What to Play?

With the imminent arrival of fall and the pending conclusion of my total The Witcher marathon I am giving some thought to what I want to play next.  I'm having some desire to play back through Two Point Campus.  Recent patches seem to have addressed some of my gripes about student behavior and it might be worth seeing what's changed.  The same can be said for Cyberpunk 2077 which received a sizeable (18 gig) patch in anticipation of the release of the Edgerunners anime series on Netflix.  The patch notes mentioned the addition of a few Edgerunner themed items being added to the game as well as something I've long desired--the ability to transmog outfits!

There's just something about the weather cooling off and the arrival of fall that makes me want to hunker down with a warm blanket and play something comforting.  I've been keeping an eye on a charming Australian-themed farming game called Dinkum which is currently in early access but has glowing reviews.  It might scratch that Stardew itch in a perfect way.

In other Cyberpunk related news, it looks like the first (and, I would anticipate, only) DLC called Phantom Liberty will release sometime in 2023.  The trailer has more Keanu (ala Johnny Silverhand) and the story looks to see V joining up with some sort of military-esque faction related to the NUSA.  Color me intrigued, but also realistic in the fact that it might be quite awhile before we actually see said expansion as a reality (CD Projekt can't really screw this one up or their already embattled reputation could take another big hit--I would guess that they'll take their time with it and make sure it's in a much better state before it's released.  But, we'll see.).

Happy pre-fall to everyone!  Find something comfy to play and burrow into a nice soft blanket.
