    Still on metal gear solid 5 the phantom pain. I’m taking my time. I’ve put about 60 hours into it so far and still have lots to do. Not bad value when I picked up ground zeros and TPP for like 7 shmeckles in a steam sale.

    RDR2 on Steam Deck. I never got far when I originally played it on my PC a few years ago and have been itching to play it again for the last few weeks.

    Started a new game and so far it’s running really good.

    Work and IRL stuff does not leave me with a lot of hours to game, but I did manage to put in a good few hours.

      Reminds me so much of my situation. I have two kids and having a steam deck has changed everything for me, I went from not having time and/or brain space to game to being able to pick up my deck here and there and play when and where I want and not need to be at my desk or the couch.

      I’m going through CP77 and plan to pick up RDR2 next sale.

    This is super niche but I’ve been playing some older games from my childhood with RetroAchievements on my Steam Deck. Right now I’m playing through Pokémon Platinum, and trying to get all the achievements has me engaging with systems I didn’t even know existed! It’s really fun and super rewarding.

    Also been using it to play SSX Tricky. RetroAchievements has leaderboards for some games, so seeing my time at the end of a race compared with everyone else’s is pretty surreal.

    Grim Dawn on Steam Deck and finishing up the collectables on Quantum Break which I usually stream that from my PC to my Steam Deck. I absolutely love the Steam Deck.

    For better or worse I can sit and play way longer sitting on the couch with my Steam Deck than at the desk in front of my computer.

    Decided to give cs2 a shot, probably haven’t played CS since shortly after csgo was released. Community seems worse, but do those reflexes kick back in even when you’re an old man, and hearing the laments from young people as you mop the floor with them is an unexpected joy.

      I haven’t played CS2 yet, but since it’s an update/expansion/molting of CSGO, you’re going to have a rough time with the community until you’re out of “silver hell”. Once you rank up enough that you’ve gotten away from the spamming kiddies and smurfs, it’s a better time. At least until you reach ultra high rank where people start taking the game too seriously, but floating between Gold Nova and Master Guardian 1 ranks is the most fun place to be.

    Torn between continuing my Zenith playthrough of Terraria and learning more Oxygen Not Included. I probably shouldn’t have started both of those at the same time

    I’ve been bouncing between Red Dead 2 and Cyberpunk (don’t have the new DLC yet though, was going to clear all the base gigs first). I love the open world whiplash I’m getting between these two amazing character driven stories.

    Against the Storm. I can pick it up whenever I have a free minute, and pause it or save and quit when I need to be doing something else. It’s just enough of a challenge to be immersive when I’m playing, but the stakes are low enough that it’s not stressful. And the music/ambient noise is lovely.

    I can’t remember the specific name, but I am playing the latest in the Monkey Island series. I know it got a lot of hate online due to its unique graphics, but it has all the humor I always loved about Monkey Island and it is definitely worth playing. Especially since it is free on gamepass
