        Played hard for a couple weeks but got bored kinda quick. Feel like I wish there were, idk, more things to do or story to unfold.

        Was playing in a buddy’s server initially so maybe part of losing interest kinda quick was not wanting to run all the early game again solo.

          Yep, I get that. The poorly functioning building, pathfinding issues for pals in base and the lack of endgame makes it that we parked it for now and will circle back when the devs had time to figure out their next moves, and if they don’t end up escaping to some tropical island with their earnings it will be fun in a year.

    The Finals is probably one of the better shooters to come out in a minute, especially if you like lots of gatgets and tools. My only real complaint is that devs are reactive to game balance and don’t seem to think about how the game will ultimately be played.

    GRID (2019), there seems to be a lack of decent arcade track racers nowadays but this is a good one.

    Less “playing” and more “bug testing”. In the final stages of developing an aircraft for XPlane 11/12 and have been putting in a lot of hours in flight looking for graphical glitches, system bugs, etc…

    Been playing Helldivers 2, really fun game!
    Question about it: It offers a curved HUD option in the settings, which is really neat in the YT vids I’ve seen, especially since I have a curved monitor. I’d love to enable this, but it doesn’t work at all for me. Does it for anyone else?

    Since release I’ve been playing BG3 every week with a friend and we finally beat the game on Saturday. Great game, but man we’ve been playing it for a long time.

    Picked up Viewfinder yesterday. Fun little indie puzzler. Very cool concept, don’t know how much I care about the plot or anything but it’s got some of the same trippy fun as Superliminal.

    Oh, and I played a couple hours of Against the Storm and have been hesitant to pick it up again because I’m pretty sure it’s going to be problematic for my already busy schedule.

    I’ve been glued to BeamNG.drive, ever since I finally broke down and decided “it’s not gonna get much cheaper than this” during the Steam sale.

    It’s exactly, precisely what I thought it would be. Half completely freeform “let’s crash cars and watch them crumple in slow motion” and half “let’s do these scenarios.” Flip back and forth between the two, and it’s suddenly “oh, SHIT, how did three hours go by already???”

    I’ll get around to poking my nose into the modding scene, soon enough, too. I haven’t even touched that side of it, yet.

    Also, the game apparently has VR support, which I didn’t realize until I bought it. I haven’t bothered trying that out, since I also don’t have my driving wheel set up, at the moment. Driving games with a controller are basically the only category of VR content that can give me the ol’ lunch-launch-itis.

    This is my conundrum.

    I would like to play Age of Water for Xbox Series X.

    …at the same time;

    I would like to not be disappointed.

    hAlp?
