I’ve gotten sucked into The X-Com Files. It’s a megamod for the original X-Com game from 1994, built on OpenXcom Extended (an open-source re-implementation).
My first attempt at the old X-Com game lost my interest a few years ago, but OXCE brings plenty of QoL changes and the difficulty of the XCF mod ramps up slower than vanilla. Now I’m having a blast hunting cults, cowering from aliens, building bases around the world.Still busy with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 since it launched and got dragged into Helldivers 2 by the friends.
My friends and I are doing Dungeons of Eternity this month. We’ve had three on at once but tomorrow is the first time all four of us will be on together. Excited!

No man’s sky, later after those are finished
Thinking about replaying rise of the triad
Some ESO, some Counter-Strike in the usual amounts, however I just bought GTA IV and want to finally play the story instead of just ducking around with RPGs and “the swing” 😁
I’ve never actually finished GTA IV before, though I have messed around in it a fair bit. It’s a great game
Just found out you need to read half a book of terms to create a Rockstar Acc and need that to play the game. Refund worked tho ^^. Will probably just crack it next month.
Oh that sucks, I’ve only ever played it on the 360 on a disc without internet connection.
Dune Imperium: Uprising. Gotten my whole group into it. Might organise a tournament for the heck of it.
Uprising is so much better than the base game but I don’t think they have a digital version of it yet sadly
I believe there’s a Tabletop Simulator version out, but I don’t have TTS so can’t say for sure.
I got Caves of Qud on sale over at itch.io, and have been struggling to get anywhere. The learning curve is steep, so when it gets too much I go back to my Dwarf Fortress game that I started over Christmas.

I started this year off with NIER (Ps3 Version). I’ve been thoroughly enjoying it thus far. I’ll likely do several runs to get the 4 endings and full lore. Can’t wait to sink my teeth into NieR Automata afterwards!
Lord of the rings return to moria. It’s basically been a valve in but with dwarves. Loving it.
Got 5 days left to finish Indiana Jones before the GamePass subscription times out.
I don’t encourage anyone to playing around with proprietary software games. Instead there’s plenty of great foss games that you can have fun trying and playing
On one hand, I really want to continue of Ghost of Tsushima.
On the other hand, I have Genshin Impact installed that Ive been meaning to try (reddit and my younger sister tell me its easily possible to do all but the highest level stuff without spending any money,/gambling and even said content is still doable with skill).
Though in the end, Ill probably default to Stardew Valley 😂
Take this as lemmy also joining reddit and your sister in saying that all of genshin’s exploration and quests are super casual and free to play characters can easily do them.
The only thing hard to do while f2p are two endgame dungeons that change monthly. But these two endgame dungeons have nothing to do with any main or side quests and you can completely ignore them if you want.
Roger, thanks for the info!
Everspace once I’m back from my holidays abroad.
At some point, probably after my steam deck is fixed, I’m gonna have to start Psychonauts 1. It’s been sitting in my steam library for a while and I’m positive a steam deck would be able to play through it just fine, and better than both my desktop and laptop.
Do you know if the controls still require tweaks or does it work out of the box these days?
Absolutely no clue. I have yet to even install it even once since buying it, but definitely plan on changing that this year.
I completed Psychonauts recently on my PC. There’s a Linux native version as well, and both it and the Windows+proton versions seemed to work… adequately. It’s pretty janky, which I mainly attribute to it being an old PC game.
