What are you playing?

Started playing Cuisine Royale recently pretty fun game little bit of a learning curve but fun
 
I dip into Crysis from time to time just to remind myself of how advanced it was for 2007 and even now, on a Ryzen 2600/RX580, with everything on max, I'm averaging 60-65fps.
It's still an incredible game.

finished AI: Somnium files (not a weeb, i swear)

Next is.. either Gears 5 or Anno1800, cointoss.
 
After about 20 years since playing the originals to death (I did 4-5 completionist runs back then - The joys of being young and with a lot of spare time), I am making another run through the Baldur's Gate series. I picked up the Enhanced Editions plus Siege of Dragonspear on sale a while ago, but never got into them again. No idea what changed in my mindset, but I just started again and I am having a blast. These games really set the bar for what storytelling means in a CRPG and how large an open world can be (especially Baldur's Gate 2, with about 200 hours [!] of playtime if you explored everything and sought as many side quests as possible), and it still shows. The sprite-based graphics are somewhat in vogue now too for indie games, so it doesn't look nearly as old as it should, and 2nd Edition AD&D rules are still the best damn D&D ruleset, fight me! :)

First time playing a Fighter/Mage/Thief focusing on backstabbing, too. Very different to my usual Mage or Sorcerer playthroughs where it was essentially "Spells are Artillery" all the way.

When on sale, you can get all three games (BG1, BG2 and Siege of Dragonspear) for 15$, and end up with about 300 hours of excellent gameplay, funny in-party banter, a good storyline and overall a polish that would not be repeated in a fantasy CRPG setting for many years since. If you never played these, you really should.

136h total in Persona 5, about 40% in New Game+. My highschooler is now dating back alley doc from the clinic. The plan is to have nightmare Valentine's day with as many romance options active as possible.
 
I didn't expect qube 2 to be this entertaining :)
the epic freebie marathon continues

I left The Division for a few months out of frustration as I couldn't eliminate Kosinski, the mega flamethrower-wielding boss in the Emporium. And when they fry you, it's chau and you pretty much start again by respawning at the start of the mission, since it's really a PVP game. I went back to it having bought Division 2, which can wait.
Anyway, I managed to finally give him a taste of his own medicine by aiming at his spare fuel cannister and blew him to smithereens, which was highly satisfying and bumped me up to level 11 (out of 30).
It's a tough game, looks fantastic, the progression system just makes you want more, especially when you blow up the so-called cleaners armed with flame throwers.
Anyway, it will be months before I reach level 30, but I'm not in a hurry :)

I'm still tweaking Oblivion on my laptop, previously I encounter huge bug where whenever the music is changed (most notably when entering and exiting combat) the game will pause for good 1.5 seconds, really ruining the immersion of the game. I read numerous sources online giving various fixes, from changing/uninstalling codec, installing soundcard with EAX (I installed X-Fi MB software to emulate EAX using CPU), deleting combat music but all of this only offset the problem, deleting the battle music does improves things massively but whenever it changes music it occur again.

So what I finally did is install Unofficial Oblivion Patch. Yes, the community patch is the one that fixes this (among 2300+ bugs in the changelog). Again, its all thanks to gamers that isn't part of the game devs that releases fixes for the actual game. Mind boggling they still charge for this game and yet not fixing it.

Performance still isnt good at high detail 1080p, but at least no more music stuttering mess. Disabling shadows and reducing grass adds 10+fps more than below screenshot. I'm progressing well, just after first Oblivion gates. Still suck in this game though. I'm not reading any walkthrough and try to use as little fast travel as possible. I stopped playing Mass Effect and The Witcher so I can focused on one game. I kept messing up key when playing multiple games.

Looking at the pics I get Portal vibes.:D

Btw I was wondering,doesn't the constant MSI Afterburner overlay ruins the immersion for you?
I also use it but after I'm done tweaking the game settings+checking stuff I disable the overlay part since it bothers me while playing games.

Me too, I turn it off. I don't need the constant stats for the GPU/CPU/RAM usage when I'm focused on the game.

I forgot about this game in my Epic Games Library. @cucker tarlson reminded me I hadn't played it yet.

No. I leave it on. I want to have advance warning that something has gone wrong or isn’t working correctly.
