Games

Brought my steamdeck to our new years party and managed to snag 2 others to play brotato in multiplayer for a bit. I thought it would be more popular to play some games since that is how we all know each other. Otherwise it would have been Factorio: space age.

Like the last 7 years past, DOTA 2

Foxhole. Looks like a silly little indie game, but boy there are huge scale mechanics and coop required. I'm kinda fascinated and want to play even more, not sure if work and life actually allows me to play a lot though.

I think it was either Mouthwashing, which I definitively finished that day (loved it), or Animal Well, which I bought that day and played a lot since.

CK2 ...

Core Keeper, I've known about it for a while but never really looked into it, tried it out and it's much better than I thought it'd be! Basically Terraria with a top down view, really fun.

Brotato

Commandos: Beyond the call of duty.

Old enough to be good (no dark patterns or other bullshit), new enough to be playable (the first Commandos is just too pixelated, you need hyper vision to play it).

What a game.

Escape from Tarkov with the homies, first game of 2025 was WoW

Necrosmith

Space Marine 2. I love Warhammer stuff.

Wii Sports. It's a yearly tradition on new years for me

Unicorn Overlord, on my way to my parents house for new year's eve.

As much as I'd have liked it to be some kind of active or skill based game, it was either going to be webfishing or revolution idle.

I recently picked up secrets of grindea, but after having binged it for a few days, I'm grinded out. I need to earn so much gold if I want to collect all the things and it feels like my combat power has hit a wall. There are a few non-grind things I could tackle, but I'll just wait a bit and let burnout go away.

Final Fantasy XIV

A Short Hike

Max Payne 2

Heavily modded Risk of Rain 2, because somehow it’s still a delightful gem

Dungeons of dreadlock

Fantasian. It was made by the father of Final Fantasy Hironobu Sakaguchi and composed by Nobuo Uematsu and feels just like a PS1 era FF game. It's a bittersweet sensation knowing this is probably the last time we'll have such a title made by these legendary figures working together but I'm happy they released it all the same.

Boardgame: Marvel Champions LCG. Not a surprise because it's my most played solo game since the release of the core set.

Videogame: Dead Cells. I'm a patient gamer who likes indie games.

Kingdom: Two Crowns, the Call of Olympus DLC. Also the first game of 2025 we played, we only took a small break at midnight.

F1 Manager 2024

I like to play it while watching a movie on another screen.

A modded version of Final Fantasy Tactics

Samurai Zero. I haven't attempted speed runs, but I just finished the game.

The Quarry

Haven't completed it yet, so it'll be the first game I play in 2025 😅

Warframe. First game I'll play in 2025 too.

World of Sisters it's a hentai game!

Emberward, a tower defense where you build the walls out of Tetris blocks.

Deadlock

Echoes of wisdom

NFS Unbound… Not great but I was just trying to finish it lol

Sea of Stars, Marvel Rivals, and Superhot VR were the three games my spouse and I played that day.

It was going to be Hogwarts legacy, but I had a flight and played xenogears on my phone

A Plague Tale: Innocence. Not my typical type of game, but I wanted a nice story and it provided.

Farming Sim 22

It was either noita or war thunder, was playing both last night and I forget which I was playing before midnight

Bought, played and refunded Foxhole

Played and finished: Lisa The Joyful
Played: PoPoLoCrois

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3
