Gaming

Just now getting to the Lego Batman series.

ESO, picked it up because it was free and I have some friends who play it. The difficulty spike from literally anywhere else in the world and the imperial city is nuts, kind of wish every zone was this tough. I could do without the PvP though, I got floored pretty much any time another player showed up. Worth it for those extra skill points though.

X4 foundations with the boron dlc. I start and stop this one a lot. I've played hundreds of hours in this game and still feel like I have no idea what I'm doing.

Started and completed 'Viewfinder' over the last few days. It's a little puzzle game where you have to play around with a camera and toy with angles to solve puzzles. Little Portal, little Witness, and a lot of fun.

Picked up a long-running Paradox mega campaign with two friends again. We're most of the way through EU4 now, having started in 769 in CK2

Battlebit Remastered and MWII when my friends have been online

I really want to keep playing Satisfactory, we had just automated computers and aluminum, so I’d really like to build a huge train system and push into the endgame.

Breathedge.

It has a quirky sense of humor that I enjoy, but even if you don’t I think it does a great job exemplifying the solo space base-building, survival, and mystery genres.

Picked up Snow Runner year one. I'm having a blast with it. It's giving me something to work on that I can take my time with.

Lately, it's been MechWarrior Online. It scratches the "Blow up stompy robots" itch.

I managed to get myself back into Snowrunner this weekend following the Season 10 release. Honestly it's my favorite expansion so far for two simple reasons: the second map has a garage, and all the warehouses (so far) have unlimited quantities of materials, instead of the limited set that has been the norm through most of Years 1, 2, and 3 (so far).

Otherwise, just grinding away on the OSRS group ironman as usual!

The blaster Master zero series is my new flavor. It's nostalgic and innovative all at once.

Sorta weened off of Dave the Diver but started it back up again. What's great is that they keep introducing new mechanics that (no pun intended) hook me in again. I previously spent a ton of time (pre-Klaus fight) in the fishing + sushi bar loop, but now that I've continued the story, more interesting things are being introduced. Also, Klaus was a weird spike in difficulty—you go from the easy Giant Squid fight into the Klaus fight thinking it's gonna be similar and BAM! you get a spike in difficulty.

Also planning on trying to get into Planet Coaster if I have time. It's been in my Steam library FOR YEARS but I haven't mustered up the energy to learn it. I tried once but was turned off by the fact that you can't make large plaza areas, only single pathways. But I found a YouTube tutorial that seems to have a workaround for this. LASTLY, I might boot up Civ 6, but I'm afraid of re-learning it's mechanics again.

Xenonauts 2

Released into early access last week, and picked it up yesterday. Very happy with it so far. Fun and polished.

Two Point Hospital on the PS5. Finding some of the levels harder on console than on PC for some reason, maybe I am expanding too quickly

Road 96! Also revisiting Hyperlight Drifter

The Finals season 3

And lots and lots of Redout 2.

Forbidden West on weekends
