What are you playing right now?

[Time Link]

How do you get the swift sail?

[SlowPokemon]

Windfall Island auction, at night only, after you've beaten the first three dungeons (or around there)

I'm still on a Picross buzz; playing through Picross NP Vol. 3 (a JP-only, special Nintendo Power service-exclusive game) on my phone's SNES emulator. I don't know when it will end.

[Dudeman]

Picross is so addicting, you have no idea. I downloaded e8 on my 3DS and fully completed it in like four days tops. I did not sleep much.

[SlowPokemon]

In my Zelda marathon, I've beaten Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask (Wii U virtual console) as well as Wind Waker HD, so I'm currently giving Twilight Princess HD a second chance. Here's hoping I don't find it boring as shit and give up 20 hours in again.

I'm also 10+ hours into Octopath Traveler and have loved every minute. It's really rare that a JRPG draws me in so quickly like this. I'm having a great time.

As a final note, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is still an absolutely perfect game in terms of level design and presentation. I picked it up for 3DS (I'd honestly recommend it over the Switch version unless you're concerned about HD graphics) and have been doing a level or two whenever I get bored of those other two or need a change of pace.

This is a really good week in games for me, lol.

I got octopath, but I'm saving it for a trip and trying to marathon through the last 2 cases of Danganronpa V3 by tomorrow night when I leave for vacation.

[SlowPokemon]

Oh man lmfao have fun with the third act of Danganronpa V3, that was easily my game of the year 2017

[Maelstrom]

So far it's definitely the best Danganronpa game. I'm currently at the investigation for the 4th chapter.
 I've heard the ending is polarizing and I can't wait to see it.

[Time Link]

You guys are saying that Picross is a really fun game. What's it like?

[Trasdegi]

Example of a solved picross:

[Time Link]

So is it like Pokemon Sudoku?

[Trasdegi]

Nope: at the start the grid is empty, but the hint numbers are here. looke at the first line: you have 2 black squares, then 3, 2, and 2. So the hint numbers are 2-3-2-2. And the goal is to find all the black squares.

[Time Link]

So the numbers tell how far away other black squares are?

[LeviR.star]

The numbers don't tell you the size of the gaps; if you start with placing down squares for larger numbers, you can work your way through, and it'll get easier as you go. Number 1 rule of Picross: don't guess. Guessing and marking incorrectly results in a time deduction, unless you're playing Picross S, in which case it'll make it easier for you through a guess-and-check method, and that's a bad habit to get into.

[SlowPokemon]

I always just turn off all hint and mistake correction features whenever I download a new game. Picross S is the only one I haven't 100%ed yet.
