Not too many games, but I played the hell out of a few. (So glad there isn’t an total hours played stat)

Would have more dwarf, but the guy I was playing with decided he was too good to play with me, and I got bored playing solo.

And only pulled after some pearl clutching nanny noticed and decided to point out the original ruling.

Not the first time someone had a dummy spit over a game that is less problematic than the average M rated movie…

I have ended every session of Sea of Thieves by setting my ship on fire.

I still feel bad for the two guys who were laughing as my ship burned (while on my ship) when the gunpowder kegs exploded and killed us all.

But only a little bad. They knew things would explode eventually, I was carrying a keg of gunpowder, and my ship was on fire!

We’ve been using it since it came available to test, and is such a lovely change from before. The check out system is so much cleaner than the old locked out of account while someone in the family is playing.

Satisfactory. Lots to organize and build. A bit of a learning curve if you want to get complex, but if you want to keep things simple it’s really doable.

No Man’s Sky. Space exploration, building, and all round reason to goof about for hours. (Free to play this weekend on all platforms.)

Both games have a great community.

Not easily. :(

Current list is Path of Exile, Sea of Thieves, Satisfactory, and Warframe. Aust timezone.

No argument there. Just have to find a new place to game from.

It’s incredibly isolating when there is a game you are super keen to play, but your gaming group powers through as a group to end game, leaving you on your own to play catch-up.

They make promises to help, but magically they are always to busy even for a ten minute assist to help kill that boss it took them five people to take down.

A little empathy would have gone a long way, perhaps an invite to a group when they’ve rerolled their fourth character while I’m still levelling my first.

The people I’d been playing games with for the past few years stopped including me even on a token level. ‘We thought you were in guild/server/discord already.’ Never did get those invites.

Path of Exiles. Been many years since I last played, so it’s pretty much a new game to me.

Also playing Sea of Thieves, but not as much as I’d like - it’s boring sailing solo.

Word. Just left a few communities that I was the only gal in. They can choke on their rape jokes, dick holding and death threats. But I’m the one overreacting to them “burning off steam”.

I wanted to play a game without having to deal with a bunch of sexist manchildren, not call the suicide hotline twice in six months.
