I feel like I hadn’t heard shit about Notch since Trump’s first term. Is this a bad sign



I always thought some was in Australia, and some in the US. That said, it’s been a long time since I paid attention to TF2 stuff, although I did just reinstall…


playing in Windowed mode

Not sure if monster or better than me


Give the kids Linux! Build a generation of superusers!


You’re welcome!

Vampire Survivors has been absolutely owning my free time for weeks now, it’s so much goddamn fun and there is so much to unlock and use it’s amazing. Just when I thought I learned pretty much everything, I unlocked something and opened up a whole new game’s worth of content.

It’s the ultimate dopamine generator



So in BulletHells you’ve got a ton of shit coming at you that you’ve got to dodge carefully, right?

In BulletHeavens, all that chaos comes from you. You run around as all your attacks go off constantly, getting more extreme as time goes by, and hundreds of enemies get deleted in seconds.


So Vampire Survivors has been dominating me for a month or two now, I really love it. Any recommendations?




Hey, so… it’s been two weeks. The addiction deepens. I’ve got the whole game on two systems now. I’m trying to use the wiki while still finding surprises lol.

This game is the shit and I thank you for driving me to it



I totally missed the “remastered” part and kept going “Why does this look like a ps1 game” lol


Oh man I can’t even imagine how much is squirreled away if you’re still finding stuff like that, damn! Gonna get my money’s worth out of this game for sure

I also finally grabbed Balatro so it seems I’m in full dopamine mode now, see yall in a few months


Oh buddy. Finally sat down to play it with my kid and she was HOOKED, her maniacal laughter at Pentagram was worth every penny. Immediately blew several hours, I’m thinking most of tomorrow too.

The DLC slaps too! That Contra one is super fun. I’m gonna be at this for a while. It’s a really good one to chill in after playing some Mechwarrior, too - one game where you have to consciously use everything at all times, and another where it’s just “LOL BOOM”

I love it.


Man I picked this up and spent ALL DAY yesterday on it, it’s so much fun! I got one character up to level 60+ in the second level (library) yesterday, he was effectively unkillable with Garlic, Runetracer, Magic Wand, etc all going at once.

This game is super satisfying and I absolutely had dreams about it, Tetris-style. I got the DLC for good measure and what I’ve tried is really good! More of the game but with some extra stuff going on. I’m gonna get so many hours out of this! And might need a third controller so I can play with my wife and my kid.



I did Pit of Heresy. Which is debatably the easiest dungeon (Shattered Throne came out earlier, but Pit has Rally flags), but still. I wear the emblem proudly (and have even taught the dungeon to a few newbies). I’ve nearly completed Grasp, and I’ve gotten well into the second boss of Warlord’s solo, but… then I take a long break and play other stuff.

With Prismatic it’s actually much easier to run a good mix of sustain, CC, and DPS in one loadout.


I knew a guy who got real into it and started an “Accidental Cannibal Cult”. It was fun to listen to, if nothing else - I don’t get into those games much. Kinda like hearing EVE Online or Dwarf Fortress stories.


That’s what soloing dungeons in Destiny is like. They’re 3-man activities but can all be done solo if you’ve got the balls. The real trick is a Flawless run, zero deaths. I spent months working on my first Solo Flawless, and once I nailed it, it was as if everything else had gotten easier. Now I can run that dungeon with my eyes closed.

I can respect that, even if I’m not a big Souls player. Set a goal, commit to it, and see it through. It’s good practice for life.


I loved that game and i love the TTRPG. I’d always have to tell people it’s not really a good Shadowrun game, it’s just Counter-Strike with a couple mods. On console. With bots.

Which was, like, the best thing ever to me at the time. I ate that shit UP


I felt like that was the joke

“Why are you smashing a town with two helicopters chained together?”


Huh? I got it last week on PS5. I’ve already got 15hrs in lol


Started it up last night, it’s super cute. Great game for the kids especially but enjoyable for anyone.



There are some legit pros in my local Smash scene, I ain’t going to any of those tournaments lol



How intense is the item/upgrade shop? Like, is it gonna take me months to master or are most upgrades fairly straightforward?



Have fun! Siren’s always my first playthrough and she’s awesome in BL2.


Yeah, once you’re on your second and third playthroughs of New Game + it’s obligatory for everything gig. You’ll want a good slag weapon to swap to constantly. Which is very irritating with only 4 slots, it becomes harder to cover all your bases.


Two (well, three) things later games improved on, for all their faults: slag and the map. 3 removed the former and vastly improved the latter, as well as the split screen menus being actually legible. Slag was really just a damage gate that felt obligatory on everything endgame, and the map became 3D and much easier to parse quickly.

I’d forgotten about those kinds of issues with following some quests, that was definitely irritating too

Still, I love BL2


Oh they’re fantastic. Tiny Tina’s and Torgue’s especially. Oh man, and the Mechromancer and Krieg!

BL2 is one of my all time favorite games, like many others here. It’s nearly perfect.


That bit about “every designer or artist has a bunch of shit ideas and just picks their best 5%” is SO TRUE. Remember this when you’re doing something creative and don’t feel great about it. Just keep doing it.


That’s good to hear! I haven’t followed very closely. Tribes without fairly big teams just wouldn’t be right


I know it’s small teams, like 5v5 or something to that effect. HiRez bombed Tribes: Ascend and SMITE both but idk anything much about this studio.
