Factorio, hours upon hours of Factorio. I go to bed planning my next expansion. I wake up from dreaming about it. It’s consumed my life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
The factory must grow
yeah, that checks out
Finished Milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk last night and picked up the next one Milk outside a bag of milk outside a bag of milk.
It’s definitely very strange and unsettling, but I like it.
I just played these a couple of days ago. Fascinating games, both of them. And the difference in production is staggering.
I’ve been feeling the Elder Scrolls itch and with the spooky season upon us, I decided it’s a good time to finally dig into Tamriel Rebuilt (which just got a new release BTW). The quality of what I’ve seen so far is stellar, it feels like it’s an official Bethesda content (and I mean that in the best way possible).
Tamriel Rebuilt is just so so good can’t recommend it enough to anyone who wants to try
It really is! It’s honestly amazing how much love Morrowind is getting even even 21 years after it’s release! Between Tamriel Rebuilt and OpenMW, the game actually just keeps getting better and better with time!
YEP it is just great. There is still so many things to look foward to even though the game is 21 year old thanks to the wonderfull modding community and openmw. I just love it so much. Also on an unrelated note I love how tightly knit together morrowind community is, I got to interract with some amazing people and incredibly talented modders and you can tell that everything about the morrowind modding comes from a place of love and passion for the game and the community and I am just so glad to be a part of it.
Abandoned Starfield a week ago. Have been and mostly will be playing:
- Batman: Arkham Knight
- Death Stranding: Directors Cut
Got them last week on discount.
Death Stranding is SO GOOD
Yes. Strange that an idea of hiking simulator actually works.
Death Stranding might be the exact opposite of Starfield in design philosophy

It’s been a long time, but I remember liking Jaal, Vetra, Drack, and Peebee a lot. I also remember Peebee being controversial in terms of you love her or hate her.
Got way too much on the go right now.
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Astroneer
- Ion Fury
- Timberborn
- Sea Of Stars
Diablo 2 hardcore. Currently gearing up to take on hell with my javazon.
Also playing some super Mario wonder. It’s a very fun and enjoyable game so far.
trackmania, full speed maps. v addictive.
I went back to playing Slay the Spire for a bit, since it’s almost N7 Day, but I might just replay Disco Elysium in stead. After ME, maybe it’s time to try Starfield? Have seen too many negative reviews to really want to pay full price for it, but we’ll see.
Just finished Sea of Stars. I never 180’d from a game so much.
I started it a week and a half ago, and I was in love with the game. The story was cliché, sure, but everything else was perfect, and the characters were kind of cute.
But the third act feels too rushed and the ending… Oh boy, the ending. It just doesn’t feel like an ending at all. I was extremely disappointed with it, and too many setpieces just led to nowhere.
And the true ending was even worse, in that it not only has very arbitrary requirements to unlock (including finding all 60+ collectibles scattered across the map in random locations), but ruins one of the best and arguably the most emotional moments of the game as well.

I despise time travel. Always. It just doesn’t work, unless you put a lot of thought into it, and the Sea of Stars developers clearly didn’t even try.
Cities: Skylines 2! Poor performance aside it’s easy to see the potential, and it’s still a lot of fun. I still get around 30 fps at 1440p in my small town
Yeah the performance is crap but at least it is the kind of game where you can play with worse framerate pretty alright.
I’m waiting for the mod update, hoping they will have fixed most of the bugs/performance by then and the mods can fix the rest.
Glad that the base game seems to be sound.
Finished three games this weekend:
-
The Talos Principle. I’ve had this game for years, but always bounced off during the second world. Finally stuck with it in anticipation of the sequel. Overall, not as difficult as I imagined, but some puzzles are quite frustrating, either because the solution feels like a bug or because the setup is long and a mistake requires a full reset. Still very enjoyable even though I didn’t care much about the story.
-
FF7 Remake Intergrade. Not much to say about this one. Very solid DLC and just the right length. Next up: Continuing my playthrough of the original FF7 from where Remake ended.
-
Cocoon. Probably my favorite game of the year beside Hi-Fi Rush. Really cool main mechanic that’s explored at a very enjoyable pace. All puzzle elements are clearly telegraphed as well and unintentional red herrings get blocked off to avoid confusion. Didn’t really see this game get noticed though, which is a shame.
-
Darkest Dungeon
Fascinating game that beats your ass non-stop and yet you ask for it again.
I just started Dave the Diver on the switch and I’m hooked!
Can only talk about my watch list :
- Dave the Diver, on my Mac . Sadly, steam only.
- dredge, PS4
- thinking about cyberpunk but ps4 might grind
- also BF2042 maybe for a shooter
Also looking for some kind of chill farming / city building thing, for the mac, to play in bed, if anyone has anything ?
For farming, I’ll assume you’ve tried Stardew, but if not that’s the obvious answer.
There’s a new one out called Vexland which might interest you. I haven’t tried it.
Another stardew is what I’m looking for !
We all are. Looks like there will be a 1.6 update with some new content. I never explored the additional 1.5 content, but it seemed like a good bit.
Project zomboid might quench that thirst with its farming foraging and fishing mechanics it’s a really good game I’ve put 860 hours into it myself since buying it in late 2018
