Stupid games and win stupid prizes.

picked up No Man’s Sky the other week at 50% off and really enjoying it

I started Red Faction Guerrilla (Steam Edition) a couple of weeks ago. Solid game from 2009. Though the game world does feel a bit empty.

I have seen credits on that game probably three times since it’s launch. Anytime they release it on a new platform I instinctively snap it up.

I do agree that the world feels pretty empty, but it is Mars in their defense. The gameplay loop is so good though. And sometimes there’s no better feeling than grabbing a sledgehammer and leveling a building.

Hopefully you’re able to make it through! There’s a little bit of variety introduced to the environment around the half to three quarter mark.

Scored the Ratchet & Clank Collection for PS3 on Ebay this week, cannot wait to play

Is it patience if I’ve already played it? The wife and I are running through metal gear solid 3 after beating 2. PS3 emulator is snappy and the metal gear HD collection is pretty good!

Maybe metal gear solid peace walker can count as patient, as I haven’t played that yet.

PS3 emulator is snappy

RPCS3 is a great emulator! They can be a pain to set up or tweak for performance but that one in particular is a very smooth experience.

Having some trouble getting peace walker going on the emulator. Not a lot of issues to find while searching either. Bazzite on either AMD or Intel with Nvidia GPUs.

So in the meantime, we have dusted off the PS3 to use my mgs4 disc hah!

Got the first Moving Out game on supersale and my kids are loving it. I’m always on the lookout for coup coöp games to play with them.

Playing through ff7 rebirth and was trying to finish a dragon age origins play through I’ve had going on since 2022. I’ve had rebirth since launch but I’ve only really had a chance to play it from last week as I’ve been ill most of the year until recently. Also have dragons dogma 2 which I haven’t played much for the same reason.

Going to keep building my factorio factory. Almost done with industrial revolution 3. Should be done in another 40 hours or so…

After watching the new dune movie I got inspired to play through a campaign on Dune: Spice Wars. So probably that!

I’ve been really enjoying my current Pathfinder:Kingmaker run going for the true ending.

Perhaps not very patient gamer, but I think I’ll give Another Crab’s Treasure a go.

It’s very hard for me to feel motivated to play new games nowadays, but that one did spike my interest - seems more fun than Elden Ring tbh, which kinda feels like a generic souls-like - and it’s got great reviews and isn’t too expensive, so I think I’ll try it out.

I think I should pick up a city builder, but not decided between Skylines 2, Manor Lords, or ???

Reviews for Skylines 2 are Mixed, which suggests you should play Manor Lords (Very Positive).

i like it but i feel it still needs a bit more time.

workers and resources is a nice game in this general style.

I watched a quick trailer for Workers and Resources and the part focusing on a bus driving made me think of a head-in-the-clouds fantasy cool thing:

a city builder game. Click on a truck driving through to switch to a driving sim (think American/Euro Truck Simulator), on a train to a train sim, on a bus to a bus sim… Click on a person walking on the street and you get a The Sims-like interface and get the ability to switch into that game mode. And even though this is probably highly unrealistic and already too much, so why am I even thinking about scope, you could limit scope by locking to just this one city. Any vehicle routes out of the city have the vehicle disappear when you get to the city border. Sims already limited itself to one town/city, do that the same way.

After reading a few reviews for W&R apparently it scratches both a Transport Tycoon-type itch and regular city builder itches, so sort of like my above idea—a few games in one. Apparently it can be micromanagey, which appeals to me when I’m in a certain kind of mood.

simcity 4 had some limited click on a car to control it mechanics with the rush hour expansion

you could sorta follow individual sims too, it was cool.

Cities Skylines 1

Better than 2

especially now that all dlc is out and we have a complete and mature game

maybe 2 will be this good in another 6 years

Satisfactory on the Steam Deck

I’m curious how the latest version runs. I haven’t tried it since the Unreal Engine 5 update. Kinda waiting to jump back in at the 1.0 release.

I didn’t change any additional settings since I last played a few updates ago. Seems to run pretty good. Though I apologize I don’t have what I’ve adjusted handy to share.
