Re: "What games have you been playing recently?"
I've been trying to get through classic GBA games in the DS (r4 cart). A big one is metroid fusion. I've also ordered a powkiddy x55. Hoping I can play some indie games on it like Stardew and Celeste through ports. Technically I guess they are retro but not old games.

Also been really enjoying Unearthed since seeing @kelbot write about it! I'm also working my way through a Pokemon ROM hack called Unbound and really recommend it.
The Wii does have quite a few games that barely work but are fun regardless. Lego Lord of the Rings was one that I played the past year. Good casual co-op game.
Stardew Valley Expanded, Deceive Inc, and Crusader Kings 3

@Ruby_Witch I'm thinking of getting back into Civ 4 as well. Have you ever played any mods for it? There look to be some nice ones! I've never played 5 or 6 mostly because I've never felt like I've played 4 enough to get bored of it, haha.

@StanStani I can't say that I've messed around with mods for Civ 4 that much!
5 and 6 are fine by the way, but they're not *significantly* different. There are a few changes, the graphics are different, the narrators and music have changed.
I'm sure that some Civ purists would be happy to tell you about all of the other differences, but you're not missing much...but also there's no good reason to avoid them either. :)

What games have you been playing recently? — Lately I've been playing my Wii a ton (feels weird calling it retro, but it's not getting any younger either), which has been a blast. Current games I'm working through are: The Sims 3: runs like garbage, is buggy and convoluted, and yet it's been a ton of fun despite that Pikmin 2: I have no idea what I'm doing, the UI is incredibly extra, the gameplay is very fun so far. Haven't played any other Pikmin games before, but I'm figuring it out.
