    I have Fallout New Vegas loaded up with the Viva New Vegas modlist, playing as a cowboy with no points put into stealth and going into repair, guns, meele and explosives instead. It’s a bit harder than normal New Vegas, but so fun and comforting.

    Not playing yet, but I’m preparing for Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. I’m not gonna make my own builds, since I have basically no idea about PF or which of the thousands of feats, spells, whatever are good. There’s not a lot of info about this out there, or it’s outdated, so I’m compiling stuff in a spreadsheet, so I have easy access to everything.

    • Fermi Paradox - returned to check he the game was going anywhere
    • Brotato - needed a time waster that you can pick up and put down in seconds (Steam Deck)

    Dread Delusion!

    The game truly feels like Morrowind at times, like others have said.

    I miss games with rich lore like this so much

      There are a handful of games out there that have tried to do some aspects of an Elder Scrolls game without doing the other parts badly. Dread Delusion is very much an exploration game, and it excels at that.

    I’ve been spending a little more time with Forever Winter.

    Its very definitely early access; not the bullshit “We’re releasing the game, but calling it early access so you can’t complain about any bugs you find” stuff you get now but actual real old school Minecraft style early access where you’re basically getting alpha builds straight from the developer.

    That said, it’s in much better shape than it was when I first looked into it (maybe a year ago?). Game is really fun to play, unbelievably tense, but without being too punishing. I think they’re really starting to zero in on that Dark Souls sweet spot where dying sucks, but not in a way that actually sets you back all that much. The stealth gameplay feels good, and getting out with a haul of loot is intensely satisfying.

    Plus the art design is unbelievably good.

    Death’s Door on switch. It’s a cute little soulslike where you play a crow who reaps souls. It has good gameplay and a nice style.

      I enjoyed this one a lot, but I eventually got stuck on a yeti boss, and quit.

      It felt like his next move was somewhat randomized, and you needed to react in much less than a second to the type of move he was doing. While a lot of bosses develop patterns you can get used to, I couldn’t form any rules in my mind that could account for my reflexes not improving.

        Yeahh always felt like that boss was a major difficulty spike, next two bosses are even harder when in comparison the past bosses were cakewalks 🫤

    I’ve basically been marathoning Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. It’s hard to state just how much improved from the original game without writing a book, but the highlights are that combat is way better, the stealth is way better, the mission designs largely don’t ask you to do anything tedious for the sake of “immersion” without something interesting happening along the way, and they do a better job of recording everything you need to know about a quest in your journal this time around, while signaling the things that they won’t. I’m having a hard time putting the game down. It’s Witcher 3 levels of “every side quest is interesting”, and the game gives you a lot of freedom. My alchemy skill is now maxed out, and there’s basically no problem I can’t solve with potions. So far, this is the best game I’ve played this year.

    I finally picked up Stray!

    Literally just started that a few minutes ago actually. Really good first impressions. The cats are very realistic. So much so my dogs were having just as much fun as I was watching me play haha.

    the original half life. I decided to load games onto my deck smallest to largest. Playing ones that held my interest and kicking off others. It can only hold like 3 or 4 latest triple A type games so I figures I would just have like two on their and use the rest of the space to have a greater variety of games.

      I’ve got a 3.5 TB hard drive that mostly holds video files and stuff, and there’s at least 1.5TB free at this point. When you’re playing games that predate solid state drives, that may as well be infinite space.

      It’s worth it! I am still chipping away at Expedition 33 as well. I’m in the endgame portion now but just don’t have a lot of time to game at the moment. I’d like to eventually do NG+ and 100% everything.

      I hope you are not as sentimental as I am, or you may need to check your Kleenex reserve.
