So… when do we get to play Concord? I assume that’s what this is all about.


Apologies - that was not a dig at the validity of the information provided.

That’s a very high number - so I had to either be misunderstanding the number or underestimating the number of employees the bonus was going to.


Im gonna need a fact check on that bonus number.




23% average game completion rate? Or “has been loaded at least once”?





That’s a good chunk of money for some internal moderator to have on hand. (Not that it was an all cash deal.)



https://www.howlongtobeat.com/ has some features to help with this. Will enable you to import games and playtimes from Steam.


Did we have many options then? I vaguely recall Nox.


These Community Camps are special spots that have extra PokeStops and Gyms. But what’s the catch? Well, they are designed to bring local players together.

The feature is part of the Community Ambassador Program, which means there will only be certain players who can create these Campsites. You must apply and eventually get accepted as an Ambassador. There are perks for those who are accepted, you get stuff like free items and support from the game’s team. However, some of the players are saying that it’s hard to get approved, and they are still on the waiting list.

Some trainers seem to be happy with it, they think it would help in making the game more social. While some aren’t really excited for it, they think the developers are trying to “force them to be extroverts.”


Thanks – It’s on the wishlist. I don’t really play for Seasonal content or anything so I can be patient until a heavy discount.


Been a while since I played 2.

I recently played 1 and was surprised how well it played on the Steam Deck. Felt very native and is small enough on disk to leave it in for any dungeon slashing needs.


Had recently picked up Torchlight 3 and been plinking through it on my Steam Deck.

It’s not great - but fits the mindless AARPG genre fine. I’m sure it doesn’t have the depth/mechanics to keep the Exile and Diablo fans happy.



It runs pretty well and everything and I think will scratch the itch.

It’s just a very jarring throwback to the times.

The game was more built around being ran with a controller, so mouse and keyboard is a little janky - I pretty much solely use a keyboard.

Map/travel is very old school. Alt tabbing for maps/routes, boats, etc.

Making a player level to 20, and then immediately starting over to level again for a sub job is an incredibly sadistic thing to ask from an MMO.

I could go on. But it regularly sees 2k+ players online so there must be some subset of people that enjoy it.


I can’t in good conscience recommend this to an internet stranger - because the experience is quite brutal.

But if you do in fact hate yourself - you might look into https://horizonxi.com/





Around a quarter of the way through HL3 you’ll be left with cliffhanger and ending screen telling you it will be continued in episode 2.






I don’t see it mentioned elsewhere - but if we’re going down the CRPG route and enjoying it I’d recommend to others Divinity Original Sin 1&2.

I’d also recommend Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition. But it’s age might scare some people away – so I typically don’t lead with that.


I added Cyberpunk to the cart. We’ll see if I actually purchase it.


I didn’t make it too far through but it kinda felt like it was a “save scum stealth” game.

Im assuming Im wrong and just didn’t give it long enough. But, good for them for getting a third game through.




Have never played. But love the current state of NWN1. This news sounds lovely.

Edit: Glancing through the NWN Developer Chat Discord - this looks like it might be going through them. So… slightly more skeptical.





Enjoying it. Very much captures the early EQ vibe.

Exploring and checking out what’s around a corner and considering every mob to not get stomped.

Running around a city interacting and looking for quests.

Drive by buffs or strangers messaging you to give hand me downs.

Finding a group isn’t instant - so have some side projects to work on like crafting or questing. Or take initiative and start messaging strangers to start one.


The boring answer is going to be an Xbox controller – as that’s what most PC games and Steam have mappings for. I assume those play nice with Linux?


I broke the patience protocol and grabbed Pantheon in early access. $40 in leu of ~2 years of monthly subs seemed like a bargain.
