I recently bought Invisible Inc., a turn-based tactical stealth game. I had my eye on it for almost 8 years now, but I seldom found time to play any other game than DotA. Now that I have beat my addiction, I can finally enjoy some games I had on my wishlist for a very long time. I also bought the first two Thief games and Grim Fandango Remastered.
Grim Fandango made me tear up. I have never had so much fun in years playing a video game. I really enjoy adventure games (played Myst, Monkey Island, Beneath a Steel Sky) but I have the feeling that this style of game is a bit out of fashion currently. Any recommendations for modern adventure games?
Factorio, hours upon hours of Factorio. I go to bed planning my next expansion. I wake up from dreaming about it. It’s consumed my life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Sounds like you’re doing it right! A good corp can help; I think it’s most important to get into something fun ASAP so you don’t think the whole game is just grinding missions or whatever. When I started I fell in with a small gang of wormhole explorers and eventually joined the big Reddit corp. Good times.
the fact that GS sells shit in this state speaks more about their cocksucker business; the idea that you’re standing up for it - stonkdweeb adherent lol. get a fucking life.
it was a company circling the drain for great reason before it got saved by a bunch of reddit dweebs. enjoy your movie, I strongly doubt your hodls will be worth it lol
Man, if this phenomena was rallying around a decent company with a decent history that’d make sense… it’s a wretched company that’s been historically crap to it’s customers and employees. Your ‘concern’ for me is hilarious, you have a great night lol
because they chimed in an unloaded all their bullshit hatred on me for no valid reason
Really take a step back, reread your initial comment, and tell us honestly that what you’re describing doesn’t sound exactly like what you just did lol

Geez, who hurt you?
I’d argue, as long as there are “cocksuckers” that keep buying from them, regardless of these posts (I’ve seen at least 10 or 20 over the past years), there is very much a market to service. Just capitalisticly speaking.
no one cares about your bullshit, mate. no one. blah blah blah gamestop blah blah it’s a fucked up predatory company that treats their employees and customers with clear disdain. maybe you’re into that. good for you. have a nice life and get fucked.
Cities: Skylines 2! Poor performance aside it’s easy to see the potential, and it’s still a lot of fun. I still get around 30 fps at 1440p in my small town
I went back to playing Slay the Spire for a bit, since it’s almost N7 Day, but I might just replay Disco Elysium in stead. After ME, maybe it’s time to try Starfield? Have seen too many negative reviews to really want to pay full price for it, but we’ll see.
It’s been a long time, but I remember liking Jaal, Vetra, Drack, and Peebee a lot. I also remember Peebee being controversial in terms of you love her or hate her.
The Talos Principle. I’ve had this game for years, but always bounced off during the second world. Finally stuck with it in anticipation of the sequel. Overall, not as difficult as I imagined, but some puzzles are quite frustrating, either because the solution feels like a bug or because the setup is long and a mistake requires a full reset. Still very enjoyable even though I didn’t care much about the story.
FF7 Remake Intergrade. Not much to say about this one. Very solid DLC and just the right length. Next up: Continuing my playthrough of the original FF7 from where Remake ended.
Cocoon. Probably my favorite game of the year beside Hi-Fi Rush. Really cool main mechanic that’s explored at a very enjoyable pace. All puzzle elements are clearly telegraphed as well and unintentional red herrings get blocked off to avoid confusion. Didn’t really see this game get noticed though, which is a shame.
I’ve been balancing between Dark and Darker, Outpath, Cattails: Wildwood story, God of Weapons, Vampire Survivors, and lightly dabbling in BG3. not to mention my endless backlog. I keep telling myself I’ll stop once I hit 1k and get that badge on Steam but I know I’ll keep going.
Just finished Breathedge. Subnautica in space? Sort of, but with a ‘ha, aren’t we game developers funny’ kind of humor. Portal is an immersive game that’s really funny. The humor in Breathedge, however, insures you can never really settle in to the game. Even so, It’s most impressive what such a small team was able to accomplish.
Just started Plague Tale: Innocence. Stealth survival with hordes of rats - a little creepy and I’m not really expecting an uplifting ending, but we’ll see how it goes.
Just finished Sea of Stars. I never 180’d from a game so much.
I started it a week and a half ago, and I was in love with the game. The story was cliché, sure, but everything else was perfect, and the characters were kind of cute.
But the third act feels too rushed and the ending… Oh boy, the ending. It just doesn’t feel like an ending at all. I was extremely disappointed with it, and too many setpieces just led to nowhere.
And the true ending was even worse, in that it not only has very arbitrary requirements to unlock (including finding all 60+ collectibles scattered across the map in random locations), but ruins one of the best and arguably the most emotional moments of the game as well.
spoilerI despise time travel. Always. It just doesn’t work, unless you put a lot of thought into it, and the Sea of Stars developers clearly didn’t even try.
