Games

On one of my random rimworld kicks right now.

Have replayed BG3s early access yet again. I just want the full thing to be out, can't think of any other game.

Halls of Torment. I both love it and hate it, in the same way I do Vampire Survivors and Brotato.

Lots of Warframe. I still have lots to collect and 8 more MR to MR30 so I'll probably be at it for a while.

At the moment, I'm actually only playing two games. I play Trackmania 2020 every day, the game is great because it is populated with content from the community to a very large extent. Every day, a new map is added to the game, on which a tournament is officially played every day. Furthermore, there are so many tracks built by other players that you will probably never have played all the maps.

And then I still play WoW Classic and WotLK - the game has actually been following me since 2004 and has not let me go since then...

Recently got Lobotomy Corporation from a friend with the message "welcome to the cult". Now I'm addicted and I'm managing my nuggets even in my dreams. Send help.

I had a falling out with a friend recently so I went to a happy place... Modded Minecraft. E6E in particular.

What I think of it? Uuuuugggg... Somehow I blink and it's already 4am.

Just finished up Tunic and Pictooi this weekend. Next up is going the be Advance Wars Reboot, I think.

With the usual smattering of Vampire Survivors and Brotato when I just have a little time available. Thanks Steam Deck for making the possible!

What Comes After and Stardew Valley on the Switch.

Cult of the Lambs on Xbox One

Nier Replicant

I reached ending A, and I'm finally beginning to see interesting differences in the current route. Finally got my Dualsense controller to work via Bluetooth on pc as well

I play a lot of WoW private servers. I'm currently on the wow hc private server. It's a small server but seems stable and friendly people. When I have free time on my phone I've been running through pokemon unbound on my GBA emulator. It's a romhack for fire red I think. Interesting story. Like the old-school 2d graphics and original story.

Me and my friends are getting back into Hunt: showdown it's still so good and the new event is a lot of fun, fighting gators in a thunderstorm is just enjoyable.

I've been playing a lot of core keeper with a friend, it's pretty fun. They've added a lot of content since we had last played so we started a new save. It's a great sandboxy 2d adventure and exploration game, worth checking out.

I bought Doom Eternal on summer sale. It's an ok game but Im actually partially bored playing the campaign.

It looks great but I'm not a fan of the forced chainsawing to get ammo. The feeling of constantly needing to change your weapon for each monster is mostly frustrating and not fun actually.

The campaign experience seems to be "die 30 times while killing the monsters in this area" followed by "die 30 times figuring out how to jump across cliffs to get where you need".

I guess the real fun is in player vs player so will try that later.

I've been enjoying Diablo IV for the most part. There is just something about huge open world games that are slightly repetitive that relaxes me. Well, as much as you can be relaxed in a game about defeating demons lol.
I almost didn't buy D4 in the first place, but I figured if I spent anywhere as many hours in D4 as I did in D3, the money would be worth it. Plus I had the very pleasant surprise of finding out that one of my favorite voice actors, Anthony Howell, plays one of the antagonists, Elias.
The only real issue I have with it is the server lagging in the evening as more people hop on. It gets a bit frustrating trying to walk somewhere and then rubber banding back to your original spot three or four times, or being in the middle of combat and everything straight up freezing. I generally have pretty good patience when it comes to video games, but holy shit it gets me close to rage quitting.

In between Diablo runs, I've been replaying the Amnesia series. I absolutely love the first two games, The Dark Descent and A Machine for Pigs, but I haven't played enough of the third, Rebirth, to say if I really like it or not. I know they just came out with another installment called The Bunker, but I think I might wait until another sale comes around to nab it.

I‘ve played Zelda TotK, Genshin Impact, and Crisader Kings III.

Genshin was way too little content for the patch IMO and I want the ability to skip dialogue so badly like you wouldn‘t believe it.

Zelda has been a blast, I wished it wasn‘t running on what is essentially a midrange phone at this point because this game deserves to have better resolution and framerate! I‘m dying so much lol

CK3 was, is, and will always be great. I‘m trying to go on a Legendary Hunt with my character but it just won‘t trigger for me… If you like conquering stuff, CK3 might be your GotY. It‘s daunting to get into but once you get the hang of it, it‘s so insanely fun to start as a small fart, eventually overthrow your duke, start your own culture, become a king, convert to naked faith, kick the pope‘s ass, create your own faith, and then have everything go downhill cause you get a holy war declared on you and eradicated.

Lately, ive gotten back into cities:skylines. The hype for cs2 got me in the mood for a good city builder.

Other than that, mainly just civ6 when im in the mood for somewhat mindless clicking & transport fever 2 for when i feel motivated to hardcore concentrate on optimization..

Playing Monster hunter 4 ultimate Really fun so far

Diablo IV couch coop is awesome.
The story is fun, over the top, dramatic, brutal. We played through it and I only wish it wasn't always online. So many moment were ruined by lag. Season 1 is about to be released but the game still lags like it's on dial-up.

I recently played CloudPunk. The voxel art feels weird at first but you get used to it. It's a fantastic game and the story is good. 5/5.

CrossCode. It is such a great game. I am quite a pseudo-MMORPG enjoyer.

My wife and have been playing the hell out of Diablo 4 (no pun intended). It has just enough elements from D2 that characters feel open and alive but is accessible enough for my wife (who would not have liked D2) to enjoy trying to come up with new builds.

Season 1 starts in two days and I'm very excited.

Other than that I've been playing ~~Curse~~ The Case of the Golden Idol. It is a sequel of sorts to Obra Dinn, but done in smaller scenarios that can be completed in 30 minutes or so each. I love going from what the hell is happening here too understanding fully all the implications in that time. Really feels like detective work.

Edit: don't even know the name of the game I'm playing haha

Got State of Decay 2 a few weeks ago and have been playing it whenever I have time. Love games with permadeath and resource management, if you're into that check it out. I'd also recommend if you like permadeath in things like XCOM, I've had some miserable moments losing characters lol

Grabbed Project Zomboid last week and it's kicking my butt. I'm admittedly making it harder on myself by starting a whole new save when a character dies, but I'm trying to figure it out without relying on too many crutches. Still pretty enjoyable even with the difficulty.

Been replaying The Outer Worlds and some No Man's Sky as I await Starfield. TOW is just as good as I remembered, and NMS is still a chill time suck that I can "space" out to.
