I’ve been driving trains, learning how to build a medieval town and killing a bunch of zombies in Bel Air. How about you?
Finally diving into Octopath Traveler 2.
Also played some good old Team Fortress 2.
Haven’t played yet but soon probably some hilarious lobbies of Lethal Company
I really liked OP2. It felt like a more polished version of the original, and the music was amazing. The boat mechanic and day/night cycle really helped expand the world.
No break for me but I’ve been doing “old dog, new tricks” by picking up some SMW Kaizo. I’m four exits out of seven in Shell’s Retriever so far. I think I’m doing fair for only being a couple weeks into playing romhacks and for last playing SMW in the 90s. I don’t think I’ll ever get around to “Baron of Shell” or any other crazy hard hacks but it has been fun working on a few of the “easy” ones.
I’ll probably get back to Factorio after I finish Retriever. Possibly not until after the sequel, Shell’s Redeemer, but I’ve previewed it and it looks substantially tougher.
I only played one game, but it has been great: Tunic.
During what break? Xmas?
Ye kids get breaks
Factorio Minecraft and rimworld
But that’s been the same for last few years so shrugs
Got expedition 33 running on the steam deck (with some amount of tweaking to make it run smooth - valve should not be marking that game as verified) and it has absorbed every moment of free time I have. Fully understand the hype now. Apart from that, Outer Wilds had been sitting in my library since the summer sale untouched and I’ve finally gotten into it, and Dispatch was really fun and beautifully animated.
Ultimate chicken horse with the GF BF6/HD2 with the boys Slay the Spire when I have nothing I wanna do
Finishing old games for me:
- Opus Magnum
- Mages of Mystralia
- Trying (and failing) to beat the attack helicopter level in Teardown.
Opus Magnum
That game scratches my brain in such a satisfying way
I’ve been playing through the Halo series again
I’ve been playing mega bonk. It’s very addicting and fun
Same, it’s a nice expansion on the vampire survivors formula
WoW Classic and Megabonk - both on the Steam Deck - have been a great holiday time sink.
official classic or a private server?
I play on the official anniversary classic servers. The average player age is 30+ and its amazing.
Bitcraft Online, Outer Worlds 2 and Palia. im in my cosy crafty era lol
divinity original sin 2: definitive edition(I have to say the full thing every time, so it annoys my partner.)
diddy kong racing (craving chunky bright colored polygons, and racist charicatures flying on carpets gifting golden balloons)
and super mario world. (mandatory)
Ball X Pit. Just bouncing my baby balls all over the place is the best.
That game is insidious. I started it one day, played six or seven hours a day for a week, hit 30ish hours, and beat the game. I couldn’t do anything else. I was so sucked in. Great game!
Haha, I did the same exact thing. I stopped after I realized it has seemingly infinite NG+
It’s perfect for the Steamdeck.
My latest obsession.
Shooting shapes in Sektori, a stunningly good arcade twin-stick, bashing dragon toes and playing bells in Guild Wars 2, a fun ARPG-MMO where we recently added a few more dress-up dolls to our roster just because we play a lot and like a few more ways to play, and third, mowing down hallways full of bugs in Combat Complex, a top-down shooter ARPG that’s weak on the ARPG aspects but the shooter side manages to feel like a great arcade twin-stick, plus some neat enemy-enemy friendly-fire mechanics.
Much more the first two than the third, as CC is good but it’s in early access and they recently changed and botched the progression, so playing right now at my level/floor is basically worthless, and I just have to hope they eventually do something to fix it.
Sektori, though, is seriously good.
