Ooo thank you, gonna have to check this one out!

Anyone know of an open source self hosted alternative for apps like this?

One of only 3 games I’m interested in from today’s announcements. Really hoping to see this one come through soon!

Serious question: am I the only one who couldn’t figure out what this game was called because of the poor font decision (Specifically the first letters)? I now know only because of this Lemmy post lol. Seems more obvious now but my god I couldn’t figure it out earlier

Escape From Horrorland was the name I was thinking of! It’s got the interactive click videos too but a good number of mini games as well.

I don’t remember a dead hockey player, but it’s very possible I just don’t remember that. I think I remember the bat barn and the coffin scenes the most lol.

The theme park one? Yes I loved that game when I was a kid. Looks cheesy as hell now, lol.

I secretly hope they screw up and brick all the switch 2 devices by uploading a bad update, and are forced to send replacement units, potentially crippling finances of their company.

Doubt it’ll happen, and I’d feel bad for people and kids just wanting to enjoy some Mario and stuff on their weekends (which makes me sorta hope it doesn’t happen at the same time), but… Nintendo needs to be hit very hard for their constant BS.

I was actually looking forward to what this game would have… Then today’s trailer kind of killed it for me, especially with that price tag. Didn’t look scary at all :( I really do hope I’m wrong though.

Last I checked, Populous the beginning still has a small community going on Popre!

I also wouldn’t consider this a secret…

I found years ago that if you block ubi.com and ubisoft.com (if you have a self hosted DNS or a way to block domains on a network), and any other sub domains you might spot, the games work fine. They just take like a full minute to load while they try their best to hit the servers. So yeah I’ve never agreed to the TOS for a few games as a result.

Needles to say, you’ll need these domains unblocked to play multiplayer.

I was seriously just finally starting to become interested in using them a lot more for gaming since I got some success getting it to work on my Linux install. This would make me do a full 180 though…

Hmm I’ll have to check this later as I don’t remember ever running into that problem since my Xbox internal has been full for a while. But I also wonder if that applies to physical copies or not since all my series x games are physical. Unless Xbox does this automatically in the background without user intervention, then I may have not noticed

Weird, I have a regular old 2TB (or maybe it was 1?) western digital plugged into the USB on the back of my series x and it works fine, not sure I understand the need to spend a bunch on something like this. Edit: and before responding about speed… I haven’t noticed much, if any, difference in game performance from installing on the drive or external outside of the initial game loading (startup) time, so not sure if that’s the only benefit to using the expansion slot.

The langolier has caught much attention. Please share its purpose…

I bought “Inside”. Was told it was basically predecessor to Little Nightmares and I’m really loving it so far

I can make large and complicated games, but my 3d art skills are absolute trash. I envy you for having both skills and being able to get this far in one year. Either you’re young with time on your hands, or you’re a genius. Or both…

Good job btw!

I was super excited for this game until I heard about the free cam… Really hoping it’s something that can be turned off. A core piece of the original horror was hearing something coming but not being able to see it.

Agreed! I was just mostly showing my gratitude to the people fighting Sony and my relief that I can get a chance to play, didn’t mean for my message to be taken literal on the “too long” part lol.

That being said, my reasoning for wanting to play it soon is that I’ve got a few friends who are all now interested in picking it up… I’d rather enjoy the time to play with them now then not be able to play it with them in a year when they’ve moved onto something else.

Nice! Guess I can add it back to my wishlist and consider buying it soon! Been holding off on it too long

Damn nice! I left Game Pass Ultimate for the lack of this since I’m a Linux user. This could definitely bring me back lol

I’d do my part in buying games from them more if they didn’t block my home network from their website lol. Yes it’s behind a VPN, and no I’m not turning it off to give up my privacy just to buy something I can get from stores that won’t block me.

I honestly used to buy games from them a lot, but once their website became inaccessible, I sorta forgot about them. Surely I’m not the only one right…?

This gave me a good laugh, absolutely loved this!

Just got flashbacks of Lemmings from my childhood when reading this comment, lol
