Need to enter torpor to actually see this game come out huh?


I think it’s because life sim games are hard to make, and up until recently, no one thought it was worth the effort to make one, when most people would just stick to The Sims. It probably helps that TS4 has been out for so long, and TS5 or whatever they want to call their next one, seems far away.


Practically none really, but there are competitors coming out at least, primarily this and Paralives, probably because people are sick of EA’s shit.




Other than optimisation, I’m also worried about the gameplay. It’s one thing to have a good character creator and builder, but what about actually playing the game?







Twitch does this quite often, I don’t know why they get called bans either. Nonpermanent “bans” are a thing, but in the case of a widely used service like Twitch I think it’d make more sense to call them suspensions like you said.




Hate to think what the 60 launch is going to be like, jesus. Paying increasingly more for decreasing quality.


Unless you’re specifically directing it toward someone who’s sensitive to it, swearing generally doesn’t harm anyone or make them sad. Whether it’s a good, or bad thing, that swearing has been normalised, the fact is that it has been, at least on the internet.


I don’t care for the quality of either controller tbh. The haptic feedback for the PS5 controller is nice, but until official controllers start using HE sticks, they’re pretty much worthless to me.



Wilds doesn’t run particularly well even on desktops, never mind decks.


The first game is a blast with friends, so I hope the sequel follows suit.


This is the problem with people who have massive audiences, they need to verify what they claim otherwise they can do a lot of harm to people.


I used to manually mod like this, but for a few years now I’ve pretty much just been using mod lists/packs.

For Bethesda RPGs (TES/Fallout), and a couple other games, you can use Wabbajack to auto-install a bunch of different lists, some of which have thousands of mods.

For other games you can usually use Vortex and Nexus collections, or in the case of Steam workshop, workshop collections.

If you want a good mod list for BG3, there’s Listonomicon.


If I know I’d be buying day 1 anyway, yes I’ll preorder. I know I’ll be playing Avowed day one because it looks like my cup of tea, and I’ll be playing Wilds day one because I have a ton of friends who want to play it together.


You’ve spent like a sixth of the time since release playing it? Damn. What’s your playtime across all the games?



If the biggest game of the decade charges $100, every triple A game will charge the same, and other games will probably be more expensive as well, and in most cases it’ll be more money for the same steadily decreasing quality, at least in the triple A market.


At least it’s a good sign for their next game, though hopefully Avowed is good as well.


Centre-aligned taskbars are nice though :(





If they do it, it would unfortunately still sell like hotcakes, being one of the most anticipated games of the past decade.



Yeah, Starsector is probably my favourite lesser known game. There’s a mod/tool called “Mikohime Java 24” that’s supposed to help a lot with the performance, but I haven’t had a chance to test it myself. Would be great to see another quest line, if I had the skills I’d love to make a mod myself lol.


Perhaps Starsector? It’s a top-down sandbox rpg. I personally find the lore and world-building interesting. Has great mechanics, and you can really get into the nitty-gritty when it comes to ship and fleet builds, you can basically do anything you want, whether you want to do solo stuff or form an empire. It also has a fantastic modding community.

At least a year after releasing it on console, in an attempt to get players to buy the console for the sequels. I think there’s at least a small chance they might start releasing them sooner but we’ll have to see.
