Magic the Gathering: Arena

I used to play Pokemon Trading Card, the game, and started to realized I didn't have any chance on getting good cards from the packs I got for free. Like if you don't pay they make the game real difficult, doesn't this happen with Magic?

A lot of VR lately. I got a Quest 2 not too long ago. Haven't really messed with VR since the Virtual Boy, so it's been quite the education how far VR has come since.

A lot of what I keep going back to for it is Beat Saber, Ragnarock (Viking drumming game, reminds me of when I played Timpani in band back in high school, I even had four drums like the game does), Puzzling Places (putting together a 3D puzzle, works super well in VR), Lone Echo, Half Life Alyx.

It quickly made me change my plans for a video game I'm working on in my spare time, and now I'm planning to add VR support to it. Always kind of wanted to anyway, but it was more of a "well, maybe someday". It's a higher priority now.

I only play limited (draft and sealed deck) game formats, where everyone is by definition on equal footing. There are entry fees to these games and prizes for doing well, so if you do well enough, you don't need to pay anything. Also, Arena has a system for constantly giving you some gold if you play often enough, which also helps. In my case, I've put in $100 into my account last August, have easily played couple hundred of hours since then and still have around $40 left. I'm a decent player though.

I used to game casually on PC years before.

I don't anymore. I have other things to do that I give more priority to.

I played GTA 5 some months ago. The whole story mode.

I have purchased Factorio some weeks ago and I love it. I have played it for some hours. Would love to play more.

Read Dead Redemption 2 looked very interesting when I saw a friend play it.

I would like to buy and play it someday.

Into The Breach is another game that I have played recently.
