BoC work, a bit of Civil War II and some Command Modern Ops. All while recovering from turkey overload.. :)
^That is a load of fun to play on Rock Band!
I've got 3 Field of Glory:Empire games going. The first is with some of our compadres here at Grogs. I am Belgae and it is still early. I have a +++ leader, but my expansion is being checked by no gold or manpower income and the Aedui.
The second is also with some fellow Grogs, but it is three of us as opposed to six in the first game. I am Arverni. I hold the exact borders of 3 provinces minus Massalia (on the southern coast of what will one day be France). I'm not exactly sure how I've done it, but, I have almost a 2.5:1 ratio of Culture over Decadence, which puts me 3rd out ~70 countries. But Rome is right next door, and if I don't find a direction to expand, I will be hemmed in and useless to my allies.
The third game is solo. Again I am Arverni. This time I have horrible Decadence issues, but quite a bit of territory. I own all of France, again minus the SE corner around Massalia. I have most of Belgium and I am making inroads into the western middle of Germany and control the southern shore of England. There, I am stalemated. The native Celt armies are large and vicious and I have yet to build the reinforcements I will need to take the rest of the Isles.
I plan on playing WarPlan this weekend. For mindless, beer drinking fun, some CoD Modern Warfare. Looking forward to the new seasonal content next week.
And maybe a game of Wingspan with the girlfriend.
Enjoy the weekend, Grogs!

All Division all de time - unless I weaken and get GR: Breakpoint at which point I'll get all shooty with that one. :smitten:
Otherwise...?
I'm mostly jumping between Age of Wonders: Planetfall and Civilization VI right now -- two games I picked up on sale to scratch the 4X itch that I've suddenly come down with!
Otherwise I might jump back on some Unity of Command 2 or WarPlan.

My gaming group just had to abandon our playthrough of
The Division 2 because it kept lagging for one of us.
Breakpoint is a little rough around the edges but is overall a fantastic time. You'll have a lot of fun clearing out bases with nothing but your marksman rifle and sync shot drones for company. ;)
We're playing the ridiculously fun
Deep Rock Galactic tonight! Can't wait for that. Maybe some
Helldivers and
always some of the ever-evolving and always fantastic
Tower Unite. Also, for some reason I find myself playing
Wargame: Red Dragon again.
After removing about 1 billion tons of leaves from around my forested manse, I hope to get some more time in with Age of Empires 2 and then some Ancestor's Legacy + Kingdom Come: Deliverance...in between family outings and visits. Snowstorm (1st of the season) coming on Sunday and Monday. If power does not go out, that will allow more gaming.
Also dueling with my Steam wishlist. I've spent about 19 dollah so far and want to keep the total to below 50.
CMRT's user-made Campaign: The Road to Minsk, a real brawl against the German 78th Sturm Division. <:-)
Red Dead Redemption 2 and Command Modern Operations.

Yeah. If I had hair to pull out, I would've done it already owing to trying to find the sweet spot in the settings that lets me run this thing. I swear I didn't have these problems doing the Div 2 Beta test but I also recognize that I need to beef up my rig too.
There's nothing worse than having a PC that smashes the requirements for a game, only for it to run like shit for no fathomable reason. I just installed My Time at Portia which stutters like hell on my fairly beefy system, yet I can run Ghost Recon: Breakpoint with ultra settings and have no problem at all. :uglystupid2:
Battlefront II (got it for $10 off origin and so did 2 other mates)
Steel Division 2
Battletech - Now that I have all the DLC. However the campaign is finished and 99% of the planets only offer top tier missions. Which makes it hard to experiment with new pilots or lighter mechs.
Naval Action - A lot happening on that front atm. 6 new ships announced and new wood etc
Star Citizen - Yes. I need to try it a little more. A mate said to me last night the game was lagging when he was on planet (this is another friend who built a PC for star citizen). I still have to watch the latest citizencon.

Roguetech, dude.
Mius Front. Although I just exited a battle I had been playing to run MSI and when I reopened, the game is stuck and unresponsive. Had to alt out. It was a long, boring defense against overwhelming initial probes and I loathe to play it out again. I knew this was a sometimes bug, but I exited anyways. Sheesh.

I might try that mod in future, keen to play the way the devs intended for now. But for now I think this may do the trick. From the forums:
Simgameconstants.json
Under the "Story" section change "ContractDifficultyVariance"
1 = half skull I believe. This will not wreck your game and can be changed mid-save.
..........................................
might need to edit these too in order to get missions as normally at loathed you get none iirc
"LoathedMaxContractDifficulty" : 2,
"HatedMaxContractDifficulty" : 3,
"DislikedMaxContractDifficulty" : 4,
"IndifferentMaxContractDifficulty" : 6,
"LikedMaxContractDifficulty" : 8,
"FriendlyMaxContractDifficulty" : 9,
"HonoredMaxContractDifficulty" : 10,
I tweaked them to allow for 1 skull at loathed rep. And then you can see the increase from there.
mys settings , the key ones
"ContractDifficultyVariance" : 10,
"MaxContractsPerSystem" : 18,
"ContractRenewalPerWeek" : 0.5,
