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.
I’ll be continuing to grind a little bit in Diablo 4 (and maybe hitting up D3 to finish some season challenges). The Division 2 also looks to have a new update, so I’ll give that a go as well.
Then finally maybe just some relaxing time in American Truck Simulator as a way to wind down!
Just finished Kiwami and enjoyed it. The random encounters got to be a bit much, and the side quests were pretty basic, but I was really impressed with the fighting and how much there was to do.
Not sure I will play anything in the coming week, as I haven’t the previous one.
I have been meaning to get Minecraft setup on my M1 MPB… have also started a few games on PS5 - but I just haven’t the time or energy lately - we normally end up just watching a movie before bed which is a bit less engagement.
If I find some time, then probably Horizon Zero Dawn solo, or playing It Takes Two with my partner 😊
It’s the only game where I feel that playing with randos is better than playing with friends I can talk to, for some reason.
I mostly use CTRL, V and X to communicate at all times, but recently I admitted to someone in-game that I always throw a C4 and immediately detonate it if someone pings me and uses the “Easy on the C4, eh?” line - they kept pinging me at all times and I’ve even had to preemptively apologize to an unaware scout.
Besides, there’s just something special about hearing 8 engineers with Fat Boys yelling “I CAN’T FEEL MY BEARD, HEEEELP” at the same time
Forgive Me Father. I rarely play shooters these days but this one is a quite pleasant for short sessions so far with just a tad of old doom-like tactics, but more streamlined, and has nice aesthetics too
Splatoon 3 - Getting ready for a LAN tournament in Philly tomorrow. Excited.
Persona 5 Royal - Finished the third palace.
Them’s Fightin’ Herds - Casual practice session, by which I mean terrorizing a lobby for a little while.
Slay the Spire - After over 800 hours of vanilla, I’ve just started fooling around with different mod characters, while watching Youtube in the background. Currently playing The Shaman, has some really cool mechanics.
I LOVED control and the vibe in it, I read every dossier and listened to every audiolog and projection and I just wanted more by the end 😁. I really hope a sequel is being made.
Control is one of my favorite games for atmosphere. Plus I feel more superpowered than most super hero games once I’m far enough along in the story. The vibe will keep you going long after you’ve gotten used to the combat.
Absolutely loved Control, how far through are you? You start getting lots of really OP superpowers as you go through the game and it makes combat super fun. The expansions are excellent also.
I am a big fan of crpg: usually I play Baldur’s Gate, Solasta, Pathfinder… but I will play DIV because I want to try a new class (done the campaign with a Sorc, next one will be a druid or a necro).
Hunt showdown w my mates, rimworld for myself. Looking for a tactical mp fps to tide me over for Fallujah but Sandstorm didn’t really click for me. Might wait for Squad to hit a deep sale.
Fr. I’ve been having a hard go of it lately. I’m not good at the game by any means, just above average, but I’m getting dumped into 6 star lobbies, just getting absolutely dumpstered. Ever since the MMR changes I’ve gone down 20k. My loadouts aren’t even expensive, funnily enough.

AFK killing time . Waiting for ZZZ and Wuthering Waves coming out this month.
Playing a bit of DUSK while my computer encodes some video. I find that even while all threads are busy at x265, I can still squeeze it in.
Otherwise: Overwatch 2 and trying to finish Ragnarok on PS5

I saw that a new season / “year” just started for TD2, I’ll have to download the update and give it a go!

Yakuza! I finished Yakuza 0 after years of trying to get through it, and started Kiwami. It’s been a lot of fun.

Yakuza 0 really is the king of sidequests, imo.
Need to rush to the bridge and stop someone getting shaken down?
Sure, but mahjong and crane games first.

Deep Rock Galactic, solid game for a solid time;
X3:FL, I regret it and I’m going to continue (Halo 2 on legendary difficulty is less frustrating than X3:FL with exploits).
I love DRG. It’s such a simple premise, and it’s just so much fun. Doesn’t take itself too seriously and the devs seem like a cracking bunch of lads.

I played the Final Fantasy 16 demo yesterday and I’m hooked. Can’t wait for thursday, when the game releases!
While I’m waiting, I’m playing Horizon Forbidden West (the world is so big!), Diablo 4 and as always Final Fantasy 14. ^^
Forgive Me Father. I rarely play shooters these days but this one is a quite pleasant for short sessions so far with just a tad of old doom-like tactics, but more streamlined, and has nice aesthetics too
I played this recently, but I wasn’t a fan of the style at all. It still played well, and I finished it, but I could have done with a shorter game.

I have been really into Stellaris lately, The new patch did breathe some fresh air into the game for me.
I’m right there with you, to a borderline unhealthy degree. I heard the advisor for my current empire in a dream the other day.
I don’t think that’s borderline anymore…
Some Control, some Left 4 Dead 2
and some bass guitarControl doesn’t have the most engaging gameplay, but damn isn’t that whole SCP-Xfiles story and atmosphere cool and fun to unravel
I LOVED control and the vibe in it, I read every dossier and listened to every audiolog and projection and I just wanted more by the end 😁. I really hope a sequel is being made.
I’ve got good news for you
I was thinking this would be a link to Alan Wake 2 but was pleasantly surprised. This is awesome.

Just finished the main story, going through The Foundation right now
Love that expansion for all the lore, some cool weapon/character mods to pick up too if you poke around for long enough.

Warframe! Super fun.

A land of culture I see. I fucking love and hate hunt so much.
