Ghost is great, just finished it last week. I played the PS4 version that I bought last Black Friday, didn’t bother upgrading although if I had just waited I would have bought this deal.

Haven’t seen a lot of particularly juicy deals but I haven’t been looking since I don’t need anything. There are scattered first party Nintendo games down to $30 which is cheap for them - I picked up Animal Crossing to play with my daughter (although she experienced Mario Kart and Smash Bros. this weekend and now wants to play those instead lol). Horizon Forbidden West is down to it’s lowest price ever at $30 but you’ll probably be able to get it for less than that soon.

Currently playing The Surge 2, a janky, sci-fi souls-like whose most distinct feature is you have to dismember enemies to get their armor and weapons as well as to upgrade them.

Played Returnal for the first time

Run 1: Died to some miniboss
Run 2: Find house and house key. Make it to Boss 1.
Run 3: Beat Boss 1, die to some miniboss

How am I doing so far? (Yes had drunk brother constantly shouting advice)

Seems pretty good, took me a while to get through the first level for the first time and then way longer to get through the second level. I gave up on the third boss - runs are too long and honestly didn’t feel like dealing with the level of difficulty anymore.

Yeah you’re doing really good

super deep dive into WOW culture

worst culture i have ever ever seen in gaming

You played league with me for a minute… as a jungle. Wow is worse??

by a factor of at least 10

Ok that’s hyperbole lol.

last week i got raided and told to kill myself for over an hour. it’s worse by a factor of 10 because league doesnt try to function as a community. you dont need to join a guild or socialize to succeed in league. you do in wow and the people you interact with are generally the lowest of scum in society. dont know why this is, I blame blizzard-activision’s culture - a toxic and horrible company culture will be reflected in the player base.

shit like, you can catch a month ban for being afk for a minute and a half in a bg, but spam the n word in chat you MIGHT get a day or two. maybe.

dont get me wrong i have made some friends but 99.9% of the players im not sure i wouldnt step right over them if they were dying in the gutter. it is that bad.

the reason I know this is because ive used the sn “jmakin” in that game since 16 and you wouldnt believe the amount of random “FKN N******” messages I get.

Me when my XCOM 2 soldier misses at 82% shot.

“Goddamnit Jerry. That’s why no one likes you. If this weren’t the end of the world I’d leave your ass in the black site.”

2 minutes later

Jerry hits that last ditch 25% shot

“Fucking A Jerry I always knew you had it in you!”

Dwarf Fortress or Midnight Suns?

90s bros - Master of Magic caught a reboot.

Hope you can pre-load your own magic artifacts, like the original.

Damn I have to add another to the list. That game was amazing. The emulator version didn’t quite work. Mine crashed all the time and I didn’t have the will to go find out how to fix it.

Midnight Suns imo

I’m very curious about Midnight Suns.

I know the drama aspect of the game won’t be the draw but Magik and Nico are some of my favorite characters and the prequel shorts are interesting

Look up the game “Eliza”, which I had no idea was made by Zachtronics until I saw it mentioned in an article.

An online friend of mine developed the game Silicon Zeroes, seems like something you might enjoy.

This game is absurd.
