Eyyy, same. How far in are you?
I really should get to playing that game.

Boy Dyson Sphere Program has me sucked in. I'm on my second playthrough right now and inching towards getting purple cubes plugged in. I just got logistics building finally automated too.
I'm getting ready to start Cel 6 in Antimatter Dimensions as well but that game has sorts of taken a backseat.
I hear Dyson Sphere Program was also made by a Chinese studio. Pretty intriguing...
It is! And actually like half of the mod and blueprint content for the game is all in Chinese because I guess it's pretty big over there. There's even a channel on the discord for helping with translation errors.
Oh nice.
I'm playing a bit of eu4, I like strategy game
Noice.
Mostly just FFXIV, and some Squad
I really should get back to playing FFXIV.
I'm TRYING to play Tears of the Kingdom. But I got sucked back into the infinite time pit that is Oxygen Not Included. Does anyone else here play?
Oh boy. Firstly Pathfinder: WotR was awesome. Lately I've been on cozy/sim kicks for some reason. Lots of EA games too. I've played most of Travellers Rest (decent, EA), Sun Haven (awesome, complete), Roots of Pacha (cool/different, complete). Waiting on some updates for The Ranchers (kickstarter - EA soon). Also played some tech tests for Palia (Cozy MMO? NDA active!) For strategy/4x games, I put some time into Spellforce, Against the Storm, Age of Wonder 4, and fired up Thea 2 again. All solid games. When I want to suck at games I hit Noble Fates, Dwarf Fortress, Necesse. If I want to be a rock star I fire up Vampire Survivors, or the EA for Starship Troopers. However, the other day I picked up Diablo 4, all seventy fucking dollars of it, because some friends from across the country were digging it, and now I'm level 30+ already because games are addicting.
The struggle though - Startfield and Baldur's Gate 3 coming out within like a week of each other (or a day if you preorder). Fortunately at least Starfield is going to be on Xbox PC Game Pass, so I won't have to shell out for it until it's on sale and I want to play through it again with a whole new set of untagged achievements on steam. Like I did when I completed Skyrim, and got the special edition as a separate install for a fresh set of cheevos. Ugh.
Great time to be a gamer, but not enough time to be a gamer. :)

Playing a bit of CoD World at War. This is my absolute favorite CoD. You get to mow down Nazi bastards by the hundreds, even the American storyline is at least killing Japanese Fascists. Finally a CoD game that doesn’t glorify Imperialism🙏🥹. I also play UFC 4 because I love to box, also finishing Mass Effect 2, gonna head to Mass Effect 3. Lastly, I’m playing Fallout New Vegas and am kinda bored w the Big MT DLC, idk when I’ll get back to it but I have a lvl 24 Unarmed Caesar’s Legion playthrough that is really good(I have a 9 luck, so casinos are an easy payday)
CoD World at War was the best one; I played it myself.
I need to get back into Hunt the Night, except now I'm about to replay X-COM 2 a little when I get around to it. I also been doing some small stuff in Guild Wars 2. I also was also having fun with Pillars of Eternity. I kind of just jump all over the place.
Pillars of Eternity 2 is the best of the duo.
I want to really play PoE2 since it looks really pretty! I just need to like, finish the first game first.
Yeah, there's the rub
I've been playing Diablo 4. Pretty fun so far, but an arpg can only innovate so much.
Honestly considering the RMAH fiasco of Diablo 3, I'd almost rather they not try to "innovate"

Slay the Spire has been one of my favorites for years, and recently I've been using the "Spire with Friends" mod. It allows up to 6 players to link up their runs to try to win. The added Courier map location is what pulls it all together, allowing you to spend gold to send cards and relics to your teammates.
In a normal Spire run, most of your gold is probably being used to remove your basics in shops. In a multiplayer run, there is a larger incentive to hold off on doing so, since a well timed delivery can save another player from certain death.
I should try that one; it's gotten quite the reputation over the years.
“Tainted grail: conquest” has similar gameplay done in a horror Arthurian fantasy setting. There are some really good Rogue-style deck builders out there.
interesting, thanks
I need to get back to games I started recently like Boltgun, Terra Nil, but my time is limited. Hearthstone battlegrounds is my "I finally have a min" game or "the kids are in bed and I'm finally watching TV but need to feed my ADHD" game lol. I'm into the current battlegrounds update, I'm interested to see what the new patch has for changes.
Terra Nil is super chill if you're looking for something to pass the time with.
I love the look and feel it 40K: Boltgun, little hard to play on the steam deck but it's just a learning curve I think.
40K: Boltgun is supposed to be the best boomer shooter in a while now.
I plan to play it myself.
Lol I love/hate that it's called a Boomer Shooter. I'm not getting old, I swear!

Currently playing a Restaurant Managing RPG. (You read that right).
I'm still in the hell that is FFXIV. :P
Really enjoyed the last patch, the Trial fight was pretty good and I adored how they wrapped up the Normal raid series for this expansion.
I never got past the first arc or part of Final Fantasy XIV but I did enjoy it; problem is that I lost my subscription at a certain point.
Ah that sucks. The first part is the roughest and it starts getting really good in the next expansion.
I... actually liked the first part, but lost my subscription, as I said previously.
I'm still making my way through Tears of the Kingdom. I liked Breath of the Wild, but didn't love it. But the world feels much more alive in this new game. I'm at like 100 shrines completed and I've still only done one dungeon 😅

ToTK almost done! Just switched to playing on Linux Mint (Yuzu) and it even runs smoother than Windows! I might not finish though, I feel like I played my fill.
And I'm playing Citizen Sleeper. It was in a top 10 games of 2022 list on a podcast I like and it's great but there is a lot of reading.
I played the new SpongeBob, Cosmic Shake earlier. It's a worthy successor to the series.
And I played Cassette Beasts, great spin on monster collecting which is on game pass, steam, xbox, and switch.
As far as summer games fest, I'm excited for "Stray Gods: the role playing musical." "Beastieball" and "Despelote" look great too. Despelote was described by the creator as "like a half-remembered part of his childhood" when Ecuador was first allowed to compete in the (Football) World Cup.
My wish list has gotten massive between the Wholesome Direct, Devolver Direct, and the Intel Next show.
Started playing Star Wars Force Unleashed, because I remembered it exists. Rage quit at the level where you need to pull down a star destroyer, because whoever designed that level needs a stern talk. In general the game is a fairly fun slasher, but then a boss level would start and it just because a pain. The only boss fight that wasn't annoying as heck was in Cloud City, because at least the bloke takes damage and you can yeet him over the parapet, for example.
After rage quitting, went to play some No Man's Sky again, following the current expedition, just like comrade PunsAndRoses.
To answer the question in the OP, I no longer keep up with the sales, because all of the game stores have stopped taking transactions from Russia (at least without some tomfoolery which I don't care for). So it's been mostly going through what I already have.
Been playing a lot of TFT (Teamfight Tactics) recently, especially since the new set came out.
