Hey folks, what is everyone playing this week? Are you trying something new or returning to a previously played game or genre? How are you liking what you’re currently playing?

I’ve been playing Factorio… Help
This one scares me for sure haha
It’s no big deal. You just play until you realize you made some critical mistake at the beginning, and decide to just yeet a 140 hour campaign so you can fix the problem on the next go around…
I’m okay… I swear…help
Been on parental leave, for a couple of days. I hooked up the PC to the living room TV and I’ve been casually playing No Man’s Sky. It’s utterly cathartic to fly around space with a 5 day old sleeping, his chest on my belly.
Hey, congrats. Ours is due early next year so I’ll be doing similar
Thanks! It’s my second, the other is 6yo now. It brings me back to my first parental leave - I played through The Witcher III with my first sleeping on my belly in a similar manner haha
Congratulations to you and the mom!
Nice! How do you like No Man’s Sky? I’ve heard it’s much better now than when it was released
Can’t speak for your interests obviously, but good enough for me spending a good chunk of 10h on it in the last 2 days. I’m a huge space nerd though, so the interstellar travel alone is worth it for me. The storyline is mostly a pretense for exploring, trade, mining stuff, which I don’t mind at all given how pretty it can be. I also really like playing alone lol. I don’t know how long it’ll stick, but it’s scratching an itch for the time being!
Just finished the main quest in Horizon Zero Dawn. Looking forward to the frozen wilds next.

Back into Monster Hunter: World on PC! There’s still a small community of players filling up the servers, and it’s been fun.
Replaying Grim Dawn for the nth time, finishing the main campaign and then heading into the DLCs. After that, I’m not sure.
Civ V with Vox Populi overhaul mod
Project zomboid. It’s crazy how deep the game is and the mods make it even cooler
Baldur’s Gate 3, I’ve been playing it since it came out and I’m only on my 2nd playthrough. Looking forward to my 3rd playthrough, hopefully by that time I’ll have the heart to be able to play an evil Dark Urge run.
Apart from my usual rounds of Fortnite and casual Cities Skylines, I’ve been re-enjoying Office Jerk on iOS again and got a few laughs out of it 😁
I haven’t heard of Office Jerk, what’s that about?
You throw stuff at your colleague, but there’s a fan producing wind influencing the direction for each throw. You have some objectives to do, like getting him to pull a pencil out of his ears or swallowing a phone. It’s a rather short game but it is funny.
That sounds like fun and good way to chill after a long day.
I just finished Cassette Beasts, which was pretty good. I picked it up during the last sale not knowing if I’d like it since I’ve never been a huge Pokemon fan, and surprisingly really got into it.
I also started playing Toca Race Driver 2 since I’ve been itching to play a new (to me) simcade racer after the new Forza Motorsport bombed. It holds up really well and it’s fun seeing where the GRID series started. It’s also depressing how little the racing genre has progressed in 20 years. I’ll probably start Toca 3 immediately after finishing this one.
Not super old, but I’m working through Borderlands 3. I’m also playing through some old-ish games with my 9 y.o. like Portal 2, Supraland, Spyro remastered in an effort to change up his usual Fortnite/Minecraft/Roblox.
Just started Dragon Age Origins, I’m still at the tutorial level but it looks like a game I’d enjoy.
This is another one I’ve been meaning to play but I haven’t had the energy to start it and really enjoy it
A lot of Kingdom Rush Origins. Working on beating the campaign on impossible. I definitely recommend it if you are a fan of tower defense games.
I’ve been playing Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen for the first time. This is my first experience with the Dragon Quest series, and my way of dipping my toes into JRPGs. I’ve completed the first two chapters and I’m enjoying it so far. It’s pretty straight forward gameplay and doesn’t require much thinking. The story isn’t exactly riveting yet. The translation is a bit rough, but that makes it kind of humorous. Thankfully it’s still easy to follow what the characters are saying. I’m not seeing much replay value in this one though.
