    Been trying to finish up Darksiders 2 after being in my backlog for years. I think I’m almost done. Only have a few more dungeons left according to the wiki

    Nothing really, unfortunately. Life has been busy lately and, with kids, gaming is almost nonexistent.

    This weekend my wife and kids will be out of town for five days and I’m honestly contemplating buying either Tears of the Kingdom or Diablo IV and just going to town on one of those all weekend…

    The new Aliens game looks interesting. I’ve had this xcom itch for a long time, hopefully this will be able to scratch it

      :O for some reason I thought this was going to be just another generic shooter. Looks great! Let me know what you thought.

    DayZ, same as I’ve been playing for the last two and a half year or so. In fact, I’m such a big fan I’ve even set up two DayZ community servers.

    I’ve been on a bit of an Alan Wake replay marathon this week in preparation for the sequel. Played Alan Wake and American Nightmare back to back and then threw in Control with the AWE DLC.

      It’s a great game, I’ve been recommending people spend their money on it over D4, for the same price they could get all the Grim Dawn dlcs and have a stack more content in my mind (-:

      I just fired up a GD game with a friend last weekend. I forgot how to play since it’s been so long.

      Necro/Occultist all day long. BoneZone and the boys causing havoc all around.

    Same thing I play every week. Coral Island and RCT3.

    Coral Island is in Steam Early Access and is as yet unfinished, but is making steady progress and the devs are doing great at keeping everyone up to date on progress. Coral Island is frequently compared to Stardew Valley. Frankly, I don’t enjoy SDV. I’ve tried and tried and it just doesn’t do it for me. Coral Island is everything I was hoping SDV would be. It’s game play is similar, but I find the whole thing much more enjoyable.

    I’ve been playing RCT3 off and on since I first bought it on CD a million years ago.

    I’ve been playing The Division 2 and I’m really enjoying it. I stopped playing for a few years, and now I’ve managed to stop the game crashing every 5 minutes, it’s really good fun.

      If I may ask, how did you stop the crashes? I have more than 800 hours on TD1 but I couldn’t play more than 100 in TD2 due to constant crashes. Man I love those games.

        There’s so many different fixes. In the end I tried them all, but I think the tipping point for me was disabling all in-game overlays like Shadow play, Steam, Ubisoft Connect. In fact for Steam and the EA app, I closed them completely. I’ve played for about a week with no crashes so far.

        The rest of the fixes have running are stuff look running in admin, disabling the exploit protection for the game exe, updating the anti-cheat, running in DX11, lowering fog quality from high. If you manage to find a list of stuff to fix Div2 crashes, there’s a solid chance I’ve tried them all.

        So for world events you get XP relative to your level and if there are some 5% more xp for unknown players being nearby. For quests secondary or story, same thing, it’s relative to your level and you get full XP and rewards for doing it for the first time, and less for redoing it. And 10% for being with friends.

        For dungeons, the level do not scale. So if a level 50 takes you in a dungeon while you are level 1, and you stay at the entrance while he clears it, you’ll get XP for clearing a level 50 dungeon.
