Nothing is really jumping out to me.

I may do another run of cyberpunk during rainy season since it's about all my PC can do and upgrading is basically impossible right now.

I just finished my ~yearly run of Skyrim (with mods other than just skyui for the first time this time).

I used to play a lot of 7 Days, but they lost me when they started adding triggers in POIs that automatically alerted zombies, opened doors, etc. and TFP's general bullshit after that.

The only other two games I've played this year are Last Caretaker (it was alright but had too many performance issues and bugs at the time), and Peglin which I'm also kinda over.

    Yeah, I can't play it with very high settings. My PC is probably about 6-8 years old and has no upgrades (and wasn't bleeding edge when I built it, but not horrible either)

    I guess we have different needs :). I can play current gen releases(still fuck unreal 5 and itshorrbile optimization) with relatively good framerates on high/ custom settings, but cyberpunk has been unplayable for me since launch because of cpu requirements and my personal bottom line on performance& visuals. Wanted to upgrade last year, now im just going through the stuff i already have. (Summer sale got me though). Just got back into Zweih: The Ilvard Insurrection, a game thats been resting for what feels like a decade in my steam library. Starts out even better than the first part and im more hyped for the game than anything new triple a & jrpgs ive played in recent times.

    with mods other than just skyui for the first time this time

    Congrats, you are well on your way to becoming the type of person that spends 6 weeks making a skyrim modlist instead of playing the game, launching it for 15 minutes to make sure everything works, and then losing interest in the game after a day or two.

    I recently found out about a mod called Sentinel, and holy hell is it exactly what I needed to actually enjoy the cool looking but blatantly overpowered Creation Club armors.

    I used to play a lot of 7 Days, but they lost me when they started adding triggers in POIs that automatically alerted zombies, opened doors, etc. and TFP’s general bullshit after that.

    It's soooo bad lol. I stopped playing around the same time, and I had almost 1,000 hours in the game. I get it, they needed a way to optimize performance, especially in large cities, and having the zombies hiding in air ducts unloaded until you trigger them is certainly a way to do it. But fuck is it immersion breaking and purely unfun. It doesn't feel like a zombie apocalypse when I'm standing in a city blasting my gun and there's like 4 zombies walking around to actually hear it.
