This one will be “The Original Xbox.”

Jackbox Survey Scramble

Basically like Jackbox Family Feud. Was a really fun all-ages activity over the holidays.

Assetto Corsa (in VR). Civilization was mostly my ex-wife. eFootball PES is kind of a weird one, but it has really great mods that have now been spun off into a totally free singleplayer game called SP Football Life.

Not really into MMORPGs, but I’ve been trying The Finals and it’s pretty cool. Like the destruction of Battlefield mixed with the movement of Apex Legends and maybe a light touch of Rainbow Six: Siege or COD. Definitely worth the $0.

Look at Hellish Quart on Steam, if you haven’t. Really cool and fun, like a spiritual successor to Bushido Blade based in Eastern Europe. Updated with impressive regularity.

Pretty sus.

RDR 2 is about the most-detailed and physical-feeling combat system I know of (limb targeting, visible body damage and working guns, ragdoll-type physics, environmental interactions like falling off ledges/into deep mud or snow, etc…)

BeamNG is the most-impressive physics showcase that comes to mind off-hand. It’s really incredible.

It looks so fresh and cool. It feels like a throwback to old, fun, dumb videogames of the past. Like this could totally be a Dreamcast 5 launch title.

Sony boss asks customers to push back harder.

I hope this doesn’t affect my folders full of every Sega game rom ever.

Hadn’t heard of this one, thanks for the heads-up. It looks up my alley.

I feel like I’m biased and it’s my answer for everything, but RDR2. No other game environment has come close, for me. Screenshot from one moody moment I captured:

Have you played RDR2? It’s open-world, the world is stunning (you can easily ignore the stories and just take in the nature), and the game revolves around your camp/gang, which you regularly return to and interact/check-in with, in addition to accompanying them on missions at times.

Just don’t post about your visit to YouTube.

Are there any notable features that make it stand out from Stardew or others?

The whole article reads like satire.

2nd one is cuter and funnier

That haptic feedback on the PS5 controller is a rare feature that actually adds something to a controller. If there are third-party options with the haptics, I’d love to know about them, because they kind of spoil you once you get used to them.

Is this bean magnate Peter Molyneux!? He makes games now?

If they realize they can sell individual jokers, etc…at $.99 a pop as DLC, the developer is about to be a billionaire and create so many new sick people in the world.

Jack Black is officially jumping the shark.

The guided part does take a bit to get through, but it sets you free pretty soon after you’re out of the snow.

It’s very much worth it, in my opinion. It continues to ruin many other games for me.

There are only a few companies that could even hope to take on Valve, at this stage. The likes of EA and others. But by definition, their company culture means they’ll never be able to take on Valve.

Someone else made a comment about what will happen when Gabe steps down and I suddenly realize what a short-term golden age we’re likely living in, even with all the bullshit.

NFL 2K. NFL 2K5 was so good and scared EA so much, it led to the EA/NFL exclusivity deal and the death of the entire football game genre for the last few decades now.

Splinter Cell, specifically picking up where Chaos Theory left off. Use it to showcase Unreal Engine 5 lighting and make it a proper, spectacular stealth game again with Spies v. Mercs multiplayer.

That building system looks pretty excellent.

What game is motion-capping realistic rape scenes? Jesus Christ.

I guess it makes sense, seeing as they’ve perfected the desktop experience.

I still feel like RDR2 spoiled a lot of other games for me. Still the only launch day I ever took off work.

NICE, which Windows are you using bro? I’m running 10 with a stock kernel and GUI, as well as a bunch of custom modifications, including a custom desktop*.

Cousin, hello! Want to play Deadlock!? We play like two cousins in American sitcom!

Sorry, I only date people with Deadlock invitations to share.

To fix the bug bites.

I’m sorry.

The most-satisfying part is when you stumble onto the right Joker combination and realize, “Oh snap, I think this is the one.”

Because they discovered Balatro.

Sounds great, but could definitely live without the Duke Nukem-style “funny” lines.

That’s so cool. Makes it feel like they’re still having fun with it.

Day 1 of posting comment replies to the comments I’ve been reading until I forget to post a reply.

A Crazy Taxi X Uber/Lyft skin pack would unironically probably sell well.

Matchbox 20 is just like Matchbox 19, 18, etc… Just glorified roster updates.
