    Windrose (PC Pirate Survival Game)

    So, feel free to call me a curmudgeonly asshole here, but I never touched the sliders. Remember, the game has been out a LONG time now, and was groundbreaking at release. I played it then, it was revolutionary for the genre and felt great. I went back, nostalgia in my eyes of remembering how...

    Windrose (PC Pirate Survival Game)

    I played it on release. I tried going back after they added Ashlands and... it is no longer enjoyable to me? I think the genre passed Valheim by over the years they have been dragging this out. Game seems a bit too clunky and grindy for me nowadays in comparison to some of the other games I...

    Xenonauts - Legit remake of the original XCom

    I never played the original, but I bought this when it was on sale at release and did a play-through. It is competent. Made me retry Phoenix Point after beating it.... and I still cannot force myself to finish that game. Such wasted potential.

    Windrose (PC Pirate Survival Game)

    Subnautica is a goddamn masterpiece. It is very much a survival game but different because it is so story driven (and single player only). It is one of the few games where I wish I could unlearn the plot so I could do another play through. The mechanics are good survival genre fair, paired...

    Street Fighter (2026)

    Holy fuck this looks amazing for all the wrong reasons (just like the original). Getting good Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter movies in the same year? Inconceivable.

    It has been confirmed to be a selector banner.

    Arknights Endfield

    I would love if I could pick, because I have P1 Pog/Ardelia and don't have either of the other 2, but I guess we will find out.

    Arknights Endfield

    They are having a special re-run banner for Leva and Gil during the last week of this patch. Good for me, I didn't join until 2 weeks before 1.1, so I never had a chance to get either of them. And my Rossi sucks without Gil.

    They changed it so you now don't lose Contribution from stealing unless you get caught. Excellent.

    Crimson Desert

    I have stopped at entering Scholastone in Chapter 3. At this point the camp is ready to go and you can start expanding it independent of the story. Also it seems a lot of the faction quests (if not all) have/are opening up for Hernand. I finished Alfonso and Roberts and am doing the Great...

    One Piece

    Never read the manga or watched the anime (always thought it looked too zany for me), but this show hit the right spot. Just binged both S1 and S2, it has been excellent. That said, One Piece is an enormous story, and I don't know how you could hope to cover it all in live action before...

    Mewgenics

    Just finished Act 2 with all 14 classes (if you include Collar-less as a class) and got their unlocks. Now for Act 3. Haven't tried Hard Mode yet, but it seems the only unlocks come when you beat all 4 zones, and you can get the rewards for all difficulties if you just beat the highest one...

    Mewgenics

    You have no idea.... I just opened up Act 3, have all but 2* classes (1 isn't a full class per se). Act 2 gets a bit easier the more you run it. I still haven't really buckled down and worked on breeding an army of super cats, but I do have a regular breeding pool of eyebrow mutations (+1...

    Mewgenics

    The duality of roguelites: I fail a run embarrassingly, getting wiped on the first Hard battle in the Alley. Run after that, I beat the secret boss of Act 1 at full health, which apparently unlocks class specific armor. Mind blown yet again by the amount of content hidden in this game.

    Mewgenics

    Reporting back in: If you can get passed the puerile humor, this game is an absolute classic. I turned off the Humping Animations because that is a ridiculous setting to begin with. The depth of the systems is incredible, and I am constantly finding new things. Like... set bonuses, who knew...

    Mewgenics

    I have never been so confused by a game in my life. After watching a Let's Play, the mechanics are absolutely phenomenal. Yet simultaneously, I have never been put off so much by the aesthetic of a game before. Like... I am a cat lover (obviously); but having to watch cats fuck, poop, become...

    The Game Awards 2020

    I just told my brother something to that effect (he has been at Blizzard for over a decade on WoW). It is sad when D4 comes across as campy, and Larian, who was known for silliness with the Original Sins games, has the actual creepy and fucked up looking game with Divinity.

    The Game Awards 2020

    The original Street Fighter tried to play it straight(ish?) and wound up being one of the best camp-fests ever. Or maybe that was just Raul Julia trying to treat it like a real movie while everyone else got high and did dumb shit. This one looks like they intentionally went full camp, aiming...

    Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era

    Game is good from what I have played. Much closer to 3 and 5, with a few extra bells and whistles. 4,6,7 were abominations.

    *warning* Do not accept DMs/click links from Hatorade on Steam until he verifies he still controls the account

    I had almost fallen for this exact same scam a year or so ago, before I had the 2FA. But then I saw it come from Hatorade and I was all "Et tu Brute?", and I came here to see if anyone else had reported it. Lo and behold, here we all are.

    Avatar 3 (2025)

    Story is consistently ass in these. That said, both of these are some of the few movies that I hated when the movie ended, not because of the story or characters, but because I wanted to experience more of the world. Kind of that old feeling exploring a new MMO world used to give before we all...

    KPop Demon Hunters (2025)

    I have watched this like 6 times since I showed it to my daughters on Sunday. They keep playing it back to back. Very enjoyable movie, songs are catchy (pop songs, duh). Girls also love the tiger (apparently production named it Derpy). Good animation too.

    The Alters

    Game is amazing so far (only in Act 1) but 11 Bit puts out great stuff (This War of Mine, Frostpunk). Plan on doing a couple run throughs.

    It is riffing on ASMR and is frankly a combination of stupid, funny and ridiculous. Still dinosaurs go brrrr.

    Last Epoch

    My main is a Cold Avalanche Shaman, but I just rolled up a Forge Guard. Got him to almost 30 and he is just mulching things. This may be the twink with a bunch of Uniques effect, but the swarm of flaming swords and axes plus Multistrike and Ward on Hit feels great. I am sure this will fall off...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    This is actually a step up for Larian! It is usually only Act 1 that is polished and the rest feels like a different game. This time they only made three acts and polished two of them. See, Progress!

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    This is just one of the things this game does so well. A lot of complaints came out of Early Access about how all of your initial companions were dicks who hated you (Shadowheart, Astarion and Lae'zel). But their backstory, progression stories and character development really turn them around...

    Yes, that is what burrows are for. I took Gas Form on my MC Sorc just to test it. Thus far all of the ones I have gone through have other entrances accessible through normal means.

    Darkest Dungeon 2 (Epic store for early access - 1.0 on other platforms as well)

    You need to preferably have a taunter. If you don't, you need to bonk the little eyes on the head, so that when they respawn, they hopefully perform Gaze on your tank. You want to stack all of the debuffs on your tank if at all possible, because the big boss just spams Limerence repeatedly. I...
