What other games are we all playing?

I read a lot of Heinlein as a kid. Later on I came to realise that his politics were entirely questionable.

I don't really see what that has to do with anything, tbh. Enid Blyton was racist as heck, but I still read all her books as a kid (much of it is edited out now, but I read the original editions, which were... wow :oops: ).

My all-time favourite author is Orson Scott Card, and he is a rampant homophobe (I'm bi... leaning more towards gay).

It's the stories and the writing I get turned on by, not the personal opinions of the author. 🤷‍♀️

Anyway, wrong thread...
 
I'm more or less done with House Flipper Luxury DLC for now, having done all the jobs, unlocked all the new houses, and flipped the ones I want to flip for the time being. It's a very worthwhile expansion to an already great & relaxing game.

Really looking forward to Hometopia which looks marvellous, but isn't out until January.

So in the meantime, I'm a little stuck for a new game to play. Might give FM2022 a whirl when it comes out.

Fair enough.

I'm sure I've read some Orson Scott Card but I can't remember ever delving into Blyton........

Speaking of wrong threads: I was just playing Star Wars: Squadrons.

I've met Card. Luckily, I maintained my discipline and bearing.
 
Probably be playing this come January...another 3 year old PlayStation exclusive but at least it seems Sony are going to continue trickle feeding the former console selling titles across to us on PC.

This week I have been mostly playing Deathloop. It's very good indeed. It's definitely better than Prey, and probably maybe better than Dishonored. Possibly.
 
Battle Map Studio

I know I'd never heard of it either. But its a fun build your own rpg type thing that can be used with 'Tilt Five' which also looks interesting.

Tilt Five anyone ?


Could be a nice little table top gamer thing.
 
The game series that has given me more hours of pure enjoyment than all the rest put together.
Here is where it all began, but with a slight difference, most of the islands pulled together on one map.
It's missing the desert island. But apart from that they're more or less all there.

Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis.

These islands are from an early mod by the 'Ace' team for use in Arma. So many players wanted these islands in Arma.
There have been many better mods for these islands made, right up to Arma 3.
But these were some of the first to be together.

No sound, Bandicam and me, ain't friends. (2x speed)

A game series that, for me, is the best series ever developed. But I love mil-sim so what can I say. ;)

I liked this alot. It was very much in a similar vein to the Dishonored series bit it was still another unique game from one of the best studios doing the rounds these days. Arkane deserve support, they just do good games.
 
I already own more games than I ever will have time to play, and yet I'm always tempted by these Steam sales.
Same here. So many games, so little time to play. :(

I'm really tempted to pick up MSFS right now, but I'm willing to wait for a larger discount, because Kerbal Space Program does a fairly good job of scratching that particular itch, with the added bonus of designing and testing my own planes... including space planes. It's not perfect by any means, but frequently I prefer breadth of play, as opposed to a focus on minutia.

That and it's really interesting to see how placement of wings, cargo, and fuel flow can affect flight characteristics. Especially when something reaches a tipping point in the middle of a test flight. ✈️ 😱 💥
