Minecraft on Android, and Fallout 4 & Borderlands 2 on the Xbox One.

I'm trying to finish Fallout 4 (I started it months ago, but stopped for some reason.)

And I'm trying to play and finish both Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel before Borderlands 3 releases.

been playing Minecraft.

Lately I've been playing a lot of Team Fortress 2. 2Fort isn't bad. Turbine on the other hand...

Yes. 2Fort's good as a meme map and for practicing rocket jump strafing (imo), but those 3 sentry spots that completely shut down Turbine aren't fun. I do quite enjoy pubbing Scout on Turbine, though. But as much as I hate to say it, I find Frontier to be much more infuriating than Turbine. Something about the chokepointey-ness forcing me to play Soldier, Pyro or Spy and the odd cart mechanics make me boot it off my map list basically every time I play it.

Aside from the clear TF2, I've been playing a lot of Fallout 4 because settlement building is so much fun. I've also been trying to finally finish Commander Lilith and the Fight For Sanctuary, and I've been trying a puzzle game called QUBE 2.

At long last! I was really wondering if I was the only one that detests Frontier. I think I'm starting to get better with it, but it is painful. I want to like it, what with having a unique payload and the fact I am a train buff, along with the fact it constantly gets voted for, but it's been a bit tough. Getting constantly steamrolled doesn't really help with liking it. Thundermountain though is way past Frontier on my turd list. I positively HATE that map.

Going by hours I'd be a demo main, maybe engineer main. I consider myself an average player in terms of skill. Hopefully I'll get decent at spy in the future. Weekends for me become absolutely horrific in pubs. Get on a team of largely brand new people who I don't have the skill to carry, versus a whole team of veterans with thousands of hours. Spies, snipers, and medics galore. That is the definition of TF2's nether.

Frontier's just very unbalanced in general. My hatred started after I somehow was the difference-maker, defending the final point as Engineer with a Frontier Justice and Short Circuit of all things. I wasn't even using a level 3 sentry: I just kept placing mini-sentries in the middle of the bridge by RED's last spawn, and that somehow made me top-scoring and single-handedly led my team to victory for 13 minutes. I do also despise Thunder Mountain. I'd say it's #2 on my hate list, only behind Mountain Lab. (Turbine's #3 just because Scout.)

Based on my hours I'd either be a Soldier or Spy main, although I technically main Demoman. I'm definitely good at the game since I've wasted (as of today) 1756 hours of my life in TF2. It's my most played game ever. My take on TF2's Nether is when you're trying to push the payload around a corner but keep getting whaled by a level 3 sentry, and for some reason 3-4 of your teammates think, "I can take that thing as a Sniper!" But they never do. (I'm looking at YOU, Barnblitz.)

Currently Assassin's Creed Origins

I play Life Is Strange now. Does anyone else like it? I think it's the best game.

Mostly Warframe, and VintageStory (which is an indy game that aims to be similar to terrafirmacraft and has excellent mod tools)

Ah, Warframe's excellence. I wish I could get back into it, but Radeon Wattman keeps crashing it. Is it true they just released another Disruption update for PC?

Yup, 3 new disruption nodes, one gets the warframe parts for gauss, another drops his weapon BPs. I tihnk it's sedna, lua and kuva fortress for the new ones.

I started up another game of Factorio, this time 0.17.79. I went with double or triple settings on all ore generation, and fewer Biters and peaceful mode. There is an option to remove the Biters entirely from the game in the current stable beta.

My starting area:

I have all of the basic resources I need at this point. Next up is to replace all the burner drills with the electric ones. I have Uranium on the west, some oil to the northwest, a larger patch of oil to the southeast, and two Biter nests, each having around 4 spawners and a few small worms. The largest ore patch here is iron, with coal, copper, and stone above it.

I plan on locating all my smelting to the left and below the boilers and steam engines. Those are going to be expanded as needed until I get solar and/or nuclear power (a very long way off) going. The main bus is going to run north like I did with my previous playthrough. I also need to get some labs and science packs made to get some research going.

