I'm still making my way through Tears of the Kingdom. I liked Breath of the Wild, but didn't love it. But the world feels much more alive in this new game. I'm at like 100 shrines completed and I've still only done one dungeon 😅
Yeah, I started the game and Tears of the Kingdom is much, much better than Breath of the Wild ever was.
But I'll continue to play till the end.
Doki Doki Literature Club, for my communist fanfic. I just hope I can still sleep at night when I'm done with it.

I'm currently bouncing between Elite Dangerous, Subnautica: Below Zero, and Monster Hunter Rise. I'll probably try SF6 soon, which will be my first fighting game.
It might be my own first fighting game too.
how are you enjoying ED? its been months since I played, I skyrocketed my earnings by mining, eventually got 3-4 imperial cutters when there was an event with a sale on all imperial ships, and then mainly did trading in VR.
I enjoy ED here and there. Now that I have a fleet carrier and most of the ships I want, it's more of a slow burn game for me that I play a little at a time. I usually explore when I'm playing more regularly, but lately I'm slogging through powerplay for exclusive parts.
It's a fun game, but the devs could do better at drawing players in and keeping their attentions. At least the flight mechanics feel amazing, because I'll take any excuse to keep doing that.
Boy Dyson Sphere Program has me sucked in. I'm on my second playthrough right now and inching towards getting purple cubes plugged in. I just got logistics building finally automated too.
I'm getting ready to start Cel 6 in Antimatter Dimensions as well but that game has sorts of taken a backseat.
I hear Dyson Sphere Program was also made by a Chinese studio. Pretty intriguing...
It is! And actually like half of the mod and blueprint content for the game is all in Chinese because I guess it's pretty big over there. There's even a channel on the discord for helping with translation errors.

Lately I've been playing Destiny 2 (of fucking course, I have over 2,400 hours in-game) and Gotham Knights.
On Gotham Knights, I'm grinding for Level 80 gear on Heroic Assault. And on Destiny 2, I'm completing seasonal challenges and experiencing the seasonal storyline. I really like Season of the Deep.
I'm really fucking ecstatic and beyond excited for multiple game announcements and reveals.
I pre-ordered the Collector's Edition of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and I'm hoping to be able to pre-order the Collector's Edition of the new upcoming Spider-Man 2 game.
I'm fucking stoked for Starfield, it looks way better than I expected. I'm getting Skyrim vibes, mixed with a bit of Fallout and Mass Effect. I didn't enjoy The Outer Worlds or No Man's Sky, but this looks like something phenomenally better.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora honestly looks pretty good, which was unexpected for me, if I'm being honest.
I can definitely understand people's complaints about Ubisoft games, but I feel like if any game was perfect for their formula, its Avatar. Even if its just Far Cry and Assassin's Creed on Pandora, I'm beyond excited.
Same!

I'm TRYING to play Tears of the Kingdom. But I got sucked back into the infinite time pit that is Oxygen Not Included. Does anyone else here play?

Oh boy. Firstly Pathfinder: WotR was awesome. Lately I've been on cozy/sim kicks for some reason. Lots of EA games too. I've played most of Travellers Rest (decent, EA), Sun Haven (awesome, complete), Roots of Pacha (cool/different, complete). Waiting on some updates for The Ranchers (kickstarter - EA soon). Also played some tech tests for Palia (Cozy MMO? NDA active!) For strategy/4x games, I put some time into Spellforce, Against the Storm, Age of Wonder 4, and fired up Thea 2 again. All solid games. When I want to suck at games I hit Noble Fates, Dwarf Fortress, Necesse. If I want to be a rock star I fire up Vampire Survivors, or the EA for Starship Troopers. However, the other day I picked up Diablo 4, all seventy fucking dollars of it, because some friends from across the country were digging it, and now I'm level 30+ already because games are addicting.
The struggle though - Startfield and Baldur's Gate 3 coming out within like a week of each other (or a day if you preorder). Fortunately at least Starfield is going to be on Xbox PC Game Pass, so I won't have to shell out for it until it's on sale and I want to play through it again with a whole new set of untagged achievements on steam. Like I did when I completed Skyrim, and got the special edition as a separate install for a fresh set of cheevos. Ugh.
Great time to be a gamer, but not enough time to be a gamer. :)

