I’m currently building a massive irrigation system in Timberborn and also running through BOTW again before unwrapping TOTK.

I’m pleased that there’s not so much TOTK stuff floating about here as there was on the other place, I want to go in as innocent as a newborn lamb.

The thing about getting into game dev as a hobby is that basically now you have no time to actually play other games! 😭

When I do get time, Deep Rock Galactic is a fave for those days when you just want to shoot something in the face but you don't want to do it surrounded by aggressively sexist 12 year old boys. A new season just dropped this week, which makes it sound like a typical money-hungry microtransactional mess but I swear it's not like that at all, the devs are great people and everyone should give this one a go. ROCK AND STONE!

More chill days I like to investigate the unending backlog of cozy indie games from Epic (never touched them until I got a Steam Deck but it's been great for those). Or revisit Mini Metro which on the surface is a simple af puzzle game but it's surprisingly immersive and deep.

Of course it's Steam Next Fest atm, I've only tried a couple of demos so far (Station to Station and Laysara: Summit Kingdom) but was thoroughly underwhelmed by both of them. On the other hand my husband tried the demo of Memori and got super into it, he says anyone who liked Celeste should give it a try.

Also last mention goes to Outer Wilds, I'm not "playing" it as such because it's pretty one-and-done, but it's impossible not to recommend it whenever even a slightly appropriate opportunity allows. One of the most amazingly crafted and emotionally impactful games I've played in my 30-odd years of gaming and if you've never tried it, please just trust me and go in blind it is so worth it.

Right now I have Final Fantasy XIV running in the background, I'm waiting for some ore to respawn at roughly 10:42 our time. Gathering's a nice laid back experience.

After I'm done with this I'm probably gonna boot up Story Of Seasons: Pioneers Of Olive Town and do some gathering in that too. :)

I try to fit in a few minutes of Quake III most days.

I was very lucky to be gifted Tears of The Kingdom on release, been playing that for the past month, amazing game.

Been playing TOTK (surprise, surprise), and after my exams are done I'm gonna get stuck into Persona 4 Golden.

Hell Let Loose WW2 shooter. It has a great in-game community, and they just released the British faction too (which is a bit rough around the edges right now, admittedly).

TFT, enjoying new set 9

Currently playing Breath of the Wild and trying to complete it so I can start playing TOTK.

i feel like i got into gta online at the worst possible time regarding the recent mercenaries update

I always come back to two games. Divinity: Original Sin 2 and Minecraft. But I really miss Minecraft from the alpha and beta days when it was simple. D:OS2 is possibly the best story driven, turn based RGP I've ever played - any recs for something similar? Over winter I tried to get into Hogwarts Legacy but I couldn't find the motivation to progress despite growing up with and loving HP. On mobile I play Sky: Children of the Light pretty much daily and have done for almost 3 years now. Looking forward to PC release for that which was announced not long ago.

In the short moments I've had for gaming, I've finished the main story in Saints Row (the rebooted one). It was OK, reasonably fun and definitely worth the £12 or so I paid on ebay. Not sure what's next, maybe finish my second run of Horizon Zero Dawn.

Starcraft and KatanaZero. Can't beat those two.

The forever constant is Rocket League, but I've started Witcher 3 back up on my switch.

Tried to pick up a discounted copy off steam for cloud save .. but learned that feature is broken. So I refunded and picked it up on GOG.. and learned it's also broken.

Really brought me back to when I played PC games more and how absolutely infuriating it is when something doesn't work and you try to troubleshoot it. Nowadays there are countless sites where people respond with, "it works on my machine" as a solution. What an age we live in.

I've been getting back into World of Warcraft the past few weeks. Really enjoying playing solo and just levelling alts instead of the almost second job level of commitment that I used to have when raiding years ago.

Been eyeing that Battlebits Remastered on steam as well - might pick that up as it looks chaotic fun.

Cassette Beasts (really good if you love Pokemon but are bored of Pokemon and want something a bit different)
Chivalry 2 (mindless stabby fun, but I've gotten to a point where I'm good enough to know I suck but too old and busy to get better)
Runescape (never played as a kid, my friends got me into it earlier this year then they stopped playing lol)
I wish Diablo and Zelda were my answers.

Been going back to classics (thanks virtual consoles), currently doing the lost super Mario bros 3 card levels.

currently working my way through all of kingdom hearts. as a teen i played everything up until dream drop distance and i was a massive fan but that waned over time. i got both 1.5 + 2.5 and 2.8 and i'm working through everything again as a lore refresher before i tackle 3.

Friend put me onto Control. Picked it up at discount and enjoying it so far.

Finished up TOTK a while ago, playing Xenoblade Chronicles X currently. I plan to get the new Katamari Remake soon too.

Timberborn is life..... NO!!! MY BEAVERSS!!!

Aliens: Dark Descent. It's way better than I expected, not just in the gameplay but nailing the vibe of the movie. Fireteam Elite was a fun wave shooter but it turned the xenomorphs into cannon fodder for an action shoot-em-up. Dark Descent is survival horror. Fighting is a last resort. You spend your time creeping down dark corridors hoping you don't see a xeno, because when you do the hive wakes up and bad things happen. Like in Alien Isolation, your best bet is to watch your tracker and be where the xenomorphs aren't. Your marines can get wounded, killed, or dragged off to be an incubator. They also suffer stress, and start to freak out the longer they are in danger.

Really enjoying it so far!

@sideone, this is which I most play since several Years. 100% free, Windows, Linux, Mac, one of the best free games ever.

Currently going through Prey which I'm really enjoying so far. Also making incremental progress on Elden Ring, currently stuck on Rykard.

BattleBit has become my current obsession. Feels just like playing Battlefield 3 back in the day once you get past the Roblox-esque graphics. Honestly when I'm not playing it I'm thinking about playing it.

I'm putting my earphones in to avoid the unbelievably loud whirring of my PS4, and playing Wreckfest and Mordheim single player for the eight millionth hour just to kill time between working, and working some more.

Age of wonders 3, I'd like to finish it before age of wonders 4 goes on sale.

Satisfactory, restarted for the 4th time, this time in the desert, I've never made it much past oil, but I've gotten really good at getting to oil! This time I'm using platforms everywhere, and it's making traveling/exploring so much easier, but I feel like it's also taken a lot of wonder out of exploration.

Path of exile is always in the background, waiting for me to come back to it. I'm super excited to see what exile con brings.

Playing them all on the deck with Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. The deck has also made other games so much more accessible, skul the hero slayer, dead cells, and hollow Knight I've put more time into than ever on the computer/console.

Don't get as much time as I would like (who does?) But mostly Dwarf Fortress having finished a portal play through.

I'm looking at Deep Rock Galactic to play with my boys as I've got them to promise we will only play together! We all played Valorant for a bit but they can put about 10 times the hours in that I can so they outstripped me long ago!
