Was playing rogue trader crpg since the second expansion got released
finished a playthrough

so I am now mostly just playing final fantasy tactics on the rg556

it is such a good little device

Persona 1!!!! I've been having a ton of fun playing the psp port on an emulator. The encounters feel a bit much but considering how awesome (once you've done it a few times) shadow negotiation can be it can be a double edged sword since trying to get those shadow skill cards is rough.

I picked up Project Silverfish recently, which is a low-poly, furry STALKER type shooter. Haven't put a lot of time into it but the mood it creates even with just very blocky art is incredible.

A friend of mine gifted me Silverfish and honestly its wild? I never played STALKER before, but I've seen people posting clips and the like. The idea of it is neat and honestly I'm really living for more furry media in general. Like ATLYSS (Itch, Steam) aiming to get those vibes of a MMO from the 00s while also not being a game that'll self-destruct once the dev's done with it.

Lately I've been playing a ton of Darktide, I'm so brainsick about my Reject that I've got whole OCs about it. This game got me into 40k proper and I still can't be paid to care about Space Marines, Some Guy has all my attention.

I have been fully addicted to Mario Kart World lately. I - for one - love the new formula. I still wish more people had what they want from this game. Personally though, "Mario Kart I can just go for a stroll in" is a wonderful time. I missed the Webfishing train and have no friends who would be into it anyway, so MKW scratches that itch for me. And I just love to play with the controls in this game.

I also got way into Splatoon 3 recently. I had never played it but found it new for a good price. The recent festival was also a good motivation to try hard (team Land lost though ) At least I'm better at it than I am at Friends vs Friends...

Finally, I played Citizen Sleeper after getting recommended it by a coworker. Having very little experience with visual novel-type games, I went in not knowing really what to expect but I loved it! I got the bundle with the second one too, but I have yet to try that one. I may report back if I give it a try!

I've recently had the urge to design public transit infrastructure, so I booted up Airport CEO for the first time in a few years.

Sadly, the game never really got finished, and it remains a bit of a poorly optimised, difficult to play (if rather feature rich and feature complete) mess.

Don't suppose anyone knows of any good airport building/simulation games?

Gosh, a forum-wide Webfishing night would be really cool. - Phoebe (it/its)

Personally I'm currently playing through Deltarune from the start. I'm only up to Chapter 2 at this point, but I'm excited to get to and see all the new stuff!

I've also been playing a bunch of Peak and Deceive INC with friends as the go to party games atm! Deceive Inc is very much a dead game that I think would be awful to get into solo, but we've found that with a group of 5-8 folks in a voice call it's a super fun party game :3

I've also been slowly chipping away at UFO50 on the side still, which is an excellent game collection and easily my GOTY for last year

[redacted_cat]

Slowly but surely putting myself in a Kirby journey and won't lie it's kinda nutty getting to experience most of the mainline games finally!

Definitely felt I've slept on it all the time and nowadays it's legit becoming as hype to me as just getting more Metroid stuff played or even finding out new trippy Quake map packs I learn about through random posts~

Silly pink orb got hands and it's just ridiculously entertaining seeing how they keep one-upping the stakes between each new entries. It's just wild to go like 'I wonder what new eldritch abomination is gonna get clapped' with each game lol.
1st one I tried back then was Crystal Shards when I was a kid and can't lie now imo fav/best one has to be Adventure/Nightmare In Dream Land.

Will see how rest of the Amazing Mirror journey will go like! 5 shards in and getting around!

[Kaedal]

I've slowly been making my way through the Director's Cut of Death Stranding. I poured a good few hours into the non-Director's Cut edition, but I never actually finished it. Hopefully this time around I will! At the very least I'm having a blast with it, and I love all the little crossovers from Half-Life and Cyberpunk that are in the game.

I also picked up the Odyssey DLC for Rimworld, which naturally means I've piled a truckload of mods on the game and started getting lost in it again. It remains one of those games where no matter how many hours I pour into it, there's always new challenges and things to do. One settlement getting boring? Start a new one. Mix things up!

[EdenCoven]

okay Psychonauts 2 did not end as badly as I expected though it's a bit "Oh. Okay." so now I am playing Project Ryme by noted cute fox qwarq.io which is a super cool adventure involving silly hacking computering. With games within the game!

[DustStar]

For now, my backlog has me playing both Alan Wake and Crash Bandicoot 2. I'm 2 chapters into Alan Wake and a little over halfway through Crash 2 including getting all the gems.

It's been forever since I played Alan Wake and I got to say I'm surprised how well it holds up both in story and in gameplay.

[Trysdyn]

I've been playing Divinity II: Ego Draconis because someone dropped a patch that fixes... whatever the heck is wrong with that game to make it visually run at 10 FPS on newer hardware.

Ego Draconis is this weird interlude between Larian's Divine Divinity from ages ago, and Divinity: Original Sin. It's a third person Elder Scrolls-like. Sort of. I'd call it more of a "Two Worlds-like" except that carries a pretty negative impression.

But yeah, it also is built in an engine that has some awful, awful issue with it where for 3 PCs now the game's run at ~10FPS and I recently learned someone made a fan patch to fix that so whee.

