Rules:
I like to mix things up, so I'm replaying Wolfenstein New Colossus on death incarnate difficulty, and sprinkling in Steve's Warehouse, Balatro and Hades for shorter sessions.
I'm waiting for a good sale to pick up Indiana Jones and will probably get Borderlands 4 sometime soon so hubs and I can play it together. I'm also considering a new playthrough of Cult of the Lamb now that the expansion has been announced.
Noita. Simple and clever.
And Rimworld.
i need a computer with s graphs card :(
How much money you got for computer? But also, there's plenty of games that don't need a card.
Graveyard Keeper. It's kinda like Stardew Valley but you maintain a graveyard, give sermons, enbalm bodies, make alchemy potions, raise the dead to perform menial, tasks, and grow crops!
My only complaint is that there's so many recipes and different stuff to do I need to have a couple tabs of the wiki open.
Macabre Stardew Valley is the game I didn't know I was looking for. Thanks!
Shadowrun for sega genesis
Can't stay away from Spelunky...
Gone back to working on Monster Hunter Rise with my son.
I finally started playing Stardew Valley more than 15 minutes in the dungeon every once in a blue moon and questioning why the fuck I never actually played it before in all this time (I have had it since first available on Steam). It's everything I've ever wanted in this kind of game since playing the first Harvest Moon.
Plus it has a mod that makes everyone furry. :3
You should check out !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works, I do a post like this every week and it tends to get decent interaction every time.
Nice, just subscribed!
Currently Vintage Story, BallisticNG and Deadlock. No one game is currently holding a monopoly on my attention. All very good games, but it does feel a bit like I'm just in a holding pattern waiting for Silksong. It was easier to wait without an official release date xD
I've been playing No Man's Sky lately. They just put out an update that let's you build a spaceship that also functions as a base. I'm only just now getting into the game and it came at a perfect time for me because I'm just now getting the point that I need a house to store stuff and I haven't found a planet that I love. Now I don't have to because I can live in a ship built just for me!
Just me and my antlered ewok exploring the black.
Me too! Just picked it up again this week after a five year hiatus. I started a new game and I'm at the part where I have to build a base, but I can't build a ship yet, I think. How did you get around that?
So you can buy a handful of the parts at any of the stations for big numbers, but I managed to make my ship by hunting down the golden buried tech. You get o one part for each module you have to break to mine them so you get a minimum of 3 and the loot it normally has which you can then flip for more parts.
Just to specify, that's the yellow wifi signal when you're using your visor. The ordinary and silver ones just give you the usual.
Thanks, I'll definitely try to mine for the parts then since I'm still completely broke
I found a planet the other day that was tiny and dangerous but had like 4 gold dig sites in every direction. I maxed out my ship limit there so if you can find that I'd you'll make both the money and the parts
Infra. You play as a structural analyst sent in to document damages on infrastructure that was being neglected due to a corrupt governor.
Technically a walking sim, but plenty of puzzles to solve and “mazes” to navigate. The game offers no minimap or objective list. No HUD whatsoever. It’s just you and one action button.
Each area is exquisitely detailed for being a 9-year-old game and visually holds up better than I expected. If you ever wanted to know what it was like to explore abandoned infrastructure, this one’s for you.
I tried it a while back and struggled to get into it. I wondered since if it was just not the right time though bc it looks so much like my kind of game. Might be worth dusting it off again to give it another go.
The biggest struggle I had at first was getting out of video game mode. With no objective trackers and maps being static on walls, it forced me to approach it differently. You have to rely far more on intuition than any other game I’ve played. You also have to pay attention to notes and general signage as it’s your only guide through a large portion of the game. Hopefully it clicks on your second go around. I wish there were more games like it.
The Finals - always
Slay the Spire
Coral Island
Very different vibes, all bangers
Clair Obscura, because I enjoy depression.
On continue.
I've been working through my endless backlog.
I finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It is a masterpiece.
