it's very much borrowed from one of the reddit subs i frequent(ed) often, but the idea is to share what we're playing weekly and hopefully create discussions around those games (or simply have a sort of "check-in").

I'm hundreds of hours into my Satisfactory factory. Working on bringing my final power plant online this weekend!

Working in the swamp, late at night

Just wouldn't be a power plant without eerie green

Damn, my factory sucks ass next to this ^^

Humble beginnings my friend, we all started hand crafting iron rods and plates. This factory is my third, and this is about 400 hours in. At this stage you're at the stage of "I enjoy this, right? I'm doing this for fun, right?"

Tears of the Kingdom, and when I get burnt out, either Persona 5 or Hitman III.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've been playing TotK like it's my second job since day 1, and I still don't feel close to maxing out on its content. Breath of the Wild was my favorite game of all time, and somehow Tears of the Kingdom is even better.

Hades! It's such a fun and addicting game. I am trying to 100% the game, so I have made a couple hundred escape attempts with no escapes as of yet.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Octopath Traveler 2, pretty challenging when getting to the later portion of the game.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Tears of the kingdom, hehe. Might just play some splatoon 3.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I got Tears of the Kingdom for my birthday, so I’ve been enjoying that this week. I’m thinking about picking up Ozymandius on steam at some point for a nice 4X-Lite game.

System Shock! Felt like it's been coming out forever and then suddenly just dropped. Amazing so far

Tears of the Kingdom with my son! He is Mr. Random Adventure, while I tend to steer us to objectives. It’s a good combo.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

that sounds like a lot of fun!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Tears of the Kingdom, spending hours just making random stuff

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Tears of the Kingdom as well. I’ve been running around doing shrines and whatnot and not working on quests, though, so I need to put some time into the actual objectives, ha ha!

I just got my Steam Deck and have loved playing through BoTW via CEMU with mods (playing as Linkle!)

Right now I am trying to get modded Skyrim going on my 64gb Steam Deck, since I haven't played before and love fantasy settings!

Just finished Dusk yesterday and almost done with the first Sacred game. I've always liked it more than Diablo.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Splatoon! The new season is out, so I'm looking forward to grinding my catalogue and getting used to the new stages. This season features a lot of Nintendo game consoles for your locker, like the "Intended Entertainment System"... love it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Working on Dying Light 2. Waited for awhile for it to go on sale once and have some confirmed reports working with Proton, so partway through the campaign now!

Getting into team fortress 2 all over again, also looking into Starbound as a terraria fan it caught my eyes. A lot of reviews says to not compare so I wont

Diablo 4, enjoying it so far but their MTX shop is a joke. You want 25€ for a basic looking set of armor? I don't think so.

Season 2 of Limbus Company also just launched, finally beat 3-22 right before the servers went down. Really loving that game, the characters quickly grew on me. I play a few gacha's (Arknights, GBF, GI) but Limbus is the only one I'd recommend to friends. You can pretty much farm every identity without spending a dime and FOMO is pretty low. Helps that Project Moon is an Indie dev I guess.

Actually been playing Assassin's Creed 2. Got the Ezio collection on sale and been enjoying revisiting an old classic. I forgot how much fun the legacy AC games were.

Beyond the Retroid Flip I just stuffed with games, I've been on a Metroidvania kick lately. So I've been playing Afterimage, which is gigantic, and Astliba, which is endearingly janky and reminiscent of Falcom's PC days.

Also I found Siralim Ultimate which is like, Dragon Quest Monsters x3000, I'm glad I found it now and not in the midst of grad school or it'd be soooo Joever for me lmao

Currently playing Boltgun. Getting close to finishing the 2nd episode.

Doom 2016 on the steam deck. Trying to learn how to aim with the trackpad and gyro after years of kb+m. Seems to be going okay so far.

I have been playing Tears of the Kingdom, but when my wife has been playing I have been switching in between Serious Sam 4 and the original Commander Keen.

Commander Keen takes a little to get used to the game feel and style, but I am actually enjoying it pretty well. You can feel a lot of what would go into id shooters. Mazelike levels with a series of key cards, but on a 2d platformer instead of a fps.

