My wife's been hogging the PC for months now playing Baldur's gate. She finished 1 last month and now working her way through 2.
Elden Ring. I decided to go into the DLC with a new character and getting him setup so he's ready to jump in. Gathering smithing stones and other mats, killing Radahn and Mohg, and getting some weapons whenever I finally decide what build I want to start with. Put a couple hours in so far and really enjoying it.

Going to keep building my factorio factory. Almost done with industrial revolution 3. Should be done in another 40 hours or so...
Gonna finish Escape Academy with my partner! I only bought it because doseone did all of the music (Enter the Gungeon, 13&God, and one of my favorite albums: “Less is Orchestra” (Look it up please, listen to Fact Colossal or The Deadener) (RIP Alias)
Charming game with cheesy dialogue and great puzzles. Never have done an escape room before and we’re crushing it so far. Do NOT play alone. Must be played with a partner.
Satisfactory on the Steam Deck
I'm curious how the latest version runs. I haven't tried it since the Unreal Engine 5 update. Kinda waiting to jump back in at the 1.0 release.

I think I should pick up a city builder, but not decided between Skylines 2, Manor Lords, or ???

Perhaps not very patient gamer, but I think I'll give Another Crab's Treasure a go.
It's very hard for me to feel motivated to play new games nowadays, but that one did spike my interest - seems more fun than Elden Ring tbh, which kinda feels like a generic souls-like - and it's got great reviews and isn't too expensive, so I think I'll try it out.
After watching the new dune movie I got inspired to play through a campaign on Dune: Spice Wars. So probably that!
I've been really enjoying my current Pathfinder:Kingmaker run going for the true ending.
Still playing through Thirsty Suitors on my deck on the TV. About 4 hrs in. It’s got an interesting story in there, but the fighting gets tedious sometimes and honestly, I wish I were encountering more of my exes. 7/10 so far
Also playing my second run through of BG3 with my buddy whenever we both have time. 10/10
And unrelated to gaming, I’ll have the 24 Hours of Le Mans on in the background
Golf
Playing through ff7 rebirth and was trying to finish a dragon age origins play through I've had going on since 2022. I've had rebirth since launch but I've only really had a chance to play it from last week as I've been ill most of the year until recently. Also have dragons dogma 2 which I haven't played much for the same reason.
I just finished both Borderlands 3 and God of War (2018) so I'm in gaming limbo again.
Leaning toward Stardew Valley, Noita, or finally buckling down to finish Far Cry 3.
You can give My time at Sandrock a go, it is similar to Stardew Valley but with a more linear story. Still the game has plenty of content to keep you entertained for a longer period of time and it is enjoyable, and chill.
I recently started a new Stardew playthrough after leaving it for a couple years. Damn that game is so good. It's like a perfect little dose of relaxation.
I recently started playing Noita. Can confirm, much time is needed for such a simple yet intensely complex game. Incredibility fun, enormously infuriating, also all your own fault. Perfect 5/7 would recommend
I've started and bounced off Noita a couple of times already. It's been fun but I do need time to dig in and wrap my head around the mechanics.
I'm stuck on wand building at the moment. I've watched a couple video guides explaining how it works, but something still isn't clicking. None of the wands I'm making have worked the way I expect them to, and I'm not sure what I'm not understanding.
It is a little confusing and I agree that they don't always work the way I expect. I will say that going for a single type will ultimately hold you back if you just aren't getting the proper spells. Best to just generate something that works to some degree.
Cast delay and recharge rate are the two most important stats outside of "shuffle" in which you always want "no". Cast delay is the time between spells and after all of them are cast, recharge rate is the time before casting the new full spell list.
The order in which you place spells is important and I still have to mess around with them a bit since I don't understand it as well as I thought I did. But there are casting "blocks" which is like a set of commands. This is why you want shuffle "no" because then it will always cast left to right. Casting a trispell will cast whatever spells are in the next 3 slots (at the same time) including another trispell, which will then add the next three blocks (as an example). Then you have to do some math to see what all the cast delay and recharge rate total numbers are. That's how you see what your wand will ultimately do. If you can get cast delay to 0 or lower it will chaingun but pause almost like a shotgun if the recharge rate is higher than the cast delay. The wand will always be held back by the larger of the two (cast delay or recharge rate).
IDK if this clarified or helped at all but if you have more questions I might be able to answer or provide resources for you.

Probably Bowser‘s Fury (Switch), Balatro or Trine 5 (PC), and Marsupilami (Deck) for me!
I just started tears of the kingdom a few days ago.
Oh man, what I wouldn't give to be able to experience TotK for the first time again. You're in for a great time. :)

Still spreading managed democracy in Helldivers 2. Waiting for the Elden Ring DLC to land though!
I'm about to leave town for the weekend so missing out on most of the new patch. Hope you dispense some liberty on my behalf!
That's not very patient gamer of you lol
civ6! ive never played civilization before, but my kid says its great and it was on sale for 3$
If you don’t enjoy it, don’t discount the franchise. Personally I prefer civ 4 over civ 6, and civ 4 has the bonuses of 1) being the only video game to ever win a Grammy award and 2) extensive voice work by Leonard Nimoy
I'll back up that Civ 4 has been the best entry in the series so far.
Civ 5 is when they dropped unit stacking, which made combat much slower and more finicky since you couldn't just build up a massive deathball and tear across the map, and Civ 6 doubled down on that design space by tying city upgrades to individual tiles as well. They're not bad changes, and they do add more strategic depth to the combat and city-building, but they do make an already slow game substantially slower, since combats that used to be done in a turn or two now require several turns of rotating and repositioning units to get them in and out of the fight.
Civ 4 was the last "pure" civ experience, building off and adding to the previous games without sweeping mechanical changes to shake up the meta.
what did you not like about 6?
Too clunky and slow paced for me compared to previous installments. Also not a huge fan of how the different victory conditions/requirements were balanced compared to older games. They just crammed too many new mechanics in there for the game to flow like it used to.
thanks! ill try 4 if 6 seems annoying with those characteristics

I am on a quest to play through all of the classic FPS. So I will put some time in Doom64.
Scored the Ratchet & Clank Collection for PS3 on Ebay this week, cannot wait to play
I started Red Faction Guerrilla (Steam Edition) a couple of weeks ago. Solid game from 2009. Though the game world does feel a bit empty.
I have seen credits on that game probably three times since it's launch. Anytime they release it on a new platform I instinctively snap it up.
I do agree that the world feels pretty empty, but it is Mars in their defense. The gameplay loop is so good though. And sometimes there's no better feeling than grabbing a sledgehammer and leveling a building.
Hopefully you're able to make it through! There's a little bit of variety introduced to the environment around the half to three quarter mark.
I’ll be heading back to the Zone with one of the STALKER games in order to satisfy the craving I got from the STALKER 2 previews recently. I’m leaning towards Clear Sky as I’ve played SoC and CoP much more.
Ugh yeah that's tempting to reinstall once again. Last time I did the Call of Chernobyl mod which combines all three game maps and was pretty awesome. I hear Anomaly is really good too.

Super Mario Sunshine, going for my first 100%
Megaman 8-bit Deathmatch, Heroes of the Storm, Pizza Tower, and DnD!
Got the first Moving Out game on supersale and my kids are loving it. I'm always on the lookout for coup coöp games to play with them.
Is it patience if I've already played it? The wife and I are running through metal gear solid 3 after beating 2. PS3 emulator is snappy and the metal gear HD collection is pretty good!
Maybe metal gear solid peace walker can count as patient, as I haven't played that yet.
