Games

EU5 has been my sole game for over a month now. It needs some work, and I don't love paradox, and I think think the game is too much of a cookie-clicker reskin... but it's scratching that grand strategy itch.

I've also been on turtle-wow (private vanilla+) which has really been recapturing the spirit of 2004-08 wow for 7(?) years now.

Started and beat öoo, such a fun and interesting game, played 1 round of blue prince, and I'm not sure I have the time to invest in it, and I'm working on beating Eiyudean Chronicle Rising before playing the main game.

I've been playing through the Halo series again

Megabonk.

Intravenous 1.

No third game. (This could be the name of a game, but sadly I'm referring to the fact that I only played those first two games during the holidays)

No break for me but I've been doing "old dog, new tricks" by picking up some SMW Kaizo. I'm four exits out of seven in Shell's Retriever so far. I think I'm doing fair for only being a couple weeks into playing romhacks and for last playing SMW in the 90s. I don't think I'll ever get around to "Baron of Shell" or any other crazy hard hacks but it has been fun working on a few of the "easy" ones.

I'll probably get back to Factorio after I finish Retriever. Possibly not until after the sequel, Shell's Redeemer, but I've previewed it and it looks substantially tougher.

Bitcraft Online, Outer Worlds 2 and Palia. im in my cosy crafty era lol

Alan Wake Remastered, Alan Wake 2, and Like a Dragon: The Man Who Erased His Name.

Ultimate chicken horse with the GF BF6/HD2 with the boys Slay the Spire when I have nothing I wanna do

In order of most played recently to least played recently:

GTAV

Dark Souls Remastered

WWE 2k25

I completed Anomaly in Rimworld. My opinion is that it was awesome. I'm playing at the 3rd easiest setting, so it didn't sting too much.

Shooting shapes in Sektori, a stunningly good arcade twin-stick, bashing dragon toes and playing bells in Guild Wars 2, a fun ARPG-MMO where we recently added a few more dress-up dolls to our roster just because we play a lot and like a few more ways to play, and third, mowing down hallways full of bugs in Combat Complex, a top-down shooter ARPG that's weak on the ARPG aspects but the shooter side manages to feel like a great arcade twin-stick, plus some neat enemy-enemy friendly-fire mechanics.

Much more the first two than the third, as CC is good but it's in early access and they recently changed and botched the progression, so playing right now at my level/floor is basically worthless, and I just have to hope they eventually do something to fix it.

Sektori, though, is seriously good.

I’ve been hung up on Unnamed Space Idle for a while, an incremental game that involves moving your little ship forwards through little sectors watching it blast infinite enemy ships while numbers go up. It’s insidious how it layers system after system for making those numbers go up to make the whole process interesting. At first you just slot stuff in as it unlocks because there’s space, but then there’s more to equip than you have slots for and you have to start focusing one or two things at a time. There have been days where I have just sat watching and every few minutes clicking something to shave just a few minutes off a major upgrade.

I finished NecroVision the other day, and I really enjoyed the mid-game part, but endgame is kinda tiring with endless barrage of enemies spawning... currently playing Rogue Trooper and I just unlocked the upgrades so the game got interesting

Luanti, voxelibre

Cs2

Motortown

Such fun!
