Hey folks, what is everyone playing this week? Are you trying something new or returning to a previously played game or genre? How are you liking what you’re currently playing?

I’ve been playing Factorio… Help
Don’t worry, they’ll be releasing the expansion soon. The factory must grow.
I’m so excited for the multi level trains. They would help me so much
This one scares me for sure haha
It’s no big deal. You just play until you realize you made some critical mistake at the beginning, and decide to just yeet a 140 hour campaign so you can fix the problem on the next go around…
I’m okay… I swear…help
I’m playing Fallout New Vegas properly for the first time. Started not too long after Starfield released and I’ve been really enjoying myself
Excellent choice! I wish I could experience FNV for the first time all over again, it’s so good. Got any idea which factions you want to align with?
So I already got the chip to Mr House. I put up with NCR I suppose. But I do enjoy the Boomers
Sadly the boomers are a minor faction, but if they did have an ending, it would be entertaining.
Been on parental leave, for a couple of days. I hooked up the PC to the living room TV and I’ve been casually playing No Man’s Sky. It’s utterly cathartic to fly around space with a 5 day old sleeping, his chest on my belly.
Hey, congrats. Ours is due early next year so I’ll be doing similar
Thanks! It’s my second, the other is 6yo now. It brings me back to my first parental leave - I played through The Witcher III with my first sleeping on my belly in a similar manner haha
Congratulations to you and the mom!
Nice! How do you like No Man’s Sky? I’ve heard it’s much better now than when it was released
Can’t speak for your interests obviously, but good enough for me spending a good chunk of 10h on it in the last 2 days. I’m a huge space nerd though, so the interstellar travel alone is worth it for me. The storyline is mostly a pretense for exploring, trade, mining stuff, which I don’t mind at all given how pretty it can be. I also really like playing alone lol. I don’t know how long it’ll stick, but it’s scratching an itch for the time being!
It lost its appeal for me… Every world is similar, or was when I was playing. There was no point exploring.
Same minerals everywhere, so no point going looking for something interesting either.
I guess I was hoping it would be more of a “explore and find really rare things, trade them with others at high prices” kind of a thing.
Just finished the main quest in Horizon Zero Dawn. Looking forward to the frozen wilds next.
Back into Monster Hunter: World on PC! There’s still a small community of players filling up the servers, and it’s been fun.
Star Wars: Republic Commando. Hell yeah
Really wished this got a sequel. Awesome take on the universe and I miss squad based single player games like that.
Replaying Grim Dawn for the nth time, finishing the main campaign and then heading into the DLCs. After that, I’m not sure.
The Resident Evil 2 remake. It’s pretty awesome honestly. I’m actually pretty surprised how good it is. It’s easily my favorite RE game behind the original release of RE4.
Civ V with Vox Populi overhaul mod
For those who don’t know, Vox Populi was Community Balance Patch, was Communitas Patch, and including all the history has been in active development for almost as long as Civ V has existed. A recent change was to introduce the community council to vote on proposals.
Vox Populi is the reason I have 2510 hours of Civ V, and why I don’t care about Civ VI, as the mod makes V just far superior. For those trying it for the first time, the general recommendation is to lower your difficulty 2 steps from what you normally play, as the AI is vastly improved.
The normal install thread is here, but it’s currently in a beta state thanks to a huge code cleanup. I’m playing with the last 3.x release which you can find on their GitHub as I use other mods that are not yet updated for version 4.
There is another thread in case you want to play multiplayer as that does not support normal mods. But I only play single player ;)
Civ V is always the game I return to, or that I play when I don’t feel like playing anything else.
Project zomboid. It’s crazy how deep the game is and the mods make it even cooler
Darktide (my zealot is getting kinda dope) and the division 2 (I have no excuses, it was on sale w/dlc and I like it when numbers go up)
The Division 2 is a solid looter shooter and cover shooter, no cope necessary.
Space Station 14
Just started Dragon Age Origins, I’m still at the tutorial level but it looks like a game I’d enjoy.
This is another one I’ve been meaning to play but I haven’t had the energy to start it and really enjoy it
A lot of Kingdom Rush Origins. Working on beating the campaign on impossible. I definitely recommend it if you are a fan of tower defense games.
Except those last few levels, virtually impossible on impossible mode with the free-tier heroes:-(. I tend to like the original and Frontiers much better, though ironically Origins was one of the most “balanced” of them all, and that was neat to experience as well:-).
e.g. archer towers should shoot singly, fast, and at high range, while barracks hold the line and are focused more on defense, right? Nope, the former do AoE magic bombs instead, while the latter shoots arrows into the sky. And artillery should focus on offense and hit AoE in as wide an area as possible, right? Nope, there are tanky bears and the shots hit only a narrow space. I’m cherry-picking these examples, but you get the idea - every tower does stuff that overlaps with what you would think other tower types might do instead, which makes for some fun thinking to deal with the foes.:-D
Baldur’s Gate 3, I’ve been playing it since it came out and I’m only on my 2nd playthrough. Looking forward to my 3rd playthrough, hopefully by that time I’ll have the heart to be able to play an evil Dark Urge run.
