I primarily mean video games. However, if you’ve played some kind of interesting table top or card game I’d like to hear about that too! I’ve been replaying the Witcher 3 lately.
playing final fantasy 12 lately. I started it on playstation or playstation 2 I think and never really went forward with it. trying again on steamdeck.
I’ve been playing a lot of Mechwarrior Online and Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries recently, but Singleplayer Tarkov just released their 4.0 update/overhaul so I’m starting that as well.
Ever play Mexhwarrior: Living Legends?
Its a free mod of crisis wars with a tiny community but it has combined arms mechwarrior game play (jets, VTOLs, Tanks, BattleArmor, mechs) and maps large enough to actually play mechwarrior.
I haven’t, but I’m very intrigued and will have to give it a shot.
Not battlefield 6, i dont get the hype, at least my gameshare friend bought it himself because he wanted it, feels worse than 2042 in some ways
I think I’m about halfway through Stray and love every minute.
I’ve also been playing Pokemon Emerald: Seaglass as a really gorgeous re-imagining of Emerald.
I really enjoyed Stray the world is gorgeous (in it’s dingy apocalyptic way) and I enjoyed how they used the mechanics with a couple change ups to keep it interesting but not out-staying there welcome.
The ending I thought was really good.
Check out spirit of the north if you wanna play a game where youre a cute fox
I will! Thanks!
100%'d Silksong, my game of the decade so far.
It took them seven years to make it. I doubt they will release another installment in five years so definitely GotD.
I know… but DLCs confirmed!
For video games, I just beat silksong, which was super fun and pretty brutal. The art and music is phenomenal though, it’s a great game. Working on Hades 2 right now, which is also fantastic and I’d recommend.
For board games I’ve been getting my group into the Heroes 3 board game. It’s the biggest box I’ve ever seen for a game lol. It does a great job of feeling like the computer game while meeting the constraints of a board game, plus there’s lots of bits to fiddle with. Downside is its huge, so you need a big table or a group comfortable playing on the floor.
Was surprised by Ratchet and Clank Rifts apart. It is fun and well made.
If you want some new games I’ll recommend: Rollerdrome
El Paso elsewhere
I used to love the ratchet and clank series. But I haven’t had a sony console since the PS2
Its on PC and if you have PC you could run it through and emulator
I just bought ratchet and clank rifts apart. Still waiting to play it. But I’m glad others like it!
Did you play with keyboard or controller? And what would u recommend?
Controller 1000%, Sony has this amazing vibration set up for their games. I played on PC and with an Xbox controller but they someone manage to bring out the full haptic feedback abilities of that controller compared to their games.
Nice, i only have a steam controller, but I guess it’ll still be better than keyboard haha
I’ve been playing only retro games lately and I just finished Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for a second time yesterday. Now I’m continuing playing the Fatal Frame saga on my ps2.
I’m a sucker for nostalgia and a believer of game preservation, and I managed to figure out, with some guides, how to setup my own private World of Warcraft server using AzerothCore. It only goes up to Wotlk but IMO, that’s the best expansion anyway.
I’ve been using it currently to solo play the game with bots. Funny enough, the bots actually dodge fire! Lol. But since it has bots that means I can still do dungeon and raid content! And I don’t have to deal with the stress of juggling a raid schedule. I can just play whenever I want, however long I want.
It does also have the option to be port forwarded to allow friends to join. But I don’t have any good friends interested in that. And I don’t want to make the server fully public for reasons.
Unfortunately, its very complicated to setup. So I highly recommend finding a guide before trying to install it. It does require setting up a virtual machine and running a bunch of scripts. So it can be a bit complicated for anyone who isn’t tech savvy.
That’s actually amazing, can you choose the bots you’re filling the raid/party slots with? I’ve got wicked nostalgia for wotlk and my partner was interested in wow when classic came out but they’ve had bad experiences with pug raids in other games (heck, even issues with guilds). Would you mind posting a link to some of the guides you used?
Yes! You get to invite the bots and choose their talent specs and everything. And you can fill raids with them too!
The following YouTube video is a step-by-step guide to setting up AzerothCore with player bots. It is a bit complicated but if you follow along, you too can get a WoW server stood up ;-)
Once you have the server, you can use the ChromieCraft client and edit “WTF/Config.wtf”. And set the “realmList” to the local IP of the virtual machine.

Oh also, here’s a link to the player bot commands list. It’s a bunch of text commands. Nirv has a addon that lets him issue commands but for whatever reason it’s incompatible with some of my preferred addons. So I just create chat macros and use an action bar to issue commands.

Note: I feel like I should warn… Nirv is kinda an a-hole. But he is very smart and knowledgeable about this stuff. So maybe just focus on the tutorial and getting it setup etc.

Thank you, I’ll have a look after work!
I started to play RE2: Remake somedays ago. Has been a struggle since I only have like 2 hours to play per day. Yesterday started the second part of the game with Claire, and man, I laugh my ass off because the fucking zombies doesn’t let her take a breath.
I’ve been playing on void linux with GE-Proton10-15 (GE-Proton10-19 came out like 3 hours ago, for someone’s information)
Damn I haven’t played an RE game since probably RE6. I’ve always loved horror movies but I think I’m too much of a big baby to play horror games regularly.
I skipped RE6 and all of the RE: Revelations games. I can’t play those games because I can’t handle the action factor that they have. Still, the last RE games I played were RE7 and RE8. I loved them, especially 8.
Just finished SOMA a few years late. Asks some very good questions…
I loved Soma, so much existential angst.
I love the big revelations and how they are done. It’s definitely a game which makes you think.
I also love that they put in the no deaths mode so you can ignore the monsters which whilst cool I don’t think added much to the experience for me other than frustration trying to sneak past them.
Playing Ghost of Yotei at the moment and absolutely loving it. Tsushima was an all timer for me so I’m happy for more.
I picked up Icewind Dale again. It’s one of my comfort games, along with several of the other Infinity Engine games. Still holds up.
Something always steals my attention away anytime I try and start that one up.
Someday.
To be fair, it’s not terribly engaging (compared to the other games in the series). But if you’re into dungeon crawls, it’s fun.
Just finished my annual Far Cry 2 play through, and it was as chaotic and random as ever.
Man that series fell off quickly after that one. I liked 3 a good bit, but it was still a massive downgrade from Far Cry 2 in some respects. Just replayed 2 on PC at the start of the year after not playing it since the Xbox 360 days in 720p.
Youre right. Just finished far cry 6. Bought it cause I hadn’t played since 2.
I literally just finished the 3D remake of Final Fantasy 3 (PC version) before coming here. After I’m done here, I’m going to start playing Roller Coaster Tycoon Deluxe.
I also somewhat recently finished the original PC version of Doom 3 and it’s expansion pack. I understand why people don’t like it as much as Doom 1 and 2 but I still think the game was good.
