I took a slight break from all the games I was playing on PS4 (Yakuza 0, FF7 Remake, Persona 5 Royal, Catherine Full Body) and went back to some multiplayer shooters on PC. Been playing a lot of Valorant and Riots card game. Probably will jump back into CSGO at some point soon again.
I dipped my toes back into Eve but fell off pretty quick, slow paced games aren't really my thing while being stuck at home. Might try the City of Heroes server again later today.
Valorant not scratching the CSGO itch enough?
It is mostly but not entirely, but as much as people want to call them clones, Valorant is much more team based and requires a lot of coordination between team mates / utilization of each specific skill correctly to win against good players. Whereas in CS you can buy the smokes and flashes and carry a victory if you have to. And relying on randoms in Valorant to coordinate has been pretty tough
Been playing ESO for the past 10 months. 720CP in and I am pushing the wire to get 810CP. So its what I play mostly. I just bought Jedi Fallen Order and Trine 1 through 4. I got them as a deal this week on Steam and I am looking forward to playing them. Trine looks awesome, side scrolling fantasy action with some unique puzzle solving. So I am all covered up. I will admit if Pantheon moves into beta I would drop everything to get lost in that game lol
Star Citizen and Overwatch mainly.
I took advantage of the leveling boost in WoW to level up some alts.
Valorant was a very short story.
Wanted to give Population Zero a try but I learned from Atlas and read the reviews first so that's a pass as well.
I'm dealing with more physical maladies (probably *not* corona virus). That's really limiting my time at the PC. What gaming time I do manage has been put into Civ V. The big diversion has been Eric Idle's The Entire Universe, though. Worth watching, even if it pretends to be educational (or as close to educational as PBS gets these days).
Sorry to hear about your illness. Any cold or flu symptoms are worrying if it happens now. I've woken up with a sore throat and sniffles a couple of times in the past few weeks and that was enough to make wonder and worry a bit. So far so good though.
Hope you feel better.

On PC its Echo Of Soul 5 years in and still going. Just started Gears Tactics which is awesome. On console its mostly Mortal Kombat 11 and just random Game Pass games.

So, I thought I'd direct this towards you @Scorchien ; Since you seem to be around.
What I want to know is, why do skeletons bleed? And why do the undead
have so much gold on them all the time? Also, why am I having such
trouble finding a merchant in New Haven who will buy all the stuff I
keep finding on the corpses of the undead? Btw, looting a clean bandage
on a Zombie is a rare treat. 2x so far.

Bleed attacks can only be avoided thru spell or bandage , low levl skels have neither nor the skill to use them .. Dont worry you will find plenty of mobs that will later .,.
There amount of gold is pretty trivial ..
What are you trying to sell Bone Armor .. noone buys it .. Crafters have some use for it , and there can be some nice Bone armor drops with great stats altho the durability is usually very bad ..

Okay, so the Skeletons aren't powerful enough to be able to stop themselves from bleeding blood they don't have. Got it.
Yeah, I stopped looting the Bone Armor. What about jewelry (like bracelets or rings?). I did find an armorer type that will buy certain kinds of armor. Though that wasn't what I was most interested in selling. So, basically, I just have to find the kind of NPC that already sells the kind of stuff I find?
Also, it seems like Encumbrance isn't at all realistic in UO. I'm carrying a lot of heavy stuff in my backpack already. I guess it's magical? I don't know. (Put some stuff in the bank, but I don't have much room in my bank right now.)
Another thing. Why doesn't my Strength increase by wearing armor and wielding a sword in battle? Seems kind of odd. I read a bit about how to increase Str, but it's not really stuff I'm interested in doing right now. Even though I've found some armor that requires higher strength. Seems to kind of make sense that if wearing certain kinds of armor requires higher strength, then wearing the armor I'm able to equip now would gradually increase strength. You know, while I'm walking, running, fighting, and stuff.

Yes Jeweler..for jewelry , Weaponsmith for weapons etc .. altho a provisioner will buy most anything at a reduced price
.. Encumbrance will weigh on you later (pun intended) All my toons have to deal with it even my strongest .. and you will also become more concious of it as you grow and the first time you are close to weight and a mob casts weaken on you , ohh the fun ..
They have made the new player expereince much easier , so as not scare off players .. if you want an old school UO feel roll on Siege perilous ..
New player expereince is very friendly now , to help you learn the game and not be encumbered by such things early ..
Your strength will increase by fighting with sword , fast way to raise is mining or lumberjacking , Lumberjacking will give a sweet damage bonus to sword skill also
I know a guildie of mine was giving away millions of Gold in New Haven other nite .. keep your eyes open ..

Thanks for the tips. Much appreciated. But I don't want any hand-outs. I like to earn my own way. Pull myself up by my bootstraps and all that.

Oh yeah. What's the best way to Lumberjack? With an axe? How does one go about Lumberjacking in an efficient manner? (And is that where the term Jacking came from? As in Carjacking.)

Dude, I just looted 35 gold from a Skeleton. Why is a Skeleton carrying 35 pieces of gold? What would a Skeleton spend 35 gold pieces on? This is an serious question.
Also, why are there Ninjas in Britannia? Seriously, WTF.

GW2. Just can't stop playing. My wife will hit me with a roller if I don't play with her.
Ya I cant play any MMO without my wife. Past 13 years she has been my constant companion. We started dating when her mage got level 30 in WoW. I said to myself. Self, you need to marry this woman. She's hot and plays video games with me. My unicorn, rare and awesome =-)

Even though I rated your comment as "Awesome", please don't take it literally. Only the supernatural can explicitly be defined as "Awesome", IMHO. Though that's not to say that the Supernatural can't be somewhat involved in matters of the heart.

I love WoW Classic and have been playing it since launch. Saying that, it is too bad that the none of the current up and coming MMORPGs could have successfully launched recently. It would have been a great time to deep dive into a new MMORPG. You don't get too many times in life where you get the free time to jump into a new game like 15-20 years ago.
They don't make Free Time like they used to. And no one seems to want to make Free Time even better than they used to. For some reason.

Just finished Borderlands 3 campaign (PC) and Marvel's Spiderman (PS4). Play a lil Deep Rock Galactic from time to time. Currently chipping away at Code Vein and Hades.
Think I'll get Persona 5 Royal and Jedi Fallen Order when done with those, and then replay Witcher 3 and Horizon Zero Dawn when I finish that. Pandemic must be heaven for online game retailers, I know I'm spending like 2-3 times what I usually do since the lockdown started.

I still need to play the Spidey DLC. Loved the game, but never went back to it after I finished the main campaign.

May 1st I shifted to Vendetta Online and working through the DDO dungeon packs I don't own.
I'm also spending time playing old counters & map wargames.