Edit: An update - I have made considerable progress, having just been able to research the Logistics Science Pack. Two screenshots of the current factory:

I plan on adding lighting to the area fairly soon. The factory is capable of generating 18 MW of power. Currently I am using about 20% of that, or about 3.5-3.6 MW. On the left below the water are my Boilers and Steam Engines. Above the water is my green circuit build - a total of 24 Assembling Machine 1's. To the right is my main bus. I chose to go with 2 lines of iron & copper, and 1 each of green circuits and steel. On the right of the bus are my Labs. These are where research is done using Science Packs. Above the Labs are where both Automation (red) and Logistics (green) science is made. Once I get enough of the latter, the next thing to research is Automation 2. This gives me Assembling Machine 2's, which are 50% faster,

The area to the right of the labs is a 'mall' area where I had basic components being made for building the factory. I'm planning on relocating it elsewhere, or reouting the incoming plates to the main bus and removing all the burner drills.

Smleting and mining areas:

The smelting lines from left to right are 40 Stone Furnaces (all are this type - I should have access to faster ones soon) for steel, 100 for iron for steel (this really should be 5:1 given that steel needs 5 iron plates for each item), 100 for copper, and 100 for iron. I left 7 tiles of space between the outermost belts on each line to allow for upgrading.

A Hat in Time

but mostly just Minecraft... I LOVE hat in time though if anyone hasn't played it I highly recommend checking it out. ( Then again I'm a sucker for games like Banjo Kazooie and Yuuka Laylee )

Updates on my Factorio play: I have progressed quite a bit, having done upgrades to most of the factory, added solar panels and accumulators (these act like batteries, storing power during the day and releasing it at night), gotten up to chemical science and done some other important research, gotten my first train going, and more. Some screenshots:

Edit: (Forgot to add the one with the train). The right image shows power generation, smelting, the beginnings of the main bus, part of the mall area, and my first train on this map, which is carrying coal. The left image shows the main part of the factory, accumulators (these store power by day and release it at night or when needed), green and red circuit production, my labs and all of the science production so far. Some of the items I am making are off the screen here. The center image are my solar panels and accumulators. Next to the research window is where I am making fast belt. That is the next major upgrade to be done in the factory.

Last, I am currently researching laser turrets. Although I am in peaceful mode, there are some biter nests nearby I want to clean out before expanding there. Plus I am going to be needing more ore in the not too distant future. One of the pre-requisites to researching laser turrets is Military 3, which gives slowdown and poison capsules. The latter are more useful than the former, especially against worms, which can outrange laser turrets in 0.17.

An update: two screenshots of the tech tree, showing researches I have available, and those I have completed.

This is probably one of the most important researches available in the game. Having Logistics and Construction Robots will make things easier, though getting to that point will be somewhat expensive, resource-wise. The research I have highlighted (Advanced Material Processing 2) will enable me to upgrade my smelting lines to Electric Furnaces. This one will be next after Robotics is completed, and will unlock the next Science Pack, the Production Science Pack.

The completed researches are in green, available ones in yellow, and locked ones in red. The green ones are in order of completion, with the older ones at the top. Recently completed ones along the bottom 3 rows: Cliff explosives, Solar energy, Concrete, Mining productivity 1, Inserter capacity bonus 2, Flamethrower, Electric engine, Lubricants, Advanced

oil processing, Lasers, Electric energy distribution 2, Uranium processing, Advanced electronics 2, Military 3, Laser turrets, Tanks.

After completing the current research and the one I have highlighted, the next one is Nuclear power.

I've also upgraded most of the belts in the factory to the red ones (Fast Transport Belt). These can move 30 items/s vs. 15/s for the yellow ones. All of the copper and iron belts have been done; next are steel, electronic circuits, advanced circuits, batteries and plastics. The underground variant of this belt type is expensive resource-wise. they use 40 iron gears per pair, while express underground belts use 80/pair. I've considered putting gears on the bus, but have never done it in any of my games, always making them locally instead.

Resident Evil 2 rn - got it on steam

I've been playing Dark Souls: Remastered since I bought it a few days ago. I've been raging ever since.
