I picked up portal 1 again, one of my favorite games. And then i also tried frostpunk a little. Seems cool but so far i suck at keeping the people warm
I also picked up a bunch of games on gog and might finally get around to play mirrors edge if it plays nice with proton.
Now I want to replay Portal 1 & 2 again. I have all the puzzles memorized a thousand times over at this point. Such good games.
Mirror’s Edge is also really fun. I’ve only played it once but think about it frequently. I’d like to play it again sometime.
I first got mirrors edge around the time it came out, but didnt play it much, think it was because of stability issues. Then ive always meant to play through it but never got around to.
And while you can only ever experience portal for the first time once, it is still fun to play thorugh again, especially if its some time ago and you dont remember how to solve everything.
I got sucked back into Warframe.
Total War: Empire. I’ve previously played Rome 1/2, Medieval 1/2, and Atilla. For anyone who’s played other total war games, there are a couple of game mechanics that are new in Empire.
There are actual naval battles, where you put ships into a battle line, and you can board enemy ships. It’s cool but hard (for me) to control. Also many of the buildings in a territory aren’t located in the capital because it’s meant to represent colonial holdings, so you can have a sugar plantation or something outside the protection of a city, and a lot of the warfare ends up being small skirmishes sacking outlying buildings.
Recently modded my gba to have a laminated ips screen and over the past week I’ve dove into fire emblem advance wars and ff4
Concerned ape said he wouldn’t be updating SDV any more, or at least until haunted chocolatier was out, so I thought it’d be a good idea to dust off the old mod collection and start a new farm
Hes actually said the opposite. He doesn’t want to make a new SDV because adding onto it is addicting for him.
Streets of Rage on my little handheld emulator that I bought last week. I’d forgotten how long it’s been since I last played!
Playing Oblivion. I don’t remember liking it this much when I first played it way back when. And there’s a lot I don’t remember, so maybe I never got that far into it. I just discovered that the Daedra shrines give you crazy powerful magic items, so now I’m tracking all those down. Although I contacted vampirism during one of the missions, which is starting to suck.

Ys X Nordics. Ys games really know how to craft adventures, definitely better than Ubisoft does, despite much smaller worlds these games are set in.
Nordics combat has no heft to me. I started Memories of Celtica(sp?) and the combat seems better in that. I think a couple decisions you make in Memories carries over to ys9 so i think I’m gonna do that next.
This one feels like a case of patient gaming backfiring on me. It took me a couple of years to finish Ys IX, but now that I’ve waited on this, I just want to hold out until Proud Nordics comes out.
The wait might be worth it. Since OG is already good, I am sure Proud Nordics actually might be better.
I picked up the Definitive Edition of Age of Empires 2 on sale last week after they released a new dlc update. It was still a bit overpriced for a 25 year old game at like $(US)10, but I’ve definitely gotten my money’s worth so far.
I’m definitely not an RTS gamer and I’m not really interested in the multiplayer but the campaigns have been a lot of fun. I really wasn’t expecting there to hundreds of hours of just campaigns content so it’s been a pleasant surprise.
The new campaign missions seem a lot longer than what I remembered of the original campaigns. I like that they tutorials now give you some strategy, too.
I only purchased the base DE so I don’t have access to the DLC campaigns. I figured I’d pick them up down the line if I liked the game. Apparently I picked some harder campaigns first though because I just started with the African ones on the first page.
Im down to playing that game against the comp, with liberal use of the pause button. Not the pvp of my younger days. But considering I borrowed and cracked it back then, and only paid for it the first time on steam some years ago, man that game has given me some great returns.
They Bleed Pixels. Tough as nails precision platformer with combat, and a gothic Lovecraftian aesthetic. Came out in 2012, but for some reason didn’t get as much attention as Super Meat Boy (2010)
I’ve been playing Planet Crafter quite a bit. It gives me the same vibes Subnautica did, just without any scary monsters. Love it to pieces
I‘ve been getting into Shadow of War.
I liked the first game more when I played it and I feel like I‘m constantly fighting the controls (don‘t jump there! don‘t drain that guy! what are you stuck on now?!), but it‘s fun regardless; and thanks to how bs gaming patents are, it‘s still very unique in the way it plays lol
I picked up Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (again, but I lost my save file, so I’m starting over).
It was that or Genealogy of the Holy War, but I’m going with the “easier” of the two first.Space Engineers while my new steamdeck downloads games. Balatro and Valhiem play great on it. Looking forward to Nier Automata.
