it’s very much borrowed from one of the reddit subs i frequent(ed) often, but the idea is to share what we’re playing weekly and hopefully create discussions around those games (or simply have a sort of “check-in”).
I’m hundreds of hours into my Satisfactory factory. Working on bringing my final power plant online this weekend!
Working in the swamp, late at night
Just wouldn’t be a power plant without eerie green

Humble beginnings my friend, we all started hand crafting iron rods and plates. This factory is my third, and this is about 400 hours in. At this stage you’re at the stage of “I enjoy this, right? I’m doing this for fun, right?”

There’s no problem at all lol, that’s one of the things I love, there’s no “right” or “wrong” way to play at all. We play because we must produce, the only way to play wrong is if you are not at peak efficiency.
And there’s totally an unlock! A small surprise at the awesome shop!
Tears of the Kingdom, and when I get burnt out, either Persona 5 or Hitman III.
I’ve been playing TotK like it’s my second job since day 1, and I still don’t feel close to maxing out on its content. Breath of the Wild was my favorite game of all time, and somehow Tears of the Kingdom is even better.
Same here.
My 7 year old loves watching the gameplay as well. So when we need a break from this heat wave she tells me she wants to watch zelda. Been a ton of fun with her.So when shes around it’s main quest mostly. I would be ostracized if I did a temple without her.
When it’s just me I work on grinding out shrines or lightroots or armor upgrades usually.

i’ve got a few friends who are addicted to this one, haha. it’s not for me, but it does look very interesting!
Do you play with mods? If so, which do you recommend? I think the last one I played was krastorio 2, which devoured a bunch of my free time

If you’ve tried Satisfactory, how would you compare it to Factorio? I’ve found it to be a little easier to play in multiplayer, even if it isn’t as deep from an automation standpoint (but it’s still pretty deep).

I enjoy the ability to just layer your factory higher and higher. One layer is my power generation level, base layer is just iron smithing and processing, and more complex machinery higher up. Still makes a lot of spaghetti the way I make it lol 🍝

Satisfactory is enjoyable, but I missed the same challenge that I had in Factorio. The complexity and fight against the biters is quite something. Still, Satisfactory is very… satisfactory to move around in and great with friends as well. More chill I think.
Hades! It’s such a fun and addicting game. I am trying to 100% the game, so I have made a couple hundred escape attempts with no escapes as of yet.
Can’t seem to stop playing factorio, send help.
The factory must expand.

The factory must expand.
At 1600 hours I’m just a beginner, but this game is so great.
<insert rookie numbers meme here>
I installed the Space Exploration and Krastorio 2 mods and I haven’t even gotten to space yet on my year old save lol. It’s like Factorio x3 in difficulty.
Space exp seems pretty amazing. Before factorio I was mostly pouring time into dyson sphere program, it’s strangely similar.
You still on vanilla, or have you started diving into Greg’s mods?
Still vanilla. I’ve only just started using logistic bots properly, converting the factory from centralised to modular production. I’ll give mods a try sometime soon but there’s so much possibility for expansion in the base game, who knows how long it’ll take.
more like cracktorio
Y’all got any more of that throughput?
Ugh I know the day I start Factorio is the day my life as I know it ends… not sure if I’m dreading it or looking forward to it
I have been playing Tears of the Kingdom, but when my wife has been playing I have been switching in between Serious Sam 4 and the original Commander Keen.
Commander Keen takes a little to get used to the game feel and style, but I am actually enjoying it pretty well. You can feel a lot of what would go into id shooters. Mazelike levels with a series of key cards, but on a 2d platformer instead of a fps.
Oh man, Commander Keen! One of the first games I actually owned.
I’ve been playing a bit of TotK, and also recently pulled out my GB pocket and started playing my old copy of Pokemon Red.
I never owned commander keen until recently. So I would just play that shareware episode back in the day.
I got the shareware version from my cousin, it was all I played for months, got the full version for my birthday!
System Shock! Felt like it’s been coming out forever and then suddenly just dropped. Amazing so far

Been thinking about picking up System Shock! Never played the originals but I can’t say no to a good immersive sim.
There’s a demo on steam! Idk how long it is but worth checking out
Is it good to play casually? Very interested, but I hear there is a ton of back-tracking and it is faithful to the original a little too much?
I really enjoy it, but I love these types of games. There is backtracking when you’re obtaining items and unlocking doors and stuff, very similar to Prey. There’s a demo on steam to check out! Faithful to the original but in the right ways imo
I got Tears of the Kingdom for my birthday, so I’ve been enjoying that this week. I’m thinking about picking up Ozymandius on steam at some point for a nice 4X-Lite game.
Zelda-tears for me - it’s been out for 21 days and I’ve played for 70 hours @__@ but I feel like I haven’t really gotten far through the whole game, and I want it to last forever, it’s the best <3
I’m really enjoying it! Unfortunately, I’m back at work on Monday, so I’m not sure how much more I’ll get to play for a while.
Tears of the kingdom, hehe. Might just play some splatoon 3.
Tears of the Kingdom, spending hours just making random stuff
Octopath Traveler 2, pretty challenging when getting to the later portion of the game.
Doom 2016 on the steam deck. Trying to learn how to aim with the trackpad and gyro after years of kb+m. Seems to be going okay so far.
The gyro can be a little difficult to get used to at first. In my opinion it is best used for fine adjustments. So you’d use the trackpad or joystick for the big adjustments, then fine tune with the gyro.
This is what I’ve learned as well but with the gyro feature of the switch
This is what I’ve read in most places, I find using the gyro a little harder than getting used to the trackpad (the fine adjustment with gyro takes a while for me and is a little awkward while the big trackpad movements are fine) but hopefully it is just a matter of practice.
Wait until you get to Doom Eternal. Mental game.
Yeah, I sadly had to turn down the difficulty to get accustomed to the trackpad. I was getting killed all the time without it, hopefully things get better!
Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal here as well, also on the deck. First time through, slow going. When I get frustrated with one I switch to the other.
Just finished Dusk yesterday and almost done with the first Sacred game. I’ve always liked it more than Diablo.
Diablo 4, enjoying it so far but their MTX shop is a joke. You want 25€ for a basic looking set of armor? I don’t think so.
Season 2 of Limbus Company also just launched, finally beat 3-22 right before the servers went down. Really loving that game, the characters quickly grew on me. I play a few gacha’s (Arknights, GBF, GI) but Limbus is the only one I’d recommend to friends. You can pretty much farm every identity without spending a dime and FOMO is pretty low. Helps that Project Moon is an Indie dev I guess.
Tears of the Kingdom with my son! He is Mr. Random Adventure, while I tend to steer us to objectives. It’s a good combo.
that sounds like a lot of fun!
