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 just bought Silica and Gunner, HEAT, PC!, which have both been pretty cool so far. Both are early access games that I wanted to support.

Silica has way more to it than I expected, and I'm excited to play more (hopefully with friends, at some point).

GHPC is sort of like single player (for now) War Thunder, with a pretty cool simulation of Cold War era tanks and ballistics while still being fairly accessible. One interesting thing it does: the tank commander will speak to you (which is where the title of the game comes from), and it will get increasingly more tense and eventually turn into panicked screams, depending on the situation.

I'm playing these on Linux, and I have a weird audio issue with GHPC. Nobody else seems to experience this, and it doesn't happen on my Steam Deck.

My D&D group is taking a two-week break (responsibilities and all that) so I've been playing through Honkai: Star Rail. I'm just about caught up on the main storyline.

I’ve been playing Mount and Blade II Bannerlord lately on the steam deck and it’s been a blast! It literally runs it perfectly and the controls are really well done. It keeps me stay awake at nights when my wife is resting and it is my turn to take care of our 2 weeks old newborn. The only bad thing I could think of is how the fan can get a bit louder but it is design to do so (Valve sent me a the loud fan version but planning on getting the quieter one from iFixit in the distant future). I’ve been trying to play Bannerlord with an overhaul mod like Realm of Thrones but it seems to be having problem with Linux and having an infinite loading screen problem. Some mods that are on the steam workshop do work though! Also, hooray! I’m already loving this new website!

Switching between TOTK and M&B: Bannerlord. Trying a Sturgia all infantry run in the latter. Also WOULD be playing more Hell Let Loose if not for the tragic Update 14,

Been playing Honkai: Star Rail and Tears of the Kingdom at the same time like a maniac. I'll probably burn out on both and wander off.

The fun part is Star Rail almost becomes an idle game, eventually, because you can just set up auto battles to grind resources and set it off to the side to do its thing. Is this real gaming? I dunno, but it has pretty graphics.

Just finished Jet Island (Spiderman webswinging meets hoverboard in VR) and am now playing Budget Cuts 2: Mission Insolvency (VR robot murder simulator). Both are excellent VR games on PC

I finished Above Snakes in 18.5 hours and very much enjoyed it. I'd say the game is a 7.5/10. They clearly ran out of time and/or budget, but they had good sales, so some content patches have been promised - and they already did multiple quick bugfix releases.

Now it's back to Rust, as usual.

Fiiiiinally starting to get a little bit burnt out on totk so I am currently pretty into rain world and Spelunky 2! Both great but brutally hard games. Been having a ton of fun with them.

Also been playing opus magnum on and off which has been very fun

Been grinding out CS:GO again. The news of counter-strike 2 has put my friends and me back on the hook!

Enjoying Dave the Diver. It's oddly addictive rogue like with an 80's arcade game Root Beer Tapper vibe.
