Dusted off the old Nintendo 64 to play some StarFox 64. It still holds up great.

I recently bought Cyberpunk 2077, and finished it.

My reaction was: wow, what a sick game!

Currently, I'm in between games. Tried Divinity Original Sin 2, my first CRPG, but it felt overwhelming. Planning to revisit it during Christmas break.

Gave New World a shot, found it boring, got a refund. I would rather spend those $20 on something better.

Enjoying the Tony Hawk remaster, likely to finish it in the next week or so.

Playing GTA IV, but it's gotten dull after 3 hours. The story is interesting, but the gameplay feels like I'm just running errands.

Picked up The Longing, and I've been working my way through it little by little.

Excellent game. Way more depth and much better paced than I anticipated. It's an idle game that commits to the bit. Fire it up, wait 400 days, and you're done. There's other stuff to do within the game, but it all takes time, and it's all optional but pleasantly engaging.

I give my little shade a task, then let it run in the background while I do other things, and now I'm suddenly 8000 words in to writing some fan fiction I've been bouncing around in my head. It's been a very productive week.

Age of Empires IV because of this video (1h25m) about onboarding new players to real time strategy games.

Not much gaming time, but i started Against the Storm which I liked.

Fallout 4. Modded up the wazoo with the StoryWealth collection.

Reminds me of New Vegas and the originals games now. Far more content and things to randomly discover. Not just tacky boob mods.

Cocoon

Tiny Thor

Sea of Stars

El Paso elsewhere

Edit: Kena Bridge of Spirits

I've been playing "will I be able to get Genshin Impact running in Linux in a way that is comfortable for me?"

(AAGL runs it, but I've only managed to get it full-screen or 1920x1080 in a borderless window pinned in the center of my screen. I'd like to drag that 1920x1080 window down close to the lower-right corner, but can't figure out how to move it or get it running with normal draggablr window borders). Arch+xorg+kde+nvidia. Couldn't get it to install either Lutris and haven't tried other launchers.

I'm still going through Spider-Man 2 as my main game.

I was fortunate to get a new OLED recently that does the 120hz/40fps modes and all those wizbangs, and things kinda finally feel "next gen." Smooth gameplay with little sacrifice to visuals (ray tracing is still on). Yeah yeah, it's not a 4090ti or whatever. But I'm in my living room with a giant 4K screen and surround sound and it's great.

I think with the much better SSD speeds of the ps5 and xbox, along with this 120hz business, I'm finally like "oh wow, ok. That's cool." The newest Ratchet and Clank in this setup is insane. There's probably an argument that you shouldn't have to buy a new TV to get these visual benefits and whatnot. And that's fine. But I'm fortunate to be able to get the fun toys, so I'm having a real good time.

I've picked up Battlefield 5 again because of the recent hype. There's the most players there's been for a fair while. It's a lot of fun. I am quite bad at it though.

I've finally started playing Deep Rock Galactic and I'm kicking myself for not getting it much much sooner.

Just got Witcher 3 for the Steam Deck OLED

I just started Breath of The Wild after finishing the Batman Arkham Knight.... Am I destined to be a noob in open world games lol.

I thought BOTW would be a cake as Twilight Princess, but heck, it could be hard sometimes.

I’ve gotten back into Warframe on Steam/PC recently. I’ve been pretty busy with work, so it’s nice to have a game where I can log in, do a mission or two, log off, and get back to work in 20 minutes or so. I like to play it when I need to take a short break from work, too.

I’ll probably be playing this until Spider-Man 2 gets around to releasing on Steam.

Slime Rancher and Cyberpunk 2077

Kingdom come deliverance

Two Animal Crossing at work since boss on vacation and we are some what slow. And at home enjoying the new states on American Truck Simulator.

Oklahoma and Texas.

Remnant 2. I watched Iron Pineapple's review back when it released and got excited. It went on sale a couple weeks ago and I convinced several friends to get it. It's been great. I'm just getting to the point where I can play around with different builds. The set pieces look great and the writing and lore has surprising depth, especially for a co-op shooter.

I‘m ngl, I‘ve got hooked by Payday The Heist. It‘s absolute fucking bs, but it makes me wanna bs back even harder. And I found a couple nice guys to play the highest official difficulty with so I‘m having fun. Very fortunate considering the game averages 25 players nowadays.

Probably gonna move on after I‘ve gotten all trophies, but I might return for some runs if the guys need a fourth! I would‘ve never thought I‘d enjoy it this much.

I've been going through classic FPSs in bulk. Doom, Unreal, Quake II, Duke Nukem 3D, etc.

Dirt Rally 2.0

Been busy:

Finished all of Mario wonder, got platinum for robocop rogue city and finished sea of stars on my steam deck.

Robocop was so much fun to play and felt like it could have been a new movie in the series.

Playing now dead cells on my steam deck, got my very first Xbox ever during black Friday, the series x and started playing tunic on it and on the PS5 I'm busy with tnmt: shredder's revenge.

Tunic is being a blast. Love the ingame manual you discover during the playthrough.

Grim Dawn with a couple friends, games great, 8 hours flew by, felt like a kid enjoying a game again after so long

Chained Echoes as recommended by a friend. What. A. Game!!! 30 hours in now and i can easily see myself going 100 hours on this. Beautiful story, art and mechanics, tons of old school jrpg feels. Love it

RoboQuest has been my main jam for a bit, decent little roguelite shooter. I like how you unlock travel to different areas by finding things from other paths.

Wish it scaled to more than 2 player though...

High On Life. I'm usually not big on FPSs, but the writing is so dumb/hilarious that I'm still having a blast. Also, that dino love story b-movie that's on the TV in the living room — I gotta check that out IRL.

Just finished Mario Wonder in like a week - a delight to play but too easy and way too short to 100% a game.

Currently playing Dave the Diver and understanding why it has such good reviews. A solid little game - just expect a game that literally everyone can agree is pretty good, maybe not a game you'll think is great.

Also currently loving Monster Train. Horrible theme, bad art style, and the sound effects are off-putting, but the gameplay is top notch. Very very fun. I was playing a bit of Across the Obelisk trying to capture that Slay the Spire addictive deck-builder feel, and where I enjoyed the latter (particularly for multiplayer) I never was dying to play it, just enjoyed it while I was. Monster Train I'm definitely looking forward to playing tonight, or maybe today during a boring meeting.

And of course DoTA. Always DoTA. For me it's still the best game ever made, and they keep getting better with new content, fixing community toxicity issues, trying to help the skill wall, etc. I took two years off with my daughter's birth, but I've been playing again for a few months and it's better than ever.

A mix between Lego Indiana Jones on PSP and Assassins Creed Syndicate. Hurray free givaways

Lies of P, can't believe this is the first action game from a indie studio

An unhealthy amount of City Skylines: 2.

I am also addicted to building "Quays"

I've been playing a bunch of Rogue Tower lately, going for some of the achievements. Finally got sticks and stones, but it was kinda disappointing because I got the polygon mobs instead of the missile ones and looking at the monster information, they are easier. I wanted to see if that setup would have taken on the missile mobs that kept killing me in wave 38 or 39.

Pokemon FireRed--I'm playing it in Japanese to work on my reading and speaking
