    I’m playing Fallout New Vegas properly for the first time. Started not too long after Starfield released and I’ve been really enjoying myself

      Excellent choice! I wish I could experience FNV for the first time all over again, it’s so good. Got any idea which factions you want to align with?

        So I already got the chip to Mr House. I put up with NCR I suppose. But I do enjoy the Boomers

          Sadly the boomers are a minor faction, but if they did have an ending, it would be entertaining.

      Nice! How do you like No Man’s Sky? I’ve heard it’s much better now than when it was released

    Back into Monster Hunter: World on PC! There’s still a small community of players filling up the servers, and it’s been fun.

    Project zomboid. It’s crazy how deep the game is and the mods make it even cooler

      Really wished this got a sequel. Awesome take on the universe and I miss squad based single player games like that.

    A lot of Kingdom Rush Origins. Working on beating the campaign on impossible. I definitely recommend it if you are a fan of tower defense games.

      Except those last few levels, virtually impossible on impossible mode with the free-tier heroes:-(. I tend to like the original and Frontiers much better, though ironically Origins was one of the most “balanced” of them all, and that was neat to experience as well:-).

      e.g. archer towers should shoot singly, fast, and at high range, while barracks hold the line and are focused more on defense, right? Nope, the former do AoE magic bombs instead, while the latter shoots arrows into the sky. And artillery should focus on offense and hit AoE in as wide an area as possible, right? Nope, there are tanky bears and the shots hit only a narrow space. I’m cherry-picking these examples, but you get the idea - every tower does stuff that overlaps with what you would think other tower types might do instead, which makes for some fun thinking to deal with the foes.:-D

    Replaying Grim Dawn for the nth time, finishing the main campaign and then heading into the DLCs. After that, I’m not sure.

    Picked up Skyrim Special Edition for PS4 used a while back for $5. I got the free upgrade to the PS5 version and have been playing Skyrim with my son for his first time. I am enjoying playing it again with better graphics, and he’s loving seeing it for the first time.

      If I ever get back around to it I’d like to make a melee character. Seems like that would really up the challenge while fighting dragons

    Baldur’s Gate 3, I’ve been playing it since it came out and I’m only on my 2nd playthrough. Looking forward to my 3rd playthrough, hopefully by that time I’ll have the heart to be able to play an evil Dark Urge run.

    Just started Dragon Age Origins, I’m still at the tutorial level but it looks like a game I’d enjoy.

      This is another one I’ve been meaning to play but I haven’t had the energy to start it and really enjoy it
