If I'm already copying the talkhaus thread combo, might aswell do it properly.
While this thread is a log, the one you're reading right now is where you can write about games you're playing, planning to play or have just beaten. Please make sure to put spoilers into spoiler tags!
I'm currently juggling Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate and Disgaea 5 Complete as two leftovers from 2020. Shiren has been murderfacing me a little with the first real boss battle, and in Disgaea 5 I think I'm making my way towards either the climax of the main story or the halfway point. Hard to tell! Both games are lots of fun, though. Having never played any other games in either series, I have been positively surprised by what they have to offer.

Currently replaying Red Dead Redemption 2, a game I think about constantly. I've also started OMORI, which was a game I almost gave up on being released considering the trailer was 6 years ago. Regardless they really made good use of that time and everything's delightfully crafted so far, be it the lovely surreal graphics or the soundtrack and the characters I really didn't expect to have so much personality. Here's to hoping the quality shall be consistent.

Me? Brawl Stars, Pokémon Gens 3 to 7 (I have emulators and I know how to use they), Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door and Just Dance (1 to 2021) because I'm becoming a couch potato and I don't like being that
Good luck with your playthrough of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door kid! If you want, I'll give you some very handy tips I used Every time I play TTYD. Since I am a Paper Mario master. ^-^"

No need, I already 100% the game once (If I well remember). I'm doing a Any% run (not a speedrun) where I glitch to get anything early (stuck on Prologue, GOOMFREY DOESN'T LEAVE HIS CIRCLE AND GO TO MERLON'S DOOR SO HE PUSHES ME BACK AFTER ENTERING THE DOOR )

Also, unlike a lot of Paper Mario fans, I AM ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE IN SUPER PAPER MARIO! I 100% the game TWICE and may do it again!
Mario games on emulators of course lol. I've been playing them nonstop

I have always neglected to play Terraria, but after getting it last Christmas I can't believe what I was missing out on. The game is not very nice towards new players though, especially when you hit Hardmode and you get cucked by the pirates or one of the mechanical bosses. Learning the hard way is how you get good I guess...

Well, the first 2 sentences seems a bit "Offensive" to those SMBX who'd got the hang of playing Terraria.... Were you hoping for it to have a more forgiving learning & difficulty curve? :\
Well as for me, I'm planning on playing the Nintendo Switch port of SNK's Samurai Shodown NeoGeo collection later today. Because I love fighting games that are SNK hard!

The curve wasn't too bad but I guess Hardmode kinda threw me off guard, especially considering I was handling it pretty well until the pirates. I did expect the game to ramp up the difficulty quite a lot though, but maybe I pressed my luck too hard? Either way, I definitely had a learning experience from that particular situation. Terraria has that "get good" thing going on with it which becomes more of an issue the higher the difficulty rises. I'm no stranger to that kind of gameplay because I mean I played games like Celeste and Touhou which are worse, but this was more or less a case of misjudgment.

I don't play games all that much myself. I spend more time making them than playing them.
However, as far as Mario games go, I did play through Paper Mario 64 several months back, and I'm currently working through Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door again (slowly).
Others may disagree here, but personally, I find the Paper Mario games more fun than the main Mario series. They have much more developed stories and less linear worlds. The levels are also more puzzle-oriented. It's not about repeatedly jumping over obstacles and enemies and dying a hundred times in the process.
Plus, such great characters... Kooper, Bombette, Goombella, Parakarry, Lakilester, Kolorado, that feisty Yoshi kid, and all the rest. They really draw you in. And the series itself has a delightful sense of humor.

I agreed with you on that. And are you doing any challenging run atm?

I'm doing another play-through of TLoU part 2 and recording clips. I did this earlier :^)

No, I've mostly been playing for what you might call creative inspiration, for a project.
Funny thing, though. I somehow glitched the interface while talking to the shopkeeper in Rogueport. I ended up with two speech balloons at the top of the screen, and the extra one stayed there, blank, even after I left the shop. It sounds similar to the Text Storage glitch.

NO. WAY. I'M DOING A PAPER MARIO: THOUSAND YEAR DOOR ANY% (NOT SPEEDRUN) RUN AND I CAN'T EVEN GOOMBELLA BUFFER YET!
Just search Paper Mario: The Thousand Year-Door - Prologue Gate Skip on YouTube and you'll see why I hate Goomfrey now! (MOVE OUTTA THE CIRCLE, GOOMFREY)
Also, I prefer Super Paper Mario over Paper Mario 64 and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year-Door. (I love both gameplay and plot!)

Currently, I have a lot of work with college so I haven't been playing much, but I'm mostly playing Sonic Mania, in part because of the low system requirements and the act that it works flawlessly under Wine, so I can play it on my main laptop. Other than that, I recently built a new PC with an RTX 3060 Ti so I intend to buy some Ray Tracing games, but none of them seem to interest me at all as I'm not really an FPS fan.
Also, I've been "playing" Pixpet.net, which is a HTML-based virtual pet simulator and the spirital successor to DragonAdopters, which I played when I was younger. The reason I have put the gameplay stuff in speech marks is because it is currently in beta and so far only really has resource management; they are supposedly working on a new text-based RPG which I've got to say looks quite interesting and I can't wait for it to come out!

I was playing Mortal KombatII on mah portable Hyperkin SupaBoy(If y'all were wondering, it's a portable (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) created by Hyperkin.) a little while ago. And spoiler alert, I lost 2 of the 4 kontinues up to mah battle with Scorpion(Match #11) and lost the rest of them on Kintaro! And I'm playing on Very Easy* difficulty!
*I'd like to see y'all SMBX members actually TRY to beat MKII, 1cc, on any difficulty freaking HIGHER than Very Easy. Trust me, y'all will have a hard time, like I did.
(not a speedrun) where I glitch to get anything early (stuck on Prologue, GOOMFREY DOESN'T LEAVE HIS CIRCLE AND GO TO MERLON'S DOOR SO HE PUSHES ME BACK AFTER ENTERING THE DOOR 
)
