Another playthrough of BG3.
Patient Gamers
A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I play the "What's that black dot on the wall and is it moving?" game.
Very fun until one actually starts moving.
Creeper World 4, the daily map usually has a good duration. Takes your thoughts off everything else pretty well, yet is not too demanding. And you can vary your play style yourself a bit / set your own limitations, depending on how much of a challenge you want right now or how much time you want to spend.
The same although it might be cw3 or even particle fleet depending on the mood I'm in.
He's the only developer I support on release of the game.
Stellaris with the Star Trek: New Horizons mod. Currently doing a Borg run, at war with the Dominion right now, but of course, resistance is futile.
X-Com (1993)+Mods, Jagged Alliance 2, Master of Orion 2, Starsector, Avorion and lately Balatro and Peglin for mindless fun.
Helldivers 2 is great for short to medium sessions.
yeah, being able to hop in and out it's great thing for me
I also like the lack of pressure to finish a round if you have to be drug away by life. I know they'll likely be able to finish without me or someone will pop in after me to help.
Probably Fortnite. It's not just one battle royale game anymore. If I feel like racing, I can play Rocket Racing. If I feel like building, I can play Lego Fortnite. Festival if I want a Guitar Hero experience, Ballistic if I want a Counter-Strike experience, and so on. It's all tied to Epic's servers though, so it's not for life.
Balatro is my current go-to game. Not sure if it is patient gamer material since it came out relatively recently but it is cheap and on all platforms. Poker themed maths game.
Risk of Rain 2. And if that doesn't work, Risk of Rain 2.
Dead Cells. I've been stuck on 3BC for years, but someday I'll beat it! Someday...
Lighthouse is my current white whale. Going to finally check out the Cavern next time I go back.
The Warhammer tide games, either Vermintide 2 or Darktide. Best melee combat in a video game, relatively short rounds, and super satisfying to just genocide some heretic/xeno hordes for the Emperor/Sigmar.
You just alerted me to the existence of Orcs Must Die 3, and I am going to check it out after absolutely loving the first 2.
I'll have to check those out. I played Vermintide when it first came out and wasn't very impressed. I'll give it another go.
My son plays some Warhammer games. I should check it out.
Good news about OMD, there's a new game due next month, Deathtrap. I'm super stoked.
For me its titanfall 2. Simply because its quite casual and the rounds don't take too long. Just hop on and if you get absolutely obliderated the next round will be better.
OpenTTD.
I so want to like that game, but that UI is so hard for me to get used to, I never have (after a few tries). Always glad to see it mentioned online though.
Yeah I can imagine it taking time getting used to as a new player. I played the original as a kid on DOS so the UI is deeply ingrained lol.
Modded Minecraft for sure. But there are a handful of games I keep going back to and common theme for those games that I can listen to a podcast or audiobook while I'm playing them, like Rimworld, No Man's Sky, Stardew Valley, Skyrim.
FIFA, a lot of the time. Lately it's been Rocket League.
