    I got caught by Neverwinter and Star Trek Online. Money-sucking leeches that they are, I still do the f2p grind…

    I recommend staying away from f2p live service games. They’re evil.

    System Shock (the remake) with a cut-down version of the Ironman mod to provide randomization. It’s only slight loot randomization so there’s no major pathing changes but it’s fun nonetheless.

    I like randomizers. They add some additional replay value to already good games. I must’ve played through randomized Bloodstained a down times already – and twice that for Super Metroid. (And then there’s the beautiful mess that is randomized Borderlands 2. I don’t think I’m ever going to finish a run but man are they wild.)

    The original Call of Duty. Just installed this weekend and haven’t played it since early 2000’s. After that I plan to play the very first Call of Duty Black Ops which I never actually played the story of.

      Enjoy! I remember really liking the campaign of Black Ops. I don’t remember the story anymore but I remember it being great

    Putting the finishing touches on Darksiders Genesis with a friend. Game was alright. My advice would be to play the game on Medium or High settings with Ultra textures. I realized too late that I could‘ve played with 50% higher framerate while the game hardly looks any different all this time lol

    I also hope to figure out why the fuck I suck so much at Dorfromantik and get a bit more into the game this weekend.

      Love that game. Got it as a gift last year, one of my favourites on the console. I mostly play PC but I keep the PS5 plugged in mostly for this game (and I use it as a 4K blu-ray player)

    Still thoroughly sucked into Pathfinder: Kingmaker. At least I’ve stopped poking around in side areas now, just focusing on advancing the main story. Also doing companion quests. This might be the longest not-live-service game I’ve ever played? I think I still have at least two more full chapters to go.

    Less patient because I saw and I was patient, and more ‘shit I didn’t know about these’ (they’re both free) pokerogue and infinitode 2 have been taking up most of my time lately.

    Dead Space. The remake looks great and the sound design is bonkers. I love the utilitarian design of the tech as well. Headphones are recommended.

    I started playing Monifactory, a modern Gregtech CEu Minecraft modpack. Someone send help.

    Basically extra complex Satisfactory, but everything is blocks.

    Still playing Daggerfall and The Sims.
    With Daggerfall it’s more of a research project rather than a playthrough at the moment, will probably go back to playing soon. As for The Sims… were days in the first game always this short? It really feels like there’s barely any time left after coming back from work and taking care of basic needs. Man, if I wanted more of that I would just focus on my own life.

    Besides these two I was thinking about going back to Hollow Knight but then I found out I didn’t backup my saves before reinstalling the OS on my desktop. I was half way through the game. I decided to play Medabots: Kabuto for GBA instead.

    I played this game a bit before - don’t remember when exactly or for how long though. I also forgot pretty much anything about it besides the Medabot customization system (it’s neat). I’m still not sure whether I like the combat (not being able to select exactly who and where you attack can be a pain) but I got a hang of it and have enough fun to keep playing. It’s also super easy to cheese, at least early on.
    Other than that game is pretty dope. Story is simple but fun, music and visuals are great and the already mentioned unit customization add a lot of choice to combat (especially if you’re willing to avoid minmaxing). I honestly didn’t expect to have this much fun with the game.

      You should give Hollow Knight another shot. It’s seriously such an amazing game. I’ve been thinking of replaying it soon

        While I did like what I played so far I just can’t be bothered to start from scratch right now. I’ll get back to it eventually but the backlog beckons and there’s A LOT of titles waiting for their turn.

    Dragon Quest 9 on DS (emulated). Prior to this I was playing Kingdom Hearts Recoded also on DS (emulated). My recommendation is to enjoy what retroachievements does to your old favorites, lol (can’t wait for DOSBox integration).

    I’m generally a PC gamer but I was playing the steam ports of Kingdom Hearts (they are bad ports) and now I’m just emulating things. Can you believe those lunatics lumped 4 games of achievements into a single set without any order? There’s even duplicate names for things, it’s a wildly sloppy port, lol. Not recommended.
