Is that a new medical condition that is caused by sitting in one place for tens of hours playing PoE2?

Clarification: right wing libertarian

-fall seems to have taken over from -craft

Jimbo would, of course, be amused

So it’s going to be AAAA

Welp, there’s always Elden Ring modding scene for new releases

Correctly done level scaling should be optional. Like in Dark Souls 2, after you defeat a boss of an area, you can use a special consumable to increase the difficulty of that area to NG+. And it’s stackable, too. That was one of DS2 unique mechanics I’m actually sad they didn’t add in DS3 and Elden Ring, because sometimes I don’t want to restart the whole playthrough in NG+.

I mean, fun is subjective. For a lot of people Balatro strikes just the right spot between strategy and randomness, and is very replayable. It’s perfectly okay if it’s not your cup of tea, though.

Balatro getting nominated for two separate GOTYs is wild (in a good sense)

And it’s also made by Sony who have a lot of money

Innovation for the sake of innovation isn’t it either, chief. You gotta strike a balance between new and familiar.

HoloCure is another take on Vampire Survivors genre, but with slightly more complex mechanics (closer to a twin stick shooter) and VTuber themed characters. It’s also completely free on Steam as it’s a fan made project, but that does not detract from its quality in any way.

So, it’s just like traditional sports now

The answer is I enjoy both games that capture my whole attention and games that allow me to watch something in the background. Sometimes I feel like doing the former and sometimes the latter

Hi, I’m plenty of people

I usually open streams on a second monitor while playing, unless the game demands my full undivided attention for extended periods of time. It’s more of a case by case basis for me.

It is ported pretty smoothly. The only downside for me is that there is no cross progression if you played in PC before, but that apparently will be added in the future

Buying Balatro on mobile was the worst best decision I’ve ever made

I second Darkest Dungeon and Hades

It’s an extremely addictive and replayable deck building roguelike with poker theme. Although you don’t need any previous knowledge about poker - all information you need is in the game. It’s very easy to pick up but gets tough at higher difficulties, and it hits that “one more round” urge just right. Oh and it’s also dirt cheap even among other roguelikes.

There’s also a mobile version if you have a lot of extra time but not a lot of access to a PC.

Balatro

Meanwhile Balatro has 5 and I’m voting it for all of them 🤡

It is dangerous indeed, I have lost hours without noticing

oof. If Blizzard does that, they’d have to cut like at least 1/3 of the characters lmao

Oh they’re aware. It’s always projection

Good. Hopefully russia also bans all the games portraying LGBT characters and ethnic minorities, so I can fucking play Overwatch without running into these assholes every other match

“Shared background and culture” more like forcefully homogenised by russian empire and then ussr. Jesus Christ there is no end to the gaslighting

I’ve had random people whisper me to compliment my character’s hat and ask where did I get the cosmetic in Elder Scrolls Online. To be fair, it was a pretty silly hat.

And all of those shops are in a SimCity

Adding Dead Cells to the list. Handles surprisingly well with touchscreen

Safe from the players, of course

HoloCure is also on its way to the update 0.7 with more playable characters and, apparently, a casino

Do you use an RSS reader on mobile as well, by any chance? If so, which would you recommend for Android?

Infinite stamina and aimbot

Except League at least has a forfeit option

I’ve enjoyed shapez 1 a lot, back when it was shapez.io. Definitely giving the sequel a try.

I’ve been sucked into Factorio quite thoroughly, until the automation, optimization and debugging started feeling too much like what I do at work. I mean, I enjoy the process (which is why I got this work in the first place), but doing it in my free time as well is a bit much

Yeah, the OW2 launch was a disaster, but saying the game now is worse than OW1 was is just rose tinted glasses

It’s not that bad. The vocal minority likes to cry

Antichamber really stood out to me even among other puzzle games
