My gaming PC is finally, finally working! Kinda, I need to reinstall steam, but I'll do that later. For now, I can finally play Baldurs Gate 3 and not have the performance be dogshit

Still slowly making my way through BG3

Just got off elder scrolls online to get ready for work and i will be returning to elder scrolls online immediately upon getting home

Reliving my tweens yet again with some Sega bangers, Virtua Fighter 4, Outtrigger, Outrun 2006 for PC

Tried some more emulated Bloodborne after waiting a year, figuring performance would be much better, but it's not. Still not even able to sustain 30fps at "1080p" (patch to run at 720p enabled) with a bunch of performance-increasing mods (reduced LOD/texture detail, reduced cloth physics, chromatic aberration and motion blur off). The latest release is allegedly a huge performance boost, even, but I see almost no difference from a year ago. My PC's now 6 years old and not top of the line by any means, but it's been able to run just about everything I want it to. A 2060, an i5-9600k, and 16GB of RAM apparently just doesn't cut it I did beat Bloodstarved Beast at like 20-30fps with a ton of frame drops at least.

Got Vampire Survivors back up to 100% completion, some of the emerald diorama secret characters were bugged so I had to manually enter their codes which felt lame.

Did a few runs of Halls of Torment, not playing the DLC, just achievement hunting. It's still pretty good but I have totally forgotten what equipment I used for builds or what the good stats are.

As always, played more Warframe. Got the Hildryn prime resurgence relics done, and with Shade Prime I've now finished the robotics tab! Finished my last Lich too, which on the one hand means I don't need to do liches ever again, but on the other means that I am rapidly running out of things to boost MR that are remotely fun to do. Currently have 10 items available that aren't vaulted primes. The future is infinite railjack, void armageddon (curse you Hespar), and ESO, with Duviri puzzles on the side.

Grinding through a few dozen maps in Path of Exile, trying to fund my next build. GGG is gonna be releasing the next Path of Exile 2 league mid December so I don't even have that much time left.

I finished dispatch. It was nice, I really enjoyed it.

Back to work trying to stomp then conqueror France as England in EU 5 during the hundred years war. Currently feeling pretty good with phase 2 of the war. Managed to secure alliances with Castille Spain, Portugal, Aragon, the Papal States, and Brabant. So I'm hoping when I can hop on next time I play I can tear some good chunks off of France for phase 2 and set up for an English victory in phase 3 then see how viable it is to make an English-Portuguese-Spanish-French-Aragonese-Austrian crown union Unification play.

found someone selling a PS3 slim for 50 bucks so i picked that up as a birthday present to myself. been playing thru Prototype 1. wanted to try this game for years but the PC port is fuckin garbage so i couldn't. highly recommended to anyone who likes causing chaos.

edit: also playing runescape but my brain didn't register that as a game im playing since im just always playing runescape

I started playing Frostpunk again, and decided to 100% the achievements. Which has led to some weird things, like I said in the general mega I spent 14 days doing nothing but executing engineers.

metroid prime 3 on steam deck :3

Like a dragon infinite wealth, love this game itchy balls is me fr

Bought a 9070 XT. Plugged it in, Linux already has drivers, good to go, vroom vroom. Played a 12 year old game at 300 FPS, as is tradition after an upgrade. Back on my Total War kick (I already have like 500 hours across all the different games), this time with some minimal mods, since I've never really used them. Deciding between Shogun 2 or Three Kingdoms for a campaign though. Might also start Outer Worlds 2 like OP. I clowned hard on the first one because it was the most aggressively average game I've ever played, but I'm hearing better feedback about the 2nd one and want that Bethesda/Obsidian style game rn.

Tried to load a couple old saves in Cities: Skylines. Shit is impossible. Cloning the dinosaurs would be more simple. Little progress in WR:SR as I balance the idea of potentially starting a new map. Torn between "Kentuckygrad" (an extremely mountainous map where you're basically limited to building in the narrow hollers of the appalachian mountains) and doing DPRK again (much more laid back in terms of buildable space and resources).

new dwarf fortress now that the siege update is out

Yet more Hades! I just got the invitation quest for the Olympians, so nearing the epilogue. Still a great game, and I'm surprised to notice my skill/power keeping up with the heat as it rises. I did a full Extreme Measures run the other day and finished with death defiance left over! I'm sure a good portion is just pattern recognition

I will say an annoyance that's become more apparent is how opaque some of the mechanics are, particularly how some boons (especially legendaries) are locked behind taking other boons first.

just finished crosscode+dlc after ~80 hours

why did it have to be so good and wholesome

Playing Diablo 4 with my girlfriend UwU

Been grinding through Enshrouded lately. They've really polished it and padded it out since last time I played. I'm having a great time with it.

