Hey folks, what is everyone playing this week? Are you trying something new or returning to a previously played game or genre? How are you liking what you’re currently playing?

I’ve been playing Factorio… Help
Don’t worry, they’ll be releasing the expansion soon. The factory must grow.
I’m so excited for the multi level trains. They would help me so much
This one scares me for sure haha
It’s no big deal. You just play until you realize you made some critical mistake at the beginning, and decide to just yeet a 140 hour campaign so you can fix the problem on the next go around…
I’m okay… I swear…help
I’m playing Fallout New Vegas properly for the first time. Started not too long after Starfield released and I’ve been really enjoying myself
Excellent choice! I wish I could experience FNV for the first time all over again, it’s so good. Got any idea which factions you want to align with?
So I already got the chip to Mr House. I put up with NCR I suppose. But I do enjoy the Boomers
Sadly the boomers are a minor faction, but if they did have an ending, it would be entertaining.
Been on parental leave, for a couple of days. I hooked up the PC to the living room TV and I’ve been casually playing No Man’s Sky. It’s utterly cathartic to fly around space with a 5 day old sleeping, his chest on my belly.
Hey, congrats. Ours is due early next year so I’ll be doing similar
Thanks! It’s my second, the other is 6yo now. It brings me back to my first parental leave - I played through The Witcher III with my first sleeping on my belly in a similar manner haha
Congratulations to you and the mom!
Nice! How do you like No Man’s Sky? I’ve heard it’s much better now than when it was released
Can’t speak for your interests obviously, but good enough for me spending a good chunk of 10h on it in the last 2 days. I’m a huge space nerd though, so the interstellar travel alone is worth it for me. The storyline is mostly a pretense for exploring, trade, mining stuff, which I don’t mind at all given how pretty it can be. I also really like playing alone lol. I don’t know how long it’ll stick, but it’s scratching an itch for the time being!
Just finished the main quest in Horizon Zero Dawn. Looking forward to the frozen wilds next.
Project zomboid. It’s crazy how deep the game is and the mods make it even cooler
The Resident Evil 2 remake. It’s pretty awesome honestly. I’m actually pretty surprised how good it is. It’s easily my favorite RE game behind the original release of RE4.
Back into Monster Hunter: World on PC! There’s still a small community of players filling up the servers, and it’s been fun.
Star Wars: Republic Commando. Hell yeah
Really wished this got a sequel. Awesome take on the universe and I miss squad based single player games like that.
Civ V with Vox Populi overhaul mod
For those who don’t know, Vox Populi was Community Balance Patch, was Communitas Patch, and including all the history has been in active development for almost as long as Civ V has existed. A recent change was to introduce the community council to vote on proposals.
Vox Populi is the reason I have 2510 hours of Civ V, and why I don’t care about Civ VI, as the mod makes V just far superior. For those trying it for the first time, the general recommendation is to lower your difficulty 2 steps from what you normally play, as the AI is vastly improved.
The normal install thread is here, but it’s currently in a beta state thanks to a huge code cleanup. I’m playing with the last 3.x release which you can find on their GitHub as I use other mods that are not yet updated for version 4.
There is another thread in case you want to play multiplayer as that does not support normal mods. But I only play single player ;)
Civ V is always the game I return to, or that I play when I don’t feel like playing anything else.
Baldur’s Gate 3, I’ve been playing it since it came out and I’m only on my 2nd playthrough. Looking forward to my 3rd playthrough, hopefully by that time I’ll have the heart to be able to play an evil Dark Urge run.
Picked up Skyrim Special Edition for PS4 used a while back for $5. I got the free upgrade to the PS5 version and have been playing Skyrim with my son for his first time. I am enjoying playing it again with better graphics, and he’s loving seeing it for the first time.
If I ever get back around to it I’d like to make a melee character. Seems like that would really up the challenge while fighting dragons
Just started Dragon Age Origins, I’m still at the tutorial level but it looks like a game I’d enjoy.
This is another one I’ve been meaning to play but I haven’t had the energy to start it and really enjoy it
Darktide (my zealot is getting kinda dope) and the division 2 (I have no excuses, it was on sale w/dlc and I like it when numbers go up)
The Division 2 is a solid looter shooter and cover shooter, no cope necessary.
Replaying Grim Dawn for the nth time, finishing the main campaign and then heading into the DLCs. After that, I’m not sure.
Not super old, but I’m working through Borderlands 3. I’m also playing through some old-ish games with my 9 y.o. like Portal 2, Supraland, Spyro remastered in an effort to change up his usual Fortnite/Minecraft/Roblox.
