Work has completely drained me the past few weeks so I'm lucky if I have the energy to put like thirty minutes into ZZZ.
Then I usually zone out and try to watch a let's play of the nonary games (virtues last reward currently) and fall asleep about twenty minutes in and have to spend ten minutes finding what I remember before I passed out.
I'm trying to finish dragons dogma 2, basically still enjoying randomly wandering and leveling and killing monsters and such.
I'm trying to start persona 5 since I got it for free ages ago and I'd like to play through one of them.
I did manage to to finally finish tears of the kingdom after like 400 hours. Pretty good final boss and such. The ending was typical Zelda shit but it is expected.
I wish I wasn't falling asleep by like 7pm but I just can't seem to maintain my energy past that point anymore.
I've taken a small break from the sf6 grind. Need to reset myself a bit both to rediscover my drive and also unlearn some bad habits.
-I beat silent Hill remake. I liked it although I'm not quite sure what to make of the whole thing overall. Mainly I do think the whole thing is like 8 hours two long and I would like an abbreviation to match what I hear the original was like. I got the "bad" ending but tbh it seemed like a satisfactory end for Sunderland.
-did the Valhalla dlc for god of war now that its on PC. Good stuff. Shades of Hades. That conclusion and monologue was legit.
-my son and I have been playing little nightmares 2 together. We did part one for Halloween and now we're knew deep in the sequel.
-i feel since silent Hill and outer wilds echoes of the she I can actually kinda do horror finally.
Next on my playlist is probably last of us on PC...but I still need to play disco Elysium.
Replaying Half Life 2 for the 20th anniversary. Having fun listening to the developer commentary as i go. Official workshop integration is cool too - i immediately installed the mod that makes the Citadel play Caramelldansen.
Good luck with the job interview! For games, I've been jumping around a bit.

Space Station 14. Ever-present. I pretty much exclusively clown/mime/tide.
-
Yakuza 0. I finally started making progress in the series and beat this one.
-
Metaphor Refantazio. I'm still getting started in it, but I'm liking what I see so far.
-
In Stars and Time. I just started this on the recommendation of a friend. The dialogue has a bit too much bottom-speak
so I'm trying to power through it.

Company of Heroes 2. I picked this back up again to play with some friends. I main OKW since it fits best with my play style.
space station 14?!?
how is it? more user friendly? expanded mechanics?
how is it?
Interesting! I played a lot of SS13 years and years ago, mostly on /tg/station. I saw the trailer for SS14 during the PC gaming show a few months ago. It brings back a lot of memories for me with the rough edges sanded off. I don't know what SS13 is like today so it's hard for me to do a direct comparison between the two.
more user friendly?
I have no idea how SS13 plays today, but SS14 feels a lot more modern than what I remember. It's off that god-awful BYOND platform and running off of a custom engine called Robust Toolbox (heh) written in C#. The performance is generally lag-free and can handle some wild player counts (Colonial Marines is capped at 350 people and has ~160 in a game right now late on a Sunday). It also allows for neat stuff like piloting shuttles in game. For example, when you play cargo, you actually have to fly the cargo shuttle to the trading station. You can also build custom shuttles (lovingly called shittles) which salvage has to do. There are a lot of context menus when you're constructing/deconstructing objects that tell you what tool you need to use next so you aren't left guessing. Perhaps most interesting to me is that the movement isn't grid-based, it's all free movement so you don't get in those weird juggling-back-and-forth-with-another-character situations.
expanded mechanics?
Quite the opposite on the official SS14 servers, at least. Plenty of things are lacking, particularly in medical. Currently, there is no surgery, genetics, or virology on the official servers though surgery is a focus currently. It's also lacking in antags as well. You're limited to traitors, thieves, nukies, zombies, and rarely rev.

I finished Final Fantasy VIII, playing MGS1 and starting Dragon Quest 3.
playing MGS1
First time?
No, but first time I was a child. Iβm having a lot of moments where Iβm like howβd I beat this as a child?
Played some more Monster Hunter: Rise, as well as got a bit further in my Dawn of War: Dark Crusade game.
Also won my latest monthly 40k game which leaves me as the undefeated champion of season 2. Space Communism with Giant Tank Characteristics has been proven to be the only ideology that works.

Working my way through Sonic 3 
Hydrocity Zone Act 2's music goes way harder than any water level has a right to.
I'm very late bloomer Sonic fan out there for whatever reason. My buddy had a Genesis, and some of my earliest memories were of goofing around in Green Hill Zone. I'm not sure why it took me another 33 years to actually try playing them in earnest, but I'm glad I did.
Interesting! I played through the first three Sonic games about two years ago. What did you think?

Itwasa a big Ace Combat week for me (playingthrough the series). Finished up AC5 and moving onto Belkan War now.
Forgive Me Father. I didn't play much, cause these Doomlikes are a bit too hard for me.
Help, I'm trapped in a xcom long war campaign
I just started Bear and Breakfast. It's casual and comfy to the point of barely even being a game so much as it's an interior decorating toy.
I played like 2 minutes of the intro - does it have an actual plot like it implies at the beginning, or is it mostly aimless cozy gaming?
I'm not that far into it, but so far it's mostly running on cozy vibes, cute art, and charming characters. There is some lore about humans ruining everything sprinkled around but mostly you're just a sweet himbo bear who likes interior decorating.
Sounds cool, but definitely one that I need to be in the right mood for. I got it as an EGS freebie a little while ago 
Yeah same way I got it. Wouldn't have even bothered pirating it tbh but it's nice enough
I finished Zone of the Enders, and figured out the point where I remember a childhood friend of mine screaming at the game (lol).
Other than that, picked up the DLC for Battletech and have been picking at that here and there. I'm enjoying the mecha tactics RPG with light management sim elements!
Had taken a break from Silent Hill 2, so I got back into it today. Aside from that, not much else really.
Happy birthday!
I've been playing Elin, an Early Access JRPG/survival/crafting/roguelike thing. It took a little getting the hang of, but I've settled into a rhythm of dungeon diving for items to get money to pay my taxes, gathering crafting materials in the wilderness, and working on my base.
Happy Birthday!!
Playing Deadlock right now but have Disco Elysium and God of War: Ragnarok Iβm planning on getting back to soon.
Old school runescape. Which im pretty sure means im spiralling.
