Can't stop playing Space Station 13. Became a Janitor, get harassed by a clown, and then the station gets an infestation from a blob and the ship's captain decides to self destruct the station in order to defeat the thing.

Sunless Skies - the sequel to Sunless Seas, in which you play as the captain of a sky locomotive in a steampunk Victorian England that got whacked with Cthulhu mythos. Autismal and fun.

I just finished Final Fantasy X and I've been playing Enter the Gungeon a lot with one of my friends. Im planning on playing FFX-2, Persona 3 portable, FF Tactics (PSP remake), and the PSP version of FFVIII.

Inspired by DSP's complete failures at playing GTA games, I went on a GTA-style game binge:
1. GTA San Andreas with some third party fixes: the widescreen fix, the SilentPatch and the ASI mod allowing to use both keyboard+mouse and gamepad. I also tweaked SkyFX to add some effects from the mobile version like car reflections while retaining PC's colour palette (instead of the default PS2 piss filter SkyFX has). Currently stuck on San Fierro missions - they are tough as shit.
2. Driver Parallel Lines - very mediocre game, but at least it has 1970s New York setting and it's not as awful as Driv3r (what a piece of garbage that game was). Driver San Francisco easily blows it out of the water, but it was so incredibly difficult as I remember it.
3. Mafia 2 - I already completed the story line back when it was released and I really don't feel like doing it again, so I downloaded a big Russian mod called "Friends for Life" that adds free-roam for both 1940s and 1950s setting, all kinds of interiors from storyline missions and lots of opportunities for dicking around (in-built cheats, character model switching, weather and time switching, NPC "bodyguards" from missions, car spawning, etc.). It almost makes you feel like you're playing a better game:
Empire Bay in Mafia 2 was very pretty, comparable to GTA 4's Liberty City in terms of detail. Too bad it came with such an underwhelming game. I bet a proper Rockstar game in such a setting would have been incredible (L.A. Noire doesn't count, it was ass).
Sadly, the game periodically glitches like crazy (the sky having an epileptic seizure, the city refusing to render, etc.) and crashes to desktop every now and then.

Revisiting Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast, I also plan on going through Jedi Academy and Force Unleashed afterwards. Such great games from a time where it was a given you'd get at least a couple good-to-great Star Wars titles almost every year. Too bad those days are over.

Currently playing through Wargroove on the Switch. Pretty good game, not groundbreaking by any means but scratches that turn based strategy itch.
Couple of things I'm finding a bit annoying - they lifted everything from Advance Wars including the cheesy humour which can be very hit and miss and some design decisions are a bit of a pain. For example pressing B to skip combat animations but insted of just pressing to skip you have to hold it for 2 seconds. I ended up just turning off animations and only turning them on for a bit when new units are introduced.

Just won a game as the Maya in Civ V. Felt real good because it was the first time I played on King difficulty (inb4 casual).

Thanks to @Haramburger I've been doing nothing but cultist simulator these last few days. Very interesting game. I like the fact that even a 'bad' ending can be tied into the narrative for the next playthrough. I've been bumbling my ways to the mansus several times but have no idea to progress from there.

Ever Oasis for the 3DS. Its a fun, build your own oasis with both rpg, puzzle, and item management systems. Plus crafting. Some of the puzzles actually stumped me. Plus, its cute.

Cheesing Fallout 4. Was on survival difficulty but a crash and a couple of deaths resulting in 20+ minutes of lost gameplay changed that.

Oh man, it really is super comfy, wish it had taken off more. Hope you're enjoying it friendo.
I'm playing Story of Seasons again right now. It's my go to 'chill the fuck out' game. Something about petting sheep just soothes my autism, even if they're digital ones.

Back to FighterZ, got some of the DLC characters and have been trying them out. Vegito is a lot of fun and I really like his grabs all though I have no idea what I'm really supposed to be doing with them. Gonna move onto an RPG though probably Etrian Odyssey 3 or DQ11

I'm up to 60+ hours on it now, pretty unhealthy. I think all of the "good" endings that you want to craft towards end up being part of a Rite; I advanced the Temptation: Sensation quite a bit and it goes from being a sex/drug/party vibe to a "I'm absorbing prisoners into myself to grow extra limbs" horror vibe, but I lacked the necessary red Grail ingredients to push myself to an ending so I sort of backpedaled back into humanity a bit; the hunger is difficult to satiate but the Rites are kind enough once you start plugging bits in to give you a benchmark of how much of an element/intensity you need for pushing the Desire to the 7th Mark, which I hope is the end(based on some of the books & flavor text). I'm not sure how many people I can bring with me though. It's clear I can use people to just ascend into godhood myself, and I think I can drag along a lover too, but I'm not sure if I can bring a whole inner circle or the entire cult remaining with me. The Achievement list on Steam is tantalizingly vague. I'm also a little surprised at the game's take on sexuality; it hadn't occured to me right away but the game's narrative is very careful not to assume you're a male or female, so when you start finding out you can have love affairs with people, it's wide open whether you're a man dating a woman, or a woman dating a woman, man on man, woman on man, however you want to interpret it. Genuinely inclusive, without pandering to anyone. Posting here I've gotten more aware of that I guess, but this game is on nobody's radar so it's interesting.
Glad my review was somewhat inspiring, and I wish there was more content on the horizon, I love the worldbuilding this game does. I think I'll give the company's other games Sunless Sea and Sunless Skies a try next.

Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven - I finally made it not crash at the second mission like it normally did on my PC. It's also hellishly difficult compared to even older GTA games, and surprisingly the biggest source of frustration are not driving missions, but fighting enemies.
The mission "Better Get Used to It" (very ironic name) is incredibly shitty - you and your partner have to kill a whole group of enemies with baseball bats. Unlike even GTA 3 (let alone 4 and 5), the swing animation is veeeeeeeeeeeeeeery slow, and the basic attack does almost no damage. You can knock-out enemies if you charge up your attack by holding LMB and strike them from behind, but the enemies keep circling around and hitting you, interrupting your veeeeeeeeeeeeeeery slow attack animations and leaving you defenceless for a second or so - they can land 3 or 4 attacks at you that way. Whoosh, and 50% of your health is gone. To make things worse, your ally can damage you as well if you're standing near him.
AND THEN you need to shoot a dozen more guys with pistols, and guns here aren't like GTA pistols. They knock off 30-35% of your health in one go, and they also make you flay around defencelessly for a second or so, allowing enemies to land even more hits. Since you've lost most of your health in the previous few minutes, it means instant death. No health pickups are anywhere in that level. If you die, you're sent back to the beginning of the fight. If your buddy dies (and he can easily die as well!) - back to the beginning.
All in all, the controls appear simple enough that I feel like an autistic asshole that doesn't get elementary things, but the whole combat system is actually so clunky, it's unbearable. I'll just use a trainer - this is apparently one of those games which are tough as nails even if you use invincibility cheats.
