I don't. I like to play Solitaire on my phone but that's it.

Nope. I'm a developer; not a user. (Users are losers.)

I play a lot of Fifa (offline). I like to do a full season as a manager and play every single game. I also like story based games like Last Of Us, Plague Tale and to an extent God of war. I am not sure what's next. I was thrilled about Unknown9 but do not know what's going on with it. If I am not doing this, I am watching true crime documentaries or crime thrillers. And some stand up comedy to regain sanity. :)

At the moment XCOM2 and some other favourites are Skyrim and FreeOrion. tactical-rpg-games-on-steam[^] light-weight-strategy-games-on-pc-like-ck2-eu4-or-vic2[^]

Yes, currently "World of Tanks". Why? because I enjoy giving the Russian mafia financed developer team all my extra spending cash. :laugh: :sigh:

:confused: That comment made zero sense to me. Actually, most of your comments make zero sense to me.

Sudoku and 2048 for a quick game, sometimes chess (the rating system doesn't go low enough for me. :sigh:), otherwise no.

Heh, It's amazing how many veterans play that game. Combat engineer (sapper) friend of mine was injured many years ago and was disabled. He sits at home all day now playing World of Tanks. He still uses his old call sign, like he's frozen in time. How old is that game? I think he was playing it 6-7 years ago. I recently checked up on him and he's still playing it.

I'm a veteran as well. I love the game. I have been playing it for 3+ years now. I think the game is 10+ years old.

I've been playing computer games since the seventies (Colossal Cave started it), but Doom (and then Doom II) became an addiction. It's GTA V at the moment - the new (and free) Contracts DLC is pretty good, and great for grinding. Especially this week when Payphone Hits (Assassination missions with an optional-but-lucrative bonus for taking them out in a specific way such as driving them into the sea in a taxi) are paying double. And the Dr Dre contact missions introduced me to the Combat MG which is now my weapon of choice. When I grow bored of that, I'll probably move to The Witcher III.

I've been a Monster Hunter fan since the PS2, and currently play a bit of Monster Hunter Rise on the Switch. The 4-player local/online co-op has made it easily my favorite multiplayer series. My friends and I have enjoyed the franchise for years! A few years ago, MH World made its way to Steam, but it just felt different. For single player, I've been finishing up the Horizon Zero Dawn achievements on PC (two left!) I've enjoyed it quite a lot. I don't typically chase achievements, but I needed an excuse to hang out in that world for a bit longer. :-O

The youngsters today play games for entertainment. It took me a few years (back in the 80's) to finish Robot Odyssey[^] You had to build circuits with logic gates to pass each level. There were no instructions included! The Hardest Computer Game of All Time[^] :omg:

Just finished Final Fantasy VII Remake, great game (though not as brilliant as the original)! Before that I played Hades, very addictive. Other than that I played Ratchet & Clank, the entire Mass Effect trilogy (awesome, epic, some of my all time favorites), Outriders, Baldur's Gate II (the original, not the enhanced version, for good old times sake)... All of them on PS5, except BGII which I played on PC. Started Kena: Bridge of Spirits, but unfortunately I don't like it very much due to lack of story. Same goes for Darkest Dungeon. Looking for a new game to play at the moment.

Like to play Age of Empires. Working on an implementations of 19th century Prussian / British / American "war gaming". Have found the roots of current games rules back to 1824. Only the distances, fire and casualty rates change. And formations. They had tables, index points, scaling factors, peg boards, "sounding boards" used to count off without looking. Large scale maps and true-to-scale unit blocks (a first). Standards and time intervals which could be varied according to the situation (frames). Lots of data collection and analysis. Just missing a computer. Also, they had the "fog of war" (multiple maps; screens). And the uncertainty / friction factor (dice). The AI / final call was an umpire.

I used to play a lot of MMOs but right now I play Guilty Gear: Strive and sometimes play some Dead Cells or Slay the Spire. When I get a big chunk of free time I'm planning on finishing Ori and the Will of the Wisps. That's pretty much it right now. Might give DNF Duel and Lost Ark a try when they release.
