Figured I'd go back and actually finish the different stories in Star Wars The Old Republic and see the new starting zones in Lord of the Rings Online. Other then that , a modded Cyberpunk 2077 and Nightmare Reaper.
What are you playing right now?

Returned God of War: Ragnarok to GameStop and thought I'd finally give Man Eater a try. A novel concept, that eventually degrades into repetitive gameplay with bad balance, shitty physics, contextual control failures, and a bad camera. This game was a good idea, but programmed by dumb fucking joggers.

STALCRAFT. I used to say I will never play their game because of trannies that slowly plague the fanbase or devs don't know how to handle cheaters yet (they're trying to create their own anti cheat that's not and doesn't behave like EAC at moment), but I only play it because of bored with both OG and modded STALKER games, but also to kill the cat's curiosity due to the specific main or side mission requires knowledge or mental gymnastics that allows you to finish the mission correctly for better prize, especially for unique weapons. Most of dialogues or mission decision cannot be undone with Alt+F4 method, so every moment counts.
The game has opened to global for few months and most community guides can only be searched in Russian instead English on YouTube.
Exhibit A
This is a side mission where you have make an old man commits suicide by failing the mission on purpose to let his son dies from mutant attack, just so you can get better weapons instead shitty ones.
Exhibit B
This is a main mission that requires you cannot fuck it up to either befriend with specific faction or against them to get a free weapon so you can progress the grind albeit better.
Exhibit C
Another side mission where if you side with specific NPC, you'll get a weapon with endgame attachments that tremendously boosts weapon's performance.
How's the grind? It's abyssmal. You either grind far up your ass and hoping not to let the Zone actually trying kill you or die by the hands of enemy players that can steal all of your hard earned huntings (except weapons, suit, and other bound items). Players in friendly faction can also do the same thing, but they cannot do friendly fire.
The more you travel the Zone, it gets more dangerous to explore to the point you also need a suit that allows you to protect from combat but also environments as well. And if you die, you'll respawn to the last base you have visited. Most missions will try to test your abilities to your limits and lose most of your stuff if you don't careful.
Some items can only manufacture in specific base and usually comes with chain trees for another items, with large amount of either materials that very easy to grind or very rare to find. You also need to max reputation with bases available by doing "events" hundreds of times or side mission (in case the "events" no longer add the gain of rep on specific level) so you can sell items with more profit, buy stuff there with higher discounts, and unlock another storage to keep more stuff. Higher tier base also have better items for you to survive the Zone better and allows to buy more different stuff you can sell to NPCs.
Don't play this game or pretty much any MMORPG games if you don't want to torture your sanity and waste a lot of days, if not weeks or months just to get a decent build to grind even more. I regret it in the hard way.
God, I need a drink.

Playing Brave Fencer Musashi on the PS1. Played it when it was new and have found memories of it. I completly forgot about all the food puns. Also forget much much the music rips in this game.,

Playing FFXIV. I'm not active in my FC because I don't know how to not be offensive in 2023, so socializing has been nil.

I once had the FC Leader have a talk with me, about why I'm not super social and taking part in group chats, and while not these exact words, made it sound like they wanted everyone to be a social butterfly. I told them that's a big ask and saw myself out.

It's a bit of a pain to do dungeons with randoms, but, it's helped with my patience.

About half done Alien: Isolation and started up Code Veronica over the weekend. I've always gone back and forth between RE CV and 0 on what's the worst of the two and I'm beginning to lean toward 0 being the shittiest game of the old fixed camera part of that series.

Since I got a PS5 recently, I'm finally getting around to playing FFVII Remake, and honestly, I'm enjoying my time with it so far. Plan on playing through Spider-Man after this. I'm enjoying my time with the PS5. It doesn't give me that twinge of instant regret for buying like getting a Switch did.

Started Prey. I liked what I heard about the environment (sounds like a freer form Bioshock, which would be due to it being a successor to System Shock which I know Bioshock also drew from) and the mimics (horror driven by shapeshifter ambushes, the shapeshifters require you to scan the environments for things that look out of place, like if two trash cans are next to each other one is probably a shapeshifter). Like the idea of a space station to navigate, including outside. So far I've only gotten as far as Morgan's office, it's okay, it definitely doesn't feel like horror though outside of just panic of trying not to die.
Also going to start The Procession to Calvary (I've been kind of rotating a AAA and an indie at the same time). I know fuck all about it, just that it's some sort of adventure game driven by Renaissance/other old artwork being drug around like cutouts, like Monty Python (I guess, I watched Life of Brian but that's it) and Rock of Ages.

So, I gave Dark and Darker a shot, since I'm a huge fantasy nerd, and I love extraction shooters, it sounded right up my alley.
Fucking no. There's some potential there, no doubt, but as it is? It's barely functional, with a netcode, and a community that...well, you guys know how normies thing all Souls players are elitist shitbags that respond to any question or critism with 'git gud, skill issue, lul' style bullshit? Yeah, that, but legitimate.
The devs have also gone on to state that they'll add solo Qs'...by which they mean making a mini-dungeon and abject refusing to balance it for solos. In their own words, mind you.
Avoid.

I got some time off work and I've been playing a lot of Battle for Wesnoth. It's a game I've known about for a long time but never bothered trying out because, well, it's an open-source game.
I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised. It's a very solid turn-based strategy thing that seems to be milking whatever it can from the format. I've completed four campaigns so far, and it manages to surprise and engage me every time. The story is lackluster at best, but the scenarios themselves are fun (at least until you hit a brick wall, like the siege scenario in Heir to the Throne or the cave scenario in South Guard).

If you can be bothered with the DLC, just slap the Golden Gladiator set on ans forget about itemisation ever again.
DL2 added Legend ranks (post level cap stuff, basically) and Ive been playing again to take advantage of it. The grind is so much better than the original game's - at least so far. Being able to consistently level up via killing zombies, rather than grinding literally hundreds of disaster relief packages, makes it a lot more natural and enjoyable.
Doubling the strength of my melee weapons has broken the NG+ difficulty cycle, mind.

Fantastic game. A shame the developer gave up trying to improve it. The citizen AI is a joke.

I picked up Far Cry 2.
It's actually kind of easy, but that might be because I'm playing on normal. The gun durability mechanics aren't really a factor if you refrain from picking up the nigger weapons.
