Absolutely nothing!
I fully intend not to see a computer screen between the minute I log off from work, though to the minute I’m dragged kicking and screaming back to work.
Sorry for the contrarian post, for what it’s worth, I am looking forward to breaking back into Snowrunner once I get back to it in January.
I will downvote you 
Joking. Enjoy your time off 
I started Control a couple of days ago and so far it's a blast, so I'll be playing that. I didn't expect to like it so much out of the gate, also didn't know it has such big SCP vibes. I decided to give it a go after the sequel's trailer on TGA.
I'll also be replaying Portal. I would've started Portal 2 which I haven't played outside multiplayer, but I'm using it to learn Gyro + Flick Stick so I can play shooters on my PS5 since almost no multiplayer shooter supports Linux and I got the itch to play one again lol.
Oh yeah the SCP setting was a major appeal for me in Control. I still havent gotten around to play it XD
I just started that last week after sitting on it since release day. Good vibes, makes me actually interested in trying out the Allen Wake games.
I didn't even know the Alan Wake games were made by Remedy when I first opened Control lol, I only found out about that because there's an ad for Alan Wake 2 on Control's title screen, but after I started the game I immediately become interested in trying the Alan Wake series too.
I made a big mistake. I pressed 'Download' when I saw Warframe on Steam.
After +5 years without using this drug I have already played +16hr this week.
Before this mistake my plan was to continue my Terraria + Calamity playthrough, but I don't think that's going to happen.
Was it because of the Werner Herzog-voiced commercial during the Game Awards?
I could say that or I could say the truth that I saw a gothicc nun in the game.
i hate that DE did this because i can't play a single mission at normal speed anymore, there's always 1-3 wisps putting their meme strength motes in doorways
I started from scratch, when I decide to stop playing a game I normally burn the bridge and delete/don't save the account. Because of that I only encountered 1 wisp and they didn't even have the skin.
I am going to work hard so that I can leave the country :)
... warhammer 3. It's the only game I play.
Perhaps I will boot up Darktide or Rivals, stare at the menu, then go back to warhammer 3. It's the holidays after all.
i think i've honestly just stopped gaming, i just mod a game and then i move to the next one, i have three games fully modded and working with hundreds of mods but i just....don't want to play them 
i dunno i'll probably mod Cyberpunk and see if I can play that. Do a little 5 year nostalgia tour
Got addicted to F1 2025 cos I’m literally max verstappen
Tu-tu-du-du Max Verstappen
Actually you need to play iRacing on at least three alt accounts for the true Max experience.
Asseto Corsa nordschliffe in the rain at night in VR with a force feedback wheel is amazing..
I'm thinking 4 to 8 matches of Deadlock per day
That valve shooter right ? What is the closest I can think of it as ? More like Valorant ? Or maybe Overwatch ?
On a line from Overwatch to Dota 2, it's like 65 % of the way towards Dota, tragically
going to visit my niece n nephews soon so imma probably fail the 'try not to hate roblox loudly' game i always play with them
I've been on the Path of Exile 2 grind a bit. I want to see if I can progress my character a bit more, currently I have him at level 89, all my ascendancy points earned, and steadily doing t14/t15 maps. I tried to kill the highest tier of the Ritual boss and failed, which is frustrating because I failed that fight 3 times on my last character, too. The game's progression feels very strange because you'll be getting upgrades for your gear at a decent pace until you reach t10+ maps, then getting upgrades gets dramatically harder and getting money becomes a chicken and egg situation (gotta run hard content to get money and upgrade gear, but can't really run it until you have better gear).
Otherwise, I'm planning to play Dyson Sphere Program and see if I can get to the late-late game there. You can beat the game by producing a couple thousand white science, but you can also keep going and treat it as a sandbox. When they added combat with the Darkfog update they also added some higher tiers of each production building that are significantly faster, but require materials from high level Darkfog units. This means that if you want to build the most efficient factories, you gotta set up a system to spawn and kill large amounts of enemies and level them up. This is a pretty fun challenge because, unlike most things in the game, there are lasting consequences if you fail to supply enough materials (i.e. ammo, energy, and drones if you're using them) to the killing fields.
Quit scraeming "cap your fire and cold resistances and anoint something" at my house cowards. I will never fix my build.
Im not entirely sure what Im going to play just yet, but I think I will start a game of Victoria 3 (an economy-focused grand strategy game) and see if I can get back into it.
