Surely you can turn 'em off ?
What other games are we all playing?

Anyone tried "Space Bourne 2" ? Fills some gaps for me in the hole space games genre that I miss in ED or SC
(Sorry for misspelling the thread title)
Sapce Bourne 2
Found this game on the weekend and for me it fills most of the missing content that ED or SC doesnt have in cost of not that pretty graphics (I am a ultra graphics nerd but its okay for me): You can land on different planets with different weather and fauna a vast galaxy to explore third...

I've just kicked off Red Dead 2 for the first time. I'm blown away so far. I'm putting Elite down for the foreseeable - I have a few other games I've been wanting to play and I've put probably way too much into Elite:
Surviving Mars
New Hitman games (I'm way out of the loop)
Death Stranding
Days Gone

I greatly enjoyed the latter pair on your list.
Couldn't realy get into Assassin's Creed Untiy's story so pushed it back into my backlog.
I bought Hogwarts Legacy instead, I'm no Harry Potter fan but this game is gorgeous and well made, the combat is heaps of fun and there is quite some humor in the game, realy like it so far.
The reward system is putt together very well, with each activity or quest you get something interesting, transmog is a treat.
Runs very well on the Xbox Series X.

What's the one set in Egypt? I've really not had any interest in AC games from a gameplay perspective, but they do capture my imagination as virtual time machines. IIRC the later ACs are more open-world, so that you can just wander around and explore a certain city from a certain time period, correct? I'd absolutely love to just walk around ancient Egypt and explore! Like many kids, I grew up with a fascination of mummies and pyramids and ancient tombs, and a little of that still remains. I get excited every time some new chamber, passageway, or tomb is discovered!
Assassin's Creed Origins, the one in Egypt, is a fully open world and the map is huge.
Many real AC fans think it's not a genuine AC game but I realy love the new non linear approach.
You can walk around as much as you want and along the progress of the game you learn a lot about how life was in those days.
There are also quite a number of cool puzzles to solve inside tombs etc.
Origins also comes with a discovery mode, no combat or story but pure history and exploration.
I like it better then Valhalla but that's a matter of preference I think and Odyssey is to long for my taste, way to many fetch quests although ancient Greece looks gorgeous.
I'll have to add this to my list! I remember AC games going on ridiculous sales on Steam from time-to-time. AC games are always 3rd person, right? No option to switch to 1st person IIRC. Or does the "discovery" mode allow first person view?
I still remember when the church in France caught fire and people were saying that AC was a great reference for reconstruction because their virtual church in one of their games (Notre Dame? I forget..) was so accurate. That's pretty impressive!
AC games are all in third person yes.
The level of historical detail in AC games is insane, Paris in Unity is the absolute high in that respect, it's just the story I couldn't get into right now.
Origins looks fantastic too, the desert feel and dusty tombs, the cities are very well made too.
The discovery mode is in third person too, you just get a non combat and walk around character with tons of places to discover and learn about, the mummification process for example etc.

Currently enjoying the closed beta of System Shock Remake (an absolutely delightful one, it's oh so good to go back inoty Citadel's corridors!) and preparing space on HDD for Redfall release in a couple of months by finishing games started a long time ago (Soma, Death of the Outsider, Subnautica Below Zero, Weird West...). Games I adore but can't help but not finish because of the induced "endgame depression" I feel then 
I loved the original System Shocks, so have mixed feelings about revisiting as there's no way it can compete with rose tinted nostalgia. Soma is like Prey for me, I liked it initially and then stopped playing for no apparent reason.Currently enjoying the closed beta of System Shock Remake (an absolutely delightful one, it's oh so good to go back inoty Citadel's corridors!) and preparing space on HDD for Redfall release in a couple of months by finishing games started a long time ago (Soma, Death of the Outsider, Subnautica Below Zero, Weird West...).

I’m back on my permadeath survival games circuit. Got pretty far in Subnautuca but drowned while fiddling with base configuration and not paying attention to oxygen supply. Switched to The Forest and am just about burned out on that. Will likely try The Long Dark next as I’ve still never played it before.
A friend left a positive view on that one, Origins. She said it had lots of sights to see. Usually today it's bland sandstone and marble pillars in white. But back then colour was day-to-day reality. Such games allow to have a take to how it might have looked like.
That System Shock soundtrack was so hot. The theme alone is legendary.Currently enjoying the closed beta of System Shock Remake (an absolutely delightful one, it's oh so good to go back inoty Citadel's corridors!) and preparing space on HDD for Redfall release in a couple of months by finishing games started a long time ago (Soma, Death of the Outsider, Subnautica Below Zero, Weird West...).

What's Redfall?
Never played Long Dark? I take it you are used to survival games? You may find the story mode not to your liking. I played suvival most of the time - easiest difficulty. Once I had visited every map and knew them how they work I played hardest. I rate this one of the best survival sims. Hardest can be brutal - once you get going it is manageable but the tide turns quickly in that one. Jen Hale is better VA for your character, I feel. Meer is a bit whiny for my taste.
Next Arkane game (Dishonored, Prey...)
Immersive sim, you play a vampire hunter on a infested island open world.
Dishonored lured me a few times, but I've yet to play an Arkane game.
tried it for a couple hours today. Haven’t made up my mind about it yet but feels very slow and menu driven compared to other survival games I’ve enjoyed (forest, green hell, subnautica, minecraft). I spend a lot of time juggling cooking/water boiling with reading a book or sharpening my knife. And have quickly run up against the encumbrance wall but don’t yet have intuitions about what is wise to throw away. Will give it some more time but so far it’s not quite clicking for me.
Chilling in Stranded: Alien Dawn.
They added Modding tools to the game and players already added lots of new survivors. My favorite so far have been James Holden and Vin Diesel.

Usually you find a place to store it. You don't throw away. The crappy sweater can be torn up for fabric. At some point you won't need tinder anymore. You take what you need to survive. First tasks are survival. Then you look for better gear. Warmer clothes. First days are not so hard in lower difficulties, but storms come and temperatures will sink. You will need strategies to survive that while still getting from A to B. Getting apt with fire making, hunting and that. Further along is going to the forge and craft. These are usually journeys you prepare for and can't take all your loot with. A moose bag will give you additional carry capacity as will fed and rested buff. You may need this buff or consumable to climb a long rope e.g.
