DMC 1, GTFO and Valhiem, got a nice mix going for now
Nubbys number factory, Soulcalibur, Peak and REPO.
I currently have my left thumb in a splint from surgery so have struggled to play a lot of games. Thankfully with peak and repo, I’m willing to go through the awkwardness to play them with friends and they can help me if I’m finding it too much for something specific. (More so with repo since with peak, i would just instead die, but that’s fine).
I’m usually a controller gamer so I’ve had to readjust back to keyboard and mouse but without the use of a space bar. Sometimes when i can be arsed I get a disability HID set of pedals to use as space, ctrl and shift but sometimes i can get away with binding space to a mouse button.
Last few weeks I played through absolum using my new fight stick which has been a godsend for paying games with my temporary disability. I can cup the stick’s ball like a wine glass and never have to use my thumb. So for some games I’ve even rebinded them fully with the stick. I even played peak a few times with arcade stick for the left hand, mouse with the right hand and pedals for jumping. Its been easier with the previous method i mentioned but that also required me to work up to since for a while my thumb was in the way of my index finger to use a keyboard with.
Sorry for the wall of text. Hopefully someone will find my rambles interesting.
Donkey Kong Bananza. Finally getting around to it.
Took my buddy out for a round of Planet Crafters for some chill terraforming, did some co-op RE6 with ‘em, and then gave StarRupture a try - pretty good so far! :) Will see how co-op is, but when you want combat and some Satisfactory-esque automation it’s been hitting so far!
I haven’t played Planet Crafter in a while (just looked it up and Nov 2023 was the last time). I think it was still early access. How has the gameplay evolved? I think I saw an update where you can eventually go to another moon or planet? I might fire it up once I get through Timberborn, hopefully my trusty 1060 can still spare a few FPS
Minecraft, only Minecraft.
Recently got back into it after discovering luanti and voxelibre. Started a server with a couple friends. Like the good old days :,)
Been on a real 7 Days to Die kick lately. Good game to just turn my brain off for a bit and farm resources
Warframe. I’ve been at home for almost 4 months already after a nasty car accident and I’ve been looking for a time sink. Warframe got a big update not long ago that make me come back after a while on hiatus. Have to say it’s been a lot of fun.
Empires mod, an old and free game based on the Source game engine.
It is old but still gets updates and balances, its an fps game remiding a bit about old Battlefield but it has one comander per team with rts/base building aspects.
We usually play every Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. Otherwise the game is empty during the week.
Star Ocean: The Second Story, Shinyaku Seiken Densetsu and Mindustry.
I played Crosscode recently. I found it on the profile of someone who had many hours on a game I like.
Things I like:
-
Beautiful beautiful pixel art. Seriously it looks so good 🥺… I wish I could draw like that… or draw at all for that matter
-
Pretty fun combat. It’s top down, melee/shooter thing and there’s this mechanic where you get better loot if you keep a streak of enemies going so it’s fun to go on a rampage starting a fight with everything. Health regens when you end combat. Mobs don’t attack unless you attack them first.
-
Fun puzzles although they get harder and harder
Things I didn’t like:
-
Hard to understand story. It has a video game within the game, so I never really understood what was real and what was part of the game.
-
Single player MMO nature: the world is just hugeeee and there’s so many fetch quests and items you use for trading. I eventually started caring less and less because none of the rewards I’d find through exploring were something I could immediately use. I would have loved it so much more if it was a zelda-like affair with limited dungeons and a smaller world.
-
Difficulty: apparently the puzzles and combat gets too hard later. At least I was told. I never stuck around long enough to see that. I stopped right after the second dungeon.
Hi! Lea!
The dungeons do get really long. I turned the puzzle speed down via the accessibility options are they were much more enjoyable, but I stopped at the same place as you for months/years before coming back and finishing it last year. I’m doing the dlc now but basically doing a puzzle or two and then leaving in for a day or two (now that I think about it, it may be a little longer since I lost picked it up…).
Honestly I didn’t mind the dungeons! More the huge overworld. Endless MMO quests that feel like they don’t matter. And especially the trading system. I’d explore, find something, and not know what to do with it. Not following the story also didn’t help. Anyways I’m not saying MMOs are bad. Just not my thing.
I get what you’re saying. I completely ignored the trading, too, and started skipping some of the side content after turning the difficulty down so I didn’t need to exp from the side quests.

StarCraft, Fortnite, and trails in sky fc
Star Control on Genesis (amazing game. Now I have the other 2 on pc to play later too!)
Crysis 3, Gran turismo 2 on ps1, started Nightfire on ps2 (amazing game as well)
Long term, FF12 on pc ps2 emulator. Its gotten hard now though :/ first FF game ive ever played.
Cat Quest II. It was very fun, very charming, I’d replay it a few years later probably which is something few games get. Don’t tell anybody that but I’m actually a dog person.
StarRupture an Early-Access survival sim/factory builder where the local star is unstable and scorches the planet every now and then, wiping out all objects and creatures but leaving buildings. It’s got a very satisfying gameplay loop if you enjoy games like Satisfactory.
Picked that up this last week as well. It’s good so far.
Baldur’s Gate 3 for the first time
