Right now I’m playing mostly Surviving Mars, which is not the best basebuilder game in the world. But I find it relaxing. It also reinforces my belief that I don’t wanna live on Mars.
I’m also playing Star Traders: Frontiers. It’s a pretty good game. You fly around, trade, fight, do missions, and try not to die. At anything but the lowest difficulties, the last part is a real big ask.

Lately I’m playing “How to Break Things with Programming”, with the occasional jaunt into FF7R since I don’t own a PS5 and just recently acquired it from its release on Steam. I flirt with FF14 but I’ve grown a bit apathetic about it for some reason. I’m not sure why; I think I’ve changed to care mostly about the story progression, or I’ve burnt out on the gameplay loop. I don’t really know, but there you have it.

No Man’s Sky just released another update. This one (and the accompanying expedition) look pretty nifty.
-
There’s a few games that I seem to keep on regular rotation:
- Conan
- 7D2D
- Ark
- No Man’s Sky
- Cyberpunk 2077
- Subsistence
- V Rising
- Valheim
I’ve also had my eye on Stray because, well. Cats.
-
i picked up stray IMMEDIATELY and i’m probably gonna start streaming it TONIGHT in fact
because i’m excited about KIBBY

@Roz Meowmi!

i am trying to replay through the Fable games. after playing Fable I and liking it just as much as I remember, i am trying to play through Fable II, and i just-- find it so clunky? and boring?
-
Update: I bought Stray. I do not regret this choice.
-
Stray is so good! I love it!

I’ve been meaning to get back into FFXIV, but have been laaaaazy. I got Ark 1 during the mega sale, but haven’t even tried to load it, worried my computer will just melt. So what am I actually playing? I bounce back and forth between a few different games, with varying levels of ‘oh God, I sat down 14 hours ago to start playing, where did the time go?!?’:
Horizon: Zero Dawn (Yes, I still hunt the robots. MU when?)
FF7R (Keeps me in a semi-Exalted, semi-Shadowrun vibe!)
Rimworld (MOSTLY with the mods that turn it into The Martian, adding atmos and water)
Space Engineers (SPAAAAACESHIPS (and rovers, and stations)
Stationeers (More IN DEPTH space station building)
Timberborn (Civilization, but with Beavers)And some other games I haven’t played in an even longer while than FFXIV. Valheim. 7D2D. Elite Dangerous (May never go back, after disappointing space legs, we’ll see)
Mummy Pun? MUMMY PUN!

Stray made me an emotional wreck, I love that little cat. Every time I think about that little cat, I cry again. Named them Howard.
I want to help every cat in the world.

Hi folks! Breaking my lurker silence to highly recommend Outer Wilds. It’s difficult to describe, but is primarily focused on exploration, investigation/puzzle solving and is story driven. If you do end up giving it a shot, I strongly suggest not looking up detailed reviews, synopses or spoilers. It’s way more fun to experience with no knowledge going in.

Been playing Star Wars: The Old Republic ever since FFXIV glitched and won’t sync with my two step verification passcode (rude much?)
Surprisingly a lot of decent changes at least on the subscriber level. Having a lot of fun playing storylines I hadn’t gotten around to before. I literally have played through Sith Inquisitor storyline at least half a dozen times.
-
Hey, I play that off and on. If you haven’t done Imperial Agent, do it, and play a Chiss.
It gets a couple extra lines of dialogue here and there, but don’t ask me to remember what they are. Some of them don’t come up until KOTEE stuff tho.guess I know what I’m doing this weekend.

@IoleRae I’ve heard nothing but good things about Imperial Agent but haven’t gotten around to it yet
Currently playing through Sith Warrior and Bounty Hunter -
Sith Warrior is my favorite, but IA class story is the best story in the game, there’s just no quality comparison. It really is that good.

@IoleRae One of my favorite thing about the changes, is I can play IA using any of the smuggler, trooper, bounty hunter, or imperial agent power sets.
