Playing Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous on Core difficulty. What started as a fun and challenging experience transformed, by the end of Act 1, into something I can describe only as "WW1 on middle-earth". My main strategy to cope with the number of enemies was:
Shove your party in one small room across the floor
Send a rogue to open the door of the next "monster closet"
Run all the way back with the monsters on your tail
Make the mages build a trench with terrain spells (Create pit, grease, web...) to slow down the inflow of monsters
Leave the Paladin in full defense mode tanking hits at the entrance while the rest of the party shoots/throws/casts/etc
At least I managed to finish act 1 and get mythic levels. Let's hope things will become a bit more manageable now.
I've been playing some Overwatch 2. I enjoy playing soldier, I like the challenge of playing a basic character with basic abilities against a range of crazy far-out weirdos. Before that I was playing Hades, but I got one really good run where I made it past two bosses and stopped playing because I know I won't get the powerup that got me that far on the next run.

I've been playing Grounded with a friend. It's a survival game and while I really like the presentation, my patience inevitably wears thin when those games open up and you're supposed to just trial-and-error until you figure out what to do next. I'll probably just look at a guide to determine what you're supposed to do next.
I've also been playing lots of Age of Empires 2. I'm trying to make a custom map but I keep scrapping my projects and starting again because I haven't been satisfied with the results so far. I have a concept and I know how to make it work, but actually making a map that's fun to play on is the tough part.

Autos are generally the lamest. TF2's bread and butter is fat chunky burst damage. make sure you have your hitsound + damage numbers on because those're like 20% of the dopamine.
After that, go for fat hits. meatshots do way more damage when you're in their butt, scout can do like 110 at distance, but you really only need to do 90
Soldier and Demoman both do FAT damage. w/ ungodly amounts of movement to make it fat.
You're missing about three. and if you feel that the scattergun isn't accurate, play uncletopia servers, bloom is disabled. Shotguns are incredibly strong in TF2, but you need to actually aim them first, TF doesn't pull it's punches when it comes to skill requirement.
It just feels janky and rough around the edges compared to something like cities skylines. Placing pipelines over roads is a good example of what I'm talking about. I feel like I have to wrangle the game to do what I want.
I'll grant you that for sure. I thought you were talking more about the way you select things in the UI, or their organization. The game simply doesn't explain how you can or should actually manipulate infrastructure (I personally find it works best underground). It certainly is janky, though planning mode alleviates most of the serious issues. At least aggregates aren't such a pain in the peepee to manage now. The jank is probably inherent to the game, but it's something I've learned to live with. Part of the jank issue is that the cowtools you're given to manage it are fairly imprecise, so you simply must learn how to correctly space out constructions.

La-Mulana 2. Ridiculously esoteric puzzle-focused Metroidvania for those who aren't familiar with the series—I've endeavored to beat it without consulting a single guide and although it's been killing me since April I've been making progress. I always get stuck on the dumbest shit too
Other than that I've still been playing TF2 with the boys I've loved screwing around in it since I was 9
Got ghost of tsushima for my birthday so I'm playing that. It's good, the combat does a really good job of making you feel like a badass samurai when you get it right. It's got the "you need to actually block and parry and dodge" mechanics I enjoy in Souls-likes, but without stupidly damage-spongy enemies.
Like it- RPG with xcom combat. What-if story about the alternative events should Julius Ceasar have died young. Good for history-cels. Have decided to play Total War Rome 2 alongside it to fully soak up the vibe.
Rome's better than Viking and Viking was pretty good. Haven't played Conquistador although that's a historical peroid I'm more interested in than the other two.
I bought Baldurs gate because everyone is playing it and says it's good but I don't like it! Horrible combat that's way too slow. I just like talking to people
Also all the characters seem like they're written by ugly people

All of them:
Scout: shotty is really
inaccurate, smg feels
like shit
Pyro: gets boring
after 1-2 games
Soldier: Rocket
moves super
slow, which is not really
nice in a game as fast moving as TF2. Shotty sidearm is shit since shotties in TF2 are shit
Heavy: Really
hate the chaingun, especially in TF2 where
heavy
is not that chunky
Demo: Weapons
feel really
unsatisfying to play. Slow and lobbed.
Medic: Nah.