On the MMO side, Eve and FFXIV.

On the single player side, been playing some "Coffee Talk," "Live A Live," and "Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney" (via emulator), all on my Steam Deck.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Trying to finish up Tears of the Kingdom! Once I do that I'm planning to get back into Horizon Zero Dawn on my PC. I was enjoying it on my Steam Deck while out of the country, but got to a point where it would crash whenever I tried to load a save.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Been playing a lot of WoW recently, really loving all the content in Zandalar! Most fun I've had playing an MMO in a while.

On the single-player side of things, I played through Beasts of Maravilla Island! It's short, but sweet, and only $10 on Steam. It scratches the same itch as Pokémon Snap, and I've been desperate for new content like it since New Pokémon Snap isn't likely to get any new DLC... Ever.

I'm always playing Minecraft (anyone here looking to start a vanilla SMP?), but my brother just convinced me to buy this game called Mechabellum, which is a pretty cool mech-themed auto-battler. It's been quite a bit of fun figuring out unit combos and counters and everything.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

i'll start, i'm playing Devil May Cry 5, i wanted to see what all the fuss was about action/gameplay-wise before starting FF XVI in a few weeks time (which I'm extremely hyped for!).
i'm having a pretty great time with the game so far!

Terraria and Breath of the Wild. I wish I had played them sooner but I had never played the Zelda games before but now that I have gotten into it I have had LOTS of fun. As of Terraria, I have played it for a while but it hasn’t gotten old yet so I’m going to play as long as I feel like.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Same as every week, pinkie. Slay the Spire... I need to branch out.

I haven't seen anyone mention fighting games yet so I guess I'm going first. Will probably grind Guilty Gear Strive this weekend, as I don't have much free time for longer gaming sessions and every set is like 3-5 minutes each at most. I'll also try to get back into Dragon Age: Origins, if time permits.

Speaking of fighting games, I'm also interested in getting Street Fighter 6, as a friend I frequently play against got it, but I just can't justify paying 60€ for a game nowadays. I have so many other games on my backlog that I'd rather wait for a sale. But I played the open beta and really liked it a lot. The game feels more fluid than 5 and the new Drive mechanic feels way better than the previous V mechanic.

I just bought the BioShock collection for $10 on sale and I'm playing BioShock 1 for the first time. The game is a little outdated but the story so far is really interesting to me, I love the world building.

I recently finished Hardspace: Shipbreaker, which I quite enjoyed, even though dissecting the ships felt a bit tedious towards the end. Now I'm playing Warhammer 40k: Boltgun, and it's amazing if you're into dakka and bloody gore-explosions.

Replaying The Talos Principle in preparation for the second one coming out! I've finished playing through the base game this week, now I'm working on the DLC.

Firing up No Man's Sky for the first time on my M1 Mac. Looks nice. I really enjoyed Subnautica, so this promises to be good.

I've been playing GTA RP, RDR2 RP, and Terraria with Calamity and Thorium mod, although lately I've gotten Distracted with Stable Diffusion, so I haven't been playing much these last few days.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Mainly Path of Titans dino adventures with friends right now, though I do want to get back into the private investigations in Shadows of Doubt.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Death Stranding. Was sceptic for a long time, if the concept of the game is for me and motivating enough to keep me playing. Picked it up during a sale recently and really got hooked. With not much time to game it is nice to deliver a few packages and be able to quit again. Story is so cryptic that it feels like it does not matter if you forget something after a week long break and the atmosphere of the game feels really nice.

once my finals are done i'm taking a one and a half hour walk to the nearest videos game store and getting TOTK and that'll probably be me sorted for the rest of the month at least

[–] preussischblau 5 points 2 years ago

Finally playing Jedi Fallen Order so I can get around to Jedi Survivor, gives time for the latter to get its shit together as well.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Grid Legends (until I get all of the trophies) and Beat Saber (as long as my arms hold out)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I've been playing a bunch of MTG Arena and Tears of the Kingdom lately, and sometimes I hop onto Runescape. Maybe I should finally get around to using the gold I've been saving up to buy a bond
