Gaming

I'm trying to decide between Dredge, Inscryption, or one of my many other games on Xbox/Steam Deck...

Damn indecision and having too many games to play :(

I'm playing Mech Arena and that's gonna be my go-to game for a while. It's exactly what it sounds like. It's one of those F2P games that tries to get you addicted and spend loads of money. I'm sure the game is almost entirely supported by whales. I just watch the voluntary ads to get my little rewards.

I just finished a Civ 5 relapse (can't get 6 to run), so I'm on the new system shock right now.

I highly recommend it. It is both very faithful and much more accessible. More than anything, it perfectly captures the feeling of playing the first game, where it seems that you're just a pest, scurrying around this huge structure trying to defeat something so far beyond you it seems like a mouse trying to kill a whale.

Cyberspace is...kinda boring though TBH. Its faithful, but...meh. I'd recommend playing at 3 combat, 2 puzzles, and 1 cyberspace for a first run.

Going to be playing V Rising tomorrow with some friends. I've never played it, but they are excited about some content that dropped recently. I'm looking forward to it!

Timberborn. Need to get my hydro engineering on!

Darktide. New map drops today. Gotta smash 'em heretics.

Speedrunning Tears of the Kingdom. The community for that is a bit over-focused on any% in my opinion, but exploring master sword rta route options has been really fun. MSRTA starts at new game, ends at getting the master sword. First known run of the category was 2:10:36 which means sub-2 should come fairly easily. For comparison, 2:30 was a goal time for master sword rta in Breath of the Wild for quite a while.

Also sometimes working on my casual file for it, I haven't quite finished all the quests yet.

Grinding at the new Savage raids in Final Fantasy XIV until my fingers bleed. I want to see if I can get three clears week one this time!

I've been hopping between a few:

Been playing sims 4 multiplayer mod with my wife.

Booting up StarCraft 2 again with some work buddies.

In my solo time, I just beat what content there is in slime rancher 2, am just deciding what's next on the docket, though I've been itching to play Terraria calamity mod again

I just tried the demo for Tiny Thor - it's a retro platformer and it was gooood. The gameplay is fun and the enemies are unique.

It's releasing soon and I'm looking forward to playing the full version

I should wrap up Pokemon Violet... pretty close to the end of the main story. I'll probably get that knocked out over the weekend. Funnily enough, Nintendo actually sent me an email encouraging me to complete the game which actually asked me if was stuck. Ugh. I've played these games since the very beginning. I know what I'm doing. I'm taking my time because I'm a busy working adult.

I've been focusing most of my game time on Persona 5 Royal. It is really great. Over the weekend I played the Quarry with my family and wrapped up Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart.

I’ve been making my way through the STEINS;GATE 0 visual novel, and I’ve been having a great time. It’s effectively replaced watching TV/anime for me; I turn on my nvidia shield, stream the game, and off I go.

BapBap, a simpler Battlerite, and Cosmoteer, a crossover of RimWorld and FTL.

I'm mostly playing Battle Brothers and a little Orx. No matter how many tactical games i try, i keep coming back to Battle Brothers. Orx is fun Carcassonne Solitaire.

i finally started playing cyberpunk after a year of owning it. glad to report i only ran into game crashing bugs twice over 80hrs of gameplay. I've noticed a bunch (prob 20ish) of minor bugs related to elevators and summoning cars. also some light fortnite when my coworkers are bored

DayZ. Bought it like 2 years ago, but only played like 30 hours. Dropped it because for me it was really hard at the beginning when I played solo. Maybe I watch some tutorials this time for an easier start.

I've been playing a lot of the Medieval Madness and Han Solo tables in Pinball FX3 on my steam deck. Set up the gyro to allow me to nudge the table and it's really helping me get high scores

Tears of the Kingdom and my usual, Team Fortress 2.

How's tears?

Story sucks. Everything else doesn't. Luckily Nintendo knew this was coming and made the B button able to skip a lot of dialogue. Too bad most of the cutscenes aren't skippable unless they repeat.

Hoping to hop back into the updated Vision Jet in MS Flight Sim

Tears of the Kingdom on my steam deck :) That and Warhammer III. Want Diablo IV but kind of broke at the moment

I've been playing tears of the kingdom in small spurts and the System shock remake.

Switching between TOTK and M&B: Bannerlord. Trying a Sturgia all infantry run in the latter. Also WOULD be playing more Hell Let Loose if not for the tragic Update 14,

Assassin's Creed: Black Flag

I've always been a casual gamer at most, so never really got into playing bigger games until I met my wife. So now I play the games with a good story that she's already played. Played Odyssey a while back, which I loved, so I've gone back a few because I remember her enjoying it not long after we got together.

It's looking pretty dated, and Ubisoft have stripped out pretty much all of the online stuff now, but the basic game is still playable, and I'm enjoying it a lot.
