Brings back trauma of playing Ninja Gaiden (I'm rather proud I managed to beat it). The ten-foot-tall ninja surrounded by floating magic swords? I can take him. That #$&@ing bird? All of my hate!

Recently I have been playing timberborn, Its like a more user friendly version of dwarf fortress with beavers instead of dwarves.
The game features some of the best water simulation I've seen in a videogame and I haven't had any performance issues even with populations over 100. That is pretty impressive as far as programming goes.

I do not recommend Hot Wheels Unleashed
What's the issue with it?

Great question!
So let me hit some primary points:
1) Price: $50 is too much. $30 for seasons passes is laughable.
2) Lootboxes: The in-game economy revolves around lootboxes. Given the high price of the DLC, I expect that the difficulty in earning in-game vehicles is either (a) to try and get people to buy expensive seasons passes / future racing passes or (b) to prepare people for the eventual introduction of MTX.
3) Lack of content: The track builder is cool. Overall, however, this game is pretty light on content compared to other arcade racers.
4) Some problems with game balance: On Easy, this game is the easiest arcade racer I've ever played; on normal, its one of the hardest. That's a pretty big gap, especially considering there are two other difficulties above normal.
5) Arguably too realistic physics. On Normal, going off the track, which is pretty easy to do, is an instant death sentence. If I wanted realistic physics, I'd be playing Dirt or F1, not Hot Wheels.

Finished Assassins Creed Origins.
Level 55, finished the main quest, and both main DLC quests. 38/67 achievements.
Its a decent game.

Been playing World of Warships a lot recently, but I feel the latest patch has really broken the matchmaking. There's a chance of facing opponents two tiers above you, but it used to be in smaller numbers and could often be equal or one tier above.
I've had multiple games where half the enemy team were two tiers above, and it makes the grind increasingly frustrating.
I've also been playing the original Borderlands with Ash's Boomstick on co-op.

Playing Far Cry 6. Did a few Special Operations. Quickly realized that I could do a little exploit to get around faster; just shoot a round, reload, and use the bonus from the basic speed-enhancing shoes to increase sprint speed while reloading. I did the whole damn Mesozoic Park mission solo in 11 minutes, lol.
WoWS has always done that

I know it's always done that to an extent, but the matchmaking seems even worse right now.
Probably difficulty

Felt depressed, so I started to play Clannad.
Probably not a good solution in the long run, but its cheerful so far!

Did you experience any stuttering when playing Tokyo Xanadu on PC?
Occasionally I get pretty bad stuttering that renders the game nearly unplayable for a minute or two before it stops.

I played it 3 years ago and did not have any major technical problems from what I can recall. Could be that a new patch broke the game.

Well, I finished Ending A of Nier Replicant.
Four more endings to go.
And DLSS support just launched for Rise of the Tomb Raider. Which is a good thing. We're getting to the point that I consider a lack of DLSS support to be a deal breaker when considering buying some new titles, and getting DLSS support for old titles is nice.

Deep learning super sampling.
It basically massively increases GPU efficiency.
I went from being able to play Rise of the Tomb Raider at medium-high settings at 1080p to being able to play it at Max Settings 4K, with my GPU actually being less stressed.
Ohhhh okay
