I’ve been enjoying Marathon, Ghost of Tsushima, Skate. and replaying Cyberpunk 2077 on my ps5 and permanently exploring No Man’s Sky on my Switch Lite!

Yay games

I've been playing Stardew Valley pretty consistently every evening for the past month or so. It's very relaxing.

I've gotten really into Mina the Hollower. It's one of my favorite new games I've played in a while. People are saying it's like Zelda: Link's Awakening meets Castlevania and Dark Souls, which is fairly apt, but I think it also feels a lot like a masterfully expanded version of what the NES/Gameboy Color game Crystalis was doing back in the day (which I also liked).

I also enjoy board games, but I don't play them regularly like I used to. Some of my favorites are Gaia Project, Voyages of Marco Polo, Modern Art, Quacks of Quendlinburg, and Zendo.

From 2016-2020 I was also really into Go, but pretty much stopped when the pandemic hit. I didn't enjoy playing it online as much as I did in person with folks.

Ah yes, I have been enjoying this one too, That is when I have a chance to play.

Replaying the Half Life 2 trilogy on the Steam Deck just now and it's honestly the most fun I've had gaming for years. Games have, for the most part become too complicated for my liking and not to mention resource hungry, HL2 still looks and plays like a dream and the gameplay is the perfect balance for me . Got some Viture Pro AR glasses too so I can play anywhere on a massive screen. It's really highlighted for me that super fancy graphics don't really mean anything, Half Life 2 still looks gorgeous but it's the gameplay and atmosphere that gets you hooked.

Half Life 2 is great, and I agree 100% with what you're saying. A good game is a good game, no matter the age. And the fact it has held up so well is a testament to its design. The gravity-gun alone! I'm also pretty sure we'll see a surge of beautiful, but resource-friendly games now that RAM is getting more rare. I love that.

I am curious about getting AR glasses too, but I am worried about readability. Would you say it is straining on the eyes to read text on them? Like coding or reading an e-book for an hour, I guess?
