I'm happy you're enjoying the Remake of FF Tactics, tho I've seen some peole saying that the remake is easier than the original. Not sure if It's true or not.

I've been keeping myself busy since we last talked about the games we were playing.

After asking here I gave Dragon Age Origins a go and... it didn't go too well. For starters, the game crashes a lot. There are supposed to be several fixes you can try to do but none of the ones I tried worked. I know the GOG version of the game is updated and should work fine, but then comes my other problem with the game, the difficulty.
You see, I played my character's origin story, became a Grey Warden, did my part in the battle and reached a town after it with little problems besides the crashes. But after that the difficulty spikes a lot and randomly. I tried to do two different missions (the tower of mages and searching for the Arl) and while both started of well, at one point I would find myself facing one group of enemies with no big problems only to be obliterated by the next group. It was frustrating and coupled with the crashes, I decided to try something else.

And so after that I played, and beated, The Outer Worlds, The Ghostbusters Remastered (dated, but I actually enjoyed it) and Hob. Now I'm playing a citybuiler, Aven Colony. I've also played a bit of Euro Truck Simulator 2 between them while I was trying to decide what to play next.

They have 3 difficulty modes in the game - Squire (Easy), Knight (Normal) and Tactical (Hard).

Tactical (Hard) is the default difficulty from the original PS1 version so Knight (Normal) and Squire (Easy) are new to the game.

I was playing on Knight but I changed it to Tactical after the first battle because it was too easy for me since I'm used to playing the regular difficulty from having played the PS1 version multiple playthroughs in the past.

I'm thinking about trying out Dragon Age Origins, only bioware games I played are the original Mass Effect trilogy.

Since we're talking about games we've played, I guess I might also mention that recently I caved in and bought Alan Wake 2 and also finished it last weekend. For ~18.50 € for the base game and all DLC, I'd say that's a fair price. I don't really like giving Epic any money, but I guess it didn't look like the game was going to happen without Epic, so there's that. Anyway, it was fun. I don't enjoy horror, but it didn't hurt my experience too much, and the story was interesting. There were a few flaws, but overall, it was a great game. The first one was very memorable especially thanks to its story, and I expect the second game to also be memorable.

Did you get Alan Wake 2 from the humble bundle? They had Alan Wake remaster and Alan Wake 2 in the bundle. 

I never played any of them but I'll try it out in the future too lol
