2 hoursBeen playing Caves of Qud recently. Hadn’t played it since I hit the current endpoint in early access (IIRC it ended after Bethesda Susa) so I am catching up to the current version. Just looking for a god damn zetachrome weapon for my golem to climb the spindle. Fucking things never drop 😩
Also playing a super simple build that is strong AF. The only things that really can kill me are cheribum and chrome pyramids. Or evil clones of myself.
I started playing Sid Meier’s Pirates but got frustrated that no one has labelled the buttons in the control schemes. I’ll do it myself once I’ve fetched a keyboard.
I’ve also been playing Raccoin which is relatively fun.

GTA IV. Been craving a replay of this, and need a hit of GTA before the next big installment.

1000xRESIST and Pathogenic
1000xRESIST was on a lot of underrated games lists last year when it came out, and I kept putting it off because the plot points I had heard about seemed very heavy, but it is a beautiful piece of art. It’s a very cinematic game with a lot to say about identity, family, and the pain we inflict upon ourselves. Saying anything about the story would probably ruin it, but it’s a walking sim with some light puzzle elements.
Pathogenic is a rougelite twinstick shooter where you play as an infection fighting through the human body and upgrading along the way by adding internal upgrades that power up external upgrades like tentacles that allow you to move or appendages that shoot/attack. It’s almost the complete opposite of 1000xRESIST. Basically no story and all gameplay.

I just finished the most recent Shinobi and it was exactly what I wanted from it. Nine Souls before that was quite excellent. Animal Well was even better than expected. Dome Keeper was fun. Sea of Stars was good but couldn’t hold my attention. I also played the newest installment of Axiom Verge.
I’m a sucker for good Metroidvania games. Open to suggestions for others in that genre.

Got back into Caves of Qud recently. I gave up on it a while back, but I have a renewed interest in it and it’s going well.

So I just started playing Brotato, the cousin (or should I say brother?^^) of Vampire Survivors, as if I didn’t have a backlog enough. I avoided these games until now, for whatever reason my curiosity picked up. But now I can see the appeal to it. Well for one price was not the actual issue. You can get them for 5 Dollars / Euros, or 3 on a sale.
Why would I chose to play Brotato instead the more famous (and vampires are cooler) Vampire Survivors? After researching and reading opinions about both games, I came to a conclusion that Brotato might be better on the gameplay side, with more depth in it through meaningful different characters and items. And Vampire Survivors is also focused on collectables, which I’m not such a big fan of, but for many that is a plus. I also like the idea of Brotato releasing enemies in waves and then in between one can purchase stuff with money in a shop. I will probably end up playing the other game too… and then there is Mega Bonk, which I also ignored until now.

Deep Rock Galactic Survivor is my personal favorite in the genre, so one more for your backlog.

It’s actually not a bad “problem” to have. ;-) Thanks, looks also good its wishlisted now.
Holocure would be my recommendation for the free tier of the Survivor genre. However, last I heard it has performance issues when there’s lots of enemies on screen…

I’ve seen this game too, but forgot about it, as I’m not really into VTuber stuff. But decoupling it from this, looking at the game itself, I might try it out. I mean i’m into the genre now, so its only a matter of time. :p Thanks for the suggestion.
Skate 3 Recomp, Windows version via Proton using Faugus. Freaking amazing.

Man the community with the recent recompilations of old classics to play them natively and enhance them is crazy. I have to get into this too (but different games). I would have thought with the recompilation of a game on Windows, a native Linux version should be possible too.

I’m in the middle of replaying Cyberpunk and finishing my fourth playthrough of Silksong. A friend also just got me neon white so I’ve been playing that too. Other than that still the occasional windblown run when I can convince my husband to play

I adore it, I’ve sunk like 300 hours into it so far. Definitely worth picking up, especially if you can hook a friend!
Factorio in docked mode on the tv. I can’t believe how well it runs. Looks just fine in 1080 or whatever on my 4k

I finally picked up palworld on the deck (previously had it on ps5). I have been playing that a bit.
Palworld is addicting. I tried Pokemon, Monster Sanctuary, Coromon, Cassette Beasts, and Nexomon. Bounced off all of them. Who knew that adding base building, shifting to a 3rd person view, and adding a million things to do would make it stick with me.

I get bored rather quickly with Palworld. I will play for a month or so solid, then put it down for 8+ months. But I do that with pokemon too.

Ah, I see, its a bummer. I guess the game is good enough that it was worth the purchase and starting again; speaks for the game itself. Especially with the version 1.0 release there are huge changes that its probably exciting again. However I find it a bit weird that it does not have cross-save, because it has cross-play joining console and PC servers. But this would require a third party account from Pocket Pair. Whatever, I was just thinking a bit out loud.
