I am trying Stellaris but I'm worried it will be too complicated for me to get into.

Stellaris can be really intimidating when you first start playing because there are so many menus and systems to navigate, but I highly recommend sticking with it. The Pause key is your friend.
It's got a steep learning curve, but is technically very good. It's got a number of difficulty settings to make it playable and enjoyable for you.
I tried it once a while back and the tutorial seemed pretty good. I was able to grasp things easier than some other paradox games. My biggest worry is I don’t have time to play consistently and I will forget too much between sessions. I never picked it up again because of that, but I keep looking at it and want to try again.
Same thing we do every night, Pinky; try to ~~take over the world~~ make the factory grow. And maybe some Diablo IV, if I can get the new smelting annex finished early. Edit: oh shit, Mask of the Rose is out. Man, June is packed for gaming.
Diablo 4, haven’t been able to crack out like my friends but I’m really enjoying this game. There are a lot of systems, just hit 50 and didn’t even know what paragon was.
More D4, gamed a lot on Friday with friends. Having a great time so far
I'm gearing up for some hard lessons in street fighter 6. Still rocking that 0 win streak at the battle hub; going to work on it and get back to basics and see if things work.
Tears of the Kingdom. I'm going to be here for awhile, but this game has made me want to play some other Switch games in my collection that I've been putting off, like Xenoblade Chronicles.
Finally back into DMC 5, because I've been playing My Day Job: The One To Pay The Bills for the past week and a half (and that wasn't fun...)
Just picked up Jedi: Survivor. So that's what I'll be playing as soon as it finishes installing.
I'll keep trying to get good at Streets Of Rogue, it's rough as a beginner.
I'm working on Elden Ring on the Steam Deck (even though I have a gaming pc in the next room).
iRacing!
ROCK AND STONE
I've been getting back into Civ 6!
Outer Wilds and Battlebit!
Trying out Street Fighter 6 and their World Tour mode, my first Fighting Game, as a 30+ y/o. I completely suck at it.
Diablo 4. Just got done unlocking some altar of Liliths and doing a bit of endgame content.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales
I'll do what I always do, play Overwatch 2, get annoyed at the state the game is in, try and play anything else, go back to playing Overwatch 2 because as frustrating as it is I still can't find anything like it. Now if you'll excuse me I need to play Overwatch 2 again.
I played the demo of Life of P today. Also I am playing Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, Immortals Fenix Rising and Medal of Honor: Frontline on the PS2.
I'm picking back up Asterigos. It's a fun rpg in the souls-like category, with enough unique features to set itself apart from the crowd. I picked it up when it first released, but we had a baby and life got busy so I never finished it. Hoping to fix that soon!
Yet another Divinity 2 playthrough with the crew (1st time with mods, maybe?)
Also, I finally decided to give Cyberpunk a shot now that there are some decent mods and the game is less buggy.
Also also, I played some Minecraft with the family kids this morning and actually had a lot of fun. I need to play more mc lol!
I pretty much spend all of my time on FFXIV, but lately, been going through Last of Us again with my partner on PC
Diablo 4!
Endless sky and RimWorld have been my go to games recently.
Tears of the Kingdom, and I might find some time to make progress in Disco Elysium. But Zelda is just so addicting. I keep thinking it's time to finish the game, then spot something interesting in the distance and 3 hours later I'm still farming mini bosses in some dark chasm and looking for that last piece of an armor set.
Caves of Qud probably. Been into it for awhile now — shockingly good classic roguelike experience in a crazy science fantasy world.
Started playing Persona 5 Royal a few days ago. Such a cool game. I played the original Persona as a kid on PlayStation and thought it was cool, although I never finished it because I couldn’t get past a part where my disc was scratched.
TOTK - well and truly hooked. I think the main storyline is much more interesting this time around too so it’s the perfect example of story driven open world. That said running around the plains killing mob kind, gathering supplies and scoping weird stuff on the horizon is just the perfect gameplay loop. Fight me.
I wanna say I'm gonna be fiddling with TotK or a replay of Oblivion...
But I'm probably gonna wind up just playing 20 Minutes 'til Dawn all weekend trying to beat max darkness with the new weapons that released two days ago. 😅
Ghostwire: Tokyo, as it was in Humble Bundle, demoed it earlier on Game Pass, nice gameplay loop
Diablo on a Deck with passion fruit martinis. 🌞
Trying to get gud at Kerbal Space Program. Of course I’ve been trying that for years and it hasn’t happened yet.
All Diablo 4 all the time over here, I'm completely in love with it
Still lots to do in TOTK. I’ve also picked up Project Zomboid and am terrible at it.
Similar - Diablo 4. I did pay the extra to play last weekend too, but I'm still enjoying my first build and working my way up to the highest difficulty.
I'm back at Oblivion. The current sun and heat somehow make me feel nostalgic to those bright colours and silly interactions.
AC Odyssey is so beautiful. I still have to finish the Atlantis DLC at some point. I ran into an annoying bug that was blocking me.
I've been thinking about reinstalling Fallout 4 this weekend to play through Far Harbor and work on settlements.
But I'll more than likely just play Chrono Trigger and Cave Noire for a while and that will be it.
