Too Many Games!

My productivity on personal projects has plummeted recently with all the big (and obscure) new releases. I was happy playing a bit of Death Stranding between working on my side projects but now I’m stuck trying to balance Baldur’s Gate 3 (which is amazingly good), a new Path of Exile league, Palia (an interesting “cosy” MMO-ish game with no combat). While fighting the urge to also get Armoured Core VI, and Starfield, which I’m dying to play. Still wanting to fit in my second play through of Death Stranding. Also knowing that soon we’ll have the Cyberpunk expansion, more Age of Empires IV content, maybe some Stormgate, the new RTS from Frost Giant Games. And probably more that I’m forgetting. I was already far behind on the games front, but now that backlog is getting bigger and bigger and I’m getting far too distracted from working on my own games and side projects. Can everyone in the industry just slow down a bit please, give everyone a chance to catch up a bit, thanks.

oh and I’ve started playing It Takes Two with my partner again, which I’d highly recommend. Great co-op game, not that I think there’s anyone out there that doesn’t already know that.

Anyway, back to D&D questing, tending to my crops and mining, slaughtering 1000s of enemies clearing maps, delivering parcels in an apocalyptic world, blowing up mechs, being a space pirate, fighting medieval wars, solving puzzles as a miniature clay doll, and maybe just maybe doing a bit of programming on side projects and finding the time to do some art practice.
