The controls hold up better than something like Star Wars Rogue Squadron, which I surprised myself to discover. I have great memories of Rogue Squadron but the controls are stiff in all the wrong ways while StarFox is comparatively easier to fly even in the non-linear arena areas.
Visually StarFox is obviously dated, but because it opted for big low detail style to begin with it isn’t difficult on the eyes the way “realistic” N64 games look today.

It strikes me as something that could be updated with only modern textures and look very good in an indie style.
I’ve gotten back into Warframe on Steam/PC recently. I’ve been pretty busy with work, so it’s nice to have a game where I can log in, do a mission or two, log off, and get back to work in 20 minutes or so. I like to play it when I need to take a short break from work, too.
I’ll probably be playing this until Spider-Man 2 gets around to releasing on Steam.
Got back into Civ VI after a while and I'm continuing my playthrough of every Civ. Currently playing as Qin Shi Huang (Unifier) and crushed Georgia because they declared a surprise war on me.
Finished all of Mario wonder, got platinum for robocop rogue city and finished sea of stars on my steam deck.
Robocop was so much fun to play and felt like it could have been a new movie in the series.
Playing now dead cells on my steam deck, got my very first Xbox ever during black Friday, the series x and started playing tunic on it and on the PS5 I’m busy with tnmt: shredder’s revenge.
Tunic is being a blast. Love the ingame manual you discover during the playthrough.
I’ve been playing “will I be able to get Genshin Impact running in Linux in a way that is comfortable for me?”
(AAGL runs it, but I’ve only managed to get it full-screen or 1920x1080 in a borderless window pinned in the center of my screen. I’d like to drag that 1920x1080 window down close to the lower-right corner, but can’t figure out how to move it or get it running with normal draggablr window borders). Arch+xorg+kde+nvidia. Couldn’t get it to install either Lutris and haven’t tried other launchers.
High On Life. I’m usually not big on FPSs, but the writing is so dumb/hilarious that I’m still having a blast. Also, that dino love story b-movie that’s on the TV in the living room — I gotta check that out IRL.
Chained Echoes as recommended by a friend. What. A. Game!!! 30 hours in now and i can easily see myself going 100 hours on this. Beautiful story, art and mechanics, tons of old school jrpg feels. Love it
I’m still going through Spider-Man 2 as my main game.
I was fortunate to get a new OLED recently that does the 120hz/40fps modes and all those wizbangs, and things kinda finally feel “next gen.” Smooth gameplay with little sacrifice to visuals (ray tracing is still on). Yeah yeah, it’s not a 4090ti or whatever. But I’m in my living room with a giant 4K screen and surround sound and it’s great.
I think with the much better SSD speeds of the ps5 and xbox, along with this 120hz business, I’m finally like “oh wow, ok. That’s cool.” The newest Ratchet and Clank in this setup is insane. There’s probably an argument that you shouldn’t have to buy a new TV to get these visual benefits and whatnot. And that’s fine. But I’m fortunate to be able to get the fun toys, so I’m having a real good time.
