    Not one MMORPG yet you are a writer for MMORPG huh? This is like going to an authentic Chinese restaurant and being served by some blonde, white guy named Brad.

    As for me, I've been playing ESO the majority of the time, just started on the WoW Shadowlands Pre-Patch as well. Yea....MMORPGs ;)

    This article felt like an ad for Sony more than what you're playing. You getting sponsored by them or something?

    Currently 110+ hours into my 1st playthrough of Divinity Original Sin 2. Before that was 180+ hours in my 1st playthrough of The Witcher 3.

    Until recently I had not played a single non-mmo (excluding a stint in Arma 3) in close to 15 years. I've decided to give mmos a break for the foreseeable future and focus on a lot of the great games I've missed over the years. I'm glad I have.

    That's 2 very high quality RPGs. I loved them both.

    I rolled back into DDO during the tail end of the Halloween event and just kept playing. I've been grinding favor on my alt since it ended.

    Still playing Divinity Original Sin 2.  Have spent some time in Madden 21 on PS4 and I am heading toward Baldurs gate 3, and Cyberpunk when it releases.  Outside chance I may get into Tropico 6 or Age of Empires 3 definitive edition instead or and/or.

    Mike B has been around for a long time and has played plenty of MMORPGs. I don't care whether he hasn't touched one in the last month, or even the last year because the MMO genre is a bloody trainwreck right now.

    Point being, he has his experience at some point and is qualified to discuss MMORPGs. The metaphor doesn't work, because the blonde guy named Brad has never been Chinese (and even so, who cares - he's serving, not cooking).

    I was playing Path of Exile, but got enough when I had to send a trade request to 26 people before someone answered. I'm thinking about playing STALKER games again. Or Factorio with Bobs, never tried that before.

    You're the one in the "not an MMO, stop talking about other things" crowd. You're the killjoy.

    Nothing.

    On a game hiatus since nov 1st.

    NGN - no gaming November
    I thought November was "Movember" for growing moustaches to raise awareness for men's health issues?  Never heard of no gaming - what is that for?

    "Movember (a portmanteau of the Australian-English diminutive word for moustache, "mo", and "November") is an annual event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and men's suicide."

    Got back into starcraft 2 on ladder like a masochist.

    I watched some of the Starcraft 2 tournament play, and videos of people 1 v 3ing other high ranked players (and winning).

    Yeah, insane skills.  Dissuaded me from seriously trying to climb the ladder.

    Bannerlord. 100+ hours and I don't feel like I've really gotten anywhere. . .

    Genshin, probably couple more weeks left in me on that one unless they have an event thats fun.

    Probably going to rerun through ff7remake or another solid rpg. Busy season with work so probably wont be doing much honestly. Possible Valhalla? We will see.

    I fired up Civ V today and rummaged around with Genghis Khan.  My issues with text labels and the interface in HOI 3 have flared up again, so I'm kinda putting that on the back burner for awhile.  I've fizzed out on Surviving Mars, but am stubborn enough to know I'll be back trying that again, probably around Tuesday.

    For some inexplicable reason, EQ1 is still in my daily cycle -- pop in on a character long enough to run Lesson and solo away.  EQ1 has had a radical change in how I view it -- from it's origins as a group-oriented game to a pretty good solo (plus merc) experience.  It's far more satisfying that other MMORPGs in that respect.  From a 3 to 4 hour duration, EQ1 has become my quick hitter.  (It helps that my attention span is only about an hour or so these days).



    Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.

    Just started GI. You guys said it was gorgeous and damn it really is. I’m trying something new using my 4K tv as a monitor with an Xbox controller so I can couch potato it. Working great so far. Set to vsync at 60 FPS but pretty smooth.

    Now look up No Nut November. And then look up how many "Event_X_Here November" there are.
    None of which are actually helpful. Breast cancer awareness gets extensive promotion, fund raising, and merchandising. No X November challenges just make us pointlessly miserable.

    Messing about with Grim Dawn but the grim tools are down so I am hampered trying to look at builds without it.
    This is my go-to guy for some very good and fun builds: 

    https://www.requnix.com/gaming/grim-dawn-builds

    The guides are well-written and very easy to follow. I'm particularly fond of this Cabalist (Necro + Ocultist) build:

    https://www.requnix.com/gaming/grim-dawn-builds/sir-crunchybones-skelemancer-cabalist


    Ya know ive always found that that half the fun and most satisfying progression is when i make my own build that works ...

       and curently plowing thru Warhammer Chaosbane .. new Witch Hunter is well done fun
    Is this game actually any good? I'm looking for a new ARPG but the reviews on this one aren't great to put it mildly.

    For a quick fix Overwatch on PC.

    Picked up AC: Valhalla for the Xbox Series X and have been playing that over the weekend.

    Unfortunately I'm not playing any mmos right now.
