I'm going to do these periodically.

Title kinda says all.

I'll have my own reply later.

Special weekly question:

What do you like most about 2023's repertoire of video games?

Lol, so I actually don't do much in the way of regular gaming on my own nowadays. I'm big into the potentials of VR, but I'm also poor, so when I do play it tends to be HalfLife:Alyx again or some campaign someone made for it.

Been playing Dwarf Fortress lately. Trying to get some Serious Sam 3 going right now. Hoping the world does a big RETVRN to Zdaemon CTF.

The gaming situation is bleak right now. I've got tons of games, and there are tons more out there, but I'm not excited about anything.

Alan Wake 2. It was good. Up its own arse but in a good way.

GLOOOOOM WOOOOOOOOD, i really, really love this game, even though updates take years and it probably wont be finished any time soon, its still one of the best old school style shooters made in recent years and the aesthetic is so charming, its the perfect game to play on a snowy evening

Picked up Tears of the Kingdom again. Its fun but I think its just a bit too long, I was ready to wrap things up before I had even explored the last two regions. I guess playing Breath of the Wild not long before TOTK didn't help.

Also, Pokemon Showdown, as always. Been ploughing through the low ladder on random battles, and I've switched from VGC doubles to OU singles because there's not been enough VGC changes to keep my interested.

Also pirated the Sims 4 with all the DLC. Made myself, applied to college, got terrible grades somehow (I genuinely dont know what I did wrong) and then had to drop out because I was broke. So that got a bit too real

I played Baldur's Gate 1 and started playing 2 a few days ago. It took me some time to get used to how things work in the games (I have no experience with d&d so some things where quite hard to understand in the beginning), but I really love the games. The themes and story are great and I am really amazed at the amount of interactions that are possible and what kind things you are allowed to say. Like, you can criticize Baldurans colonialism in 1 in a random dialogue that is not really important for making progress in the game, for example. Or you can rescue the drow Viconia who is basically only prosecuted for her skin color in both games. Also class difference is a major theme in 2 and I like how it is even present in your own party. I'm also really looking forward to kill some slavers when I'm powerful enough.

I got the skyrim anniversary addition for my nephew to play when he comes over. Been playing 2-3 hours a day for a week now. Kind of shocked it was made by the same people that did the fallout series.

I've been playing nothing but Brigador for like two months now.

Tried to get into Shadows of Doubt but that games a bit of a time commitment and also the mechanics are kinda wonky.

I have a mid PC so I really only play lower-Rez indie games, like interactive novels a lot.

I played the Coffin of Andy and Leyley and it was fine. I also played a bit of the Edo Period Yakzua game (They cannot make me care about koi-koi, and they should stop trying) Also tried out dicey dungeons for a lark, it's pretty fun so far, but I hate playing the inventor.
