What videogames are you playing in 2026?

Stayed up late because I just had to finish off Act 2 of Clair Obscur, and watch the opening of Act 3, and then had to stay up about a half hour after that just to think about what happened in that game. This game fills me with a sense of foreboding like no other.

Finished my fourth playthrough of Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Ended up going with a Veil Jumper elf rogue saboteur after all. That was fun. Even on my fourth playthrough, I still found new quests and new locations.

I’ve also got a low-level LoF Qunari slayer warrior, but 2H weapons are so slow. I may be running out of steam with this game.

(My daughter is up to DA:I on her first play through of the series. I’d forgotten just how plastic the characters look in that game! Veilguard’s characters look so much better!)

I’m kind of tempted to start from the beginning with DA:O and play through to DA:V again, but I probably won’t bother. These aren’t quick games.

I have a few kids, and setup a home server last year[dell OptiPlex/i5/15GB RAM, Lubuntu] - found a wonderful voxel game called Luanti (minetest), you can replicate minecraft, or play other games people developed. Minecraft was after my time, but my kids enjoy it, and after setting up a host on my personal server (stupid simple). We been playing as a team, building exploring - find it fun. Isleward a hosted/self-hosted roguelike mmo is next on my setup list, but finding it is more complex to do so.

Also installing a new EQ EMU game, miss EQ.. but live is meh. Not a fan of DBG, who owns it.
