Just finished Judgement, the third game cleared this year. Took me more than 30hrs according to my save.

I am now both sick to death of Kamurocho and eager to get back to Kiwami 2.

Depending on where you are in Kiwami 2, you could go to Sotenbori instead

Honestly, it sounds like Skyrim is very easy to just pick-up and play as opposed to Morrowind.

Totally. Honestly so many of the things I hate about Skyrim just make it a way easier game for people to enjoy. I even enjoyed it, on xbox, unmodded, taking 1 hour turns with 2 other grown men. Morrowind having a better story and whatever ain't mean poo poo when in the end you remember fondly your journey and adventure, not whatever alphabets they typed out.

Yeah, I got that part. Having played 0, going there again was a genuine highlight.

Walking around virtual Japanis sort of a really sad substitute for a real vacaction during these troubled times...

japan and all other non usa countries are probably fake, if it makes you feel any better. people claim to go to these places all the time but there's never any proof and it's hilariously transparent that when you try and visit these so called "other places" they won't even let you on the plane (that theyre just going to park out of sight anyway)

Yeah, it's like Bielefeld. Never met anyone who actually came from there and if they claimed they did, they were probably lying.

if anyone here gets that obscure old joke I will be incredibly impressed

Thank you for this. It made a lot of sense. Once I am done with Skyrim I will give Morrowind another try I think.

For everyone else:
In my original playthrough of Skyrim of roughly 400 hours or so this is the amount I explored:

And for my current version, this is what it looks like. (It amazes me how gorgeous it still is after all this time).

You're really doing a good job of showing off why I don't really understand it when people call Skyrim an ugly game. Sure, the textures aren't the greatest, but they certainly knew how to make the most of them through framing and presentation. When it looks good, it looks good.

3d is the best picross, even if you play them both it's not enough!!!!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1158470/Voxelgram/ is a nice attempt if all you have is a pc, but without the block breaking sound it's not quite the same.

every time I want to play skyrim I remember that I already have so many hours in it that there's basically nothing left in the game that's new or interesting anymore

tes 6 can't come here soon enough. Even if it has all the same failings as fallout 4, just having a fantasy coat of paint will make me love it

Although I am expecting Elder Scrolls VI to be a bad game, I will not deny that Bethesda makes really pretty looking bad RPGs. At least the Elder Scroll series is, Fallout is pretty ugly in its presentation.
