Finally picked up the Brotato DLC. Despite the mixed reviews I find it a lot of fun.
I also got Lonestar which is a space themed deck/bag and tableau builder roguelite. Enjoying it a lot so far. Probably won't have quite as much longevity as the best of the genre but I think it will be good for a few dozen hours.
I also tried Undertale (currently at an all time low of $0.99) and Reventure but I didn't end up keeping those. They felt too clunky and I guess they are not really my jam.

Just finished Half Life 1. Currently going through Half Life 2.
Can’t remember if I finished this game before. But if I have, it’s at least 10 years ago. So most things are new to me.
Ravenholm being the only exception.
I’m currently playing Skyrim LE!
Medieval Dynasty and Biped (both in co-op). The former when playing longer sessions after work, runs great and overall a very fun experience. A lot like early Valheim discovery but centered around the settlement, and much better than Aska from both graphics, performance and UI point of view. Biped is for shorter sessions, like lunch breaks, just to finish a level around a coffee. Biped was a joke at some point since we were unable to see each other in-game and network was kinda broken. But now it's lovely, one of the best 2 bucks purchases.
Just finished outer wilds, started its DLC on the side. Started cyberpunk for the first time and i throw in some dirt rally here and there.
Hitman: World of Assassin
I'm playing through Dark Souls 2, and Horizon Zero Dawn. I'm really surprised how well horizon runs, although I'm capping the fps at 30 for a more stable experience. Balatro has also been a big one
I decided to replay The Witcher 3, runs great on the deck. Though, some text is a bit small. Been long enough that i can't remember all that much.
Gravity Circuit! This game captures the feel of Mega man Zero really well.
I recommend starting in hard mode since normal mode can easily be pushed through with upgrades.
Breath of the Wild And Wreckfest
Hades 2 (got a recent early access update), Persona 4 and Thimbleweed Park
Mass Effect trilogy!
put path of exile 2 on hold for a while, found it suprisingly playable until i've started doing the delirium and breach endgame-mechanics in high tier maps. might try to atleast defeat the citadel bosses and the boss that grants me entrance to before 0.2.0 hits, but probably not.
actually started playing the soul reaver remake, and thats still a great game, but a lemmy thread mentioned pokemon unbound which lead me to replaying that, so soul reaver might have to wait a bit longer :D
Mh world
Pretty sure the last thing I played on it, when I had the time and drive during the week, was Sonic Mania. Absolutely love that game.
Blasphemous 2 and Tunic!
Time Warpers, it's an incremental first person shooter. Honestly, I don't think I'd recommend it unless you're really into incremental games
Was busy almost 100% blasphemous 2
So much Elden Ring. I already Platinum'd it on PS5 at launch, but I recently saw that there's a surprisingly big and active modding community for it, so I got it on Steam and installed the Elden Ring Reforged mod. It's been long enough since I played and the mod changes enough that it feels like a new game. It's incredible.
Luanti, of course!
I need to figure out just one more way to make a compact item sorter, then I'll be satisfied. (Narrator: They were not.)
Streaming Helldivers 2 from home to my deck.
Currently playing Stardew Valley
Modded Balatro
Just finished playing through Tiny Terry’s Turbo Trip (which was honestly fantastic) and have started playing Ghost Recon Breakpoint and Motor Town: Behind the Wheel
Played the Solasta 2 demo, and still playing Dragon Age Inquisition
Recently played through Little Kitty Big City and Thank Goodness You're Here from a recent fanatical bundle, and both were a joy to play.
Currently I'm starting to play through Psychonauts 2. It's been a long time since I played the first one. I love some of the surreal level design, but some other parts of the design feel dated. I think playing 3D platformers like Mario Odyssey have set a really high bar for the genre, and Psychonauts 2's gameplay feels a bit dated at times.
