I wasted my life on Rust in high school. Popping some sweaty nerd’s skull at Launch Site was fun, but then the game became grind2win, zergs had more and more of an advantage, and I got a life.

 

I don't really play anymore - stemmed from lack of time, and then priority switches. But I do remember getting Cities Skylines when it first came out... heard the new one also just dropped. That game was just awesome, especially for a city planning / infrastructure nerd like me. Some of my best memories stem from spending eight hours building an interchange instead of going to class!

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
 

GT7 has been my go-to recently (Snuck Marlboro branding back on the McLaren MP4/4 F1 car and kicked ass with it in the new 900 challenge) Beyond that I'm a big Civ fan and would kill for a new SimCity.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
 

Baldur's Gate 3 just won Game of the Year and it is absurdly well deserving. Might be game of the decade. 

Armored Core 6 was pretty fun too.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is an awesome game if you have yet to play it. Have found that storyline-focused single-player games are much better to come home and wind down with after work; no more raging at sweats on COD or FUT - life's too short. 

 

Haven't really played video games in a long time but when I did Minecraft was probably the one I held in the highest regard.  I remember one time I successfully played the role of an actual banker on some large survival server, go figure.  Nowadays though if I have absolutely nothing better to do I might just play DEFCON.

 

Nobody mentioned 7dtd. What, there isn't anyone who plays it? I think it's the best zombie survival game out there. Even more so with the new 1.0 update coming up. I honestly think it's gonna be pretty neat.

I'm playing it with my friends, and we have a private server. Because, as others might know, when you're playing online games, the official servers are busy and slow. So we rent one from https://7d2d.net/ for $6 a month. We'll keep renting it after the update comes up.
