Factorio, hours upon hours of Factorio. I go to bed planning my next expansion. I wake up from dreaming about it. It’s consumed my life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Finished Milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk last night and picked up the next one Milk outside a bag of milk outside a bag of milk.

It's definitely very strange and unsettling, but I like it.

I've been feeling the Elder Scrolls itch and with the spooky season upon us, I decided it's a good time to finally dig into Tamriel Rebuilt (which just got a new release BTW). The quality of what I've seen so far is stellar, it feels like it's an official Bethesda content (and I mean that in the best way possible).

Abandoned Starfield a week ago. Have been and mostly will be playing:

• Batman: Arkham Knight
• Death Stranding: Directors Cut

Got them last week on discount.

trackmania, full speed maps. v addictive.

Can only talk about my watch list :

• Dave the Diver, on my Mac . Sadly, steam only.
• dredge, PS4
• thinking about cyberpunk but ps4 might grind
• also BF2042 maybe for a shooter

Also looking for some kind of chill farming / city building thing, for the mac, to play in bed, if anyone has anything ?

Got way too much on the go right now.

• Baldur's Gate 3
• Astroneer
• Ion Fury
• Timberborn
• Sea Of Stars

Just finished Sea of Stars. I never 180'd from a game so much.

I started it a week and a half ago, and I was in love with the game. The story was cliché, sure, but everything else was perfect, and the characters were kind of cute.

But the third act feels too rushed and the ending... Oh boy, the ending. It just doesn't feel like an ending at all. I was extremely disappointed with it, and too many setpieces just led to nowhere.

And the true ending was even worse, in that it not only has very arbitrary requirements to unlock (including finding all 60+ collectibles scattered across the map in random locations), but ruins one of the best and arguably the most emotional moments of the game as well.

I went back to playing Slay the Spire for a bit, since it's almost N7 Day, but I might just replay Disco Elysium in stead. After ME, maybe it's time to try Starfield? Have seen too many negative reviews to really want to pay full price for it, but we'll see.

Diablo 2 hardcore. Currently gearing up to take on hell with my javazon.

Also playing some super Mario wonder. It's a very fun and enjoyable game so far.

Cyberpunk 2077 - Phantom Liberty and the 2.0 update have brought a lot of life back to this game. I’m having a blast running through the city doing jobs here and there. The PL missions so far (only really played the opening one) have been awesome and very well put together. Despite the hate the game got for bugs at launch, it really is one of my favorite FPS RPGs.

iRacing - The continuous one. I’m not terribly fast at Simracing, but damn do I enjoy it. I have a league race at Bathurst in a Radical SR8 on Friday that I’m looking forward to.

CS2 - Been dabbling in CS again with the new releases. I’m absolute trash at the game now, and that impacts the enjoyment sometimes, but as long as I’m playing in a duo it’s bearable.

Apex Legends - Probably the game I have the most hours in outside of minecraft. I’ve played well over 10k games of BR, and thousands of mixtape. The new season just dropped yesterday and I’m thinking it’s time to get back on the ranked grind.

I just started Dave the Diver on the switch and I’m hooked!

I recently bought Invisible Inc., a turn-based tactical stealth game. I had my eye on it for almost 8 years now, but I seldom found time to play any other game than DotA. Now that I have beat my addiction, I can finally enjoy some games I had on my wishlist for a very long time. I also bought the first two Thief games and Grim Fandango Remastered.

Grim Fandango made me tear up. I have never had so much fun in years playing a video game. I really enjoy adventure games (played Myst, Monkey Island, Beneath a Steel Sky) but I have the feeling that this style of game is a bit out of fashion currently. Any recommendations for modern adventure games?

Finished three games this weekend:

1. The Talos Principle. I've had this game for years, but always bounced off during the second world. Finally stuck with it in anticipation of the sequel. Overall, not as difficult as I imagined, but some puzzles are quite frustrating, either because the solution feels like a bug or because the setup is long and a mistake requires a full reset. Still very enjoyable even though I didn't care much about the story.

2. FF7 Remake Intergrade. Not much to say about this one. Very solid DLC and just the right length. Next up: Continuing my playthrough of the original FF7 from where Remake ended.

3. Cocoon. Probably my favorite game of the year beside Hi-Fi Rush. Really cool main mechanic that's explored at a very enjoyable pace. All puzzle elements are clearly telegraphed as well and unintentional red herrings get blocked off to avoid confusion. Didn't really see this game get noticed though, which is a shame.

Cities: Skylines 2! Poor performance aside it's easy to see the potential, and it's still a lot of fun. I still get around 30 fps at 1440p in my small town

I just started EVE Online and I might be ready to rage quit.

Darkest Dungeon

Fascinating game that beats your ass non-stop and yet you ask for it again.

Trying to finish all levels with all characters on Mario 3D World.

Then, it's always "just one more race" on F-zero 99

Been going through Gotham Knights on Gamepass, it's solid. It doesn’t stand up to the best of the Arkham series, but it's at least an interesting twist on the idea, and the Arkham formula still holds up.

Also been on a totally random RollerCoaster Tycoon kick. Haven't played in years, but for some reason I felt like getting into it again. It's incredible how well it still holds up.

Cocoon - Big puzzle game fan but this one has me underwhelmed so far. It feels disappointingly linear, and I haven’t needed to think very hard to solve anything yet. The design and atmosphere is fantastic, but I hope it gets a little more confident in its mechanics soon (just 2hrs in).

Curse of the Golden Idol - Played the first DLC. Great stuff, still has all the weirdo charm of the main game with some new logic puzzles to figure out. I thought the last chapter here felt a little too straightforward to solve for how complex it seemed at first glance, but overall it was a good expansion. On to the next one!

Factorio - 70 hours into Space Exploration and currently trying to plan a transition of my base from a main bus design to city blocks. I started SE immediately after my first vanilla Factorio victory, so it’s been a bit of an uphill climb but very fun. I really enjoy reaching a new science tier and then pausing for a while as I automate and upgrade everything that I unlocked. No rush in space!

still playing starfield and fortnite. got back into call of duty world war 2 and tried ghosts but campers are everywhere

Rotating between God of War, Overwatch, Genshin Impact and a second playthrough of Elden Ring (now with a big stick)

I can tell you what I finally with a heavy heart stopped playing after 7 years: Overwatch.

I love that game but I just couldn't overlook all the bad stuff any longer.

Now I'm sitting in front of my PC not knowing what to play.

F1 Manager 2023, my interest in the real sport has completely disappeared over the last few years but I like management games and it's doing a decent job.

Jusant, recently added to gamepass and so far I'm really enjoying everything about it. The gameplay, art style, lore and mystery are all excellent.

Titanfall 2, decided to replay the campaign but the spider bomb machine things trigger my phobia so taking a break with the games mentioned above. Such an amazing game even with my issues!
