I dug up my old 3DS in the past weeks, installed some custom firmware to play my backups of DS/3DS/GBA games. A bit of Zelda Minish Cap, some Metroid Fusion... But mostly I find myself playing various Pokemon ROM hacks lol.

I've been getting into "Pokemon Elite Redux", which is a difficulty/challenge game centered around each Pokemon having up to 4 abilities at the same time in battle. And there's tons of new abilities that make each pokemon uniquely useful. It's certainly challenging, even on the lowest difficulty. It's happened to me several times that I have to get together a whole new team to beat a single trainer. But, there's zero grinding involved, and there's SO many quality-of-life changes that it's super easy to get a whole new team squared up in just a few minutes. That makes it really easy to jump in for a few minutes when I can, without feeling like I'm wasting my time

Spongebob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated. Wanted to play something silly and and stress-relieving. This fit the bill.

Caves of Qud. Kitfox picked it up to publish recently and I figured it was time to play it a bunch again. Truly an incredible game.

I think I'll take a break from Final Fantasy 14 for a while. The story was just so uninteresting for so long, that I just don't want to continue right now. Everything else was good enough, the different jobs I tried were fun, but I just need to do something else.

Other than that, I started Baldurs Gate 3 with a friend, we are still relatively early, exploring the first region.

100%ing hogwarts legacy is not very fun, and im also burnt out from the game. playing gtav now

Loop Hero! It's free on Epic right now and I've been really enjoying it! A nice blend of procedural generation, deck building, and roguelike allow it to be a very rewarding and engrossing experience overall where I feel I'm consistently progressing.

I still haven't been able to beat The Lich yet, but little by little I'm knocking his health down that much further to make the loop (heh) feel rewarding!

Hopping between Remnant 2, Destiny 2, Honkai Star Rail, and Nexomon Extinction.

Genshin Impact has consumed my life. Send help. Looking forward to Fontaine!

Still playing Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds and 0 A.D. See this comment for details.

Also checked out SWTOR but I couldn't get past the clunky controls and camera, so considering dropping it. Also checking out Star Trek Online for the first time, and it's looking promising. The combat is a bit weird, but I like the controls better than SWTOR.

Diablo 4, hopelessly addicted to necromancer. 93 main and 87 seasonal. add Lyreli if you're around the same lvl

My friends and I just started playing Last Train Outta' Wormtown last night and it's a blast with a group. One player plays a worm who can only detect players while they are standing on the ground. The goal of the worm is to kill all the players before they can fix a train and escape.

We've also just started playing Gangbeasts which is also a lot of fun with a group. I'm sure most have seen this one by now though.

I was playing red dead 2 a few weeks ago and picked it up with my steam deck. Now I'm playing uncharted 4 and realizing how rockstar and naughtydog built very similar games between the two. Rockstar is far more slow and frankly full of themselves. Not respecting the players time. Meandering through the story with no real semblance of player respect. I put 26 hours into red dead 2 and I feel like I've literally done nothing and feel very under accomplished. I've put 8 hours into uncharted 4 and feel extremely accomplished and invested in the characters.

Even though I'm pissed at Nathan. He's such an idiot, I hate him and can't wait to play him more. Author Morgan is just a bland cowboy that tries so much to just get by. Red dead 2 introduced more main characters than uncharted 4 has in side and main characters. Yet in red dead 2 they've developed none of them part the point of the basics. I'm uncharted they've developed all of their characters. Even the side ones that barely show up.

Likewise in red dead 2, they kill one character I only liked because their accent allowed me to actually tell them apart from the rest of them. The other character the big baddies kidnapped and I've played like 2 hours waiting to go get him back. It's like wtf, let me go rescue the damn character already. Yet the game keeps saying we'll do it as far as possible. We gotta track down all this shit. It's clearly like this filler content because during it another random main character gets kidnapped, they find her right away and it's rescued in one mission. Like what universe is this?

In conclusion, red dead 2 is trying hard to do what uncharted 4 did extremely well. The open world system does not help it one bit and it's turned me off of open world games altogether for a while.

I'm playing FreeDoom: Phase 1, and downloaded some wads that work perfectly with FreeDoom, like D2TWWRI, Plutonia 2 and TNT Revilution.

Got Murder By Numbers free off EGS, and wife played it before so I thought I'd give it a go. It's an interesting mash-up of visual novel and nonograms. Interesting trivia, the dev's next game was Fall Guys.

Having finally had a few days off, I recently finished Crysis 1 and Warhead. I'm currently playing Crysis 2. Great games. I can't believe I've never played them before

Currently playing 'Brotato' on the Switch! Super fun quick game,.

Each round you have to survive and then spend money on weapons/items to survive the next round until Round 20 (unless you do endless).

You unlock difficulties (by surviving the rounds) and characters with different perks/attributes.

my husband and I are playing Diablo 4 still. we made our third each character a few days ago and are enjoying the seasonal content. my best friend and I are currently doing her first playthrough of all the kingdom hearts games. it was my first time beating KH1 myself. i finally made it to a world in kingdom hearts 2 after the endless Roxas prologue. we only get a couple hours every weekend, but it's been really fun. and in between on my own I'm playing pikmin 4.

I've been playing little bits of Aven Colony, a straightforward and fun space-colony-themed city manager. However, mostly I've been watching my wife play Baldur's Gate 3 and thinking "We should really buy another beefy gaming PC before Starfield launches so we can both play games simultaneously... "

Baldur's Gate 1 single player, Divinity: Original Sin 1 in co-op. I was playing through Colony Ship which is another isometric RPG, but I didn't want to get to the end of the early access content before release later this year. I figure if I play through the originals of BG and D:OS I'll have a good amount of time to wait for BG3 to be in sale and have some updates maybe. That or Colony Ship will be released.

I finally got my PC up and running and I am playing a hell of a lot of BattleBit Remastered. It's what Battlefield 2042 SHOULD have been. It's basically if Squad and Battlefield 4 had a Roblox Baby made by literally 2 developers.

Its absolutely the BEST shooter on the market right now, and it's dirt cheap. Please, this isn't an advertisement, but GO BUY IT NOW.
