I’m playing Grim Dawn because i’m not a big fan of always-on in Diablo 4. So i’ve decided to give Grim Dawn a try and damn, i’m really loving it.
It’s a great game, I’ve been recommending people spend their money on it over D4, for the same price they could get all the Grim Dawn dlcs and have a stack more content in my mind (-:
I just fired up a GD game with a friend last weekend. I forgot how to play since it’s been so long.
Necro/Occultist all day long. BoneZone and the boys causing havoc all around.
The new Season of Deep Rock Galactic. I don’t really like this seasons weapon frameworks, but there’s still some cool cosmetics to unlock. Like a plague doctor mask with a fancy hat. :3

Rock and stone!
After a few years of mostly playing strategy & tactical games, I fired up Minecraft this weekend. I’d never really given it a proper try before, but it’s been refreshing and relaxing. I started on survivor mode but found the enemies kind of annoying, so I switched to peaceful survivor mode and that’s been fun so far. Just enjoying the “wander around and build stuff” atmosphere. Honestly makes me want to play more sandbox-y games after a while of mostly playing more intense stuff.
You might like Satisfactory. They added a peaceful mode recently and the game is heckin’ beautiful after the last update. Sometimes I’ll just stop playing the game and look at things now.
I’ve been playing Prey. It runs great on Steam Deck and is a lot of fun overall. That and No Man’s Sky are my games of the summer so far
There’s a native stand-alone port of Prey (2006) for the Quest 2. I gotta try that some time. I did try the Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast port and it was amazing.
It’s been a few patches since last, and Update 8 is live on the Experimental Branch, so I started a new save of Satisfactory.
Never managed to get far in previous runs, because I tended to think complicated instead of thinking big, so have a new strategy this time. When I need modular frames, I find a fresh set of iron nodes and dedicate the entire output of those to modular frames. Things are more spread out, but collecting resources is an uncomplicated problem to solve.
So far I’m optimistic - feeling less overwhelmed.
I’ve been waiting on Satisfactory until it’s out of early access. Should I continue to wait or is it good now?
What is there is fun and stable. It’s easy to spend hundreds of hours as it is, so I’d give it a go. :)
I’m thinking about that too. My rail system is poorly planned. Either I can rip up a ton of spaghetti track or start over. Maybe I should start over.
It’s always annoying to restructure, as just tearing stuff down can destroy the infrastructure you need to build the new system.
In Factorio that was a non-problem as I’d just move a bit to the left on the infinite map and make a completely new base, but here I am stuck in place.
I’m not excited to deal with the in-place rebuild problem, so I just start over.
Yea, I was lucky to have a ton of hours in Factorio, so the Rail system is pretty well laid out. Ist still possible to to move and rebuild in Satisfactory, but it’s just so much more anoying than Factorio makes it
Loving the new update - starting a new update 8 run with some friends, been a while! Getting horrendous frame stutter trying to play multiplayer at the moment, but I guess that’s the price to pay for running the experimental release.
Satisfactory Update 8 (Lumen makes it very pretty) and Beyond All Reason mainly!
BAR is a great game
It really is! I used to love TA back in the day but never got into the online scene. BAR is definitely my type of game, had some epic battles!
How’s the blueprint system in Satisfactory these days? Last time I played was before they were added, and I got burnt out somewhere in tier 8. I can only connect belts to splitters and smelters for so long before my eyes start to bleed
Not quite got that far yet - will let you know in a day or two! :)
Picked up Deep Rock Galactic based on recommendations in another thread, not very good at it yet but it’s a lot of fun!
Just finished up the System Shock remake. Been struggling to find a game to captivate me, but this one surely did the trick. Pretty week ending though… just like the original, hah.
Would love to see Ultima Underworld 1/2 get the same treatment.
Mechabellum. Nothing else.
Autobattler with mechs. Very lively atm and you get a game in a minute easily. Super well executed game, but it is in early access and definitely has jank when it comes to user experience.
Would 100% recommend.
Final Fantasy XIV. As a decade+ WoW player, its really nice to find such a nice player base. I’m just hitting level 54 ( so between the base game A Realm Reborn and on my way into the first expansion ) and I’ve experience absolutely 0 toxicity.
I’m playing Pokémon Yellow on my SteamDeck (via RetroArch). The childhood nostalgia I’m experiencing is heart-warming. :)
Battlebit remastered. Definitely got curious from their ads, but it is a battlefield experience like no other. Puts 2042 to shame. It looks silly but its challenging in all the right ways.
Witcher 2 babyyyy. First time playthrough and it’s just… Like I’m a kid again and I can’t stop thinking about playing it again when I’m at work.
Did you play through witcher 1 first? Lucky duck…
A bit of ‘Death Road to Canada’ lately–basically the oregon trail but in a zombie apocalypse and everything is randomized/procedurally generated. High replay-value up there with The Binding of Isaac (not quite that good, but it’s close). Supports split screen co-op. Banger retro soundtrack. Witty. Do recommend.
HROT! Quake styled retro fps. I am enjoying it :)
