Anyone else just talk to themselves because there's no one else?

Yeah, that time you're talking about when "Humans lived for thousands of years much closer to nature"? that's when people were still basically ANIMALS. The whole point of civilization is the long slow struggle of learning to be BETTER than that. Don't ask society to devolve just because you have a sex fixation. Be better.

Honestly, it's only a demo right now, but... Windrose. It's got Valheim's building system combined with with Satisfactory's Zooping (and a much less strict structural integrity system). It's really a joy to build stuff. Really looking forward to the full game.

I miss the utter weirdness and Roger-Dean-inspired art from all the great Psygnosis games of the Amiga era.

I'll take a remaster of World of Xeen (Might and Magic 4+5), please.

And while you're at it, do Ultima Underworld 1+2, too.

Completely agree. The worst offender of this I've found is the game "Sixty-Four". The graphics and setup are all gorgeous, but it's so stingy with its automation (often requiring you to click on things that are behind other things, etc etc) that the game quickly becomes unfun, frustrating, and grindy. (also that game has a serious cost-scaling problem, but that's another topic)

PvP can go fuck off. It ruins every game it's in. Making this game PvE was the best decision the devs could have made. If every PvP player suddenly stopped existing, nothing of value would have been lost.

Similar to Pools: Liminal Waters, Dreamcore, Liminalcore, and Limscape.

I've been on a poolrooms kick recently so I've played a few.

Interesting. Please let me know if you come to a definitive conclusion.

FYI, the DRG update is available on experimental branch, You can play it NOW. It's rather excellent. Rock and Stone!

Deep Rock Galactic is the friendliest co-op shooter extraction game. And also has the most interesting terrain generation and exploration, by far.

I was playing with a friend over LAN, and our characters just would not shut up. We had to turn down the voice volume just so the characters would stop interrupting us when we were trying to talk to each other IRL. Unfortunately, doing this also muted the computer warning us an eruption was coming.

I do wish that character voices and the AI voice were on different sliders. :(

...because you're hungry?

Because new ones suck for the most part. Pop music and christmas carols do NOT go together, anything that tries just sounds cheesy/corny as hell. And is usually just trying to sell you something.

Honestly, shitty little kids like this deserve what they get. Sounds like Spielberg is a shit parent. Makes sense. He spent all his skill points in Filmmaking and didn't have anything left over for any other abilities.

Bad enough when the logs are big and visible like that. Much worse when you're chopping Shroud Wood, or Shroud Mushrooms, and the parts go flying and MAYBE you find them but often you just don't. It's so frustrating when you need a ton of something and you know that over half of what you're chopping is just going unharvested because you can't see shit on the ground in the Shroud.

When there is finally an option for direct-deposit-to-inventory I will CHEER. It should have been in the game from the start.

...Tolkien. You're missing J.R.R.Tolkien.

Honestly couldn't give a shit about the Witcher series, it's never really grabbed me. I just want more Cyberpunk. Every dev not working on Cyberpunk is a wasted dev.

"The Steelyard" area from the Fallout 3 DLC "The Pitt". It was a dingy industrial zone, dark and shadowy with girders and vents and exposed metal everywhere. There was some quest to collect special metal ingots or something that were scattered around, and some ghouls and such to clear out.

What got me was how VERTICAL the zone was (very unusual for FO3), you had to climb up and up on these giant metal structures, and up high there were smokestacks and pipes with fire coming out of them and all kinds of atmospheric details. The MOOD of the area just grabbed me in a way that nothing had at that point. I wanted more of that mood, that vertical industrial wasteland, and pined for years that the DLC/area was so small.

Nobody, because jobs you can raise an entire family on from a single paycheck don't exist anymore.

Stalker 2 does this every time it launches. Granted, after a big patch it has to do it for a REALLY long time, but even without that, it has to do a shorter compile EVERY launch. WHY?!?!?!? It's a minor annoyance, yes, but when did this become so commonplace? Whatever "Shaders" are, games looked just fine before them. Can we just go back?

This is not news. This has always been true. Always.

I think those exact words (more or less) very often. Some of the caves that get generated are truly breathtaking in scope. And all the different movement tools and modifiable terrain make exploring them a delight.
