Micro Monday is a day to find new people to follow. We do occasional roll calls to gather up folks with a common interest. Today’s topic was suggested by @Gaby: video games 🎮 Ready, players? What do you play? Leave a comment here so fellow enthusiasts can follow you.
@monday Yey! Most recently I’ve been playing survival horror games (The Callisto Protocol, Signalis, Resident Evil 8). Here are my gaming-related posts. Also hyped that Lantern supports games as well! 🎮
@monday I'm usually not much for video games, but lately have loved diving into Civ 6! I played a lot of Civ 3 as a child, so it's been fun to rediscover the joys of the game in this modern version.
@monday I am currently playing Need For Speed Unbound and Chained Echoes on the switch. I have a video games category where I have posted other games I have played. Mostly action, RPGs and of course racing games.
@monday When it comes to video games usually playing one of these franchises:
- Elder Scrolls
- Borderlands
- Fallout
@monday I’ve been playing Zelda: Breath of the Wild for a long time. Apparently nowhere near finishing 😂 Also been dipping into Horizon Zero Dawn a bit lately. Trying to prep myself to dive into Elder Scrolls sometime in the next year…
@toddgrotenhuis you might want to take a look at Mothership. Great fun if you like movies like Alien and Event Horizon. Not a video game, though, but there are plenty of gaming groups you can join online. We’ve been using Discord for our gameplay.
@darby3 I dropped Zelda towards the middle when my vacations finished in 2021 and never had the time to return. I feel I will need to start over.
@josephaleo oh man I have so many Mothership modules, we just haven’t brought it to the table, yet.
I’m hoping to be able to use some of the content in my post-post-apocalyptic science-fantasy game, too.
@monday Destiny 2 is my go-to game, but I've been having a good time with Chained Echoes lately, too. I'm mostly an XBox and PC gamer, eyeing a Steam Deck.
@monday I am currently playing Fortnite with my kids at an addictive level. I recently finished up a few games (such as Rise of the Tomb Raider and South Park: The Stick of Truth). I'm finding the Logitech G Cloud, while overpriced, useful because I'm remote playing games on my PS4/5 that have been sitting there unplayed forever. Convenient for those times when you can "play a game like a book" and just pick it up for 15 minutes rather than surfing the web.
@toddgrotenhuis I’ve been using elements from the various Mothership modules and plugging them where needed in my game. Also re-using material from Classic Traveller.
Everyone is pretty invested in the universe we built together. I suspect the gang will want to continue to explore our creation once our current game ends. You’re welcome to join us.
@jasraj He is a natural podcaster i.e. a ham. Unfortunately I couldn’t figure out how to keep him engaged to keep that up. He soon had many interests that overshadowed podcasting. We did do some Star Trek flashcasts but now he is into D and D. /@Prodigyflashcast.
@Gaby From what you've shared, it seems NFS Unbound is worth checking out. I saw the trailer and it seems fun. I played many of the NFS games in the 90s starting from NFS III Hot Pursuit. 😎
@monday I'm a gamer! I tend to play most on Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch, these days. But I also have an Xbox that I occassionally boot up. Latest games I've been playing: Pokemon Scarlet/Violet and No Mans Sky 👾🎮
@monday I’ve been playing whatever the latest version is of The Sims for the past 22 years. Miraculously, not even EA has managed to ruin it for me.
I’m equally obsessed with the Dragon Age series but they just haven’t existed as long.
Currently, I’m playing Control and loving it. 🎮
@pcora I don't know! Depends on how much time you spent in it first time around. It's a big game, might be nice to save that old progress!
@monday Mostly JRPGs & puzzle games, the occasional Metroidvania (possibly the most satisfying genre), and Stardew Valley. Also point and click adventure.
@toddgrotenhuis that looks like a lot of fun. I have a feeling that after this story we’re telling in Mothership is done we’ll stay in the universe we built. But if not, I’d love to run this. Or Ultraviolet Grasslands. www.exaltedfuneral.com/products/...
