I've been playing Factorio... Help

- Don't worry, they'll be releasing the expansion soon. The factory must grow.

  I'm so excited for the multi level trains. They would help me so much

- 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

I'm playing Fallout New Vegas properly for the first time. Started not too long after Starfield released and I've been really enjoying myself

11
- Excellent choice! I wish I could experience FNV for the first time all over again, it's so good. Got any idea which factions you want to align with?

  So I already got the chip to Mr House. I put up with NCR I suppose. But I do enjoy the Boomers

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.

Star Wars: Republic Commando. Hell yeah

7
- Really wished this got a sequel. Awesome take on the universe and I miss squad based single player games like that.
  
  4
Replaying Grim Dawn for the nth time, finishing the main campaign and then heading into the DLCs. After that, I'm not sure.

6
The Resident Evil 2 remake. It's pretty awesome honestly. I'm actually pretty surprised how good it is. It's easily my favorite RE game behind the original release of RE4.

6
Project zomboid. It's crazy how deep the game is and the mods make it even cooler

6
Civ V with Vox Populi overhaul mod

Back into Monster Hunter: World on PC! There’s still a small community of players filling up the servers, and it’s been fun.

6
Just started Dragon Age Origins, I'm still at the tutorial level but it looks like a game I'd enjoy.

5
- This is another one I've been meaning to play but I haven't had the energy to start it and really enjoy it

- The Division 2 is a solid looter shooter and cover shooter, no cope necessary.

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.

5
Space Station 14

5
Picked up Skyrim Special Edition for PS4 used a while back for $5. I got the free upgrade to the PS5 version and have been playing Skyrim with my son for his first time. I am enjoying playing it again with better graphics, and he's loving seeing it for the first time.

5
- If I ever get back around to it I'd like to make a melee character. Seems like that would really up the challenge while fighting dragons

Grey Goo and Satisfactory.

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.

4
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.

4
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.

4
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 😁

4
- 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.

No man’s sky Disney Dreamlight valley Cult of the lamb.

Remnant 2. Still haven't got every item.

Just finished Cacoon pretty looking easy puzzle game followed by Heretics Fork

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.

3
Just finished the main storyline for Pokemon infinite fusion. Great game, highly recommend. There are a lot of custom sprites for fused Pokemon so the product end up looking pretty goofy/creepy/cool/cute/weird depending on which Pokemon is head and body.

Next up is probably going to cyberpunk 2077 or Nier Replicant.

Core Keeper with a friend mostly

3
I'm playing Witcher 3: Blood & Wine, Dragon's Dogma and Tunic.

3
- Damn, that's a lot of adventuring! How's Tunic? I've never heard of it

  It’s a bit of a souls-Zelda-like. It’s quite nice, especially because nothing gets directly explained.
  
  2
It being currently reduced by 50% made me finally pick up "Return of the Obra Dinn" and I love it

3
NFS Heat and Kaze and the Wild Masks. Both games are fun enough but not my favs.

2
I'm on New Game+ on ME: Andromeda, casually going through Forza Horizon 4, forever playing American Truck Simulator when I get the chance.

After hearing the release of Ac mirage, I replayed the og AC. Its quite fun, but some things didn't age well (like the blue filter on the game).

Its funny how in "returning to roots" they took the worst parts of the game, the investigations. Which could work, but finishing thw tatget them 5 mins after meeting them is not great for characterization. The idea of doing more sidequest means more info for the finale of the chapter is nice, but most of the infos are really trivial, like "Guard gonna close the castle gate after alert" or that the scolars can get past the guard, which is the main way of getting into the city itself, and is also tutoriaized.

Theres some dumb shit you can do, my favorites were synchronizing while hunted, and the guards just stand around you on the roofs, dumbfounded, or fooling around in combat and realizing the hidden blade can instakill even after alerted, if they are on the ground or you are behind them. So its possible to run aroun 6 guards and backstab them one by one.

Into the Breach. Best Mech strategy game out there.

2
- Oh man ITB and FTL are my comfoet games

Had to hit pause on it this week, but recently I have been working through Final Fantasy IX, the PC remaster on Steam w/ Moguri Mod. Started my playthrough in early September, and I just got the boat and entered the grindy minigame hell portion of the game.

2
God of War (2022 pc), and I picked up Elden Ring and Obra Dinn on sale so they are next.

2
Jump Ultimate Stars online!

TF2, the greatest game ever made.

1
- A classic. I never was very good at it but I always enjoyed it

Just got around to beating Titanfall 2 for the first time. It was a great plaaythrough, and not that long at all. You can beat it in under 8 hours, no problem. I think it took me 6 or 7 hours. Def recommended if you're into scifi shooters with mechs and kick-ass set pieces.
