    I’m still playing the hell outta Baldur’s Gate 3. I’ve played through so many times, have multiple multiplayer campaigns going on, and I’m just having a lot of fun with mods.

      Also still playing but still on the first play through. Such a good game. I didn’t try any mods yet. Are there any you can recommend?

        The Improved UI mods are definitely nice. Better Containers too. Uncomplicated mods that improve general usability. I also like the Pretty Font Project.

        Achievement Enabler, the Mod Fixer, and the Native Mod Loader are all also helpful, though I’m not entirely sure they are needed for the UI mods, though it doesn’t hurt to have them. The Achievement Enabler allows you to still earn achievements with mods if that wasn’t obvious, and the native mod loader allows the game to load the achievement enabler.

        Beyond that, I’d recommend just looking around on Nexus. There are thousands to look through, ranging from improving classes and races to adding spells to straight up making you a god.

    I gave in to the hype and bought BG3. And this is the first time in ages where I’ve bought a brand new AAA game and not been disappointed.

    I have a brand new PC, so it’s about time I ran something more demanding than Factorio on it.

        I know. I have an angelbob megabase save that clocks in at 788MB. To play it I need to add an additional 16GB of swap. I figured that it was about time the GPU did some heavy lifting too.

    In my case I’m finishing Sea of Stars, a very good old-school RPG. You get 22h+ of main story in easy mode, I think it is worth the price.

    Completely in love with Starfield. Just finished a big storyline that had the feel of a good TV serial. The sort of self-directed epilogue of looking at my quest log and trying decide what I want to do next felt awesome and I’m going to be chasing that for while.

      Same here, played the UC SysDef undercover questline yesterday and couldn’t stop playing, so i ended up playing until 3 am lol. The amount of stuff that’s in all those side quests is amazing.

        That’s the one I was talking about! What did you do in the end? I stuck with space cops and regretted it until they gave me the reward. Big chunk of change.

          I did the same, wouldn’t have fit my character to choose the pirates lol.

          Might turn into a criminal in my NG+ run later on and choose the pirates instead haha

          And yeah definitely worth the credits^^

            Yeah I’m trying to play a sort of Picard paragon but I’m already thinking a sort of loveable scoundrel anti-hero for my next play through.

    Borderlands. Always thought it was an arcade/retro shooter, turns out it’s an rpg. It was exactly what I was looking for. Although I don’t really understand why some of my shots miss

    Noita, kind of. It’s daunting knowing how much there’s to the game and I seldomly get past the first level

      Great game I could never get past the bad generated items and associated stats. The effect it had on boss item drops reducing the value of them so much it became little reward to me.

    Playing Starfield. I love exploring and I love the atmosphere. The least buggy launch I’ve seen from Bethesda. It’s great.

    I wanna get back into AC6 and try my hand at pvp but every time I try I get nervous and chicken out. If anyone knows of a place for noobs to hangout, chat, and learn the game please let me know.

    Baldurs Gate 3 was released on Friday on Mac. I played the preview and some hours on parallels and am glad now I can play natively now.

    My problem is, this world is to big. I like role playing my character, even if it is not optimal. I read every dialogue and think: “what would Hsslek (my Githyanki Dragonborn Wizard) do?”

    The great thing is, after around 50 hours I now have a picture of my character. A curious mind, not always fitting into Githyanki society, but counting on the Githyanki Warrior who shares his fate and is becoming his lover.

    Got Hardspace: Shipbreaker on sale the other day on Steam and been pleasantly surprised with it. Sometimes I’ll blow the ship up for giggles and restart.

      I also just got it on sale. I told a friend my dream game was a sim where you scrap and dismantle different Star Wars ships and vessels - they pointed me towards this game right during the sale. It’s been a lot of fun!

        Weird, because that’s what I used and it shows as blocked for me.

          Some clients may support features that Lemmy doesn’t, especially if they are Reddit client ports. For now the only official way is the one I linked.

    Just switched from starfield back to cyberpunk for the 2.0 update. It’s consuming my life again. When I finish the dlc I’ll switch back to starfield and let that consume my life.

      Same here dude haha. Starfield was fun, but man has Night City just sucked me back in. I love Cyberpunk so much. I am looking forward to going back to Starfield at some point, it is a great chill out and vibe kinda game.

    I just finished playing the System Shock Remaster yesterday night after ~22 hours. I could still do everything from memory pretty much, and it remains an amazing game to this day, especially with the slick fresh paintcoat from the remaster.

    Now I’m exploring Shadow Gambit a bit. Always loved the Commandoes games, and this is the third - and sadly final - Mimimi game that copies the gameplay verbatim. And from the little I’ve played so far, it’s fantastic. Having actual supernatural characters fits the abilities really well, and the voicework is done tremendously well, too.

      My only suggestion would be to take your time and take breaks between them to play other games. They’re great, but they’re all very similar. An easy recipe for burnout.

        Second this. They have so many activities, but kinda repetitive if play each entry back to back. With a somewhat Grundy nature, it burnt out fast, if not rush.
