Do you play games? If so, which ones?

Any kind of game counts, not just video games. Personally I've been playing a lot of Risk of Rain 2 lately.

Getting back into playing more Hive lately. Both online (https://hivegame.com/) and at the table.

Lately I've been playing a lot of Battlefield 6 and Stellaris. I bought Arc Raiders today and was playing that all day it's a lot of fun.

Factorio, Oxygen Not Included, and Baldur's Gate 3 have been my go-to comfort games. Maybe we should have a tilde factorio server?

BG3 is great, I'm almost done with my dark urge playthrough and I've been thoroughly enjoying it. I'll probably play as Shadowheart afterwards.

I've been playing ARC Raiders and it's great, some of the best multiplayer I've had in years

I really like Factorio and Satisfactory :) Both very fun and addictive games! It wouldn't surprise me if a lot of people here play them.

Factorio is amazing! It's one of those games that I always end up coming back
to over the years. It scratches that brain itch for complexity but is relaxed
enough for me not to stress out about it.

Dwarf Fortress is the other game I always end up coming back to. I started
playing it approximately 1 billion years ago when I was in college. When the
Steam version came out, I took it as an opportunity to try and pay the game's
maker for how amazing it's been over the years. Despite myself, I really do
appriciate having an actual UI now. I have always loved games that allow for
emergent storytelling, and Dwarf Fortress seems to be one of the best at that.

Now I'm  re-living my childhood with some GB emulators
and games like Matt Hoffman's BMX whatever (like Tony
Hawk but with bikes) and it's far better than its
own games in the GB.

Also, Supercross Freestyle; maybe the best racing
game for the GB among Wacky Races and 
Top Gear Pocket 2. It almost looks like a GBA game.

I am a 90s kid, so I grew up playing FPS games for the most part (Doom, etc.), and these days I tend to prefer analogue games like chess and bridge, truly deep and fascinating.

Well, Sokoban can be played in theory with a cardboard,
some grid paper pasted into it and homemade pieces
resembling boxes and the worker. Use a light marker
to fill the squares from the origin place (light red)
to the end place (light green). These could
even be sold as a paper notebook with cheap
plastic pieces.

Another analog game would be Donsol from UXN 
or Scondrel as ANSI C for several ports.
Yes, you can play it inside a tilde with ease,
compiling it lasts miliseconds 
in any tilde, at least the C version:

Donsol:

You can't play UXN in a tilde *but*
you can compile it everywhere, there
are ports even for Windows XP.
Download the ROM and you are done.

But, you said that you prefer physical games.

That's the point there. If you read the Scoundrel/
Donsol guides, you can just play it with pen/paper
to jot down your life/shield points
and a Poker card deck.

And the game gets fun, too.

My wife and play NYTimes games nearly every day. Lately it's been
nights, in bed before sleep. Mostly Spelling Bee, and when we hit a rut
we'll solve Connections and come back. And if Spelling Bee looks like
more of a challenge/time sink than we want then, we'll do Wordle
instead.

0 I do play computer games, casually and occasionally. They are mostly old games from the MS-DOS and early Windows era that do not require quick reconing and reaction but can be enjoyed with a cup of tea: graphical and text adventures, turn-based strategies and tactics, although I not any good at them.

Some of the few exceptions are two-player real-time games:
1. Ignition, 1996
2. Rocketz, <http://www.bluemoon.ee/history/roketz/index.html>
3. Ragdoll masters
4. Z, 1996, by /The Bitmap Brothers/

I am also hosting a Play-by-Email proxy for Em@ail X-COM by Hasbro Interactive, but is in beta stage yet.

I play a lot of video games. Lately I've been really into Mount and Blade: Warband and Hydroneer. I suspect I'm not the only one in the tildeverse with 500+ hours in factorio - I think we did have a factorio server once but I'm not sure if it's still active. If we got that and the minecraft server running again I would definitely participate. I'm also a big fan of Zachtronics puzzle games, and I play a truly ridiculous amount of DOOM. I was trying to beat the Elder Scrolls: Arena at one point but after a while the dungeons start to feel a little samey and I kinda lost interest.

As for other kinds of games, I'm a big fan of a board game called the Red Dragon Inn. I've played some Settlers of Catan, but I don't really have anyone to play it with regularly, so nnever really got into it. I like to solve math puzzles, and I have a book of them called Puzzles and Paradoxes: Fascinating Excursions in Recreational Mathematics. I also like a logic puzzle murder mystery series called Murdle.

i've played so many games throughout my life

these days, i mostly play HELLDIVERS 2, Factorio, and Team Fortress 2. fun stuff!

I play Nethack, which after more than thirty years I have yet to beat.

I enjoy boardgames such as Mysterium, which is a cooperative sequel to
Clue. I've only played a little of Settlers of Catan but my sisters-in-law
are big into the game so I'm sure I'll learn more. I also like "Betrayal
at the House on the Hill" and Jackbox games when I can get my kids online.

I really enjoy playing Scrabble, but ScrabbleGo is atrocious so I usually
only play in person.

I've been playing a lot of Rain World recently. Haven't really gone online at all, but the singleplayer campaign has been really fun, though at points kinda frustrating, lol. Friends have been helping me out with learning mechanics and exploration, the game is also really beautiful so it balances out for me. Very good. High recommend.

I just raised my first plant in botany to seed-bearing. I kept checking
in and never felt ready to commit harvest. But now it's done. You'd
think by 2025 I'd have automaticlly screenshot or taken a pic, but no. I
lived in the ethereal digital moment, and the screen cleared. Goodbye,
common abraxan orange-flowering jade plant. Welcome, mystery seed.

Right now I am playing Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 and Marvel's Spiderman 2 :)