Hoping the next EU5 patch fixes some of the annoying issues i'm having in warfare. If so, ill start a new campaign and play it through the week. Otherwise, just wasting time on BF6 and Escape from Duckov.

Highfleet.

Dune meets Kin-dza-dza with cultures being a mix of Russian Empire and Afghanistan with a touch of Persia and Central Asia. You command a fleet of 1000-ton metal bricks that fly on liquid methane and emit enough CO~2~ over the course of the campaign to raise global temperature by a couple degrees (which is counteracted by the nuclear winter). UI is absolutely incredible, clicking the buttons and toggles is immensely satisfying. The game also turns you into a Pavlov's dog, who gets all sweaty, when you hear Thermal signature detected.

CW for flashes, the game is extremely epilepsy-unfriendly.

some more time stranger with my fiancée and a little KeeperRL, a fun roguelike reimagining of dungeon keeper

KSP. I got a crewed ship to Duna and did a landing. I also got a shitload of science points by putting a mapping satellite in a polar orbit of Moho.

Been playing Tales of Maj'Eyal, it's a trad roguelike in a similar vein to, say, ADOM. My current character is a Doombringer, a person who was experimented on by demons but now wields their demonic strength against their former captors. You can add a custom tile for your character graphic, so I ripped a sprite from luvquita's Kemonomimi Daisy Companion mod for Doom to make bunny girl Daisy my TOME avatar:

(For those not steeped in Doom lore, Daisy was Doomguy's pet rabbit who was killed by the demons. She's back for revenge!)

I mostly played Nubby's Number Factory, i won as Mutant Tony and Criminal Tony, so im doing more challenges now

Also i have been watching video about the new Total Warhammer dlc, im really liking the new norsca units and rework

Combination of World of Tanks and Mordhau (i dont know why i do this to myself)

A while ago, I found out about a new game called Sektori, which is a twin stick shooter with roguelike elements made by a Finnish ex-Housemarque dev. If you liked Geometry Wars, you definitely need to try it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2105620/Sektori/

Other than that, Night Striker Gear and the usual shmups and stuff.

FTL: Multiverse mod.

Achieved the alternate ending on a coupla ships but haven't yet had the rng to get any of the Zoltan ship unlock events.

Update: Finally unlocked the monk one, now I just gotta get an ending with it to unlock more.

I reinstalled New Vegas for my 12th attempt at a villain run. I usually fold the first time I get the option to be mean to Victor. This time I've decided to take a different route and do a genocide run. The only character motivation I can find for being mean to Victor is being a heartless psychopath.

Also I chose to play as a woman, and I managed to make a real pretty face in character creation. My original plan was to play as a woman in the Legion, since it seemed like the most novel way to play a villainous character. Josh Sawyer had me in his sights and then I realized I could just kill all the powder gangers. Heck, I could just kill everybody.

In Tabletop Corner:

WoD has recovered from two catastrophic sessions, though my teammates really have to get better at not blowing our cover. My character is de-facto team captain and I absolutely did not design him with that in mind.

Been trying Where Winds Meet. It's pretty but it screams gacha-- the items are cosmetic but they have a leaderboard for "beauty score".

i was playing team fortress two still, and overall, I'll say that like before, the players are a mixed bag in casual, and that I really should stop playing and listening to a video at the same time, prevents me from playing optimally and I can't even process the video well, especially since it's a multiplayer game..

I finished crosscode, and have been plinking a little time into ballxpit and power wash simulator 2 every day.

And just started metaphor refantazio today, that will be my main game for the next month or 3.

Been revisiting some Castlevanias - first I did Curse of Darkness which I never played before but the last week or so it's been Circle of the Moon and Aria of Sorrows, both of which I played before. I finally got the chaos ring in aria, I did it in Dawn years ago, I just really love the Soma games. The souls system is fun as hell.

Played a bit of this game Duel Corp. It’s pretty far from being finished and I didn’t get to play much but the combat is very Code Vein, it’s got retro pixel-y 3D graphics and it seems like there’s a whole faction system/world sandbox going on. Reminded me of the game from the video game episode of community except it was a 3D souls-like. All NPCs are named and can be schmoozed (and maybe romanced?), you can steal/kill and be punished for it or run out of town. Pretty neat but again, very far from done they only have once class available.

The Felix series on Metal Gear made me really want to replay them and play the ones I never got around to so I'm starting with the MSX games. Finished MG1 the other day and now onto MG2. It's wild how much of the series' DNA can be traced back to these games.

osrs sailing. i like it.

Roped some friends into the Wildgate free weekend, might have converted a few into ship crew. Love me some coop ship games.

Gunna' keep playing Blastwind I think. And then I don't know. Might finish watching Birdcage Of Horror on Dreamcast. And maybe I can finish Scorn and SHf on NG+.
