This “New” game was in the same order. Looks like they fished it out of a dumpster.

AeroLemming,

$110??? That’s over 15 hours of labor at minimum wage. Holy shit.

Trainguyrom,

That’s about a day of work after taxes at my professional wage that I negotiated my workplace up to!

lapommedeterre,

Report this to your credit card as damaged.

I’m between games right now but I just finished and did a bunch of the extra stuff in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.

I have been trying to beat a 2nd run in Slay the Spire. I also have been failing to get past round 15 in that endless mode in Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate.

Guapomole,

my advice is stack attack cards in act 1, while specializing for specific bosses. while that’s going on, pay attention to relics or cards that might support a build/theme. the rest of the game, try to refine that theme to make it happen as reliably as possible.

also, speed is better then building up towards massive strength.

I played this for a while - it’s def fun. I will vouch.

I’ve recently upgraded my pc and I’ve been playing Anno 1800 with all season pass. I can play that game for 10 hours straight. I really have to tell myself to stop. There is just always something to do in that game, I just love it.

Deep Rock Galactic is my current game. It’s super fun with friends and offers a decent challenge. The slapper of a soundtrack is also a bonus. I love seeing bits of bugs fly in every direction while Dance of the Dreadnaught is rocking my ears.

Also, I just got the Fat Boy overclock. Now the caves have a healthy green glow

TheLongPrice,

Even fun with randoms tbh, everyone’s so friendly

On my 2nd New Playthrough of Elden Ring. I was a STR/FTH build in my first playthrough, so I decided to use the build opposite to that, DEX/INT. I love the Moonveil and the Dark Moon Greatsword, but the Godslaying Greatsword has a good place in my heart. That, and funny dragon lightning. I’m going back to STR/FTH on NG+.

On a side note, beating Malenia for the 2nd time is satisfying as hell

Just upgraded my home internet from a spotty 50 Mbps with lots of packet loss to a 250 Mbps with cheaper monthly costs. So most of the time I’m just downloading games for the heck of it. I might not need to use my HDD to backup games anymore as the download speed is the same as my external HDD speeds ♪⁠~⁠(⁠´⁠ε⁠`⁠ ⁠)

  • I’m on Lvl 15. I have unlocked less than 1% of all the game awards. My account is 0,77 years old
  • My battle stats are crap without a doubt (even more so when compared to the strongest players), but I only target weak players who have left their accounts ages ago so it doesn’t matter much
  • I’m in a company and a faction that provides capacity bonuses to the item amount I can buy through traveling
  • I have unlocked stock market. I make some small money through that sometimes. I also do bank investments
  • I have set up a private island rent with faction friends. They rent it for me. It provides happiness and other benefits
  • I sell random stuff from time to time. Plushies is my biggest income
  • I participate in weekly chains (it’s a faction fight system) with my faction friends as a token of my appreciation for being aboard with them on our common journey
  • I have pretty much mastered the two first new crime types (provided through the new crime system of TORN) - small thefts and bootlegging. Working on the graffiti crime as the next goal. Card skimming is probably my most favorite crime type at this point

Since OP didn’t post a link with referral I’ll post my own 😉 (you get merits if someone reaches lvl 10 hint hint) www.torn.com/2965724

Damaskox,
@Damaskox@lemmy.world avatar

I wanted to tell about the game while not making it too beneficial for me 🙂

mathemachristian,

Naaah make it beneficial why not? Plus merits are kinda important

If someone joins without referral that’s a merit lost to everyone (this is very sad)

Selmafudd,

It I ever recommend something with a referral link I just offer both links.

The game giving me some Ogame vibes, is there any p2w?

Damaskox,
@Damaskox@lemmy.world avatar

Pay to win?

There is a subscription system I think. Gives a bigger energy pool, higher energy regeneration and I think it also gives points. It can be bought with game money as well, I think.

Haven’t looked into it myself.

mathemachristian,

Donator status does offer perks beneficial to game play. Its 5$ a month. But not p2w in the sense of the more money you sink in, the easier it is to advance.

Been playing KP Liberation on Arma 3 again with a group of friends. It’s always a blast and older games just have such a nice feel to them.

I finally finished Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, after nearly 300 hours. Holy fuck, there is so much video game in that god-damn video game. It just keeps going for so much longer than it needs to. Then on top of that they went and added several new features like raiding, and a roguelike game mode which I enjoyed.

It’s a mediocre game, but it’s a fun time if you’re like me and just enjoy exploring big maps, collecting items, upgrading gear, etc. I enjoyed the DLC, but I’m not planning on picking up Dawn of Ragnarök because the mythical storyline just doesn’t interest me.

Just finished Subnautica for the first time. That was a hell of a satisfying ending. Good game throughout.

Picked Factorio back up for now. Making another go at it on a fresh start. Maybe this time I’ll push through and actually launch a rocket.

thatWeirdGuy,

Mmm, crack cocaine of video games 😃 I always get bogged down after the blue science. This time I got yellow working too, but my logistics is crap. I kind of dislike making a main belt, so I make it more complicated for myself than it needs to be

Okami_No_Rei,
@Okami_No_Rei@lemmy.world avatar

That’s how it goes. The blue science wall is real.

My last run was the first time I pushed past blue. I just barely managed to get yellow and purple going but I overextended my base, everything was falling apart from resource bottlenecks, and the biters had spread so much that pushing out to new resource patches was like pulling teeth. I gave up while trying to get a fresh oil supply up and running.

Current run I just got red and green science going, and trains and my car are ready to go. Iron is starting to run out. Fixing to leave my starter base to go liberate some more iron and coal from the natives.

Barotruma for the honkmother the honkening shall continue

Tum,

I’ve never gotten past the second (or maybe third) zone of Barotrauma. usually I play with my brother, and we have a slew of mods that add new equipment and let you uninstall and reinstall equipment on subs, and we end up turning a rustbucket into a profitable cargo hauler with storage racks in every conceivable space and a wire up controller to manage the reactor for us. have you ever gotten to endgame content?

ShitOnABrick,
@ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world avatar

Yep a couple of times never completed the campaign tho I’ve gotten 600hrs in the game I tend to troll around and dabble in some griefing I mainly play on mutitplayer servers

I’ve been playing The Outer Worlds. I restarted with a new character focused on dialog and tech skills after seeing how easy the combat is.

I like the game and really wish the discussion around it stopped simply painting it as “Fallout New Vegas In Space”, because it is not. Thinking of it that way sets misguided expectations.

The writing quality and sensibilities are clearly from many of the same minds behind New Vegas, but the game’s overall design is much guided for the player than New Vegas. In a lot of ways it feels like a classic BioWare RPG. Instead of a giant open world, there are various hubs that have curated content and which are opened up to the player in a quasi linear way.

The setting is very well defined and there is a clear vision for it. So many game settings are generic or uninspired. I haven’t played Starfield, but the footage of it never grabbed me with its kind of generic looking future. The Outer Worlds has a schtick and it leans into it 110%.

The combat is smooth, no surprise on the Unreal 4 engine. It is a hair too easy, but I prefer easy over hard when the enemy AI is so simple. I’m not a fan of bullets sponges or increased mobs of enemies to increase difficulty.

One single and huge complaint I have is the PC controls are not fully rebindable. They are only partially rebindable which is a headache for a left handed IJKL player. The game won’t let me rebind to my preference and I ended up writing my own script in AutoHotkey, which I then have to run whenever playing the game.
