    I can’t really check my overall playtime but once again I’m being sucked in by Minecraft.

    As a teenager it was my default game and if I could see my playtime I recon it’s 5 times higher than my next biggest game which was Skyrim at about 500 hours across both editions. When I was a teen, I’d adored how I could just get lost in this peaceful, lonely world.

    For the last 6 years, I’ve been trying to play more innovative indie games that I can broaden my love for the medium, but every now and again I yearn for the mines. It’s basically the only game I can enjoy after day of work too.

      Any interest in playing with another player? I’m looking for a server currently, and would be interested in playing with some fellow Lemmings.

    Infinifactory. I always get the free Epic games and take them for a little spin, but this game is way more interesting than I expected! It’s a level-based puzzle game where you make automated factory lines.

    I was blown away when I beat the campaign and the second campaign unlocked. 10/10

    Playing the waiting game to see if Helldivers 2 manages not to fumble the bag and becomes my no-life addiction again

    I’m playing Skyrim. Kind of. 5 days in to rebuilding my mod list since playing last year.

    I recently got Demon’s Souls up and running on my Steam Deck, it ran so well and I got totally absorbed in it playing it once through with the Blueblood sword.

    This got me in the mood for more Souls-likes, so I just finished off The Surge 2.

    It’s a better game than the first, more interesting combat, but suffers from similar issues to the first in long travel times, sometimes confusing level design and sometimes the combat can be frustrating.

    Shining Force II for the Sega Genesis! I’m not very far into it yet, but it’s a good old classic JRPG.

    • Yakuza 0 – doing the real estate thing as Kiryu; already beat two Kings
    • Lunacid – the atmosphere is amazing, but this game desperately needs a pause button

    Also about to try Factorio once again

    Last time I tried it I found it nice, but overwhelming and without much incentive to continue playing it. Maybe this time this changes

      Fancy that.

      I’m going through Yakuza Kiwami at the moment, hoping to maybe finish it over the weekend and then start number 2.

      Hoping to have Granblue Fantasy Relink next week. Wasn’t able to secure a copy due to low stock.

    I’ve been replaying Loop Hero on the Deck. I never finished it the first time but now I can do a few loops before bed.

    Other than that I’ve also been playing a heavily modded Project Zomboid. Working on building a base to fend off enemy bandit NPCs and zombies. Having to fight something that can shoot back at you has given the game new life.

      I had a good time with Loop Hero for a while, a few months after it came out. Ultimately stopped running it because it felt like I was never able to pivot mid-run if I found a great drop. Had a “what’s the point of the randomness then?” thought after that and it broke the spell for me. Don’t know if they ever made any changes along those lines.

    I’ve been trying to get into the Borderlands games, since surprisingly I’ve never played them (though I’ve played games that my friends have told me are “spiritual successors” to the BL games, such as Destiny). Though, I am getting stuck at the first bosses for BL1 and 2 haha.

    I’ve been playing Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew and have been having a blast so far. It’s a little like a cross between a MOBA style game and Metal Gear set in the Caribbean and you basically play as the undead Barbarossa pirates as they quietly murder their way through a mission.
