My D&D group is taking a two-week break (responsibilities and all that) so I've been playing through Honkai: Star Rail. I'm just about caught up on the main storyline.

Been playing Honkai: Star Rail and Tears of the Kingdom at the same time like a maniac. I'll probably burn out on both and wander off.
The fun part is Star Rail almost becomes an idle game, eventually, because you can just set up auto battles to grind resources and set it off to the side to do its thing. Is this real gaming? I dunno, but it has pretty graphics.
Enjoying Dave the Diver. It's oddly addictive rogue like with an 80's arcade game Root Beer Tapper vibe.
I keep a couple in rotation that I switch between in a session. Right now I'm playing through Arkham City for the first time (I'm a patient gamer) with City Skylines as a backup.
Great game. Don't miss out on Arkham Origins too. It's often overlooked.
I'm hundreds of hours into my Satisfactory factory. Working on bringing my final power plant online this weekend!
Working in the swamp, late at night
Just wouldn't be a power plant without eerie green
Finally playing Jedi Fallen Order so I can get around to Jedi Survivor, gives time for the latter to get its shit together as well.
Doom 2016 on the steam deck. Trying to learn how to aim with the trackpad and gyro after years of kb+m. Seems to be going okay so far.
The gyro can be a little difficult to get used to at first. In my opinion it is best used for fine adjustments. So you'd use the trackpad or joystick for the big adjustments, then fine tune with the gyro.

Got burned out from the Lost Ark grind. Played a bit of GW2, but SWTOR is currently hitting all the right notes for me.
Rift Breaker with a side of BattleTech (BTA 2062 mod), CoreKeeper, and some Stoneshard if I want to suffer.
Steam store links for quick info:
I bought Gris after the Neva reveal trailer. It's truly one of the most beautiful games I've ever played, and the score is just as noteworthy.
I just started Death Stranding on my Steam Deck.
Death Stranding. Was sceptic for a long time, if the concept of the game is for me and motivating enough to keep me playing. Picked it up during a sale recently and really got hooked. With not much time to game it is nice to deliver a few packages and be able to quit again. Story is so cryptic that it feels like it does not matter if you forget something after a week long break and the atmosphere of the game feels really nice.
I had the same experience. The way people described it I put it off for a long time, but when I finally started I was also hooked. Put like >90 hours on my first playthrough, which is pretty unusual for me.
Yeah, exactly. I am at about 35 h into the game and so far I do not feel any kind of burnout coming. It is so satisfying to drive along your own roads and unlocking new blueprints from satisfied costumers. Hope this keeps going.
once my finals are done i'm taking a one and a half hour walk to the nearest videos game store and getting TOTK and that'll probably be me sorted for the rest of the month at least
...the rest of the year....
DayZ. Bought it like 2 years ago, but only played like 30 hours. Dropped it because for me it was really hard at the beginning when I played solo. Maybe I watch some tutorials this time for an easier start.
I could never be good at DayZ but I’ve met some good people over the game. At my job as well I was able to convince some of my coworkers to try it out and they enjoyed it! Nowadays, I mainly just play on community servers and custom maps like Esseker (rather small but more interactions). I also watch SourSweet and TheRunningManz on YouTube for their DayZ content. Cheers! :)

Dota 2! But then again, I've been playing that for nearly a decade at this point....
Just got back into playing myself. Took a long break, but the new patch lured me back lol. The map changes are pretty crazy ngl. Theres no way those portals are balanced.
They're balanced by the fact my team doesn't use them, lmao.
I just got my Steam Deck and have loved playing through BoTW via CEMU with mods (playing as Linkle!)
Right now I am trying to get modded Skyrim going on my 64gb Steam Deck, since I haven't played before and love fantasy settings!
Install a 1TB SSD in there, and fill it with mods. It's pretty easy to upgrade yourself.

This may not be the best place to post this, but for lack of a designated community I think this is appropriate :)
I've gotten way into Pathfinder 2e recently, been mucking about with the rulebooks and building a homebrew setting. It's been a lot of fun thus far, the system is crunchy but sensible.

Been playing a moderately modded MechWarrior 5. The game just isn't as fun without the Clans and their cool technology, so I added the “Yet Another Clan Mech” mod which adds them, but now the game gets crashy whenever any Clan 'Mechs show up. Dunno why. Hoping for another MechWarrior game some time soon.
