Once you finish the standard game and DLC, check out the mods. There have been annual game jams that do add some stories.

I've been [driving trains](https://store.steampowered.com/app/3656800/Train_Sim_World_6/), learning how to [build a medieval town](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1044720/Farthest_Frontier/) and killing a bunch of [zombies in Bel Air](https://store.steampowered.com/app/934700/Dead_Island_2/). How about you?

Finally diving into Octopath Traveler 2. Also played some good old Team Fortress 2. Haven't played yet but soon probably some hilarious lobbies of Lethal Company

I also played expedition 33 and my god man, I need to talk about it. What a mind fuck and depressing game. It's beautiful and written well, but with dark themes and I came away not sure what to do after finishing it.

How about you?I’ve been hung up on Unnamed Space Idle for a while, an incremental game that involves moving your little ship forwards through little sectors watching it blast infinite enemy ships while numbers go up. It’s insidious how it layers system after system for making those numbers go up to make the whole process interesting. At first you just slot stuff in as it unlocks because there’s space, but then there’s more to equip than you have slots for and you have to start focusing one or two things at a time. There have been days where I have just sat watching and every few minutes clicking something to shave just a few minutes off a major upgrade.

https://outerwildsmods.com/mods/ Quantum space buddies is good if you want to play coop. That's how I played the DLC Suitlog allows access to the computer from your suit Scout stream makes the scout a video stream instead of a snapshot As for story DLC, I've played "the vision" and "The stranger". I liked the stranger much better, but it's nice to have any new content.

Does one ever really "complete" Rimworld though?

I also went into the game blind, but the anxiety inducing loop I did not enjoy at all. I may give it another try some day.At first the loop also made me feel like I had to hurry a lot. But the more I played the more I found calm in it. You can get to anywhere pretty quickly, and you find plenty of shortcuts if you look for them. And what you don't have time for in this loop, you have time for in the next. Slow down, enjoy the journey.

Slow down, enjoy the journey.For me it was when I was in another planet, doing some kind of progress, and then boom. When I spent most of my time just getting to, and landing on, the planet, just to get "blipped" again 5 minutes into solving a puzzle, was frustrating. And, to me, it seemed like it happened at random. Trying to stay with the "playing blind" idea, I didn't look into the actual timing of the booms. It was a constant dread when I was doing something, thinking it may pop at any time.

How about you?No break for me but I've been doing "old dog, new tricks" by picking up some SMW Kaizo. I'm four exits out of seven in [Shell's Retriever](https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=18729) so far. I think I'm doing fair for only being a couple weeks into playing romhacks and for last playing SMW in the 90s. I don't think I'll ever get around to "Baron of Shell" or any other crazy hard hacks but it has been fun working on a few of the "easy" ones. I'll probably get back to Factorio after I finish Retriever. Possibly not until after the sequel, Shell's Redeemer, but I've previewed it and it looks substantially tougher.

How about you?EU5 has been my sole game for over a month now. It needs some work, and I don't love paradox, and I think think the game is too much of a cookie-clicker reskin... but it's scratching that grand strategy itch. I've also been on turtle-wow (private vanilla+) which has really been recapturing the spirit of 2004-08 wow for 7(?) years now.
