I remember picking up some of his books from a second hand store when I was a teen and struggling the first few times I tried to read one. Then one day it clicked for me and I plowwed through the rest of it. So many of this ideas and worlds could have had dozens of books set in the yet he wrote...

Bombs Away

yeah, I had to uninstall it. Way to easy to just 'have one more run...' I did get a 18m hand through lucking out on some great joker combos and figured it would take me weeks if not longer to get better than that. good time to quit. oh yeah, just saw that it has passed 1m sales. Pretty awesome...

that one really hurts :(

Ogre-Dick Scepters were so l33t

Phantoms is the bomb, yo!

Looks like the sequel to this it out now. The first was good but a little undercooked imo. need to rewatch it though since its been a while

Shaping up to be a great year for you @Regime

started playing in death unchained, archery style game and boy is it a good workout on the arms. Decided that will be my goal for VR games, ones that are fun enough while providing a good workout or fitness. trying to find a good shooter one but in the short time might give blade and sorcery a spin.

but also rogue one, the best star wars movie in a long time

Anyone else still watching this? I really liked the ongoing storyline for this season and how it was woven into their monster of the week format. The ending was pretty decent and works well as a series finale if it's the end, but left enough out there for more possibilities. Hope they get...

same, refunded it. Was not the least bit fun playing solo. Might check it out again when it's on sale

Kelce needs to leave the singing to Swift

Well shit.

I just became aware of this little device and I'm pretty intrigued by it. It's a bit too much to spend on a whim atm, though appears to be fantastic value for money. I can only imagine how much better these smart telescopes are going to get. Have you had a chance to play with it some more?

Reminds me a bit of Riftbreaker, which was awesome. If this is half as good it'll be worth a buy

$$$

I finally decide to do a rewatch and it turns out the fan made 4k remaster has been blocked. How shitty :(

So much this. I haven't found a compelling reason to be VRing anything yet. couple of minutes of Beat Sabre and thought it was ok, but not really a killer app. Alyx I haven't touched properly yet, had trouble setting up the controls for it. I'm still happy I got it since a major reason was to...

anyone else bothering with this?

RIP Captain Holt 😢

What a great morning!

Got my first VR recently, the meta quest 2. It's ok, but seems to have far higher learning curve than I'd like. Also, cheap stuff: https://store.steampowered.com/vr/

shawshank redemption. the original Stand. obviously plenty of room for improvement, but the new one showed just had bad it can be.

Spartacus is one of the great shows ever made. Season 1 was so good in particular.

For me, nothing has come close to City Life: Probably too dated now, and not as good a simulation, but a much better game. Has structure and actual sub classes of people that you need to balance. ie blue collars vs yuppies I think, 6 in total. Really wish it had been developed more in terms...

After playing around for a bit, I'm not sure I like their development tree system. Seems like just a finicking and annoying way to upgrade things. seems like you're just going to end up with everything eventually as you play long enough. I would have much preferred it if it was a true tree...

Playing around for a bit and seem mostly fine with settings turned down, then hits 4k ish size, and it ground to a halt. Given how shit this is, it really begs the question of what reason there is to play this over the first one?

https://videogames.si.com/guides/cities-skylines-2-settings-to-increase-performance according to this guy, there's a bug with the Level of Detail setting having too big an impact. So setting it to very low should have a big improvement to performance.

it's coming to gamepass isn't it? Just do a trial of that to see how well it runs

played a few games so far but none to completion. Probably wouldn't recommend at this stage. I think you need to be a fan of stellaris and star trek to really enjoy it. Even though it's an old branch, it's still fundamentally stellaris. If you've never played Stellaris, you'd be better of trying...

Nice! I remember dipping my toe into it in its early days, so glad to hear it's been fleshed out. Will probably give it another try once I grow bored of ST: Infinite. As I said, simplicity is a bit of a higher priority for me atm, but glad there's a rich and complex option out there also

Bought this but haven't had a chance to deep dive into it. This seems to be a reasonable review / overview of the game: The gist I'm getting is that is probably better to pick it up on sale, unless you've a big trekkie fan. I must admit that the dumbing down of mechanics compared to...

I started the first one, and didn't quite grab me in the first couple of chapters, so I moved on. I'll give it another try when I have time but it's not much preferred genre. I think I can see how it's a good example of a murder mystery type story, but it's not quite resonating with me yet.

absolutely! I'm a big proponent of a write specifying what they want / expect from alpha / beta readers. I used to drive my professors nuts since they were all like 'the writing has to stand on it's own'. Bullshit, I say. sure, the final writing yes, but not when you're learning or developing a...
