Starfield, like a maniac.
The contraband at Vulture’s Roost keeps beckoning me!
BeamNg multiplayer! A lot of fun
thank you…that looks great
Started playing Need for Speed Heat. Not really sure why but I am having fun with it.
Fun is what its about 🙌😊
Heat was amazing compared to Payback and 2015. I wish they would stick to that formula going forward.
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.
I started Baldur’s gate last week. That’s a really nice game !
And also playing Factorio, of course
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.
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.
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!
I’m just using Emudeck and running it through pcsx2. I didn’t even have to tweak anything
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
SSX Fans unite!
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.
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!
Yea its like “just one more mission and then I can develop xyz”.
Thanks for the wholesome comment 😊👍. Hope you have a great week
Mgs5 has some of the best open world gameplay of any game ever made . Love all of the metal gear games.
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.
Cyberpunk!!
Cyberpunk 2077. My second playthrough. First one with ver. 1.0 and it was painful
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.
Thanks for the info 😉👍
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…
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
Thanks for sharing, I’m doing a replay of it AW1 on my Steamdeck so I can play Advance wars 2 after (which I never played bfore)! Never knew about this website, gotta check that out!
AWBW is awesome. I’ve been playing WarBits+ with my friend for over a year now (it is in Alpha/Beta stages). Check it out on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2338990/Warbits/
If it looks interesting to you, they have a Discord you can join to get access to the beta.
Neat, we need more games like AW and Wargroove
Baldurs Gate 3 turned into an addiction.
Finished some time ago afterimage. Pretty good metroidvania. I liked it despite some negative comments, I did not find many of the issues described, or very little of it. Tho I used a map to find my way around collectables.
Recently finished hogwarts Legacy. It’s pretty good too, but it’s cursed with bugs and not sure if it’s abandoned by the dav as there wasn’t any update in 5 months. Tho most of the game is fine without game breaking bugs or too visible.
I started yesterday GRIME. Another metroidvania. For now it’s a bit soon to have a real opinion, but it’s OK.
Love GRIME.
Have been showing my kid Chrono Trigger. I don’t have anyone with good taste to talk to, so I have resolved to create one

Wouldn’t be quite so gung ho about video games this young if he wasn’t such an avid reader. Next I was thinking about showing him the GameCube Paper Mario title.
