Factorio, hours upon hours of Factorio. I go to bed planning my next expansion. I wake up from dreaming about it. It’s consumed my life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
yeah, that checks out
The factory must grow
Finished Milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk last night and picked up the next one Milk outside a bag of milk outside a bag of milk.
It’s definitely very strange and unsettling, but I like it.
I just played these a couple of days ago. Fascinating games, both of them. And the difference in production is staggering.
I’ve been feeling the Elder Scrolls itch and with the spooky season upon us, I decided it’s a good time to finally dig into Tamriel Rebuilt (which just got a new release BTW). The quality of what I’ve seen so far is stellar, it feels like it’s an official Bethesda content (and I mean that in the best way possible).
Abandoned Starfield a week ago. Have been and mostly will be playing:
- Batman: Arkham Knight
- Death Stranding: Directors Cut
Got them last week on discount.
Death Stranding is SO GOOD
Yes. Strange that an idea of hiking simulator actually works.
Death Stranding might be the exact opposite of Starfield in design philosophy

It’s been a long time, but I remember liking Jaal, Vetra, Drack, and Peebee a lot. I also remember Peebee being controversial in terms of you love her or hate her.
Can only talk about my watch list :
- Dave the Diver, on my Mac . Sadly, steam only.
- dredge, PS4
- thinking about cyberpunk but ps4 might grind
- also BF2042 maybe for a shooter
Also looking for some kind of chill farming / city building thing, for the mac, to play in bed, if anyone has anything ?
For farming, I’ll assume you’ve tried Stardew, but if not that’s the obvious answer.
There’s a new one out called Vexland which might interest you. I haven’t tried it.
Another stardew is what I’m looking for !
We all are. Looks like there will be a 1.6 update with some new content. I never explored the additional 1.5 content, but it seemed like a good bit.
Project zomboid might quench that thirst with its farming foraging and fishing mechanics it’s a really good game I’ve put 860 hours into it myself since buying it in late 2018
I went back to playing Slay the Spire for a bit, since it’s almost N7 Day, but I might just replay Disco Elysium in stead. After ME, maybe it’s time to try Starfield? Have seen too many negative reviews to really want to pay full price for it, but we’ll see.
Diablo 2 hardcore. Currently gearing up to take on hell with my javazon.
Also playing some super Mario wonder. It’s a very fun and enjoyable game so far.
trackmania, full speed maps. v addictive.
Got way too much on the go right now.
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Astroneer
- Ion Fury
- Timberborn
- Sea Of Stars
Just finished Sea of Stars. I never 180’d from a game so much.
I started it a week and a half ago, and I was in love with the game. The story was cliché, sure, but everything else was perfect, and the characters were kind of cute.
But the third act feels too rushed and the ending… Oh boy, the ending. It just doesn’t feel like an ending at all. I was extremely disappointed with it, and too many setpieces just led to nowhere.
And the true ending was even worse, in that it not only has very arbitrary requirements to unlock (including finding all 60+ collectibles scattered across the map in random locations), but ruins one of the best and arguably the most emotional moments of the game as well.

I despise time travel. Always. It just doesn’t work, unless you put a lot of thought into it, and the Sea of Stars developers clearly didn’t even try.
Been going through Gotham Knights on Gamepass, it’s solid. It doesn’t stand up to the best of the Arkham series, but it’s at least an interesting twist on the idea, and the Arkham formula still holds up.
Also been on a totally random RollerCoaster Tycoon kick. Haven’t played in years, but for some reason I felt like getting into it again. It’s incredible how well it still holds up.
Cities: Skylines 2! Poor performance aside it’s easy to see the potential, and it’s still a lot of fun. I still get around 30 fps at 1440p in my small town
Yeah the performance is crap but at least it is the kind of game where you can play with worse framerate pretty alright.
I’m waiting for the mod update, hoping they will have fixed most of the bugs/performance by then and the mods can fix the rest.
Glad that the base game seems to be sound.
Darkest Dungeon
Fascinating game that beats your ass non-stop and yet you ask for it again.
Cyberpunk 2077 - Phantom Liberty and the 2.0 update have brought a lot of life back to this game. I’m having a blast running through the city doing jobs here and there. The PL missions so far (only really played the opening one) have been awesome and very well put together. Despite the hate the game got for bugs at launch, it really is one of my favorite FPS RPGs.
iRacing - The continuous one. I’m not terribly fast at Simracing, but damn do I enjoy it. I have a league race at Bathurst in a Radical SR8 on Friday that I’m looking forward to.
CS2 - Been dabbling in CS again with the new releases. I’m absolute trash at the game now, and that impacts the enjoyment sometimes, but as long as I’m playing in a duo it’s bearable.
Apex Legends - Probably the game I have the most hours in outside of minecraft. I’ve played well over 10k games of BR, and thousands of mixtape. The new season just dropped yesterday and I’m thinking it’s time to get back on the ranked grind.
How’d you get into sim racing? I’m an F1 fan and have been tossing around the idea of getting a rig but not sure what would give a decent experience for the money. The sim racing community here and on Reddit seems to just be people posting pics of their rigs. I have a microcenter near me and they have a rig builder on their website but I don’t really know what to look for.
I recently got to do a sim experience at an expo but they had a very nice fanantec F1 set up with a direct drive wheel and VR set that was an absolute blast, so I’m worried any entry level setup just wouldn’t come close to comparing to that.
