it’s very much borrowed from one of the reddit subs i frequent(ed) often, but the idea is to share what we’re playing weekly and hopefully create discussions around those games (or simply have a sort of “check-in”).

    Can’t seem to stop playing factorio, send help.

    The factory must expand.

        Still vanilla. I’ve only just started using logistic bots properly, converting the factory from centralised to modular production. I’ll give mods a try sometime soon but there’s so much possibility for expansion in the base game, who knows how long it’ll take.

      I installed the Space Exploration and Krastorio 2 mods and I haven’t even gotten to space yet on my year old save lol. It’s like Factorio x3 in difficulty.

        Space exp seems pretty amazing. Before factorio I was mostly pouring time into dyson sphere program, it’s strangely similar.

    I’ve been focusing most of my game time on Persona 5 Royal. It is really great. Over the weekend I played the Quarry with my family and wrapped up Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart.

    I just bought Silica and Gunner, HEAT, PC!, which have both been pretty cool so far. Both are early access games that I wanted to support.

    Silica has way more to it than I expected, and I’m excited to play more (hopefully with friends, at some point).

    GHPC is sort of like single player (for now) War Thunder, with a pretty cool simulation of Cold War era tanks and ballistics while still being fairly accessible. One interesting thing it does: the tank commander will speak to you (which is where the title of the game comes from), and it will get increasingly more tense and eventually turn into panicked screams, depending on the situation.

    I’m playing these on Linux, and I have a weird audio issue with GHPC. Nobody else seems to experience this, and it doesn’t happen on my Steam Deck.

    I bought Gris after the Neva reveal trailer. It’s truly one of the most beautiful games I’ve ever played, and the score is just as noteworthy.

    Death Stranding. Was sceptic for a long time, if the concept of the game is for me and motivating enough to keep me playing. Picked it up during a sale recently and really got hooked. With not much time to game it is nice to deliver a few packages and be able to quit again. Story is so cryptic that it feels like it does not matter if you forget something after a week long break and the atmosphere of the game feels really nice.

      I had the same experience. The way people described it I put it off for a long time, but when I finally started I was also hooked. Put like >90 hours on my first playthrough, which is pretty unusual for me.

        Yeah, exactly. I am at about 35 h into the game and so far I do not feel any kind of burnout coming. It is so satisfying to drive along your own roads and unlocking new blueprints from satisfied costumers. Hope this keeps going.
