2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

idle dice 2

A modded version of Final Fantasy Tactics
Brought my steamdeck to our new years party and managed to snag 2 others to play brotato in multiplayer for a bit. I thought it would be more popular to play some games since that is how we all know each other. Otherwise it would have been Factorio: space age.
A Traveller character creation session.
Commandos: Beyond the call of duty.
Old enough to be good (no dark patterns or other bullshit), new enough to be playable (the first Commandos is just too pixelated, you need hyper vision to play it).
What a game.
I think it was either Mouthwashing, which I definitively finished that day (loved it), or Animal Well, which I bought that day and played a lot since.
Heavily modded Risk of Rain 2, because somehow itβs still a delightful gem
Foxhole. Looks like a silly little indie game, but boy there are huge scale mechanics and coop required. I'm kinda fascinated and want to play even more, not sure if work and life actually allows me to play a lot though.
Core Keeper, I've known about it for a while but never really looked into it, tried it out and it's much better than I thought it'd be! Basically Terraria with a top down view, really fun.
Some RuneScape private server called August lmao.
Also been playing some Battle for Middle Earth online with the fam: bfmeladder.com

As much as I'd have liked it to be some kind of active or skill based game, it was either going to be webfishing or revolution idle.
I recently picked up secrets of grindea, but after having binged it for a few days, I'm grinded out. I need to earn so much gold if I want to collect all the things and it feels like my combat power has hit a wall. There are a few non-grind things I could tackle, but I'll just wait a bit and let burnout go away.
Brotato
A Short Hike
Final Fantasy XIV
Samurai Zero. I haven't attempted speed runs, but I just finished the game.
Dave the diver
Dungeons of dreadlock
A Plague Tale: Innocence. Not my typical type of game, but I wanted a nice story and it provided.
Max Payne 2
Boardgame: Marvel Champions LCG. Not a surprise because it's my most played solo game since the release of the core set.
Videogame: Dead Cells. I'm a patient gamer who likes indie games.
NFS Unbound⦠Not great but I was just trying to finish it lol
Bought, played and refunded Foxhole
The Quarry
Haven't completed it yet, so it'll be the first game I play in 2025 π
Fantasian. It was made by the father of Final Fantasy Hironobu Sakaguchi and composed by Nobuo Uematsu and feels just like a PS1 era FF game. It's a bittersweet sensation knowing this is probably the last time we'll have such a title made by these legendary figures working together but I'm happy they released it all the same.
It was either noita or war thunder, was playing both last night and I forget which I was playing before midnight
Kingdom: Two Crowns, the Call of Olympus DLC. Also the first game of 2025 we played, we only took a small break at midnight.
Deadlock
World of Sisters it's a hentai game!
Sea of Stars, Marvel Rivals, and Superhot VR were the three games my spouse and I played that day.
Echoes of wisdom
It was going to be Hogwarts legacy, but I had a flight and played xenogears on my phone
Warframe. First game I'll play in 2025 too.
Emberward, a tower defense where you build the walls out of Tetris blocks.
Played and finished: Lisa The Joyful
Played: PoPoLoCrois
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3
Caves of Qud. I was playing it when the clock hit midnight because I lost track of time.
Roboquest! I got my first completed run just in time!
WH40K: Chaos Gate
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, a few days ago. Been busy or just didn't feel like gaming since then.
