Still trucking away at Tears of the Kingdom. Looking forward to Final Fantasy XVI in a few days! The demo was amazing.

It's a pity that they aren't releasing on PC right away.
After much fun with World of Tanks, I discovered World of Warships for me this week. In which I have quite a bit more luck than with the tanks I must say. Not once have I been blind-spotted and then fired upon by 5 enemies I couldn't even see yet
Also I tried MotoGP 23 but for the life of me, I can't get that bike to stay within the track limits. Most laps are relatively fine otherwise but these track limits keep invalidating my time.
Im actually into Rainbow Six again and i love it. Its been years but this is my favourite shooter.
I'm playing Pokémon Yellow on my SteamDeck (via RetroArch). The childhood nostalgia I'm experiencing is heart-warming. :)
I've been playing The Division 2 and I'm really enjoying it. I stopped playing for a few years, and now I've managed to stop the game crashing every 5 minutes, it's really good fun.
I'm playing with a friend currently, and it's a lot of fun.
We are close to finishing the base game and only just now gotten to content, that isn't mind-numbingly easy though (around World Tier 3+ did we have to start paying attention), so it just takes a bit too long for my tastes.
FF Pixel Remaster marathon by day, Amnesia: The Bunker by night. The latter is a must play for survival horror fans, Frictional nailed it.
I'm waiting for those FF Remasters to go on a decent sale. I played one of the 3D remakes on DS (FF3 I think) and the old FF6 release on Steam, but I want to give the others a shot as well and prefer the pixel look massively.
I'm going through the Street Figher 6 World Tour Mode and am near the end I think. No idea how much I'll play it afterward. Maybe I'll try out some stuff in the Battle Hub, like the Arcade Mode or the different training modes, to actually learn some stuff.
Forgive Me Father. I rarely play shooters these days but this one is a quite pleasant for short sessions so far with just a tad of old doom-like tactics, but more streamlined, and has nice aesthetics too
I played this recently, but I wasn't a fan of the style at all. It still played well, and I finished it, but I could have done with a shorter game.
Today I will do some Arma3 Mission with 2 buddys of mine.
Over the weekend I got back into the groove of MH:Rise on the Switch, so I will do some farming.
Age of Empires 2 DE. That is my go to game and I currently play through all the campaigns. There are so many, it is great!
:o I've always played these games in multiplayer. Maybe I ought to give the singleplayer a go some time too!
Totally worth it imo. Not joking, there are hundreds of hours single player campaigns to be played and they tell interesting stories.
New Deep Rock Galactic season just dropped. Also I still have a lot to do in Tears of the Kingdom.
The new Season of Deep Rock Galactic. I don't really like this seasons weapon frameworks, but there's still some cool cosmetics to unlock. Like a plague doctor mask with a fancy hat. :3
^^*shpelling^^
Rock and stone!
Beyond All Reason (free and oss RTS)
I've never heard of that one. It looks really cool though! Kind of inspired by planetary annihilation?
Almost done with Dungeons 3. Really fun little game that was free on Epic the other week.
Also, I finally managed to get War Thunder working with HOTAS and Quest 2. That is pretty amazing. For the first time the climb phase a the beginning of a realistic battle is really enjoyable and not just an extension of the loading screen.
I've been playing Prey. It runs great on Steam Deck and is a lot of fun overall. That and No Man's Sky are my games of the summer so far
There's a native stand-alone port of Prey (2006) for the Quest 2. I gotta try that some time. I did try the Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast port and it was amazing.
Nothing really, unfortunately. Life has been busy lately and, with kids, gaming is almost nonexistent.
This weekend my wife and kids will be out of town for five days and I’m honestly contemplating buying either Tears of the Kingdom or Diablo IV and just going to town on one of those all weekend…
Solution: Get the wife and kids into gaming ;)
I got a bunch of 2DS/3DS on the cheap for the whole family, put CFW on it and now we are all playing Pokemon and Mario Kart. Including my formerly decidedly non-gamer wife.
Do it! Have some fun! Order a Pizza and get yourself something nice to drink. Wear your most comfortable shorts and relax!
On the weekend I was playing Cross Code but I put that aside for my vacation.
I don't have much time after work at the moment, so I found a really strange game called Sally can't sleep. Digging the atmosphere. Gameplay is a bit wonky and frustrating but I love just to roam around. But I can imagine that it's too strange for most people.
Squad for the new combat overhaul and battlebit remastered
It's been a few patches since last, and Update 8 is live on the Experimental Branch, so I started a new save of Satisfactory.
Never managed to get far in previous runs, because I tended to think complicated instead of thinking big, so have a new strategy this time. When I need modular frames, I find a fresh set of iron nodes and dedicate the entire output of those to modular frames. Things are more spread out, but collecting resources is an uncomplicated problem to solve.
So far I'm optimistic - feeling less overwhelmed.
I've been waiting on Satisfactory until it's out of early access. Should I continue to wait or is it good now?
Probably more Elden Ring and iRacing. Need to progress with my second character in ER and do more sprint races in iRacing, I have been doing long races almost exclusively for the past months.
I play ALOT of RimWorld lately.