I bought the Sniper Elite Humble Bundle that came with games 1 through 5. I have played through 1 to 4 already. It makes me miss games that can be finished in 20 hours instead of the endless grinds every game expects now. I also miss when Nazis were the evil bad guys.
I'm also playing through Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. This one is set in Hawaii which is a coincidence since I've also just finished Kitchen Sync: Aloha!, a cooking game set in Hawaii.
I'll start - was super into Cult of the Lamb until Nightreign came out and as a Fromsoft addict I haven't really played anything else since.
Recently picked up Enshrouded and giving that a go. Thinking of checking out the new update to No Man's Sky but haven't redownloaded it yet.
I was worried the first hour or two of Enshrouded I wouldn't like it, felt very similar to Ark and Grounded, which I wasn't much of a fan of due to the progression of those games moving at a snails pace and being brutalized by most enemies early on. But I'm happy to say I haven't felt the same disappointment from Enshrouded, sitting around 10-ish hours in. My character looks like a hobo dressed in whatever trash they could find hitting enemies with a crooked stick, but the combat feels pretty fun (instead of brutal) and there's interesting loot all over to keep the carrot and stick centers of my brain engaged. "Oh look, a slightly more interesting crooked stick!"
I like it so far.
I've got that on my list with my group! Do you think we'll like it if we liked 7 Days to Die and Valheim? Would love something in that style but still a little different than either of those.
I main The Witcher 3 at the moment, with Skellige mostly done. It took me 4 separate attempts to finally make it that far. The game has a fantastic narrative and the quests backstories are really engaging, with great music to set the mood. Absolutely everything else, from combat, exploration, traversal to upgrades, economy and even UX, is sub-par and a massive chore. I've made it this far this time around only because of some mods.
If I'm in the mood for something lighter I'm playing Super Video Golf. Awesome arcade game emulating the nostalgic feeling of similar games from the 90s.
I'm couch surfing rn and only have my laptop, so I can really only play Stardew Valley. I've been slowly changing production entirely over to ancient fruit from hops.
I wish could play Satisfactory tho. :{
Clone Hero! I missed how much fun Guitar Hero was
Hades 2 Death Stranding 2 Overwatch 2
And to keep with the theme, thinking about checking out Grounded 2 next week.
Previously was playing through all of Mech Warrior 5 Mercs. Lately though its been many hours on Mudrunners with the mods and DLC. Its a real challenge in some areas. Had to use the boom grappler extended to one side to stop truck tipping over around the side of the canted narrow mountain roads.
Oh I gotta boot up Mudrunners again, I was really surprised how much I enjoyed that one.
Yeah, its great. The soft ground physics still amazes me.
It took me time to get into it, and seemed a bit dull at first with the slow tasks you had to complete in the drab Russian colour scheme, but gets challenging as you progress, to where you get invested in the outcome.
Adding the American Truck DLC and adding new vehicles and Maps from the community (such as Autumn or Dangerous Roads) brightens the game up too.
Its probably my favourite game now since many of the tasks are actually hard and It ends up being a challenging mix of strategy, ingenuity, fuel management, carefully planned wheel placement, and some luck :)
I am taking a break from working on my Skyrim mod list to try getting into Baldur's Gate 3 for a third time.
My first attempt, I picked "tactician" difficulty, didn't make optimal choices for character build and party composition, and then quit at the end of act 2 when the fights got too hard. Then I tried honour mode, minmaxed everything, was getting by okay but quit in the middle of act two because playing that way was boring.
So now I'm playing at the default difficulty level, just relaxing and having fun like a normal person.
I've been replaying Final Fantasy 9, but this time on my phone with Duckstation and a BSP-D8 controller
I’ve been playing Against the Storm (just reforged the gold seal), 7 days to die, and lately Fields of Mistria. Occasionally I go back to Enshrouded, Palworld and Two Point Museum. And I still haven’t finished Baldurs Gate 3, every time I take a break, I have an urge to start anew instead of continuing an old save.
Grim dawn for nostalgia. Enjoying the new classes and dealing lightning, fire and ice damage.
