Well, originally my plans were to check out the newly launched Season 1 of Diablo 4, but the news on that has been very... whelming to say the least. I haven't crossed it off the list yet, but it surely won't have any sort of priority for me.

I'll probably be trying to spend a little bit of time in Destiny 2 for the Solstice event, but that also depends - past versions of it were incredibly grindy and I'm already a bit burnt out on D2.

Other than that, I've been having fun kicking back and playing the American and Euro Truck sim games, while listening to a podcast or having a TV show playing on the second screen. No time limited events, no pressure, and how much "grinding" I want is completely up to me. It's a quite nice change of pace from the live-service model of recent games.

I used to be a destiny addict as well. I quit almost 10 months ago now and I’m happier for it. Games that aren’t live service feel more fun to me. I’ve been playing a bunch of different games now after just playing the one for so long. (Satisfactory, Gunfire Reborn, Deep Rock Galactic, Risk of Rain 2, and Fortnite no build or overwatch when I want to shoot real digital people )

I certainly don't blame you! I've pretty much taken a break from it this season, haven't even gotten a chance to finish the new dungeon. I did pick up Deep Rock Galactic during the summer sale, and its been fun so far!
