    Started playing Need for Speed Heat. Not really sure why but I am having fun with it.

    RDR2 on Steam Deck. I never got far when I originally played it on my PC a few years ago and have been itching to play it again for the last few weeks.

    Started a new game and so far it’s running really good.

    Work and IRL stuff does not leave me with a lot of hours to game, but I did manage to put in a good few hours.

      Reminds me so much of my situation. I have two kids and having a steam deck has changed everything for me, I went from not having time and/or brain space to game to being able to pick up my deck here and there and play when and where I want and not need to be at my desk or the couch.

      I’m going through CP77 and plan to pick up RDR2 next sale.

    Grim Dawn on Steam Deck and finishing up the collectables on Quantum Break which I usually stream that from my PC to my Steam Deck. I absolutely love the Steam Deck.

    For better or worse I can sit and play way longer sitting on the couch with my Steam Deck than at the desk in front of my computer.

    Starfield, I can’t not play. Also just bought Sea of Stars and I’m thinking of getting Jurassic World Evo 2. Is that Jurassic World worth it, if any of you have played?

      It’s a pretty straight forward zoo sim with dinosaurs, I got it on sale for like 20 bucks and think it’s totally worth it at that price especially.

      Games not very deep or complicated, but there’s decent management to be had alongside the story stuff if you’re playing campaigns.

        I think that’s about all I’m looking for, but I was concerned about the $59.99 on the Microsoft store. I’ll wait till a sale, thanks friend.

          Definitely wait for a sale, especially since they also want to sell you bundle backs, dlcs, and expansion packs.

    This is super niche but I’ve been playing some older games from my childhood with RetroAchievements on my Steam Deck. Right now I’m playing through Pokémon Platinum, and trying to get all the achievements has me engaging with systems I didn’t even know existed! It’s really fun and super rewarding.

    Also been using it to play SSX Tricky. RetroAchievements has leaderboards for some games, so seeing my time at the end of a race compared with everyone else’s is pretty surreal.

      Ssx Tricky!?!? I have most emulators set up on my SD, can you point me towards the info I need to get this running? Played this game until my hands hurt on the Xbox, would be a frigging blast to revisit!

      Dude RetroAchievements is awesome. I found out about it thanks to my MiyooMini and it changed the way I play retro games. I liked it so much an made an app for it for iOS lol

    Still on metal gear solid 5 the phantom pain. I’m taking my time. I’ve put about 60 hours into it so far and still have lots to do. Not bad value when I picked up ground zeros and TPP for like 7 shmeckles in a steam sale.

        Yea I love the adaptive enemy AI, the way they put on vests and helmets and NVG.

        I remember being a kid watching a friend play MGS2 and being amazed when the enemies would sweep the area in formation . Then seeing the footage that they had input from real life soldiers to get it right. The games are labors of love for sure.

      MGS 5 is awesome. That’s a great deal for sure. The Fulton system and using materials to research new equipment is addicting. Glad you’re enjoying it!

      Its still on my list to play. Having played initially , what are your thoughts on the update ?

        Not that person, but the update is really good.

        Throwing weapons are decent to use now (they were awful when they were added). I like the new skill tree and while I’m feeling a bit constrained by the cyberware limits I can see how it would make me feel much more powerful if I built towards it, instead of just having ED and SC limits I can easily exceed.

      Started to play for the first time on Friday. Bought it after watching the anime. I am 30 hours in, it’s great but a little overwelming. So many things to do, to collect and upgrade…

    Playing Baldurs Gate 3 at the weekends with my partner, midway through act 3!

    Meanwhile playing Lies of P on gamepass for a couple of hours each day after work. Just got to the grand exhibition, it’s actually an amazing souls-like

      I’m so excited to start BG3! But my co-op buddy doesn’t have a gaming PC, and it’s delayed on Xbox. It’s ok though, because we’re still enjoying a campaign in Solasta, another CRPG based on D&D rules, although with a much lower budget than BG3.

      In the meantime when I have gaming time and he doesn’t, I’ve been playing through DOS2 on the Steam Deck and with some mods. It’s scratching the itch at least!

        Oh nice, I’ve added that to my Steam wishlist!

        DOS2 is amazing! DOS1 made us fall in love with Larian, so DOS2 and BG3 were part of a personally rare list of games I’ve bought full price.

    Advance Wars By Web

    Advance Wars is an old turn based strategy game, for the GBA (Game Boy Advance), and AWBW is a fan site to play AW online.

    I’ve gotten pretty into it ever since Advance Wars Reboot was announced, and being able to play it in the web browser means I frequently find time to play…

     

    Ironically I don’t play the actual AW Remake because in classic nintendo style the multiplayer is extremely lacking, only being able to play with players added to friends list, not being able to upload/download maps except to friends, and extremely limited map sizes for online maps
