it's very much borrowed from one of the reddit subs i frequent(ed) often, but the idea is to share what we're playing weekly and hopefully create discussions around those games (or simply have a sort of "check-in").

I'm hundreds of hours into my Satisfactory factory. Working on bringing my final power plant online this weekend!

Working in the swamp, late at night

Just wouldn't be a power plant without eerie green

Damn, my factory sucks ass next to this ^^

[-] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Humble beginnings my friend, we all started hand crafting iron rods and plates. This factory is my third, and this is about 400 hours in. At this stage you're at the stage of "I enjoy this, right? I'm doing this for fun, right?"

Tears of the Kingdom, and when I get burnt out, either Persona 5 or Hitman III.

[-] nadiaraven@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago

I've been playing TotK like it's my second job since day 1, and I still don't feel close to maxing out on its content. Breath of the Wild was my favorite game of all time, and somehow Tears of the Kingdom is even better.

Hades! It's such a fun and addicting game. I am trying to 100% the game, so I have made a couple hundred escape attempts with no escapes as of yet.

[-] ado@beehaw.org 8 points 1 year ago

System Shock! Felt like it's been coming out forever and then suddenly just dropped. Amazing so far

I just got my Steam Deck and have loved playing through BoTW via CEMU with mods (playing as Linkle!)

Right now I am trying to get modded Skyrim going on my 64gb Steam Deck, since I haven't played before and love fantasy settings!

Tears of the kingdom, hehe. Might just play some splatoon 3.

[-] acowley@beehaw.org 8 points 1 year ago

Tears of the Kingdom with my son! He is Mr. Random Adventure, while I tend to steer us to objectives. It’s a good combo.

[-] any1th3r3@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago

that sounds like a lot of fun!

Octopath Traveler 2, pretty challenging when getting to the later portion of the game.

[-] Takeshidude@beehaw.org 8 points 1 year ago

I got Tears of the Kingdom for my birthday, so I’ve been enjoying that this week. I’m thinking about picking up Ozymandius on steam at some point for a nice 4X-Lite game.

Switching between Tears of the Kingdom and MSQ of Final Fantasy XIV

[-] JCPhoenix@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

On the MMO side, Eve and FFXIV.

On the single player side, been playing some "Coffee Talk," "Live A Live," and "Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney" (via emulator), all on my Steam Deck.

[-] okiegirl22@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago

Tears of the Kingdom as well. I’ve been running around doing shrines and whatnot and not working on quests, though, so I need to put some time into the actual objectives, ha ha!

[-] wintrparkgrl@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago

Tears of the Kingdom, spending hours just making random stuff

[-] psysok@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

I have been playing Tears of the Kingdom, but when my wife has been playing I have been switching in between Serious Sam 4 and the original Commander Keen.

Commander Keen takes a little to get used to the game feel and style, but I am actually enjoying it pretty well. You can feel a lot of what would go into id shooters. Mazelike levels with a series of key cards, but on a 2d platformer instead of a fps.

Just finished Dusk yesterday and almost done with the first Sacred game. I've always liked it more than Diablo.

[-] nxtequal@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago

Splatoon! The new season is out, so I'm looking forward to grinding my catalogue and getting used to the new stages. This season features a lot of Nintendo game consoles for your locker, like the "Intended Entertainment System"... love it.

[-] m_talon@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago

Actually been playing Assassin's Creed 2. Got the Ezio collection on sale and been enjoying revisiting an old classic. I forgot how much fun the legacy AC games were.

Doom 2016 on the steam deck. Trying to learn how to aim with the trackpad and gyro after years of kb+m. Seems to be going okay so far.

[-] Skyhighatrist@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

The gyro can be a little difficult to get used to at first. In my opinion it is best used for fine adjustments. So you'd use the trackpad or joystick for the big adjustments, then fine tune with the gyro.

Diablo 4, enjoying it so far but their MTX shop is a joke. You want 25€ for a basic looking set of armor? I don't think so.