I also want to spend more time with the post-apocalyptic 4X game Zephon, from the developers of 40K Gladius. Gladius was a bit of a favorite of mine. It had tons of DLC and was really fun in multiplayer. Stay with me here, it played almost like a turn-based RTS. As weird as that sounds, it worked really well. It was a 4X with a heavy focus on warfare. That was basically all you did. In that sense, it had some of the spirit of games like Advance Wars just with a metric fuckton more unit variety and very distinct factions.
EDIT: I just realized I havent really explained Zephon itself. The game is actually pretty interesting. The production values are a whole level above Gladius. Graphics, sound, and writing are all improved. Units even have voice responses when you click on them similar to an RTS. Its still very combat focused but other than in Gladius there is actually diplomacy.
There are basically two major factions you can align with. Aliens and a Skynet-style super AI called Zephon. The cool part is the endgame scenario where the aliens and Zephon go to war against each other. You can side with one of them or try to go your own way, which is the hardest option since you end up fighting both.
I saw CrossCode was on sale for $6 on the switch. Might grab it if it's worth it. I usually really enjoy games like that. Last game I played that was "similar" was Sea of Stars which was kinda disappointing, but I've seen a lot of love for CC here so imma give it a try.
Im playing eu5 and tainted grail fall of avalon which is basically if a Polish studio made an Elder Scrolls game in a grimdark setting with the trappings of Arthurian legends
I kinda like it because it doesn't have any of the level scaling bullshit from modern elder scrolls, so like, it feels rewarding to explore and figure out ways to beat enemies that are way higher level than me
Eu5 is pretty cool but I think the game is just really fucking broken right now. Like I'm Portugal, it's 1470, I'm making money hand over dick with Leon, Sevilla and Granada as vassals or fiefdoms, but the fucking Diplomatic Capacity shit doesn't make any fucking sense, it just keeps ballooning up for Sevilla and Granada, partially as a result of some fucking strength calculation, so Im wasting a shitload of money having to max out my diplomacy spending
the strength calculation is what I think is absolutely fucking shit broken, because I keep building up my fucking army and it never seems to decline, I have 7k professional soldiers which is more than fucking Granada has in levies and it's still giving me a negative malus on the strength comparison
So I GUESS it's all based on size, population and tax base or something and all my fucking military spending does nothing? I dunno. They're my only vassal, the other two are fiefdoms
someone on here mentioned quasimorph and i am absolutely submerged
It was me!! Glad you are enjoying it! It's a cruel little gem.
its good, id thank you but id be like thanking you for punching me in the nuts over and over again lmao
Doing factorio space exploration mod again. No chance I finish it (again) but by golly I'm gonna try
I think I'm gonna snag Hades II on sale. I had a great time replaying the first one a few months ago on my steam deck and getting the last few cheevos I needed for 100%. Think I'll play it on my desktop though so I can appreciate the art on a bigger screen.
Also hoping to get back into some modded Minecraft. I've been playing Cuboid Outpost 1.20 off (played the original a year or two ago, great pack) and on but it's hard to focus when each session is kinda short so not progressing as fast as I want to. Then maybe Stoneblock 4? I really like the idea of upgrading a big central machine
Working my way through metaphor refantazio. And decompressing from work and family holiday stress with power wash simulator 2.
Had planned on making a solid dent in Hollow Knight, but so far it's been just wall-to-wall Lego: Incredibles. Having kids is fun. :P
Might try to actually learn Vicky 3 or dwarf fortress for the 10000th time
Fucken Sword of the Sea is first on the list and I am finishing it. Shit is a work of art. Then the rest is alotted to friendslop games like Content Warning
Phantom Brigade, the turn-based mech tactics game, had a huge update a week or so ago that I've been meaning to play.
But I also have a huge library book I gotta get through before it's due back.
finally gotten into black ops 3 zombies so probably gonna play a lot of that. Also need to check out the new EU5 patch
Triangle startegy i read good things about it plus that its kinda like fire emblem and Breath of the wild 2 since i liked the first one , i had them for a while but i havent had the time to play them
I have been thinking of that earlier actually, any recommendations comrades?
I was thinking of finally playing Skyrim and seeing what the fuss is about, or do ab elden ring seamless coop playthrough with friends. I am not sure
