I turned her into a mind flayer. She seemed fairly happy.

I was thinking that Horizon Forbidden West had fucked up again and set their PC release for the same day as Dragon’s Dogma 2.

But for once it actually worked out in their favour. Dragon’s Dogma 2 has an awful PC port, while HFW is running very well.

Sideshow Bob got a CS degree and now people are looking to hire him as a BartEnder

Once, I had a song in my head that I wasn’t able to remember much about. I posted on the /r/tipofmytongue community, letting them know that all I could remember was “eh, oppah”

After a few incorrect guesses, somebody realized that it was Moby’s “Natural Blues”

I played 68 games. Steam median is 8.

Yeah, while I personally really enjoyed both new games, I can understand not liking the way the gameplay went. However, I think Kratos’ story is a perfect evolution for the character, so I cannot really understand his opinion there

Greatest action RPGs, perhaps. But even that has little bearing on TV show writing, since the important writing aspect of RPGs is the mass of options, not the actual writing itself.

On Ori and the Blind Forest - if you generally enjoy platformers, I would encourage you to give the sequel a shot, Ori and the Will of the Wisps. I played BF years ago and like you, I bounced off it. Then a couple of years back I tried WotW and loved it.

I subsequently went back and retried BF, and I realized that every issue I had with the gameplay had been fixed in the sequel.

The story of the first game only factors into the second game in minor ways, so you’ll be fine if you skip it.

I’m currently on playthrough 4 of Stardew. Love that game

Unfortunately I had to drop Alan Wake after the prologue. The game is probably great, but I think my PC has finally hit a AAA game it just cannot handle. Perhaps I’ll give it another shot once I upgrade.

I absolutely get your criticisms with Ghost of Tsushima. While I personally loved the game when I played it, I do recall commenting that it had the same gameplay loop as I criticize Skyrim for i.e. go here, kill things, repeat, but for me the core combat mechanics were good enough that I didn’t mind. A shame that you weren’t able to enjoy them to the same extent, but very fair critique

And PSPrices for playstation store

Lucas Pope is an incredible game designer. I’m very excited to see what he comes up with next

I actually like cryptocurrency and think it has many good use cases, but this is not one of them. Crypto is designed for trustless, decentralized systems. Steam is centralized, so there’s no need for that trustless economy.

If there were ever a similar library which was open source and run by the people, then potentially crypto would be viable for that system, but for Steam it’s simply unnecessary.

And velocity is 0. Otherwise Johnny 100kmph is technically stopped

Alt text on XKCD posts is the label that displays when you hover over the post on their website, it’s not something that the user has added.

Alt text made me chuckle

Ooh I respecced my Wyll as a monk and he’s proody glorious with those items. I didn’t focus on any min-maxing and he could easily pump out 80 damage in a standard turn
