Putting this in place of @[email protected] 's weekly thread since it's Wednesday so it's late! Title, what are you playing this week?

Made a 3x3 of what I'm currently messing around with to make it easier.

Played a variety of things.

Monster Hunter Rise, finished the base game final boss and continued doing some MR stuff, all solo. The final boss was actually surprisingly tricky solo because it seems to leave you very few openings. Really like that Sunbreak added the AI companions because all of my friends stalled out before the end of HR content.
Halls of Torment, trying to clear the Vault but haven't been able to. Got close on Shieldmaiden but ended up not being able to do enough damage to clear the hordes that were bubble-wrapping the boss and stalled out, then slowly died.
Satisfactory, kinda just playing with a friend when we're both available. Finished all the tech in Phase 2 and now it's just kind of a grind for the completed resources to get to Phase 3. Rather than properly building a factory for the inputs, I'm just manually moving them back and forth between supply crates. Might go for quartz while we wait because I think that's how you get the rollerskates.

Two more were random picks from my backlog:

Orwell, an indie game about being an authoritarian government surveillance employee who uses social media and phone taps to spy on people and frame them for terrorism. Pretty short, the game really suffers from being 5 Chapters where the first 4 are tutorials and the last one is a ramp in difficulty with a time limit. Overall I'd say not great and holds your hand too much.
Dawn of War: Dark Crusade. It's from 2006 and boy does it feel like it; I really need to find a mod I can install to zoom out more and remap keys because the click and drag map scrolling is fucked on modern resolutions and I'd like to use WASD rather than arrow keys. I'm bad at RTS so I started an Eldar campaign on Easy difficulty and completely stomped the SM in my first two battles but then got absolutely destroyed by the Tau when I tried fighting them. Who thought that giving a faction invisible troops as their default unit was a good idea lmao.
