I've been getting started with Techtonica and continuing to play Diablo IV - looking forward to giving a new seasonal character a go in D4

OrnaRPG, TotK and D4

Asseto Corsa Competizione, back into it after a while. Working on my new profile's safety rating to be eligible for some leagues. The newer cars are fun, but I keep getting taken out by lower rank players which is making progress slow.

I will probably load up Transport Fever 2 this weekend. I got it on Summer Sale and really enjoyed the 2-3 hours or so I've put into it so far.

Should probably squealeze in some Diablo 3 but not very motivated. Also, very excited for Baldur's Gate 3 finally coming out. Gonna Bard it up!

I started playing Sekiro and died so much I gave up. I moved on to RDR2.

My friend and I started a Satisfactory world together. That's about the only thing I've had time for lately.

Well, originally my plans were to check out the newly launched Season 1 of Diablo 4, but the news on that has been very... whelming to say the least. I haven't crossed it off the list yet, but it surely won't have any sort of priority for me.

I'll probably be trying to spend a little bit of time in Destiny 2 for the Solstice event, but that also depends - past versions of it were incredibly grindy and I'm already a bit burnt out on D2.

Other than that, I've been having fun kicking back and playing the American and Euro Truck sim games, while listening to a podcast or having a TV show playing on the second screen. No time limited events, no pressure, and how much "grinding" I want is completely up to me. It's a quite nice change of pace from the live-service model of recent games.

Flip-flopping between Minecraft Bedrock and Techtonia. The latter just came out and i'm struggling my way through it

I just bought a wheel and shifter, so I've just been cruising around in Forza.

Mainly trying to get used to it because it's not the same as driving irl.

I just finished The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos. It was fun. Nothing groundbreaking, but an entertaining turn-based party-based rpg, with an emphasis on tongue-in-cheek humor. I recommend it if you like that sort of thing.

Finally picked up God of War last week on sale, so I've started that now for the first time. Liking it so far after just around 2-1/2 hours, and looking forward to seeing how it unfolds.

Cyberpunk 2077. I think I'm close to the end, finishing the side quests that have any substance to them and then the main story and I want more.

Between all the bugs, the glitching and the crashing, I should have been sick of it by now, but there's something about this setting and story that is just so gripping.

Can't stop thinking about what could have been if it lived up at least partially to the expectations.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

what bugs are you still encountering? I think the most common issue I encountered is NPC's T-Posing for a glimpse sometimes when they are rendered/loaded in view.

Street Fighter 6! Looking forward to Remnant 2 though. The first was a sleeper hit with me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I just beat aliens: dark descent. I thought it was pretty descent overall. Its kind of a real time strategy with slowmo or pause. It feels a lot like xcom but not turn based and honestly just less tactical overall as you can't issue individual commands, only commands to the whole squad. With that being my main criticism, I still enjoyed it as it did the Aliens feel pretty good, although parts of the plot were pretty silly. 7/10.

XCOM2 and PGA Tour and watching my wife post Skyrim.

A bunch of ocarina of time randomizer and World of Warcraft.

Diablo IV new season has started! I'm only few hours in but it's quite fun so far. Lots of people so live events are much more full. Weirdly enough the servers seem to be more stable too. I still hadn't had much luck with the new gimmick of putting hearts into your rings but it seems fun. The battlepass is quite interesting too. The season 0 lacked direction I feel unless you we're really hard core - now it's more approachable for casual market.

The Outer Worlds came up on humblebundle choice this much and I've just reached the second zone in the game and honestly it's awesome. People were reviewing that it's quite shallow and underdeveloped but I kinda like smaller feel. The story and production is entertaining - it feels like Fallout but more wackey. Some parts do feel like it could use more "RPG" though. Like the first big choice of the game didn't feel that impactful.

Just started Phoenix Point today. Really itching for some fresh XCOM and I don't want to play too much Xenonauts 2 before full release.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Wife and I have been working our way through Sons Of The Forest while we wait for Baldurs Gate, I'm hoping to get some time to myself soon so I can keep playing Metal Gear V

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Finally reached Phase 4 fornthe first time in Satisfactory, so I started another playthrough of Hollow Knight to celebrate.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I've been absolutely addicted to Enter The Gungeon, tryna get all the achievements. Probably the GOAT roguelike

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Currently in 2.3 in FFXIV, still having so much fun with it

Finally got into X4: Foundations after remapping all the controls and I’m about 300 hours down the rabbit hole total and 90 on my current save.

An Advanced Electronics and Turret Component bottleneck is crippling almost every faction preventing ship and station building.

I’m desperately trying to get my own stations producing while fighting off a Xenon invasion of the Free Families which has so far claimed 3 systems.

Enjoying the hell out of Beat Saber after sleeping on it for way too long. It almost feels like self-improvement as well, the higher difficulties are a workout and a half and with the massive amounts of custom songs available it's not likely to get boring anytime soon.

I do wish it wasn't mandatory to speed up the songs to get on the leaderboards, none of these tracks are improved by being played at whatever multiplier they use.

Started playing Hardspace Shipbreaker because the concept seemed interesting. And Holy moly this is just so satisfying to play. I guess now I know why people play other work simulators
