These days as usual: Torchlight and Tropico 5. I gave Warhammer - Chaosbane a try... and I like it so far.
Death Stranding. Fun game. At leats different.
Almost 8 hours or so into Disco Elysium.

Prose, writing, stat-checking, actual RPG'ing - it's great, so far.
Tales of Legendia... It is not bad, funny lines, voiced songs in-game combat is simple but effective, i think the only Tales of with a main punching & kicking only. Enjoying it with undub on PCSX2, emulation is mostly correct.

koima57: emulation is mostly correct.
Could you elaborate on what you mean by "mostly"? In particular, what innacuracies have you noticed?

(My next use of PCSX2 is probably going to be a replay of either Metal Saga (no relation to the SaGa series) or the Romancing SaGa remake (yes relation to the SaGa series), though I don't know when that will be.

Sure, every game has a Wiki page on the PCSX2 website with their own issues and possible fixes, the emulator is in good state for most popular games but definitely not on par with the Dolphin one, still making progress over years.

For this particular game there are colored lines on the screen borders, no framedrop but frame timing seems often off with stuttering scrolling and lag in controls but probably this "tales of" game own issue, the sky in open field battles has a garbled part and the character portraits are stuck in blury low-res. Recent daily builds gives me random error reading memory card like it's empty or not formatted, but it work after a second or third try.

Testing (well, playing ^^) this with every now and then daily builds and OpenGL hardware emulation, only forced widescreen + max resolution in settings changed from default. There is also Direct3D 11 support but I haven't tried it to comment.

I have yet to find a pleasing way to play through Fatal Frame 3 last time i've tried the image was extremely washed out in brigthness.

However most issues are on per-game basis, should and likely are related to hardware emulation, software mode seems perfect though little options for enhanced quality over native.

Just checked the Romancing SaGa page, and apparently the metacritic score was only 58? It seems that people just don't get complex nonlinear JRPGs with unconventional mechanics. (I do recommend that game, as I liked it better than Dragon Quest 8, and I especially recommend it to WRPG fans who feel that JRPGs are too simple (though said people might be in the market for Unlimited SaGa, which is even less conventional to the point where many have said that adding a tutorial would significantly improve the game; US got a 45 on Metacritic, apparently).)

(Also, seems they've only tested the Japanese version of RS.)

When it comes to Metal Saga, it appears to work well, the one feature missing is HDD emulation (which is optional, but would improve load times).

The one other "game" I'm interested in emulating is Linux for the PS2, but it appears tha it doesn't work yet.

CP77, Nine Witches, Wasteland 3 and Council
The Turing Test, Batman Arkham Asylum and Civ V
GOG: Order of Battle WW2, Suzerain (really impressed with this game, one of the best from 2020), and I'm still working on The I of the Dragon.

Epic: Port Royale 4, Zombie Army 4 Dead War..

Steam: Automobilista, MotoGP20 and Dakar 18.
I playing Morrowind. It's a replay, actually. Played it for the first time circa 2012, modded the heck out of it and didn't very far.

This time I'm doing a no mods, vanilla playthrough (GOG version). I've already finished the main quest, now I'm playing the Tribunal expansion.

Despite it's buggy fame, the game is surprisingly stable. I only got 3 or 4 CTDs during the main quest - I also completed 3 guild quest lines - and all were related to bugged items. The most serious technical problem I've noticed is that some quest related items stay in your inventory despite having been "delivered" to an NPC. This happened a few times, and it causes CTDs. Fortunately, the easy solution is to just manually remove the item from your inventory. There was also one key that apparently was instanced twice in the world and if picked up both "copies" the game would crash.

Of course, there are also some quest related bugs, but honestly far fewer than I expected. I think there were just 2 quests in the entire game that broke and forced me to reload an earlier save to complete.

Without mods and fixes, it's even more important to keep several saves. I pretty much create a new save every time I play it, sometimes more than one if I play for long.

And let me tell you, Morrowind is an absolutely fantastic game despite it's many flaws. The main quest has one of the best storylines of any RPG I have played. They achieve one of the hardest things to do in a videogame story, and that is to keep you guessing about the nature of what's really going on all the way through. In fact, arguably the story is open to interpretation and doesn't have one definitive reading. It's kind of amazing to see a major game deliver this.

A few pro tips for anyone who decides to check this game out:

Guild quests are all early game quests. All of them, including the Dunmer Houses. You will not want to go back to doing this stuff once you are deep into the main quest.

You don't have to do everything in one playthrough. In fact, it's recommended you don't try to do that. Pick the guild quest lines that seems most interesting to you or more adequate for your character and do those.

It's extremely easy to become overleveled in Morrowind, so there is no objective need to min/max and try to get a perfect level up. Play the way you feel it.

The best order to tackle content is this: Find Caius Cosades > Do all the guilds quest lines and side quests you feel like doing > Main quest > Tribunal > Bloodmoon.

Out of curiosity, have you fallen though the floor on this playthrough yet? (Or through a bridge?)

You do know that Hollow Knight does have a few queer characters, right?
