Imagzle. There are “buy more levels” but there are plenty on the main one. It gives a picture, more or less, abstractly related to something. Art, movie, book, many random things

Humankind was 90% off. Been a lot of fun to play

Sparklite, I don’t know what it looks like purchases-wise, it was free with gamepass and had no in-app purchases when acquired that way. It’s probably one of the newest games I’ll post about. New enough that it was possible to get it with gamepass, lol. The game sort of has a modern retro zelda feel. I don’t think it’s a particularly long game, but it’s certainly enjoyable and pretty casual. I think if it has transactions, reading other reviews it might be like a “purchase the rest of the game” style thing. So basically a free demo that you can then choose if you like the game enough to pay.

royal match has no ads at all, its pretty fun just gotta ignore the microtransactions which is pretty easy to do at least compared to other games

Cringe2793,

I tried playing this but I just suck at it. At higher levels I just get stuck at the same stage for a super long time.

Cosmic Combo, an iOS port of Johan Peitz’ PICO-8 game Cosmic Collapse, is good.

Playing The Finals consistently, and Lorelei and the Laser Eyes. It is such a fun puzzle game, and I have enjoyed many hours playing it.

During the Steam summer sale, I picked up Viewfinder, Riven remaster, and Children of the Sun.

Finally managed to kick my current World of Warcraft addiction, or at least massively cut my time with the Remix mode. I did level a new character yesterday, just to get them to max level, but that was pretty much it. There are a few more I plan to level, but I’ll take my time with those, maybe one a week. XP needed for max level is supposed to be slashed soon, because of the new expansion, so the already short level time should be even shorter.

I’m also done with the Diablo 4 season. I didn’t enjoy playing Minion Necromancer at all, and couldn’t be bothered to grind for a different build. Just like the last few times, I finished the Season Journey, and killed one of the new giga versions of the bosses (Tormented Duriel), although I needed help with that. The next season is supposed to start soon-ish (4-5 weeks or something), so I’ll take a break until then and hopefully choose something I enjoy more.

Went back to Dave the Diver, did just one dive, but didn’t really feel it. My extended break with the game really killed my enthusiasm. I might try again here or there, but who knows. There are so many other games I want to try, this might just be it for Dave.

Started Crab Champions, a roguelike shooter, based on the Crab Rave song (I guess). It’s in Early Access, fun for a couple of hours, but lacks variety, so it can get boring relatively quickly. I’ll wait for some more updates or the full release. This game also has multiplayer, so I gotta convince some of my friends to get it, since that’s always more fun.

Anything from loverslab should on your mod list

Wwwbdd, do gaming w Are there any "Mostly Positive" games on Steam that you really enjoy?

Dark Nights with Poe and Munroe is the only game in my library that came up as mostly positive, and it’s a…mood, for sure

Imagine if a community theatre group made a cheesy suspense/mystery film that ended up feeling like an excuse to dress up sexy. When they finished they sold it to a game studio who chopped up the video, added some quicktime events and shipped it.

Mechanically it’s not great, and it’s not great writing, but when I opened myself up to the silliness of it I enjoyed it

Kissaki, do gaming w Technical quality of life advice
  • I did in the past: Replace .bik intro video file with an “empty” one to skip intros
  • I know of, haven’t used: Change game window to be borderless with Borderless Gaming
  • IIRC I’ve used Cheat Engine, before it was littered with shit, to speed up an awfully slow singleplayer game
  • In Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (W:ET) I had a whole setup of config scripts for key bindings
  • For W:ET server hosting I put configuration into a deliberate, structured set of files (it’s not necessarily obvious between splitting base game and alternateable mod configuration)
FeelzGoodMan420, do games w Q: Do I need Geforce Experience to make use of "Game Ready Drivers" (Nvidia)?

Geforce experience is useless bloatware. If you need it to record game clips, then I guess I understand. Otherwise I see zero reason to ever use it.

hperrin, do games w Q: Do I need Geforce Experience to make use of "Game Ready Drivers" (Nvidia)?

The driver will work fine, but it won’t update to the latest one in the future without GE. (Windows update might update it, but they’re always several versions behind.)

eratic,

NVCleanstall can update and notify you of new drivers

I’ve been playing Soulmask and enjoying it, but I need a break as the building in that game leaves a lot to be desired. So I’m returning to Baldur’s Gate 3. I can never bring myself to play Durge or evil aligned characters, but I’m going to try a class and character I’ve never considered and see how it goes.

sleeping dogs. They sure did curse a lot.

Was getting all set up for another playthrough of New Vegas, mods and all (even made my own, though I ditched it last minute), and then I realised, “Wait, why am I doing this? I don’t actually feel like playing this at all right now, even with the new mods.”

So, now I’ve downloaded some stuff in my backlog, but don’t know if I’ll play any of it at the moment because I’m kind of burned out a little.
