    Balatro, of course.

    Also doing another playthrough of Disco Elysium with a shivers/half-light build.

    “Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor” has been a blast so far. I’m about 12 hours in.

    pillars of eternity, great game so far, did not play a realtime-with-pause rpg since kotor, but thanks to the auto-pause settings this plays really well. And while i can’t claim to understand whats going on right now, the world seems to be really fleshed out and combats so far where very fun.

    brotato, fun take on the vampires survivor formular.

    backpack battles, an autobattler, but players don’t draft from a shared pool, so you’ll mostly draft the same builds everytime and don’t care much about the builds you are dacing. not somerhing i’ll continue playing, but it was ok to waste a bit of time, would probably be cool on mobile.

    doom2, but i am allways playing doom, so i guess that does not count.

      I think Brotato is an absolute masterpiece in game design. It’s simple, but not so simple that it feels braindead. It has a lot of mechanics that interact with each other but you can figure all of that out just by playing the game and reading the in-game descriptions, you don’t have to go to a wiki to min-max a run. The art style is simple and clean, you can always tell what’s going on, but it somehow never gets old.

      I actually find it more fun than Vampire Survivors.

    I just got my SD.

    After exploring the system and playing around with many games in my library (thanks to who ever implemented network-downloading), I rediscovered Forza Horizon 5. The new way of playing it seemed to have changed my perspective on the game.

    Sons of Valhalla looks fun but the mixed reviews worry me a bit.

    As my main game, I’m still trying to finish Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Great game, with a huge amount of stuff to do.

    On the side, I’ve recently played through Subliminal and Manifold Garden, which were both great experiences. I also picked up EDF 4.1 from the $1 tier of the EDF Humble Bundle, and have been playing it split screen on the TV with one of my sons. The game requires GPU frequency pinning to get a steady framerate, but otherwise runs well and is a lot of fun.

    Finished Drakengard 3 last week and switched to Pokemon Crystal for some more casual fun. Besides that I also hop between Puzzle Quest and Tetris DX if I’m short on time.

      still bouncing between elden ring and cyberpunk

      I feel that, those two are permanently installed on my deck because I’m not finished with them, but I’m always caught up playing other things instead.

        Im one of those folks who like never finish a game. I get really far and all but finish but always hold back.

          I often fall into a trap where I try to play through most of the side content before finishing the story, but I’ll burn out on the game while playing the side content leaving the main story unfinished.

          I’ve started to do a game rotation where I’ll put down a game when I start to get burnt out on it, and then come back later. But with Elden Ring I’m intimidated about going back because I was stuck in a frustrating part when I stopped, and with Cyberpunk I get suckered into exploring the city and enjoying the vibes of the atmosphere instead of actually progressing anything.

            I have had convos with someone in the past and I think im more like them. I just don’t want to finish it and have it be over. That along with wanting everything before I end. For ones I like anyway. For some games I do get put off. dragons dogma2 is like that for me now. It crashes a lot which I was going to put up with but then some of the mechanics are just to much for me. If it gets more stable I may go back and try and muddle through the mechanics.
