Factorio Space Age! It was Satisfactory 1.0, but I got distracted πŸ˜…

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Just started Baldur's Gate 3. Never played a CRPG before (does Disco Elysium count?) so it has been quite the learning curve for combat. Pretty stuck in the Underdark, it seems. Looks like I'll have to help out a slavetrader Gekh in order to proceed because I don't think I can defeat him and his buddies...

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

Disco Elysium absolutely counts.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I hope that you're having so much fun with BG3, after I finished it's definitely one of my favorites. The underdark is tough, I wish you good luck.

Thanks :)

What are you playing, bpt11?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

I’ve been doing a replay of Omori

Satisfactory!! 1.0 is great

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Completely agree. It's utterly addictive, and the further you get, more and more fun tech gets unlocked. Been playing it with some friends, and we're all hooked.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I saw that it released but I haven’t checked it out yet, I’ll have to make sure I do

Just reinstalled Satisfactory. Time to finish it for once.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I didn’t even know finishing it was something you could do lol

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

You just have to finish that one last thing...

Metaphor ReFantazio is amazing.

I doesn't look like it needs my help, because it's doing pretty well, but damn, it's good.

Maybe too much anxiety to play a game in which you're running for office in a fantasy land, at least until November, but... yeah, it's bonkers and it's well written and it's by far the most political game the Persona-adjacent studios have ever done in some really fun ways.

Also a triumph of UI. Not only does it look great, it's so frictionless. It's a turn-based JRPG and it plays faster and more smoothly than that abomination of an action game Square tried to pass as a Final Fantasy VII remake by orders of magnitude. Seriously, go play it if you're at all interested in that corner of gaming.

Like a lot of people, Factorio and Satisfactory. Been also playing a bit of Binding of Isaac and DRG. Also watching a friend play Morrowind because I love that game souch

Zelda a link to the past (emulated on pocket snes).

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Just started playing deadlock, valve's new MOBA and I love it. I really hope when it's out of play test they add more champions to play as.

Do tabletop games count? If so, then... Dungeons and Dragons haha. I'm learning the ropes, having fun with it :)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Tabletop games absolutely count! I love D&D, I’m glad you’re having fun!

I took the month of Halloween as an excuse to replay all of Silent Hill and it has been a fantastic experience, very nostalgic. I'm already playing the 4th game and when I finish it I'm going to jump into playing short horror games on Itch.io.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Did you play SH2 remake? If so what did you think?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I wish, what I've seen of it is amazing, but I don't have the money or the specs to do it. πŸ₯²

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I’m in the same boat. I look forward to playing it someday though

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

I've been taking a video game break to play more board games. Zoo Vadis has been a top pick lately and I highly recommend.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Minecraft and dwarf fortress. I may pick up factorios extension if and when I have time

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Almost everyone on Lemmy are huge nerds (me included) and are too busy playing Factorio to post replies to your question. THE FACTORY MUST GROW

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I started Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth. I've been loving it, it's like they made the game for me. It's a perfect unwind game at the end of a day of work between the calming music, character conversations, and silly or cute mini games; but there's also enough strategy and action in battles to keep my mind stimulated when I want more than that.

I was playing Dwarf Fortress, but the bugs made me shelve the game for the foreseeable future. It's great until the bugs kill your game.

Super Mario Bros 3 and GTA V!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Can't stop playing Balatro since picking it up. There's so many achievements to do. Even finished Jokerless challenge, took about month.

Otherwise Factorio, of course.

Factoio Cities Skylines Terraria Skyrim

Been giving deadlock a shot, still playing dead by daylight, and for solo efforts I have Total War, Tomb Raider, and Rogue Trader going

Currently Green Hell. Took me a bit to not be mauled by a jaguar or get bitten by a snake.

My last game was Skyward Sword.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Currently :

  • Solo version of Escape From Tarkov (with mods)
  • Baldur's Gate 3
  • Sekiro (even if i'm currently struggling against a boss)

I couldn't be happier about this list !

I just bought Portal and Portal 2 and finished them both. Very good games, with great puzzles and story.

I am planning to buy more from Valve in the future.

P.S: This was a triumph

Dead Space and Silent Hill 2 (once I get paid πŸ‘€), and replaying Ghost of Tsushima.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I dunno a lot about ghost of Tsushima, but I’ve always thought it looks interesting, and very beautiful.

I can't get off Splatoon

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Since it came out in the last week of August, I don't think I've touched any game other than Age of Mythology. It's just that perfect balance of being an excellent game in its own right and also absolutely nailing the nostalgia for me.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Finally got around to playing Disco Elysium. What a game!

RimWorld and modded Pokemon Scarlett.

On one hand i am adoring Scarlett more than i expected... On the other, what I enjoy is almost exclusively from the mod, so I don't know where to even talk about the fun i am having understanding I probably still wouldn't want to purchase the full game, even with all the fun I am having, because the jank is only tolerable for me on an emulator with mods.

RimWorld im really into a insectoids 2 mod run. About to try my hand at vanilla expanded genetics with Alpha Animals and Rimbees.

Im vibrating for stardew valley mobile update. It's been my favorite way to play and I wanna mod that, too. 😩

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Factorio (Space Age expansion).

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Helldivers 2

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Diablo 4 and Hi-Fi Rush

Hi-Fi Rush is amazing. Such a fun title, great story, great concept, great art style, great music.

Diablo 4’s new expansion is fun, I’m really enjoying the extremely broken, unbalanced new class. The game is a great companion to audiobooks or podcasts.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Roots of Pacha - well polished, stress free farming sim. Highly recommended if you like Stardew Valley or Story of Seasons.
