Whatcha all been playing! I got the itch for outer wilds again, which I can’t really play anymore (😭)
So I decided to start a game I’ve wanted to play for a while that I thought could scratch a similar itch: ghost trick phantom detective. It’s really good!
Out of nowhere, I had the sudden urge to play New Vegas again, so that’s been taking up my time. Been enjoying a more Vanilla+ playthrough, just the patches to help it run better. And Someguys quest mods, but they fit right in to me. Still haven’t made my way onto The Strip, though I’ve cleared Boone’s quest and I’m working on Veronica’s(with E-DE in tow, of course).
It’s been awhile for me, been a nice revisit. Just taking my time, and really enjoying all the little rediscoveries I’ve been making.
Funny you mention Outer Wilds. I just recently finished Outer Wilds (first time), and so this week(end), I’ve been playing through the Echoes of the Eye portion. Really enjoying it. 😄
Yessss!! Everyone needs to play the game ༼ つ ◕‿◕ ༽つ
I’ve been watching streamers I like playing it so I can relive it in some small way
I’m playing some Path of Exile again, I’ve been having pretty good time with the Necropolis league
Dead cells. Never played it before, it’s hard but fun. Runs great on the Steam Deck.
That one was recommended to me in my search for a satisfying mobile game. Didn’t look into it much. Does it have mtx?
No microtransactions, although it does have DLC’s. There are some doors you can’t pass through unless you buy those, which is a little annoying but you always have another option. I do think it’s better played with a controller though since the action can be very fast paced.
Still on Dragon’s Dogma 2. (at 94 hours of playtime)
I’m still finding new places around every corner. It’s got a ton of fun stuff to discover if you like open-world games.
Splatoon 1 on Pretendo! Got my Wii U hooked up earlier this week after the official servers shut down.
Nice! I got pretendo set up too. Mainly to play Mario maker though. It’s an awesome service
Recently started Rise of the Tomb Raider, still at the main menu adjusting settings. My PC is a little crap so I gotta take a hit in performance and graphics
Specs: R5 430 Core i3-2120 10gb RAM
Yakuza Like a Dragon.
It’s not Yakuza 0, that game was so much fun, the minigames were more interactive, and it only felt like a grind when shaking down Mr Shakedown, then putting money into upgrades.
Like a Dragon just feels slower, and more grinding. Story is cool, substories are amazing. But the minigames are less entertaining, and business management is as bad as Kiryus one.
I miss the cabaret so much
Oxygen Not Included. I really like this game eventhough I’ll probably never beat it.
new rimworld DLC came out and that has taken up all my time. I’ve got to admit I had a few doubts about this one compared to the others, but sure enough they did it again and made an absolute banger of an expansion and now I have to sink another couple hundred hours…
Flipwitch: Forbidden Sex Hex :D
Very horny and actually pretty decent metroidvania, lots of jiggly titties
Immortals Fenyx Rising.
Feels a lot like Ubisoft still don’t understand the appeal of BotW vs their usual icon vomit on a map, but the gameplay and traversal are decent.
I just got a PS5 a couple weeks ago, after almost a decade of not having a console since my PS3 died. Playing GT7 as my one and only; I grew up on Gran Turismo since GT3. Actually just got all gold on the licenses last night, so feeling pretty accomplished haha. Pretty hard to find time with a newborn and a toddler!
Been obsessed with Crusader Kings 3 lately. I love how dynamic the game is
I’m getting super close to finishing cyberpunk 2077. I said that last week when I was at like 80 or so hours. But uhh 100 hours in now and I swear I’m really close this time lol.
I really wish they hadn’t released the game so early and hadn’t released so much advertising hype about the game. If the game released in a functional state I think it would have had the complete opposite reception.
If they were to have released the game this January or something and only advertised what is actually in the game, people would likely be praising it left and right. I thought the writing and quest design was a breath of fresh air. I loved how the game gave you agency to make your own decisions and made you think about the implications of all of your actions. Even if many of the decisions didn’t directly matter in the grand scheme of things, it allowed you to roleplay and at least feel like you were staying true to how your character would react in different situations.
I liked how there were so many twists and turns during the quests. Overall it felt like I was playing a completely different game compared to the couple hours I had tried at launch.
Edit: side note, Outer wilds is so good. Give it 5 years and maybe you’ll forget some of it lol!
My first playthrough clocked in around 200 hours. Now, I still do almost everything but it’s faster. Only 150 hours now… About to wrap up playthrough number 5. And I’ll probably be coming back in a year for 6.
Can’t get into outer wilds though. Feel like I’m 50-60% through the game and I have no idea when or how to go where I think I need to. Took a break to play CP2077 run #4 and look where that got me

Cyberpunk 2077 (Pyramid Song mission)
Exactly my thoughts after my actions left Judy leave Night city. Should not have killed Maiko. Made me wonder whether could I have saved Takamura too.