Season 2 of Limbus Company also just launched, finally beat 3-22 right before the servers went down. Really loving that game, the characters quickly grew on me. I play a few gacha's (Arknights, GBF, GI) but Limbus is the only one I'd recommend to friends. You can pretty much farm every identity without spending a dime and FOMO is pretty low. Helps that Project Moon is an Indie dev I guess.

[-] darkfoe@lemmy.one 6 points 1 year ago

Working on Dying Light 2. Waited for awhile for it to go on sale once and have some confirmed reports working with Proton, so partway through the campaign now!

[-] mint@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago

Beyond the Retroid Flip I just stuffed with games, I've been on a Metroidvania kick lately. So I've been playing Afterimage, which is gigantic, and Astliba, which is endearingly janky and reminiscent of Falcom's PC days.

Also I found Siralim Ultimate which is like, Dragon Quest Monsters x3000, I'm glad I found it now and not in the midst of grad school or it'd be soooo Joever for me lmao

Currently playing Boltgun. Getting close to finishing the 2nd episode.

Trying to finish up Tears of the Kingdom! Once I do that I'm planning to get back into Horizon Zero Dawn on my PC. I was enjoying it on my Steam Deck while out of the country, but got to a point where it would crash whenever I tried to load a save.

[-] YoTcA@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

Death Stranding. Was sceptic for a long time, if the concept of the game is for me and motivating enough to keep me playing. Picked it up during a sale recently and really got hooked. With not much time to game it is nice to deliver a few packages and be able to quit again. Story is so cryptic that it feels like it does not matter if you forget something after a week long break and the atmosphere of the game feels really nice.

Terraria and Breath of the Wild. I wish I had played them sooner but I had never played the Zelda games before but now that I have gotten into it I have had LOTS of fun. As of Terraria, I have played it for a while but it hasn’t gotten old yet so I’m going to play as long as I feel like.

[-] RickDickem@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

I've been playing GTA RP, RDR2 RP, and Terraria with Calamity and Thorium mod, although lately I've gotten Distracted with Stable Diffusion, so I haven't been playing much these last few days.

[-] aRatherDapperFox@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Been playing a lot of WoW recently, really loving all the content in Zandalar! Most fun I've had playing an MMO in a while.

On the single-player side of things, I played through Beasts of Maravilla Island! It's short, but sweet, and only $10 on Steam. It scratches the same itch as Pokémon Snap, and I've been desperate for new content like it since New Pokémon Snap isn't likely to get any new DLC... Ever.

[-] projectazar@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

I am deep into the System Shock remake, and I am absolutely loving it.

[-] any1th3r3@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

i'll start, i'm playing Devil May Cry 5, i wanted to see what all the fuss was about action/gameplay-wise before starting FF XVI in a few weeks time (which I'm extremely hyped for!).
i'm having a pretty great time with the game so far!

I just bought the BioShock collection for $10 on sale and I'm playing BioShock 1 for the first time. The game is a little outdated but the story so far is really interesting to me, I love the world building.

I recently finished Hardspace: Shipbreaker, which I quite enjoyed, even though dissecting the ships felt a bit tedious towards the end. Now I'm playing Warhammer 40k: Boltgun, and it's amazing if you're into dakka and bloody gore-explosions.

Mainly Path of Titans dino adventures with friends right now, though I do want to get back into the private investigations in Shadows of Doubt.

I'm always playing Minecraft (anyone here looking to start a vanilla SMP?), but my brother just convinced me to buy this game called Mechabellum, which is a pretty cool mech-themed auto-battler. It's been quite a bit of fun figuring out unit combos and counters and everything.

[-] artillect@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

I've been playing a bunch of MTG Arena and Tears of the Kingdom lately, and sometimes I hop onto Runescape. Maybe I should finally get around to using the gold I've been saving up to buy a bond

I recently found a good Wine wrapper for SWAT4 so I'm gonna be reliving my childhood a bit. Might jump back into Lost Judgment and try to finally beat it before I get sucked into another RGG game.
