Crusader Kings is a grind of a game.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Yeah, but that's a grind I want to eventually get into. Purposefully holding back from playing 4x and city-builders for the time being, as I want to actually have time for my son.

Fully expecting to pump a few hundred hours into the next Zelda, though.

Yep, but its more fun. Having a yearly Ultimate Team that sets Back every New game seems pointless now... After playing this the past 10 years in various games.

NHL with online franchise mode followed by HUT 15/16/17 was fun. All while EASHL was at its peak around this time (and 13/14)

I had fun playing Civilization 6.
I'm mostly done with competitive online modes.
Getting old

The last way to safely play my favorite games growing up. f*** Activision. Assholes.

If anyone is unaware, all the old Call of Duty games on PC allow remote code execution through online gameplay, essentially have your PC taken over by another user.

Activision still sells these games at FULL PRICE on Steam, and open source people have released these clients to make the games playable again without RCE.

Been playing the Resident Evil 4 Remake the past month, it's fantastic.

Gonna put it down soon and transition to the new Zelda game. BOTW is still my favorite game of all time and put in over 200 hours...so definitely fired up for Zelda.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Tears of the Kingdom is a damn good time sink, I'll say that much. I'm actually legitimately amazed at how much of everything they added to the game and it still fits on a Switch cartridge.

And I still feel like I've only scratched the surface despite probably having put 15-20 hours into it already.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Apparently 30 hours as of last night, actually. And I've only been wandering aside from one story mission.

Anyone playing BattleBit Remastered??

Looks like a fun shooter. Not sure it sticks longer than 2-3 months. Gameplay like Battlefield should be.
Haven't played it myself yet, but I think you can really enjoy this game.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Still have my hands full with TotK.

Im enjoying it immensely. Not sure it has staying power but until xDefiant, its awesome.

Mostly playing Apex, but there's gonna be a Tarkov wipe next month and for the first eight weeks of a wipe that's the best game I've ever played.

Doesn't Tarkov have like an assload of cheaters.

Doesn't every major PC shooter?

Yeah. Some more than others. I heard Tarkov was like.. egregious though. I think this video is the one that set it off.

I've seen that video but it's never felt overtly more egregious than any other game.

Assuming you play Apex on console, is there no crossplay?

Can play with PC and playstation. Apex doesn't have much of a cheating problem until you get to the top of the ranked lobbies.

Ive just been locked on BattleBit for past three weeks or so. So fun.

 

[Bubba88]

Friend plays a 25 year NHL GM Mode. It's fun when you only sim it and try to keep it real. Storylines can happen every once in a while.
Thanks to share screen it has become a group project


Other than that I think I might finish Valhalla after taking another year long break...

 

[blams]

At the final boss fight in diablo 4 campaign play through. Its been a blast.

Im jumping into Season 1 with a Rogue this weekend.

Still hoping we get a Paladin or Crusader class added before two long.

Been grinding out my first run through BG3. I have 174 hours played on it, and all I have left is the final battle.
