My corporate overlords decided I get some vacation during this time of year, it being the holidays and all that. With some free days on my hands I'm planning to mess around with a couple games.
First up is Millennia a 4X game kinda like Civ. The twist is there are different ages that go off the rails from real history—so you can get a steampunk age or one where aliens invade and stuff like that. I barely touched it when it came out but now, after 7 updates, I figure I will give it a proper try.
Then theres Songs of Conquest, an indie game with amazing pixel art that’s sorta like the old Heroes of Might and Magic games- I might play this with a friend early next year as well.
EDIT: OK im feeling a bit tired so Im just gonna play my current Crusader Kings 3 save till I go 2 bed. Happy Holidays everyone
What are the fine folks on Hexbear playing 
Loaded up my Valheim world the other night so I could decorate my longhouse with wreaths and yule trees but I still had all the yule stuff I put down last time I played so I just did other stuff
Been doing a lot of Valheim too, started a big mod world and am having a blast with some of the procedurally generated quests from the mods. Valheim is one of those games that has a lot of good bones, but IMO fails to reinforce its best gameplay loops and falls into a trap of escalating difficulty in kinda dumb ways.
