I picked up Xcom 2 War of the Chosen after walking away for 2 years. Loaded it up and remembered why, half my squad severely wounded and surrounded. Knuckled down and got everyone out alive. Don't name your soldiers after your friends.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

C&C: Tiberian Sun. Damn, that game still looks great.
Me too! So stoked to be playing it again.
One tip for the final Nod mission I would have wanted to know before playing it - the game tells you that you have time until the GDI station makes three orbits and then gives you an hour timer. I was running out of time and made a despearate push for the final objective with just seconds remaining and then... another hour timer started. You have 3 hours to beat that map, I thought it was just the one =/
It's the finale where you have all the toys and get to play with the enemy in any way you want. Don't make the same mistake as me and rush through it, you can take your time.
Oh wow, thank you for the tip! Knowing that will make my playthrough more enjoyable ♥️
Starfield and Lego Skywalker Saga
Startet The Witcher last week, the controls aren't as wonky as i remembered.
Picked up elden ring on sale three weeks ago, and already have 90 hourd in it, and I'm on my second run. First was a strength build, and now a dex/arcane bleed build!
There was a sorcerer build in between those two, but it trivialised my favourite part of the game so I stopped it
Picked up my "new" 2ds xl and been playing the heck outta smash 4 3ds and earthbound.
Zenless Zone Zero. Can't stop playing it. Combats fun. Story is pretty good.
Heroes of Hammerwatch
I got Far Cry 5 for like $7.50 on sale and have been playing it with a friend, and it's actually been pretty fun, mostly driving around blowing stuff up with a rocket launcher.
I also got Doom Eternal, which has been more interesting than I expected; I thought it would be mostly just hold-left-click kind of gameplay, but you actually really need to think about managing ammo and positioning and cooldowns and tons of stuff like that. I feel really bad at it but it's been lots of fun.
I've mostly just been watching videos of things like fireworks instead recently.
EVE!

I've been playing Forza horizon 4, Euro Truck Sim 2, and ESO. And a little Switch emulation.
I completed Broforce, and it took me 13 hours. It’s a funny and gory game.
I am playing Doom Eternal. It’s a gory and cruel, raging game. The atmosphere is really vivid and cool, the hell scenes and the Cthulhu art are amazing. Masterpiece!
I’m also playing Retrowave as a BGM player. It’s a purely casual and relaxing mini game, and it creates an '80s retro atmosphere. I like it and I really love the synthwave genre.
I’m still playing Cyberpunk 2077, just drive my motorcycle and explore casually. I think everyone knows everything about this game. So I won’t introduce it.
I got very high with a couple of friends and we played the party mode of flatout ultimate edition.
When alone with my daughter, we tend to play Goat Simulator 3. When completely alone I play some Bro Force or Binding of Isaac.
I've started Celeste last week and damn that game get difficult quick (at least if you try to get all the strawberries^^). Also the Pico8 version is a whole other beast o.O
Also the usual TF2 for me, which now miraculously works on Linux again…
I haven't played this week, but I've been playing Crusader Kings 3 for a few weeks now, and it's really cool.
Crusader Kings 3
Foxhole. War 115.
Just wish I had a good team to play with.
