What game are you playing today?

If he has friends who play, yes for sure. If he doesnt then its a solid probably.

Also, the premier game currancy is findable in game. So if he takes his time he can buy it just by playing.

If he likes Deep Rock Galactic this is the same but better.

I’m working on 100percenting Dredge. It’s a fun little timewaster that doesn’t cost that much.

That game is on my wishlist. I am entering the time of lack of hours to game but once the dead of Summer comes around I may pick it up to hide in the Aircon with.

There are 5 island groups to do missions around that tie into the central Lovecraftian horror story at the center. If you buy the one capsule of DLC, it adds another chain of islands (well, icebergs) that doesn’t impact the story. It’s just a bit of extra fun.
All in, it was somewhere around $25. Buy it now and play it later. It’s probably still on sale.
I’m nearly done with all of the achievements and can do one of the two endings. Then, I’ll speedrun the necessary missions in a second instance to get the last ending and I’m done.
A couple of weeks of casual play, all in.

I purchased the original GalCiv when it was released for OS/2… Lots of fun in infinite galaxies back then.

Good to see GalCiv is still around.

Think I purchased it for Ookson on GOG.com (yep - GalCiv2 and Civilizations3) but he likes Rise of Nations the most.

Hi! I started playing Stardew Valley a couple years ago to chill out while extremely stressed, and it’s become the only game I play, other than little phone ā€œGame Snacksā€ from Google Play. I haven’t looked through this whole topic for any other Stardew Valley fans, but I have maybe 500 hours total in the last few years, and foresee many, many more. It’s not nearly as boring as I originally thought it was going to be when I first heard about it. :laughing: Anyone else?

(LOL, this is the 666th post in this topic!)

I picked up No Mans Sky, as my steam deck struggles with Elite Dangerous.
So far its very relaxing, but still lets me be a space pilot, i kind of like that i have to go find and ā€œlearnā€ the languages. Im not a big fan of Minecraft-type games, but this is not bad at all.

Mr. TM decided he wanted to try Fallout 4 before the new series started. He’s become as hooked on it as I am and keeps asking me how to do things. :laughing:

This is also Mrs. Force10 right now. She played 3 and New Vegas but gave up on 4 early on because she couldn’t grok the crafting and building system. She’s picked it back up and now it’s like ā€œHow do I place this again?ā€

Stardew Valley is my youngest’s favorite game. I think it’s ok and I play with her every once and a while. But we are more likely to be yelling Rock and Stone at each other.

And lately I only fight for Democracy, though apparently I have to hit Destiny 2 so I can finally catch up with my friends and stop being carried because of crap gear.

The announcement trailer was released yesterday, featuring David Attenborough-style narration. It’s not just an escape the secret lab platformer. There’s puzzle rooms to unlock hidden sections of the game and a sandbox mode. You can also choose how you interact with the non-agent people, as your friendly neighborhood squirrel or unleash crime and mayhem on the neighborhood.

More info at (wait for it) squirrelwithagun.com.

Been playing CP2077 with the Phantom Liberty DLC for the past few weeks. Also modded it with some QoL mods just because. I had no idea what to expect, never watched gameplay videos or read the wiki, nothing. I’m absolutely loving it.

I can’t stop comparing it to the Deus Ex series, though. Same great taste, but different flavor. Went straight for a stealthy playstyle because that’s all you do in Deus Ex and it works pretty darn well. Already planning my next two playthroughs.

I haven’t bought it yet, but I’m looking at Mullet Madjack. If you enjoy 80’s and 90’s style anime boomer games, this looks right up that alley.
You have 10 seconds of game time, and every robot you kill adds more time.

If you’re playing Forza Horizon 5, you can now get the Universal Icons Car Pack with the following cars:

  • Doc Brown’s DeLorean
  • The upgraded version with Mr. Fusion
  • another DeLorean from Back to the Future (not sure how this is different)
  • KITT
  • A Jurassic Park Jeep

Minecraft. Started up a server with some friends a couple days ago, again.

Fallout 4. Again.
And it has confirmed to me that the Minutemen are the only faction worth supporting, despite the fact that Preston Garvey is incredibly wet.

The demo for Tiny Glade on Steam is so much fun! For now, you have a tiny patch to work on where you can adjust the height of the property and put buildings, paths and flowers in. The details are incredible and I found it to be a relaxing little time waster. No goals. No population to appease.
It looks to have a release scheduled later this year.
Here is what I quickly built.


The camera controls are quite extensive for taking screenshots.
Don’t forget to pet the sheep.

I tried to get Knights of the Old Republic to work on steamdeck, didn’t go well, Guess ill have to play switch or mobile.

Good news is i got starwars Battlefront 2 (EA version) to work on the deck, stability is not amazing as it some times causes a hard lock that needs to restart the deck. But i can get my star wars fix so im happy

I finished CP2077 and wow, what a game. I want to do a second playthrough, but I’ll wait a bit. In the meantime, I started on Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, specifically ME1. Installed some QoL mods and texture mods to spice it up and 20 hours into it, I’m hooked.

Do you love RollerCoaster Tycoon or maybe Theme Park World? Are you a fan of the movie Mars Attacks? Can you guess where this is going?

Coming soon:
