Darkest Dungeon (the first)
It’s fun, but particularly punishing now that most available missions are at the hardest difficulty.
Not too sure how long I’ll keep banging my head on certain bosses though.

Dave the Diver
It was interesting, refreshing even, but I don’t see myself playing too much past the the main story.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon
I’m playing on my phone, an everlasting classic in my rotation.
I do have it on Steam, but I mostly play on my phone, I’m just used to using the Wacom pen (Samsung Note) for this game.
A mouse would be fine too, but I usually play this on the couch and not at my desk.


I’ve reinstalled Disco Elysium, but on the Steam Deck this time.
I had started a playground a while back, but I took a break after barely scratching the surface.
I was too burnt out from work at the time to really enjoyed it, so I parked it and kept it for later.

Playing it on the deck also has the benefit of me not still sitting in my home office after working.

Me not remembering much of the beginning of that playthrough is actually pretty immersive in its own way too.


What they mean is they don’t have to do layoffs to please some publisher’s exec, they have the luxury of doing these things for their own greed.

“We don’t have to (but we do anyway)”



I game in a VM with near baremetal performance.
I use PCI passtgrough do pass the whole GPU into the guest.
I don’t use a Desktop Environment in the host though (proxmox)



Also, looots and looots of reading similar to Pentiment

I haven’t played Pentiment but y’all might enjoy Planescape: Torment


Examples:
Hades is a roguelite.
Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a roguelike.



I think the only way I’d ever give it another shot is if there was a mod that deleted most dialogue and story and just skipped from minigame to minigame without context.
Maybe.

I vaguely remember genociding squirrels with a flame thrower…


Unpopular opinion: It Takes Two was overrated.
The gameplay had its moments, but the storyline and characters were just terrible.

I love a good couch co-op, but playing it felt like being forced into role-playing a shitty stereotype of some bickering narcissist parents.
My wife and I couldn’t finish it.

Hey honey, did you wanna play the lazy ass disengaged deadweight tonight? or would you rather play as the workaholic narcissist?
I think we were just about to try and destroy some toy our daughter loves, so she’d cry for our benefit.
I think that’s what the annoying talking sociopath book suggested and that’s like a metaphor for crushing her feelings, or something.

Nah, I’m fine thanks.

yea, me too




I was gonna check my Steam library for the numbers, but the real answer probably is Shattered Pixel Dungeon on my phone.





8k hours is a lot.
That’s like PhD level, into a game I’ve never heard of before now.
Sure, It’s trust their input.


I honestly can’t tell these apart between a $200k one and a $10 one. They’re all just different outputs from the same prompt


Regardless of this bug… this part is completely insane:

As I write this, its most expensive champion is listed at $256,570,000.




Is 2016 old enough now?
The DOOM 2016 soundtrack fucking rips.

Skyrim lead designer Bruce Nesmith explains why Bethesda switching to Unreal may not be the upgrade fans think it would be.

You: [several missing steps] … Biden

WTF does Biden have anything to do with that





There might be more profound reasons for women’s lack of interest in you than money or power.
Exhibit A: this whole comment



I haven’t played TF2 in a while (before f2p?), my understanding is that community servers were mostly fine and how we’re mostly on random casual games?

At least this game has a dedicated server option, contrary to the other TF2.



I’ve been meaning to play something else, but I keep playing Shattered Pixel Dungeon…
I really wanted to give Helldivers 2 a try, but I don’t really feel like installing the rootkit bullshit for a co-op game.

I’ve heard from here about a Deep Rock Galactic autoshooter, might give that a try.



So… the PC in my living room is actually a VM with a dedicated GPU (PCI passthrough).
I wonder what are the odds of this game even running or falsely flagging me…
