Crosscode is really fucking good. I'm kind of amazed it's only $20, considering the amount of content that seems to be in it. I'm at 20 hours and I think i'm just under halfway through.

Currently bouncing between Destiny 2 (PC) and WoW. I trimmed my installed list in Steam down to what I think I may play if I need a break from D2 & WoW but, then I keep looking for other stuff if it is a good deal. The last two weeks I've had a really hard time focusing on a game to play and go in small chunks; D2 for a few days and I know I'm going to log into WoW tonight, then likely will only play it for a few days.

I wish I could figure out what I want to do, because I'm getting to a point where I want to actually find some people to knock stuff out with but, if I can't focus, there isn't any point. o_O

I am currently bouncing between Forza Horizon 4, Assassin's Creed Odyssey and MapleStory 2. I did reach 120 in WoW, and then I was like "meh" and signed out lol. I'm biding my time until Red Dead Redemption 2 comes out at the end of the month.

I almost purchased a PS4 over the weekend so that I can check out some of the newer games that I see some of you chatter about in Discord but, then I was afraid it would end up just sitting there in hopes that my kids wouldn't ignore it. I'm thankful that they picked up on Minecraft so that the Xbone gets used, at least. I'm horrible about buying games/gaming systems and then never playing or using them.

I'm playing a game I picked up in some Fanatical bundle. It is called Savage Lands and is a survival game. I've not really played them and have only really encountered that kind of thing when using the Frostfall mod in Skyrim.

It's rough around the edges, not an easy game by any measure (I fell into the water/lost everything/couldn't retrieve them without again dying so had to start fresh with armor and goods while running around nekkid with nasty critters attacking), still in early access after years languishing without further development, however a new developer picked it up and has been working regularly on it. They are very responsive in the community forum and answer questions, ideas regularly. I like that, of course.

There's something about working for every little bit you get, from having to hunt, gather, mine to create your armor, home, weaponry, etc...that keeps me coming back. It's almost hypnotic in a way. I've been at it for well over 100 hrs.

My old gaming PC bit the dust so I bought a new one that is uh... pretty grossly overpowered (I7 2 SSD's, 16G 1070GTZ) so I'm quietly doing that thing where I re-install all my games and give them a quick run in glorious high resomolutions and with less frame stuttering.

Current mamorpiguh: FFXIV, did quit raiding though, was starting to feel like I was getting off work to go back to work with the raid team when I got home.
For single player I'm bouncing around like a frantic bunny. Fallout 4 (Again) the newer wolfenstein games, Far Cry 5 and Battletech.

It seems that Maplestory 2 has taken over from WoW as my PVE hero game.

I decided to re-install Guild Wars 2 this past week. It's been interesting going through all of the past gift items I've received over the last 6yrs and cracking things open and re-learning how to play the game. I never leveled past 11 my last go around, so I started a fresh toon and am up around 21/22 now and having fun. I like the open world alerts for champion fights and seeing people actually show up and work together to down it. It's filling my MMO need at the moment because I'm very bored with WoW right now.

Fuck I don't remember
Slay the Spire, Cultist Simulator, and WOW. Spire is extremely addicting and the devs are constantly tweaking to keep it both challenging and fun. I’m stuck on Ascension 4 on all three characters, but still enjoying it.

Cultist Simulator is wholly unique and I have to take breaks because it turns into a Lovecraftian fever dream of frustration and “what do you mean it’s been six hours I just started playing” if I don’t.

I also slipped back into WOW but I don’t ever do current content. Mostly I cheese old raids and stuff for fun.

I've recently started playing ESO. I didn't think I'd ever enjoy playing a MMO again, and yet here I am, questing with my level 20 Sneaky Squishy, helping other players when I can and being happy not to be on my own when things get hairy. Delves, world bosses, public dungeons... all good. I'm not ready to join a guild yet, but I'm thinking about it. I'm even considering PVP.

The mood is very different from the previous MMO I've played (Rappelz and Perfect World) -- less grand posturing, more doing stuff together / in parallel to other people without trodding on anyone's feet. Possibly because it's not free to play, or because there's less grinding... Dunno. The quests are really good, and the lore is just massive.

Oh, and it's a botanist's wet dream. I can recognise all the plants and fungi without looking at the names. The models are astonishingly accurate. A lot of thought and effort has gone into this aspect of the game, and I really appreciate it.

Was attempting an honest go at FO76 but Battlefield V is now what I'm playing.

(I stopped playing FO76 because I'm basically at god gear level now and there's fuckall to do)

I picked up Witcher 3 a few days ago. I know, rather late to the game huh? I'm really impressed. This is very well thought out, excellent.

I enjoy playing Dying Light, an outstanding game, which is very much like Far Cry only better. It’s a great option that brings lots of fun no matter you play alone or in co-op. Since its creation, many new updates have been made. The developers added new weapons and vehicles. For me, Dying Light is the most exciting a first-person game.

Overwatch, ongoing. Somewhat hard-stuck in low silver, but I'm quite pleased with that.

Fallout 4, again.

Not sure about my draw with FO4, but I've gone beyond 1k hours and I still keep going back to it. (o_O)

Replaying the Borderlands series. And just installed Morrowbivion so I can replay both of those games.
