I just built a gaming pc and I’m about to try out Baldurs gate 3. I haven’t played it but that’s next on my list. I hope it’s good.

I have beaten it once solo, have restarted solo, and am at various different spots in different runs with different friends. In my opinion it is the best RPG since Fallout: New Vegas.

If you have experience with DnD 5E then this will feel like a really good adaptation of that ruleset into a video game. If you do not, i recommend looking at some BG3 starter/class guides to kinda get a feel for how you want to play (though that said, dont feel locked in. There is a character you can meet in Act 1 that will be in your camp that will let you respec yourself or your companions for pretty cheap).

I've been playing TotK when my SO isn't using the Switch. On the PC it's mostly been BG3, but also Manic Miners (fan made Lego Rock Raiders remake, check it out!) when I want a more relaxed experience with a video in the background.

I just saw manic miners on here not l9ng ago how is it? It looks fun

If you've played Rock Raiders before, it's just like that, but better. It's a blast of nostalgia. Even if you haven't played it I'd say it's worth a try at least. The missions are short, ~10-20 minutes in the beginning, and it's free.

I’ve been playing brotato, and been enjoying it a lot recently, planning to dip my toes into mod content

I’ve also started playing borderlands GOTY on steam deck , it’s not that optimized with some stuttering but it’s playable And today I ordered a renewed rtx3070 to replace my GTX 1070 , supposed to be here in 3 weeks or 4 so wish me luck
