Helldivers 2. It's the first online game I've played in like a decade. It's fun.

Helldivers 2 (PC/PS5, I play on PS5) and Splatoon 3 (Switch), primarily. Also periodically Rocket League (All, I play on PS5 and, though rarely, Switch).
I just got Helldivers II today, it's living up to the hype, lots of fun.
I got a couple of friends into Baldurs Gate 3 and we've had a regular weekly game night going for over a month now it's been super fun
Rocket league is my first and only online competitive love. When I went through my recent drama I lost about 6 months of being able to play it and I'm just now back to diamond 3 in doubles. I used to be a champ 
Just Helldivers right now. Played a ton of the first one back in the day (and Magicka before that) so it's exciting to see how successful this game as been.
PUBG honestly, but only because I made a couple good friends on there who are about 100-fold more fun to play with than the general public. As always, my tip for online multiplayer games is to proactively make friends with the tolerable teammates.
No Man's Sky! Currently recovering from surgery though so can't play, wish I had a steam deck, can't wait to check out that hexbear place there
awesome, we'd love to have you there!
Eve online, a truly horrific game.
Way too much iracing.
For Honor
i've been really into elder scrolls online lately :]
GTA:SA multi player is all i play really but i havent played that in a month or longer, been too busy w work. Occasionally i play Eve Echoes if im in the bathroom but not often.
Im not a g*mer in the slightest.
i've seen some "collect every vehicle" MTA races periodically but if you join one someday, you know, don't tell us.

Starcraft: Brood war
You love to see it.
One time I had a housemate who got into Brood War. I knew the game well and so I went zerg 1v1 against them one time. They were either terran or protoss, can't remember.
I feigned an abortive zergling rush which they beat back easily enough but not so easily that it felt unearned and, in the meantime, I went all-in on building bases in virtually every corner of the map. I had an immense economic base that my unit production couldn't keep up with.
They took a swing at my first base and had it on the ropes but I clawed it back and then on the recovery I steamrolled the base or two they had built. They thought it was a close game right up until they saw the map and realised that I had the whole damn thing stitched up.
Good times. They lost interest in playing against me tho lol.
yeah, it's amazing how complex and interesting Brood War is. I still love playing and watching/studying the game.
I wish SC2 could have lived up to it, but they took a huge chunk of strategic depth out of the game by making it so easy to control large armies and have everything move around smoothly. And all the campaign stuff feels like lame Marvel / main-stream young adult junk to me. I feel like it could have been absolutely amazing if it wasn't designed by capitalists.
I never even looked at SC2 tbh.
I imagine that this was the era of decline for Blizzard though. I recently heard that they completely fumbled the remake of Warcraft 3. How they could manage to do that idk but it's pretty astonishing.
One day we'll have socialist gaming studios who put out absolutely bangers consistently.
Street fighter vi. The game has basically consumed my life. I'm currently wrapping up a weekend at a tournament.
Street Fighter 6, Dead by Daylight, and hell divers 2 are all fire. Add me comrades @WefailedThepoor
Played a bunch of GW2 recently (100% map completion in the main game and full mastery of one crafting discipline, took ~100 hours) but then burnt out.
Been doing my dailies in Genshin again and sort of breaking my "save the Primos for hot guys" rule for Arlecchino, to no avail.
Someone mentioned BDO works eith Proton now, so I might need to do some shitty-HDR grinding.
Terraria and Titanfall 2
? how is this fedposting?
haha, yes, now that the U.S. state department knows what online game PoopShitterMarxFan69 plays the most, we will collapse the online left! HAHAHA!!!
i think they're just joshin'. i haven't played smite but i played a ton of heroes of the storm the first couple years it was out. this last year I've been playing ghosts of tabor pretty much exclusively
Counter Strike, TF2, War Thunder. My usual 3

Sometimes I play tetris on the tetris website :)

- Street fighter 3rd strike

I've kept going back to Warframe for a decade now, so I'd generally recommend trying it. All the bits people actually play are PVE, and the community's generally pretty helpful. It does require heavy use of the wiki late game though.
Hearthstone battlegrounds is the only game I have time for these days, and thankfully it hadn't gone to total shit yet.
We're several months into dominions. I'm in too many games, but I should lose some soon I typically play for a few months starting in the winter, but I might stick with it this year for longer. It's just really fun watching your little guys fight. Also as I'm finally starting to get good at the game after years of playing it, I'm having a lot of fun trying out different builds and really getting into the nitty-gritty of scripting battles.
I started playing Let It Die again
Unrailed! And occasionally Valheim
EVE-O (just liquidated assets for speculation items in anticipation of a busy IRL time)
DOTA 2 (the less said about it the better)
Path of Exile (click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click)
I don't play games. I just plow.
To make the joke work I'd have to play some sort of online farming sim, and I don't even know if there is such a game. I play Medieval Dynasty sometimes, which has farming in it, and it has a co-op mode, so it's an online game. See, perfect joke.