Slowly but surely putting myself in a Kirby journey and won't lie it's kinda nutty getting to experience most of the mainline games finally!

so excited for your kirby journey!!!! this is a really special series to me, nightmare in dreamland was my first one!! i have to recommend my favorite super star ultra, it takes the original and really improves on it and just looks beautiful as well. (also if you have any interest in the 3ds ones planet robobot is INSANELY good) enjoy and would love to see what you think/your next steps into kirby!!

Oh hell yeah! Oh my god I'm glad I can make you happy with it <3 ! Been going as blind as I can in series and had a friend tell me there's some I just HAVE to play blind as much as I can XD Notably Forgotten Land!
Amazing Mirror's legit insane, been slowly checking here and there with friends which I should play in which order to go through it all so I'm legit testing things around!

Been heavily considering picking Adventure as a potential speedrun game to add to the roster of picks I may have, that game and remakes just left that much a big impression on me XD

Any forms of Super Star have to be played, run of it we did last month just had me being like 'I can't skip any variants of it, it's a repeat playthrough in a way but I'm so doing it'; Super Star and Adventure will have all their incarnations done~

Shoutout to UFO Kirby triggering me singing Gradius music or R-Type music anytime I use it, it activates my brain in many ways

[flatwood]

Cult of the Lamb for like, the umpteenth time. Also got a free copy of Saints Row IV remastered so I'm mucking about with that if I fancy a bit of a PC session. Feels a lot more hollow than 3rd did, can see why they tried to reboot it. I should probably get around to playing that too if I see it around cheap enough, even if it isn't seen so favourably by some.

Cult of the Lamb's good stuff though. Got it for Switch so I can just kick back on the sofa. Works really well as a portable title.

[Loosf]

I kinda really want to start playing mechanicus again.

Yeah I just finished rogue trader and that has a lot of mechanicus vs necron stuff in the end but like

yeag, it is a good game and I am still just doing FFT. I really want to buy the new version of FFT. Maybe next month.

[TimeChaser]

After much prodding from my partner, I gave Of the Devil's free Chapter 0 a go and now I absolutely have to play chapter 1 lol. If you like games like Ace Attorney and Danganronpa, give it a try.

[TheAusSpideyGuy]

Started a playthrough of a game called "The Blue Prince", which a lot of folks have been comparing it Outer Wilds, and as someone who's played Outer Wilds and its DLC, yeah, the comparisons are warranted. It is not exactly like Outer Wilds, but it definitely aspect of "Yeah, you definitely wanna go in this blind as a bat.", so it's hard to talk about it without giving away too much!

The best I can say, it is a Roguelike, puzzle game, and it is so far very good! I am on "Day 3" so far (With a few restarts cause I have a habit of restarting when I feel haven't truly started my playthrough. --w--;), and it does some very clever things, especially with how the roguelike elements come into play. Ya should check it out for yourselves. ::]

[Rex_Dolor]

I'm gonna be playing Chrono Trigger soon! I've had the DS version for several years, but I've never put much time into it. Can't wait to finally experience this game!

[JarylGaren]

kinda started playing Doom 2016, because I got a bunch of the games in the series through the sale that was going on a while back on Steam, and I've been kinda sorta curious about the games.

the game's pretty rad, ngl. I did try to play with keyboard and mouse at first, because I figured that's what you play first person shooters with, but that felt kinda uncomfortable, and once I swapped over to a controller, it felt way more natural for me, tbh.

[Lolo De Puzlo]

Picked up Word Play by Game Maker's Toolkit. It's a Balatro-style take on word games like Boggle where you have a grid of letters and need to hit a point threshold in a number of turns. Basic, but extremely fun! Though, one ding against it is that it doesn't accept the world JABRONI.

[Panda o' Plenty]

I have started OneShot which turned out to be rather hard to setup on Linux. The original Steam version.
Native Linux has outdated libraries and so instantly crashes on startup.
And with Proton some of puzzles near the end won't work. (ah reminds me of some emulation scenes)

So I had to grudginly take out my unholy Bindows HDD and just beat it on that. In OneShot.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaa
eaeaeaea
Niko...

Wow, what an outworldy experience near the end, a

Hidden text.

Also add me to extra content haters club, the one added in later update.

[Critters System]

We recently started playing Against the Storm after picking it up in the Steam Summer Sale, and it's been a whole lot of fun so far! It's a city builder roguelike, and as a result makes the greatest weakness of most city builders to AuDHD nerds like us ("This city is coming together well, but I kinda want to start over and try something new...") one of its strengths. Starting to feel tired of a town? Well, at that point you're probably not that far from winning the round, which means a chance to try something new right away!

Basically, it's a powerful time sink and we're sinking~ -Celia

[Zircus]

I've been chipping away at Ōkami for the first time. It's a lot longer than I anticipated lol.

I grew up on Zelda games, but never had a chance to play this game until recently. I haven't really been all that impressed by any of the puzzles or dungeons yet (made it past the 4th boss now I think?), but it interests me to see how the game tries to do things differently than what I'm used to from LoZ (wait what do you mean Capcom also made a Zelda game wha

Really curious of how the sequel's going to pan out.

[DJAtomika]

I've spent the last two months or so playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and the latest part of the game I got to threw me for several loops.

I love this video game so so much. It's GOTY material for me personally. Art style's gorgeous, music's dope, even the voices are great (you'll hear some familiar ones if you've played Baldur's Gate 3).

Highly recommend if you're into turn-based RPGs like old school Final Fantasy games.
