Gaming

A bit behind the curve, but I just finished The Return of the Obra Dinn. Wonderful game, I took the time to 100% it and it was very rewarding.

Haven't touched RimWorld in a few years. Got addicted to it again this week. Hopefully soon it will pass.

Mostly "Against the Storm", an Early Access Steam title.

I'm playing Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (DCSS for friends), trying to get the Orb of Zot unsuccessfully.

My best runs so far are with a Minotaur, although a Gnoll is good too, more or less. The farthest I've arrived so far is Dungeon:12, and Orcish Mines:2 were nasty the two times I achieved to get into it.

Exoprimal is currently my main game.

Caves of lore; a pixel (up to 6) party turn based RPG created by a single very active developer. Has shades of Jeff Vogel in it for me. Great little game that not many have heard of.

i am playing no man's sky these days. i have played 25 hours in last 3 days.

@chloyster right now Pikmin 4!! It's a lot of fun

Just started playing Grim Dawn again while waiting for Baldur's Gate 3.

Return to Monkey Island, Vampire Survivors and Northgard.

Plus, my boss bought an arcade cabinet for the office, so I've been playing lots of different arcade games, mostly Golden Axe, Bubble Bobble and Street Fighter II

I'm playing Dave the diver. It keeps me surprised, constantly adding new sections, while keeping the cor game loop fun. I suck at navigating though so I frequently get lost.

Minecraft, with my kids.. Got ourselves quite a neat little survival world going on at the moment.

I'm surprised nobody else is playing Remnant 2. It just came out and it's pretty damn fun.

They called the original "Dark Souls with guns" and it's definitely that sort of game in the sequel. But it's not as punishing as a typical souls-like since there's no death penalty. It's perfect for my preferences since I hate the "losing all your money when you die" thing in Elden Ring.

Apparently it's very fun in co-op but I have been playing solo so I can't speak to that.

At only $50, it's a pretty solid recommendation from me if "dark souls with guns" piques your curiosity even a little. AA title with no jank and I've only seen a single bug so far in my playing on XSX.

I'm currently hooked on Exoprimal, my wife and I are also about to start playing Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga.

I'll steup the morrowind total conversion "starwind" which seems like a really good star wars game set in the old republic era.

Unless a friend of mine buys baldurs gate 3. In zhat case it'll be baldurs gate 3. I hope it lives up to divinity original sin 2.

I finally finished Persona 5 Royal the second time in a row, and moved on to...Persona 5 Strikers lol

I've been hitting the Switch Online emus pretty hard lately. Namely Gameboy/Link's Awakening. Then I was looking through old games I haven't played in forever and got hooked on Super Monkey Ball banana blitz! And Minecraft is always in the rotation too

pikmin 4! so excited to finally have my hands on a new pikmin game. the game is very streamlined and a lot of the minor annoyances of the older games have been eliminated by one design choice or another, and it is just really easy to sit down and play.

would recommend for new players and fans of the series.

Still playing Cassette Beasts

I've been playing Doom 2 and getting into Doom mods. I saw a video about the Ashes 2063 mod and decided to try it out. It's a post-apocalyptic mod inspired by series like Fallout, Stalker, and Metro. I've seen a lot of mixed reactions about it online, but I'm really enjoying it so far, especially the second episode. It's almost like a Bethesda-style Fallout game built in Doom with little side quests and hub areas to explore in between the shooting. I keep having to remind myself that it's a free Doom mod and not an indie throwback shooter built from the ground up.

ESO, picked it up because it was free and I have some friends who play it. The difficulty spike from literally anywhere else in the world and the imperial city is nuts, kind of wish every zone was this tough. I could do without the PvP though, I got floored pretty much any time another player showed up. Worth it for those extra skill points though.

Just now getting to the Lego Batman series.

Started a fresh play of Mindustry this week and forgot how much I enjoy it. I play primarily on PC now to save my hands, but the mobile apps are free if someone wants to try it out!

I've been revisiting Kenshi again so I can form my own colony, grow it, stave off bandits, cannibalize through bandits' properties, assign my bug-man on stealth missions (steal blueprints off the Great Library), go on another stealth mission that will make the Tech Hunters salivate, while I plot my future in destabilizing the great cult and the nation of slavery using one bug-man.

Breathedge.

It has a quirky sense of humor that I enjoy, but even if you don’t I think it does a great job exemplifying the solo space base-building, survival, and mystery genres.

No oxygen included. Finally might make it to a point where I discover a new machine/furniture and have to restart again to plan my base around it.

Still Final Fantasy 14. I'm done with Heavensward, except some optional trials, which I'll do before starting the next expansion.

I thought most of the post-patch story was either trash or extremely tedious. The conclusion to the Dragonsong War was generally alright, just everything leading up to it was a chore. The Warriors of Darkness story felt like complete filler and a waste of time. After that is the stuff that leads into the next expansion, so I'll have to see how that plays out.

Imma be honest, I'm really close to just starting to skip most of the story, it's such a drag sometimes.

Road 96! Also revisiting Hyperlight Drifter

Xenonauts 2

Released into early access last week, and picked it up yesterday. Very happy with it so far. Fun and polished.

Phoenix Wright trilogy

Lately, it's been MechWarrior Online. It scratches the "Blow up stompy robots" itch.

Partner is playing Horizon: Zero Dawn and I'm helping with inventory management and tutorial quests.

Picked up Snow Runner year one. I'm having a blast with it. It's giving me something to work on that I can take my time with.

The blaster Master zero series is my new flavor. It's nostalgic and innovative all at once.
