Sunday is Gaming Day: What are you playing thread

I'm playing Mad Max in preparation for the falllout in the US that is about to happen.

Not really anything because my desktop is dying but on the 22nd of August I am getting a new one. Going from a gtx 980 to an rtx 4060

Satisfactory again. I have a whole ass spreadsheet file for this game. Planning for an extensive use of trains, each grouping of related products will be done together. e.g. I have an iron district, it imports iron ore from around the map, smelts it into iron ingots, and turns those ingots into iron plates, iron rods, and reinforced iron plates as needed. Any products that need these resources will draw from this district via trains, and when I need to expand I can build additional floors to the existing buildings.

I finally picked up Inscryption at my friend's insistence, and I'm actually having a great time playing it, especially going in mostly blind, it has caught me off guard in several ways already, and one BIG way.

I highly recommend it to anyone who likes card games, or even experimental games and / or ARGs.

Trying to get into Dwarf Fortress but I'm almost watching more tutorials /reading forum posts than I am playing at this point. I've played space cannibalism for several years so I'm mostly wise to setting up efficient workflow for my short kings but there's so many items and tasks it's hard figuring out what to prioritize.

Trying to close out Shadow of the Erdtree! Loved Elden Ring overall, but it definitely had more than its fair share of bullshit bosses and generally unfun segments, a game with a ton of highs, and some sour lows. I think I like Sekiro more still, as a pound for pound package.

Soon, I will move onto Fear & Hunger, debating getting a censorship patch or not, or maybe if Fallout: London is out before I finish Elden Ring I will go for that, we will see.

Void Stranger is hard.

elder scrolls online. it’s the only mmo i have actually enjoyed. ive been trading a lot and making a ton of gold

Doing my NG1 victory lap in Elden Ring, and learning to fly fpv drones with Liftoff.

I was getting my ass beat by Fear & Hunger earlier, might get back to that this evening. It's really interesting so far even if the learning curve is a bit too steep for my liking.

Just finished the Elden Ring DLC last night, one day short of a month since release.

My original plan was just to get a character to the DLC, then finish the DLC and quit. But I ended up 100% clearing my save (killed every boss in base game + DLC), and now I'm going to get the last 3 Steam achievements in my NG+.

I wanted to play Victoria 3 but its too hot in my house shit will overheat, then in winter I do 60hr weeks, so I can't really game. I'm playing Undertale right now, lol my reflexes suck so bad, if I played Doom or something I'd get pwnt.

Might try to actually get somewhere in SDV next maybe, or play nostalgia ridden old games on dosbox since that's light in summer, usually.

SD card for my handheld with all the roms and saves seems to have got corrupted oh well

This week I had unlocked all the characters in Bushido blade 2

A bit more no man's sky (day 1 save) earlier while waiting for the washing machine to finish and getting on with my day, marvelling at the new features and hoping the next expedition drops soon 🤞

I wanted to play some games, but instead, I sat down and wrote the foundation of my setting's lore. It was just a short historical write-up, and I did it in a bit over 2 hours. At least it's a first draft.

Replaying that recent Hitman trilogy. SOSA, but only so I can have 47 do his assassin shit in a clown outfit.

After sitting on it for years, I've finally gotten back into Where the Water Tastes Like Wine. Great, slow-paced game that starts to logarithmically ramp up. I need a special kinda burnout to engage with it, since the music in it often has me dropping out of it to pick my banjo.

Probably more of my pant-less run of Disco Elysium

Also I have an original XBox that is modded. There's a hard drive inside with a bunch of "legal game backups" and other useful things. I was wondering if I can pull it out, hook it up to a PC externally and pull those files off the drive without any extra steps? Then I could gut the console and possibly use it as a custom mini PC case 🤔

I'm late, but I started playing Fire Emblem Blazing Blade and I have been enjoying it so far. It's a bit dated and rough for things like dialogue, but for a 2003 GBA game I'm impressed with the level of detail in the animations and the art that appears sometimes when characters are talking. I was surprised that they could make it look as good as it does with how many pixels are on screen.

Still playing Trails into Reverie and just cracked 105 hours lol. Should be able to finish it up this week.

I picked up a bunch of games on the recent PSN sale. Some boomer shooters Prodeus, Project Warlock, Metal: Hellsinger. Bought Bug Fables. Got the The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures too. Probably gonna start the original AA trilogy just in time for the Edgeworth collection.

Just played a bit of Helldivers 2 after a couple months hiatus. Also played a bit of Still Wakes the Deep and Nobody Wants to Die.

I finished my first HK rando run yesterday, clocking in at 5h 46m. Feels slow, I'm sure I can improve that time. It didn't help that this seed was stingy with giving me claw. It's such an essential early game traversal item that it threw me off not having it. OTOH I'm surprised where I can get without it.

Elden Ring with a friend who's new to the series in coop, having a pretty good time. I'm using a mod to cheat so that every time I get a new weapon drop I add a random weapon from the DLC instead. The stat requirements are so high lol this was a bad idea.

Balatro. I love the ghost deck, I love gambling, delete all jokers and fuck myself over for a 1:20 chance something good happens? Don't mind if I do!

Death Must Die and the Vampire Survivors Amogus DLC. DMD is another Vampire-like with aiming. I don't want to aim! I just want to vibe! Also procedurally generated infinite map which imo is lame. The Amogus DLC meanwhile really suffers from being best played on the one new map, which gets old pretty quick. Some neat ideas, probably worth the $2.50.

Snowrunner because big trucks are cool af 😎😎

i've started viewfinder, nice puzzler, will probably finish it tomorrow. i'm also gonna play rain world for the first time.

I started playing WoW again (I was clean for 6 years). Surprisingly the game is still fun even if more soulless than its past iterations. The MoP remix event is also really fun, my Nightborne Warlock is completely overpowered now

Still enjoying Unicorn Overlord! Just making little bits of progress here and there.

I also started playing Dome Keeper. I think I like the mining portions a lot better than the tower defense bits. Yes, I played Motherload a lot more than the little tower defense flash games lol
