Same could be said for any game.

No. No, it really couldn’t.

Just wait till they extend that to his entire family.

Kingdom Come Deliverance

I certainly know everything there is to know about the immigration process on Bug Mars now.

The people who watched Raiders of the Lost Ark in theatres are at least 60 years old now.

Harrison Ford is 82.
Isn’t it about time to put his digital zombie down, retire the franchise and make something new?

Just finished Frog Fractions.
I…what the fuck???
(honestly though, one of the best games I played this year)

What, and I can’t state this clearly enough, the FUCK did I just play?
I wasn’t prepared to have the history of punching explained to me on Mars in a frog platformer.

If Fallout introduced you to open world RPG’s, that means you missed Daggerfall.
Arguably the greatest open world RPG of all time.
That was the game that absolutely, completely blew my mind with its openness, freedom, and scale (none of which were matched by any following TES game).
Well worth blocking the phone line for an entire night and running up a phone bill that’ll get you yelled at by your parents, to download the 140MB installer.

Luckily today, it’s available for free:

NICE! I like free stuff!

I mean, why the fuck not? 😂

This is probably the cheapest thing I bought this month.
(and that includes the purchase of a single bell pepper)

This is the worst example in this thread. You do not want to launch this game unprepared!

Much better to have an established player with enough resources build and equip your character.
If you put too few points in resources, choose the wrong class or race, or get hit by a random nerf, you’ll be locked out of most of the progression.
There’s no second chances, all you get is one save. And when you quit the game, it bricks your system.

Yes. You see the difference?

Just started playing Skyrim for the first time last week.
My character is optimized for ending fights before they begin – by liquifying the opponent’s noggin’ with one swing of her 2-handed warhammer.
Other than that, she travels the world collecting ingredients to cook, brew and smith stuff with.
I suspect that’s not an optimal build, but it’s fun.

Thanks, just bought it.

Thanks, just bought it.

sorry, but online free-to-play disqualifies it for me.

Thanks for the recommendation. Just bought both for $3 lol

seriously? How the fuck are you gonna “go in blind” with those?
That’s like saying “bro, you gotta watch Star Wars without looking it up first”.

Lol, Fear and Hunger is banned in Germany (which usually means it’s good).

BG3 might be a bit above my current PC’s capabilities.
I’ve donated my gaming PC for controlling the lighting at a local non-profit concert venue, so now I only have my laptop to game.

Well, apparently I have!
The only thing I’ve heard about Undertale so far is that it is supposed to be good.

I’ve bought both. The first one feels a lot like what I remember from the old DnD games (Baldurs Gate 1+2, Temple of Elemental Evil, Icewind Dale) and it seems to be very well-designed.
But if it turns into a slog, I’ll definitely try the second part before giving up. I already like the lore a lot.

My Summer Car

I just started Pillars.
Great suggestion, thanks! Also bought Wasteland 2 (with the current sale, I think I bought 10 great old games for $20) and will try that next.

Already played it. So I thank you now.

Just finished it.
9/10, realistic depiction of my dating experience.

I just stumbled upon something called “Doki Doki Literature Club”.
Yes or No?

Thanks for the recommendation! Feel free to rattle off your top 3 2D games, too.

Thanks, edited it into the post.

Not sure what you mean, but I’ve never seen a banking or government machine that was raw-dogging the internet.
They’re behind a firewall, a web filter, a content deconstructor, a hyperlink sandbox and an endpoint protection where processes need to be white-listed to run.

In such a setting, it may be safe to still run Windows 7 for some tasks, but it won’t be for browsing and email.

It is just lovely on any PC that doesn’t connect to the internet.

I wouldn’t type on that without rubber gloves, if I were you.

It’s the last Windows that could look this comfy:

No one dared speak up against it, cause that isn’t a “growth mindset”.

Scaling capacity up and down in real time should be Microsoft’s core business now.

Why hand out bug fixes for free when you can charge full price once more instead?

From the point of view of a customer, the exact failure method is irrelevant.
Microsoft took a lot of money and wasn’t able to deliver what was promised in exchange.

When your game is a streaming service, you better put some cloud experts on the dev team.

If the servers can only handle a certain number of players, then they should only sell a certain number of licenses for the game.
Then, when concurrent player numbers drop over time, they can release more.

But no, they’ll happily take the money from everyone on launch even though their servers can’t handle the load.
