It's been Jackbox every year for the past 8+ years. A side-effect of hosting the New Years Eve party for a bunch of gamers.
System Shock, the remake by Nightdive.
I'm old enough that I bought and played the original SS back in the day, and it was transformative.
This is so high on my "should play list" and yes I haven't gotten around to it. Is it truly as good as folks say? What are your experiences with it having played the original?
Path of exile 2
Borderlands 1. Still a great game
ARK: Survival Ascended; I run a public cluster for some streamers and friends.
Lost Odyssey
My son and I played COD Mobile. Domination at Shipment before my dad arrived. We just got these two assault rifles gold, and we started the grind to diamond. Itβs a fun game, without having to pay to win to enjoy.
Got a need for nostalgia. Last game was MGS4. Before that, it was THPS1&2.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
Finished a run in Windblown.
The Sims 3. I had to figure out how to disable OneDrive backup for my Documents folder, because Sims 3 insists on keeping your saves there, and somehow everything breaks if OneDrive tries to sync them. Previously I had given in and let OneDrive sync everything because Win11 nags you if you try to avoid it.
I also have to fiddle with processor affinity to get the game to launch, for some reason.
It still crashes a lot.
Red dead 2
Tcg shop simulator
Technically β Loop on my phone. But the last real game I was playing was Jade Cocoon.

Rimworld, and I just found that there are tons of mods for it. I'll likely be playing it for quite a while still.
