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.

You don’t have to be a OSRS fan to like it. It’s just a solid open world rpg sandbox with dopamine infused achievements.

Replayed Alan Wake and Control, now playing Alan Wake 2. The stories are so well written and interesting

I played Blue Prince for a long time, currently taking a break because it's incredibly mentally taxing.
Been playing the Iron Oath a lot lately. It's a tactics game with permadeath and feels D&D inspired, it has a few issues but nothing game-breaking.
Board games, I'm always playing Betrayal at House on the Hill, but we also tried Call to Adventure recently and that was pretty fun, would like to give it another go and get the hang of it.

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.

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.

After 6 years, Sekiro finally clicked with me and I got all 4 endings for it within few weeks.

I've been hooked on Factorio lately. I think it's helping with some of the decision paralysis shit I've been dealing with at work.

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.

I'm playing through an old PS2 title Radiata Stories. I don't get why this title is so overlooked! It's really fucking funny to play in 2025 cause its weirdly apt with nepotism, classism and going to war over wage theft (kinda, anyway).

I don't wanna spoil it though.

I played Clue for the first time yesterday! Super fun.

100%'d Silksong, my game of the decade so far.

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.

Just finished SOMA a few years late. Asks some very good questions...

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)

Just finished Sunderfolk with a group of friends and my wife. Also finished Expedition 33 (and I'll never stop talking about it).

I'm about halfway through Dodgeball Academy and Chants of Sennaar. They're a fun little distraction before I dig into Blue Prince and Hades

The Invicible and Outer Wilds, eat some edibles or/and shrooms with these games and you'll be so hella immersed. Absolutely great sci-fi/space exploration games

just picked up fallout 4 goty

works beautifully (for me, ~40 fps) with ultra settings @1440p on my thinkpad with igpu :)

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 just booted up my Project Ozone 3 Minecraft server again. Thats fun. Sword of the Sea is also great, recent release by Giant Squid.

I just started Cryptmaster today and it’s even better than I was anticipating!

It’s charming, wryly funny, and the art style is incredible. It’s as close to a lighthearted D&D session in tone I’ve experienced and I adore it.

Got it in a pick-your-own bundle alongside Meg’s Monster which I’ve yet to play but still excited! Haven’t regretted it yet.

Rdr1 which is what got me in the series (and also into spaghetti westerns).

Unfortunately I'm dealing with a bug that's hiding all my wolf pelts so I can't sell them, and asking on reddit just gets me downvoted for whatever fucking reason.

The next game I'm gonna try is Night in the Woods, I heard some good things about it.

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 played Heartworm. It's an indie survival horror game that came out recently. It's a very unique game in the genre. I highly recommend it.

I actually really like Undecember, despite the inventory management, costume shop, and gacha mechanic for legendaries. The storyline gets good after the first arc, and the skill system is so flexible, you can make almost any type of build you can think of.

Clair Obscur. First thing to really grab my attention since BG3.

Started playing State of Decay 2 again. Best zombie survival game ever. Hope the third one isn't a flop and releases in my lifetime.

I got cyberpunk 2077 for the summer sale and I'm absolutely loving it. Put nearly 200 hours into the game in the first month or so. Only just now getting into mods. Despite its poor launch the dlc definitely makes up for it.

Still on the Slay the Spire-train. A downright excellent game.

Also playing some Hades 2
