What I’m Playing (August 2021)

 in Video Games  tagged #SlayTheBackLog by

Initially, I didn’t play much still in terms of the number of games played that have completions, but not in terms of hours put in.  Lots of Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War played in Zombie’s Outbreak mode, some more Stardew Valley before that tapered off, some Everybody’s Golf, and then PowerWash Simulator came along, and oh man, I played that whole Career mode within a few days, but I haven’t listed it below because it is in Early Access and the career mode is still having content added to it.  Been knocking out a few of the shorter games, at least, but also trying not to beat myself up over not getting through stuff with story/endings played.

I picked up quite a few new PC games from supporting an indie developer fundraising project, but I only listed the ones I actually installed and plan to play.  I also now do Throwback Thursdays on my Twitch stream, where I replay something from one of my older consoles, so I added that to the new Active Replays section.  Anything there you can presume I’m playing at once a week or have played (as marked).

As always, between these updates, you can watch me stream on Twitch (usually 2-3x a week) and you’re welcome to track what I’m playing and what’s in the queue over at HowLongToBeat.com!
