Since I'm kinda in a gaming funk (just too tired) I've decided to try out a new Minecraft modpack instead. At the moment I'm trying to figure out how SkyFactory 4 works, seems cool so far. A skyblock-style modpack but without Ex Nihilo, means likely no sieving for resources. That's a nice change as Ex Nihilo tends to become exceedingly grindy. Nice if you can automate it, but it's still grindy.
At the map generation menu there were a gajillion different map styles possible, some of which made me laugh. Like, a tree on a block of dirt, in the middle of a hollow glass cube... surrounded by lava. Or even ender fluid, yeah, good luck expanding your base! :D
For now I've gone with the SkyFactory Tutorial map, for a bit an easier start while I'm figuring things out. I've noticed that each map has the option for prestige unlocking, which is interesting. Haven't seen meta-progressing in Minecraft like this before, since prestige is unlocked globally for every map that's got prestige enabled. The prestige rewards definitely are interesting as they enable getting a Hopper Bonsai (useful!) or even Ore Excavation (definitely useful!). I'll just have to figure out first how to gain prestige points.
Hopefully going to have a relaxing Saturday afternoon with this.

Dunno if you have steam, but have you checked out SplitGate,?
@lucifargundam I've taken a peek at it but FPS-games aren't for me. I'm not really one for fast paced action games, least of all FPS and PvP.
@trinsec
How about The Talos Principle or Terrorhedron? Refunct? Not The Robots?
@trinsec
I get the 'ill get back to it later' feeling. I have my fair share.
Refunct is parkour yes- but not in the assassin's Creed way. It's a puzzle game where you have to reach checkpoints by overcoming obstacles in a number of ways. Achievements include time elapse and with minimal surface contact.
Not the robots is cute in surface concept- hard in gameplay. Again, another puzzle game that gets harder over time and with harder achievements imo.
