I like Tents and Trees also, waiting on money to get 12x12B
Been playing a fair bit of Deep Rock Galactic. Itās a fun Left-4-Dead/Vermintide/etc style class-based wave shooter where youāre one of a group of space dwarves sent into a planetās underground to go mine materials and kill bugs. Lots of bugs. SO MANY BUGS.
One of the classes starts with a flamethrower. I have had much fun with said flamethrower.

Started playing Wolfenstein: The New Order. I love the gameplay and so far Iām enjoying the story and the entire game universe too. The only thing I donāt like is how much cutscenes are in the game. Cutscenes that you canāt pause too. Oh, and the checkpoint save system. Seriously, any FPS game thatās on PC should never have a checkpoint save system. Itās what made me hate FarCry 3 with a passion.

I know Iām never going to have a computer in time that is capable of playing Cyberpunk 2077, but itās cool to see Keanu Reeves is in it.

- Stranger things - the game (android)
- Tiny Room game (android)
- Oceanhorn (android)
Just limiting myself to an hour or so. If I get stuck in a game, I leave it alone for a day or 2ā¦ Usually resuming it after a while means I find a way or so to solve the puzzle/problem and get on with things. (Currently stuck in oceanhorn).
All the moon-landing stuff makes me wish I had a copy of Kerbal Space Program but my random game funds are a bit depleted right now.
It is on sale right now for Xbox One, but Iām not sure how frustrating it would be to play with a controller. Could always hook up a mouse & keyboard, though.
Waiting for Steamā¦ And money in my Paypal account, which is also pending.

Iām playing the āwhere is my overtime pay from Novemberā game. Iām not very good at it.
Want to play Doom, Doom II and Doom 3 on your PlayStation 4 or Nintendo Switch? id Software just announced they are releasing them for those consoles.
Were you already playing those on your Xbox One? Donāt uninstall them because they were just delisted by Bethesda Softworks and youāll need to pay $20 to get Xbox One-native versions. Keep your Xbox 360 disc for āDoom 3: BFG Editionā if you ever do need to uninstall and install it.
But wait, thereās more! And less. You get split-screen play in deathmatch and co-op modes, the expansion pack āNo Rest For The Livingā has been removed, and the first two games no longer have online gameplay modes for deathmatch and co-op.
Full details are in the Ars Technica article published yesterday, along with this reminder:
āConsider todayās news another reminder that your digital game purchases are nothing more than licenses, which publishers are free to revoke.ā
Another reason why I hang onto the physical media and packing of all games I buy, even if I later get a digital-only version through an online service.

Not to mention that before you can play them, you have to log in with a Bethesda accountā¦
For me the shareware doom.wad is good enough.
ā¦I was weak. I bought Kerbal Space Program.
I am terrible at it, but enjoying it. Itās that kind of game.
Currently I have a somewhat-stable vessel Iām using to ferry wealthy people on suborbital flights that end up in the ocean. Thrill-seekers, I guess. But itās letting me get upgrades to take on more interesting missions.
Navigation is my weak point right now.
Spent most of yesterday on Diablo III - managed to complete the entire first act. I havenāt done that in a while, and forgot how much I enjoyed it. Iām going through with a monk this time around - of all the characters Iāve played so far, I like her mindset the most.

KSPās got a lot of rough edges, some of which persisted from the Demo I played years ago. itās still a lot of fun, though.
The Career mode is interesting as youāre basically balancing Funds, Prestige, and Science to build the infrastructure to lost your doomed rocketsā¦ but you can always back out to the VAB, ans scrub a doomed mission. Unless letting a Kerbal die is worth a ton of science points.
You get to select Contracts from a list that ranges from ātest this random component on the launch padā to āLand on another world.ā (I havenāt seen the latter yet as Iāms till in the suborbital era.) Even with basically sending up capsules that parachute down and work correctly maybe 4/5 of the time, Iām getting tons of āspace touristsā so had to build a craft with a second seat so I can haul tourists up for a few seconds in spaceā¦ Basically two Mercury capsules welded together, and extra ugly.
In time I should be able to move to a more āairplaneā cockpit and crew compartment, which will hopefully aid efficiency quite a bit. Right now itās inefficient as Iām sending up this ugly mess just to get a tourist into space.
Not that I have much time to play anymore, but the youngest and I are both considering buying the following - Super Mario Maker 2, Luigiās Mansion 3, and Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Not sure if these.series are good but they look fun. Of course, Iām still working on Octopath Traveler and Ni no Kuni II and bought a game Iāve yet to try bc I liked the description - Bendy and the Ink Machine. Also wanna try Wolfenstein but I can borrow that from a friend. Yet all I do is paint it seems. 
Bendy is amazingly fun! FE3H is apparently a huge departure from the main games, with how combat and story are handled. Im picking it up on Friday, so ill give more info then

I have this one. It can beā¦interesting. A fair number of the maps that are created tend to either be speedrun, auto-mario, or gimmicky levels that just do something like play music while you run across a straight map. The rest tend to be balls-to-the-wall insane difficulty.
It can be fun if you temper your search/filter results accordingly, but if you just play the current ātop featuredā maps or something, be prepared for some crazy difficulty fluctuations between maps.

Weāve never played any of the series so itāll all be new. What I was reading talked about how different it is from the other games. Iām interested to see if we like it. I have a coupon for my birthday month and a reward coupon at GameStop so itās worth a try I figure.
Iām looking forward to new content for Fallout 76. They are finally introducing human NPCs. Also Borderlands 3 comes out in September and Cyberpunk 2077 comes out in April of 2020 so those are the ones Iām looking forward to.
