PC Gaming

I'll start - was super into Cult of the Lamb until Nightreign came out and as a Fromsoft addict I haven't really played anything else since.

I'm couch surfing rn and only have my laptop, so I can really only play Stardew Valley. I've been slowly changing production entirely over to ancient fruit from hops.

I wish could play Satisfactory tho. :{

Cyberpunk 2077

Stardew Valley

Hades 2

Diablo 4

These are the ones I’m rotating between most right now. I’ve also got Doom (2016) and BG3 on rotation, but haven’t hit them in a while.

The Steam Deck has been such a great addition. Especially being able to stream titles like CP2077 from the PC for better graphical fidelity and battery life.

Edit: Oh! And Geometry Wars 3! It’s so good on the Steam Deck! It says “Playable” but I genuinely don’t know why, it seems completely supported as far as I can tell.

DOOM using prboom I started it in Hurt me plenty but quickly had to change to Ultra-Violence because I was thinking "Where's all the monsters?", it's nice to re-play the levels and listen to the good music.

TurtleWoW when I need to relax and do some questing.

Easy Red 2. Sandbox WW2 game with a bunch of campaigns, mods, and a mission/map editor. Great developer who updates the game frequently.

It's not a visually amazing game or anything, but if you want to have Americans in German Uniforms fighting Chinese paratroopers in Stalingrad with M16s then you can. Its great

I am taking a break from working on my Skyrim mod list to try getting into Baldur's Gate 3 for a third time.

My first attempt, I picked "tactician" difficulty, didn't make optimal choices for character build and party composition, and then quit at the end of act 2 when the fights got too hard. Then I tried honour mode, minmaxed everything, was getting by okay but quit in the middle of act two because playing that way was boring.

So now I'm playing at the default difficulty level, just relaxing and having fun like a normal person.

Mostly Elden Ring and Automobilista 2. I finally got Shadow of the Erdtree but had to take a bit to ~~git gud~~ git less bad again before diving into the Land of Shadow, not helped at all by the fact that the character I wanted to go in with was not at all well-suited to fight Mohg. Still, I'm enjoying it a great deal. The map design is phenomenal, I keep just stopping to look at the landscape for a bit

Automobilista is just the go-to for having a game with some other friends who also like racing sims at the moment. It's not my favourite in terms of driving physics, but it's good enough, the car classes being relatively balanced is nice for variety in races, and I'm honestly really enjoying trying out all the South American tracks that I've never heard of

Red Dead Redemption 2.

I picked it up a yeat or two ago, played through it, and loved it. When RDR was finally released for the PC, I immediately dove into it.

RDR was ezcellent, but it made me crave RDR2 gameplay, which was far deeper. So now I'm riding around in the epilogue, completing challenges and collecting every piece of clothing, saddle, and trinket.

I'm on an everything Battletech-related kick, so Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries is what I'm playing currently.

I'm trying to 100% tropico 6 before the new one comes out.

Also been playing various games in luanti, minecloneia specifically

Striving for Light. It's the only real hybrid I have found between an arpg and a roguelite. A bite-sized PoE if you will.

Otherwise, in more or less the same genre, Magicraft (my GOTY 2024) and a tiny bit of Hellclock, tho it has yet to hook me because so far it's boringly easy - I'm still very early in the game.

Helldivers 2, have played at least a couple times a week since release with a group of friends but have been diving almost every night for the last few weeks as one of our other friends is on XBox and finally gets to join us!

Unfortunately he has only had time for one dive so far, but hopefully he has plenty of time tonight.

I'm working on getting all the ending dialogues for Metal Slug Tactics right now. It's a fun turn-based tactics take on the Metal Slug franchise with a dash of roguelike. The graphics maintain the series' hand-animated aesthetic and the sprites are super-cute, but the most rewarding part is unlocking skills and weapons for each character to allow bigger and more ridiculous combo moves. Other than that, Stormworks, my "second job".

Rogue Trader. I'm up to chapter 3 and its dragging a bit.

Grounded 2. Very early early access but its still a ton of fun.

Peak. Mostly when my friend is available for co-op but I do solo runs here and there.

Hades 2 but its mostly on the back burner until 1.0 for now.

I've got a bunch of virtual novels, Pathologic 2, The Forest, and more in my backlog but with Silksong finally releasing next week they'll probably be saying there for a while.

Currently replaying Borderlands 3 and playing Horizon Forbidden West.

Recently finished mullet madjack, decided to replay quake 2

I've been on a Lethal Company kick for a few months. I've been getting super involved in the "high quota" scene, where people try to get the highest quota possible. It involves a lot of crazy tech and good team work, and I'm really enjoying it.

I'm playing through the first Death Stranding, which I've really been enjoying. The gameplay did not hook me initially, but it grew on me. I'm a sucker for a good narrative and so I progressed because I wanted to know what was happening.

I'll want to play the second one afterwards, but I'm thinking that I'll take a break in between. Maybe try Sword of the Sea? It looked pretty cool.

Far cry 6. It sucks. I love gta style open world with lots of vehicles and weapons. It’s great for that. The missions are all the same. Go here, fetch this. Kill this person. Go back to another person.

Nightreign had me, I've gone back to it for the everdark bosses, but I find the run before the bosses the most fun.

Went back to elden ring because of it, also picked up enshrouded and have been playing that with my coop group.

Balatro and slay the spire get a run a day

Valheim, I've been playing solo most of the time, recently joined a new server.

Insurgency: Sandstorm, for a quick shooter fix. The player base is getting smaller these days. It's getting hard to get into a domination game.

I recently finished Dragon Age Inquisition, and then started Powerslave: Exhumed.

I never played any of the original versions so it’s a completely new experience for me. Enjoyable so far - it’s an interesting historical link between classic metroidvania and 90s FPS, like a proto-Metroid Prime in some ways.

I do wish they’d added a quick save button to this modern version, though.

I’ve been on a Luanti (formerly Minetest) kick past few days, mostly playing Mineclonia.

It has some small QoL upgrades over the original imo. Could benefit from controller support but scratches the itch well enough as a palate cleanser.

After this probably looking at Dungeons of Hinterberg in my backlog.

Railroader. Lots of heavily-modded Railroader.

currently going trough my personal backlog of games I've always wanted to play but never could. Never had my own console or a good enough PC. bought myself a steam deck and I've been an absolute degenerate doing nothing but playing video games. Just finished all 3 watch dogs (+ DLCs), currently working my way trough horizon zero dawn then will play forbidden west. Also simultaneously playing expedition 33, fallout 4, sleeping dogs and the witcher 3. I know its not high art but watch dogs is my favourite game and franchise I wish ubisoft would do something more with it.