I need to get back to games I started recently like Boltgun, Terra Nil, but my time is limited. Hearthstone battlegrounds is my "I finally have a min" game or "the kids are in bed and I'm finally watching TV but need to feed my ADHD" game lol. I'm into the current battlegrounds update, I'm interested to see what the new patch has for changes.
Terra Nil is super chill if you're looking for something to pass the time with.
I love the look and feel it 40K: Boltgun, little hard to play on the steam deck but it's just a learning curve I think.

ToTK almost done! Just switched to playing on Linux Mint (Yuzu) and it even runs smoother than Windows! I might not finish though, I feel like I played my fill.
And I'm playing Citizen Sleeper. It was in a top 10 games of 2022 list on a podcast I like and it's great but there is a lot of reading.
I played the new SpongeBob, Cosmic Shake earlier. It's a worthy successor to the series.
And I played Cassette Beasts, great spin on monster collecting which is on game pass, steam, xbox, and switch.
As far as summer games fest, I'm excited for "Stray Gods: the role playing musical." "Beastieball" and "Despelote" look great too. Despelote was described by the creator as "like a half-remembered part of his childhood" when Ecuador was first allowed to compete in the (Football) World Cup.
My wish list has gotten massive between the Wholesome Direct, Devolver Direct, and the Intel Next show.

I just recently got back from vacation so I missed the release of Street Fighter 6 but have been playing that now and it's really fun. Might be the best Street Fighter game on release (SFV was terrible on release) with tons of content, the characters are well made and I like that they added a different control scheme (called modern) that makes it a bit easier for people new to fighting games to play it.
Other than that, I got back into playing Dead by Daylight with friends, we usually take a couple months break and come back to it when there's new content.
Playing a bit of CoD World at War. This is my absolute favorite CoD. You get to mow down Nazi bastards by the hundreds, even the American storyline is at least killing Japanese Fascists. Finally a CoD game that doesn’t glorify Imperialism🙏🥹. I also play UFC 4 because I love to box, also finishing Mass Effect 2, gonna head to Mass Effect 3. Lastly, I’m playing Fallout New Vegas and am kinda bored w the Big MT DLC, idk when I’ll get back to it but I have a lvl 24 Unarmed Caesar’s Legion playthrough that is really good(I have a 9 luck, so casinos are an easy payday)
CoD World at War was the best one; I played it myself.
Slay the Spire has been one of my favorites for years, and recently I've been using the "Spire with Friends" mod. It allows up to 6 players to link up their runs to try to win. The added Courier map location is what pulls it all together, allowing you to spend gold to send cards and relics to your teammates.
In a normal Spire run, most of your gold is probably being used to remove your basics in shops. In a multiplayer run, there is a larger incentive to hold off on doing so, since a well timed delivery can save another player from certain death.
I should try that one; it's gotten quite the reputation over the years.

I need to get back into Hunt the Night, except now I'm about to replay X-COM 2 a little when I get around to it. I also been doing some small stuff in Guild Wars 2. I also was also having fun with Pillars of Eternity. I kind of just jump all over the place.

I'm balls deep into Tears of the Kingdom right now, but also taking breaks by getting back into New Pokemon Snap. I'm a little disappointed in myself im not actively playing any retro games.

I'm still in the hell that is FFXIV. :P
Really enjoyed the last patch, the Trial fight was pretty good and I adored how they wrapped up the Normal raid series for this expansion.

I've been playing Diablo 4. Pretty fun so far, but an arpg can only innovate so much.
