Gaming

Bored with the feeling of nothing to play.

I finished TotK, as in finished all of the shrines. I was planning a pokemon fan game on my steam deck for about a week but finished that too. I was playing Melvoe Idle on my phone for the last 6+ months but just 100% it.

I feel like I am growing out of video games a bit. Work and young kids make it hard to put energy in a game unless I'm really into it.

Well, Warcraft 3 Reforged isn't actually as bad as I thought it would be. I thought it was going to be this awful crap experience, but I really haven't seen that (okay yes, it has crashed on me once). I picked it up a few days ago and it's been one helluva nostalgic power run. XD I think they actually did a fairly good job of just upgrading the graphics but still keep the style the same, even though I wasn't a huge fan of the overly comic styling of War3. I haven't done custom maps nor campaigns yet, I know people complained about the campaigns not working. I really only played the Founding of Durotar when I was young.

IDK, it really isn't as bad as I thought. I heard that a new-ish team is running now, so maybe it will get better. I would like to get a custom game browser built into the game, similar to what Star craft 2 does.

It's been fun double timing War3 and D4 the last few days. :)

I have so many games that i've gotten from ps plus and steam sales that if I was back in middle school i would be having a fucking field day. Back then i only had like 1 or 2 games that i was actively playing (mostly kotor and halo games), now i have so little time tho, my backlog is insane and i don't know where to start.

I need to finish hollow knight and elden ring and then i have all these long, heavy hitters in my backlog like witcher 3, rdr2, dragon age inquisition, elder scrolls online, salt and sanctuary, superhot, star wars republic commando, half life 1, deus ex 1, metroid samus returns, celeste, far cry 3, and tons tons more, and if i get my ps3 set up there's even more.

Too many games too little time

I finally found a way to end my inability to stop playing WoW after 18+ years of it. I didn't consider myself "addicted" - as I am able to maintain career & family, it was more about it meant I didn't play any other game. I ended the issue by requesting a "private information removal" - which hard-deletes every aspect of your entire battle.net account. Gone. 13,000 hours and it feels great. I also don't feel like I "lost" anything. When you see a 2 hour movie, but then you leave the theatre when it's over - do you regret spending 2 hours? No, you don't.

AAAAnd the very next act I took was to make a new Battle.net account to play Diablo4. The wheel of time, and all.

In other thoughts, I don't expect D4 to be forever, and I look forward to smaller/indie games on Steam. Looks like I need to try Dwarf Fortress, RimWorld, and others.

I've been on an ESO kick for about 4 years. I start other games, but I'd rather be playing ESO. I have no interest in solo games, and I enjoy the mechanics. Outside of the bit of lag/disconnect in the massive PVP area (Cyrodiil), there aren't any problems that are game breaking, noticeable, or noteworthy (except by minmaxers, who complain about everything in every game).

I'm happy just plodding along in ESO solo, or in group, and have developed a large friend base there. It's turned into a much happier alternative to WoW for me, and I don't see myself doing much in other games for quite a while.

I miss games that were just fun. I was on PTO last week and at one point I had two idle games on my desktop while I was playing Puzzle Quest 3 (also free-to-play and I was aggressively approaching the pay-to-win wall). I hate how addictive those games are but I keep coming back until I'm bored stiff and they're still not getting a single penny out of me.

When I finally put those down, I moved to Diablo IV which is a mindless hack-and-slash with a too-complicated-to-figure-out skill tree. I don't even know what most of the skills are, the descriptions are too jargony to make any sense, but they're upgrades so they must be good, right?

I've played every game in the franchise but It's been years since I actively enjoyed Assassin's Creed. It'd been slowly downhill since Brotherhood (temporarily ignoring the garbage fire that was ACIII) but it really took a nosedive when it also became just another a hack-and-slash occasionally interrupted by a story that I never cared about. Actually, I can't tell you a single thing that happened in any of the AC stories ... except beating up the pope at the end of ACII. That was fun. Aside from that, the storyline in any game is pretty much lost on me. Don't care, never will. Just tell me what I need to know in a little box in the corner.

Playing Pathfinder:wotr and The Outer World, havin' a blast.

Man I had to blast through Tears because I'm moving and I'm leaving the Switch behind with my family... would've liked to take my time, do all the shrines and side quests. Too bad!

Game ended on a fantastic note through!

Alternating between Tears of the Kingdom and Vampire Survivors.

I'm having a ton of fun playing the remake of System Shock. Earlier I played Pentiment, which was amazing, and wasn't able to get on other games until System Shock came out, which I must say that I'm having a blast with it.

When I finish System Shock, I'm planning on starting Deus Ex or something similar.

Still haven't gotten over my Elden Ring addiction, coming up on 250 hours. Experimenting with different builds is really fun, and I do like the fashionsouls / elden bling aspect too. Pretty excited about the DLC as well.

Other than that EU4 and some classic Halo multiplayer have been occupying the rest of my time.

I'm honestly pretty positive around the number of games I get to play on Game Pass. Several major releases I was excited about are coming there this month, and even if they weren't, I'd usually be able to find something.

Tears of the Kingdom has kept me busy enough.

I'm playing the same multiplayer games over and over but I'm not really progressing on my backlog of games and it's been this way for 6 months, so i think it could be going better

I have 68 games in my Steam library that I haven't touched.

On the other hand, I just finished Monument Valley 2 this weekend!
