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 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.
Oh man, Commander Keen! One of the first games I actually owned.
I’ve been playing a bit of TotK, and also recently pulled out my GB pocket and started playing my old copy of Pokemon Red.
I never owned commander keen until recently. So I would just play that shareware episode back in the day.
I got the shareware version from my cousin, it was all I played for months, got the full version for my birthday!
Can’t seem to stop playing factorio, send help.
The factory must expand.

The factory must expand.
You still on vanilla, or have you started diving into Greg’s mods?
Still vanilla. I’ve only just started using logistic bots properly, converting the factory from centralised to modular production. I’ll give mods a try sometime soon but there’s so much possibility for expansion in the base game, who knows how long it’ll take.
At 1600 hours I’m just a beginner, but this game is so great.
<insert rookie numbers meme here>
more like cracktorio
Y’all got any more of that throughput?
Ugh I know the day I start Factorio is the day my life as I know it ends… not sure if I’m dreading it or looking forward to it
I installed the Space Exploration and Krastorio 2 mods and I haven’t even gotten to space yet on my year old save lol. It’s like Factorio x3 in difficulty.
Space exp seems pretty amazing. Before factorio I was mostly pouring time into dyson sphere program, it’s strangely similar.
I haven’t seen anyone mention fighting games yet so I guess I’m going first. Will probably grind Guilty Gear Strive this weekend, as I don’t have much free time for longer gaming sessions and every set is like 3-5 minutes each at most. I’ll also try to get back into Dragon Age: Origins, if time permits.
Speaking of fighting games, I’m also interested in getting Street Fighter 6, as a friend I frequently play against got it, but I just can’t justify paying 60€ for a game nowadays. I have so many other games on my backlog that I’d rather wait for a sale. But I played the open beta and really liked it a lot. The game feels more fluid than 5 and the new Drive mechanic feels way better than the previous V mechanic.
I’ve been mainlining Zelda TotK since it came out and now I’m going to mainline SF6. I was a big fan of SFV. I’m going to have to split my time between the 2 somehow.
I feel your pain. That’s also why I’m holding out on buying it now. Aside from none of my mains being in the game (yet).

Oh yeah, definitely feels like it. And here’s hoping the new World Tour mode will bring in a ton of new players.

Civ 5…I have a habit of not actually finishing a game, so I’m trying to push myself through a complete game.
I just finished a Civ 5 relapse (can’t get 6 to run), so I’m on the new system shock right now.
I highly recommend it. It is both very faithful and much more accessible. More than anything, it perfectly captures the feeling of playing the first game, where it seems that you’re just a pest, scurrying around this huge structure trying to defeat something so far beyond you it seems like a mouse trying to kill a whale.
Cyberspace is…kinda boring though TBH. Its faithful, but…meh. I’d recommend playing at 3 combat, 2 puzzles, and 1 cyberspace for a first run.
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.
I’ve been playing a lot of the Medieval Madness and Han Solo tables in Pinball FX3 on my steam deck. Set up the gyro to allow me to nudge the table and it’s really helping me get high scores
I’ve been focusing most of my game time on Persona 5 Royal. It is really great. Over the weekend I played the Quarry with my family and wrapped up Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart.
Currently playing Boltgun. Getting close to finishing the 2nd episode.
How do you like it? The game looks awesome from what I’ve seen.
It’s pretty good. The weapons feel and sound great.
I’m trying to decide between Dredge, Inscryption, or one of my many other games on Xbox/Steam Deck…
Damn indecision and having too many games to play :(
I’ve been playing tears of the kingdom in small spurts and the System shock remake.

I’ve set myself a challenge to play one game for 6 months. I was jumping around games a lot and barely playing anything properly. I remember when I was younger I’d get a game for my birthday and Christmas which were 6 months apart, so I basically played one game only for half a year. Now it’s too easy to just buy and download games and switch between them.
So at the moment I’m playing ESO until October. It’s far from the best game ever, but the amount of content is insane. And I love Elder Scrolls.
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.
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.
