-Yeah those mondo CRPGs are rough because as soon as you take a break it becomes a chore in and of itself to get back into it and figure out what you were doing. I loved those games for their value and replayability back when I was a kid, but I much prefer more linear narrative driven games...

It's that time of year folks, pick 12 games from your existing game library to download, install, and play this year. They're all just licenses that publishers can *yoink* away at any time so might as well enjoy them. And don't give me none of that GOG lip, they just got sold and who knows...

Anyhow, have picked up the following after a couple beers and lowered inhibitions: Divinity Original Sin Max Payne 3 The Talos Principle 2 WH40K Chaosgate Daemonhunters Slay the Princess Persona 4 Golden My buddy also gifted me WH40K:Boltgun and BattleTech. I generally try to stay away...

Yikes. Thing is people really just don't care about the DRM or ownership element of software. That's GOG's whole angle and the company is worth $25 mil. Customers don't punish publishers for not bringing their games to GOG and so no one bothers, and the store will fade into obscurity.

Alright, completed Control and it's expansion Alan Wake Experience, by Remedy. Still have The Foundation DLC to complete as well as some optional side missions. Let me just say that I love a game that is unabashedly about the style and presentation. Yeah, the game itself is fine, but the...

There were... A lot. That blue settings screen where you configure IRQ and such is burned into my memory.

So, so tired boss...

- The best time to learn how to do shiz is when your paycheck doesn't depend on it. I'd love to get into the whole recording/editing/voiceover scene, but never as a a job and god forbid as W O R K. Then you can come here and post your own videos as evidence that TPU's relative performance...

Bruh, you should set up a Tuber channel and just bench your weird builds as a retirement hobby. There is someone out there wondering how this build performs, I guarantee it.

I know, I know, these aren't really the hot **** they used to be, but its still worth pointing out or discussing any deals you come across or your potential purchases for discussion's sake. A lot of game pricing nowadays is sticky and games tend to have a much higher "standard" price to their...

**** Firefox has been my go to for decades at this point. But they've clearly been lost in the desert since the end of the browser wars where they helped propel a lot of pro-user features across the browser ecosystem. Talk about not understanding your userbase. Whatever they do, I hope it...

-In all honesty it's been like 25 years since I last played MP and I've never played MP2 although it's in my Steam Library. Maybe I should make it a point to give those games a whirl and see if they stand the rest of time. As for Control, yeah maybe there isn't much there there, but what is...

Pretty good year chewing through my library. Some real gems in there. Deus Ex Mankind Divided was fantastic and I can now join the dozen or so people who have beaten the game and are depressed that there likely will not be a sequel. Mad Max was another one. Pretty straightforward open world...

-TBF the game clocks in at ~15 hours on HLTB. I've been playing for about 10 and I feel quite powerful and have most of the upgrades at this point.

- Yeah with Remedy games, the whole thing rides on the narrative. Either it hooks you and you're all in, or it doesn't and you're left with a very slick and stylish but ultimately basic shooter that is really only there to give you something to do between story beats. Control was by far...
