I am pretty much always playing a PC game.

I am sometimes playing a console game.

The amount differs due to my friends multiplayer preferences, but I am usually playing 2-5 games per week, with only one of them being on console.

Usually focus on playing one at a time. Currently in a resident evil phase. Finished RE2 remake, re3 remake, now on re4 remake. On PC



It depends. It’s fairly normal for me to be playing two or three games at once, but I’ll go as low as one, sometimes four.

Usually a game or two on Switch, a PC game, and a casual mobile game with sessions around three minutes (longer than that, and I’ll churn after a month or two).

Currently I’ve got three games on the go, Crusader Kings 3 (co-op campaign), Witcher 3 (Switch), and Stellaris (single player). I had a mobile game on the go, but I quit because of the multiplayer feature - it’s not the main part of the game, but it annoyed me that I’d lose repeatedly to people who seem to be on the game 12-18 hours a day, when I can only afford 3-4 very short sessions combining to a total of about 10-12 minutes. It’s not really fun to keep spectacularly losing with no chance of winning :D

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

One at a time. If I play more than one I end up not finishing anything.

Man, what're ya at playing The Witcher 3 on switch. Ya gotta play it on PS5 where it gets the quality it deserves. I at least hope you're playing in handheld mode to glaze over the quality disparity and the detail and performance loss isn't as big of an issue.

MP games with friends? Fo you get a vote for what's in rotation or is it like group consensus at the time?

We basically like the same games. I won't buy multiplayer games that I don't like and vice versa. We choose based on feeling on the day.

As it should be. Man, I wish I had friends 😆. 



I like to really go deep into one game at a time and kind of live and breathe that world. I absorb everything I can out of it and then move on, I don't replay games. Never have problems with hard drive space on the Playstation, that's another bonus that comes with this approach.



I typically have 2 going on, sometimes 3, depending genre and am I doing something else (reading a book, binging TV or comics...)
Usually only one action game at time, other(s) being turn based strategy, RPG, adventure or puzzle games.
