Lately I’ve just been playing FTL & Stardew Valley on an old Linux machine.
I intend on playing New Vegas soon, with the intention of finishing it before Fallout Season 2.
Been playing Pacific Drive. It’s a survival horror(ish) game where you drive through Western Washington in an abandoned government experiment paranormal area that is always changing. And you get to drive a 1960’s station wagon, and make repairs and build new parts. Pretty fun so far. (and intense)
The wagon seems much more 80s to me than 60s. Great game tho!
Snap I’m about to go to the innermost zone. Really enjoying it so far. The vibes are great. It’s mostly chill with some intense oh god I’m going to die moments mixed in.
I got addicted to Factorio. Its such a cool game. Its really satisfying seeing your production grow. However, it takes some time to get used to the “think big” mindset and creating new factories does take some time but its very rewarding once you made it.
After playing through elden ring (twice), I decided to give dark souls 3 a go. So far, is good, would recommend
I’m playing Final Fantasy Tactics for the first time. I hear it’s the best or so in it’s genre. Can’t wait!
I got into farming sims after the recent Stardew Valley update and am playing Fields of Mistria (already great!) as well as Rune Factory 4 (it‘s fine, I guess… didn‘t hold up too well IMO, mainly because of its scuffed 3D graphics instead of pixel art).
I‘ve also completed the Frog Detective trilogy - a series of very easy, short, and quirky mystery games - and I can absolutely recommend it.
I started playing warframe with friends and it’s great. I also play cyberpunk occasionally, as well as Morrowind with the openMW overhaul
Shadows of Doubt! Its this sci fi noire game where you play as a cop that became a private eye detective. Their police force was replaced with privatized “enforcers” that uphold the policy of the new corporate government.
You solve crimes the enforcers won’t and take on side jobs to stay alive, upgrade your apartment and build enough social credit to retire to “the fields”- a suspiciously utopian retriement zone far away from the grime, storms and thick smog of the city.
This is an immersive sim. Kind of like a procedurally generated Deus Ex. You can interact with a lot of stuff turn on sinks, open cabinets, read email and newspapers, eat food, watch tv and drink alcohol until you can barely stand.
When it comes to solving crime you can sift through camera footage, take fingerprints, crawl through air ducts, ask people for information, hack into govt databases and more. You put all of the clues on a big conspiracy board in the menu until you find the murderer and bring them in…before they kill again.
Doom is almost always my answer. Especially with the fresh Nightdive rerelease!
Anyway I’ve been playing EDF5 again online, and Kaido Racer on the PS2, a lovely street racing game about the mountain roads of Japan.
