@Makan just a little bit of Dwarf Fortress. But now I'm focused on studying for an exam to (hopefully) become a federal employee.
I want to get into drawf fortress but struggle with actually sitting down to learn it.
Good look with your exam.
Anything in particular you struggle with or is it just everything at once?
Purchased both fallout 4 and Subnautica. Gotta say that Subnautica is a freaking gem.
I want to play subnautica with a heart monitor just to see how bad my thalassophobia is lol
Lol that would make some good content.
Full noise canceling headphones + complete absence of light (block windows and door with black trashbags) + thalasssophobia.
Subnautica is a really fun game, atmosphere wise. Even if I don't really vibe with the whole "corporate space" stuff it has in the background. Good luck with survival!
Im pretty sure its making fun of that setting. Like when you first pick up Diamonds, there is a recording that says that everything you pick up is owned by the company so you would be indebted if you lose the stuff lol.
Last week was Bioshock.
This week Bioshock 2!
I'm taking it very slow.

Question(s) of the week:
What games coming out in 2024 are you most anticipating?
Bro the notification has been stuck for two days I can't use the ☑️ button to get rid of it, I think it's the size that made the lemmy notification go bad 😵💫
Edit : Ok so replying made it disappear, let's call it a workaround 🤣
Got back into SMT: Nocturne this week and the Fallout hype is dragging me back to the Commonwealth so that's what I've been playing recently aside from my regular daily rotation of Genshin, Star Rail, and Nikke, lol.
I'm really excited for Frostpunk 2, I've been anticipating that since like 2021. The gameplay seems to be more like Cities: Skylines this time around, with some other elements mixed in. I so can't wait.
Currently waiting for Stellaris DLC, Machine Age. Looks quite epic and is biggest DLC since Nemezis.
Dang, Jerboa does not handle cross-post well. Anyways.
I've been playing the hell outta Minecraft with a few friends, just started our own server and I've been using purpur with a few plugins to make it more fun.
Honestly I don't even know my favorite genre anymore. Either hack and slash or fps but I haven't played either in a while.
Not necessarily a game but a mod pack. Skyrim ultima looks so fun and 1.0 came out this year. I just need a PC that can handle it
Skyrim Ultima, eh? Guess I'll check it out!
I’ve been playing Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey and Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer lately. I’ve got a long commute to work, so the DS has become my best friend when I don’t feel like reading. I also started another playthrough of Diddy Kong Racing, initially just to test homebrew N64 emulation on my Switch. It actually runs well! It also plays mostly nicely with widescreen hacks, only downside is I have to run the game at base N64 resolution to avoid slowdown.
My favorite genre is probably RPGs? But I tend to get really into one or two genres at a time and then switch to something else after a bit. Recently it’s been roguelikes and, briefly, pinball. Before that I was playing a lot of bullet hell games. I think more and more I’m just interested in games that I don’t have to commit to for more than one play session.
What games coming out in 2024 are you most anticipating? Or games that are coming out sometime in the future?
I don’t know if this counts but I’m very excited for the Majora’s Mask PC port to release! I’ve been checking their Discord server every day hoping to see news. Otherwise, Demonschool seems pretty interesting, and Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance I suppose? I thought the original release of that was only alright, but hopefully the new route will be something I’m into.
Sorry if this is against the rules, but I figured this was an appropriate comment to plug !roguelikes@lemmygrad.ml. I opened it last night, but I don’t actually know what to post there lol. I made it with traditional roguelikes in mind, but there’s not any strict rules yet, so if you’ve got opinions on what should be allowed or whatever feel free to chime in.
I just finished purrgatory yesterday! It's a really cute visual novel about befriending weirdos and going to heaven. Getting the best ending took me the entire afternoon but it was worth it. Highly recommend if it looks interesting to you (it's free and playable in your browser (but maybe not on mobile))
I've been giving Endless Space 2 another try. Did a Horatio win, now I'm doing a Riftborn playthrough. I feel this game is a bit barebones. I want to like it, but after 1 or 2 playthroughs, I feel bored and need to move on. The orchestral music is great though.
I was thinking of trying Stellaris again, haven't touched it in years. The 2.0 update was a deal breaker for me.
Catgirl sorcerer game (ffxiv)
Makes sense.
I got very addicted to Pokemon go for a week very recently, but I quit.
Funny that I aim to get into Pokémon Go soon.
Play recently? Slay the Spire. That game's actually really popular in the PRC so I did a run in simplified Chinese to test my knowledge of the game.
Favorite genre? Action Adventure. Stuff like Zelda
Anticipated games in 2024? Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.
So basically Zelda-likes, right?
Yeah. Obviously including Zelda itself.
Zelda's great.
Do you like 2d zelda as well and 2d zelda-likes like Binding of isaac?
I love 2D Zelda. Yet to play Issac but I want to.
A couple of recent games I really enjoyed are Spiritfall and Viewfinder. Spiritfall is like dead cells meets super smash bros, and Viewfinder is similar to Portal in feel. Haven't really been keeping up with new games coming out, mostly focusing on my backlog. :)
Same.
Im playing the CK3 mod, After The End right now alongside keeping up with Guilty Gear Strive.
Learning to drift in Mario Kart 8 200cc. I like platformers, so been switching to Mario World 2 when too many 12th places finishes in MK gets me down.
Still waiting for Odyssey 2. Yea nintendo is evil but even the bad marios are better than most of the best AAA
Actually have some time this weekend to play games and I decided to go back to Guild Wars 2 for a bit. Trying out Condition berserker (more like gearing it up lol).
I just realized that I have month to finish getting the good stuff out of the wizard's vault, and I feel like this time there's a lot more stuff than the last few resets.
I was playing Baldur’s Gate 3 but had to stop because my poor laptop couldn’t handle it and school work (I might actually buy a steamdeck because of this). Currently I’m playing Princess Peach: Showtime (don’t judge me), Stardew Valley (waiting for the 1.6 update), Pokémon, and sonic origins (stuck on marble temple or whatever).
I don’t really have a favourite genre, but it looks like I lean towards role play games (I like character creation).
I am considering picking up TF2 (though I dislike online games, stranger danger) and fallout.
I’m looking forward to the new sonic generations game and a few Stardew-esque games that don’t have a release date yet.
How is princess peach? I played the demo and liked everything but the cake making. Does the difficulty ever ramp up tho or should I not go in expecting challenge?
The difficulty does go up (it’s still not that hard) especially with rehearsal levels. What I don’t like is the lack of check points. If you miss a collectible you cannot backtrack, you have to restart/replay the level as a whole to get it. I’m just happy to get a Peach game, I’ve been waiting since Super Princess Peach came out a million years ago.
I just picked up The Forgotten City on a whim and it was very enjoyable!
My favorite genres are horror and simulation.
One game I'm looking forward to is the next Dragon Age? I know it's gonna be a long while...
Played Millenia & Tropico 6, (waiting for next update to drop in helldivers 2)
Grand Strategy is by far my favourite genre, followed closely by 4X, and then shooters
I am excited for Manor Lords next week, but after Millenia I am trying to temper my expectations
I have been replaying Syrian Warfare since I got it in January and I played literally nothing else
Did not know that game existed, since steam reviews seem to say it's russian propaganda it's probably really good.
It's unironically very good (except for AI movement) and yes it's Russian propaganda and yes it is based.
Bought the lego batman bundle on steam about a month ago. I loved those games back when i was a kid, so replaying them feels amazing!
