My daughter (4) is very into exploring cities, homes and villages in Skyrim, feeding aliens in No Man’s Sky, and cleaning houses in House Flipper. She gets annoyed in games like House Flipper because she can’t leave the property to explore all of the visible houses on the block. I’d like to find other PC games that are...
When Minecraft came out, it was hard to understand, not that good looking and only really catered to nerd gamers. There was no recipe book, no cute animals, no lush caves to explore, just an unforgiving Day-Night cycle and few, very creepy caves....

Lmao someone in the comments said they were sold a used one (at brand new price) straight from the manufacturer.
Then someone replied to them saying basically, “that’s on you from ordering from the manufacturer instead of a trusted store like Amazon. I had no problems with them.”
I recently played Alien Isolation, and I noticed all of the “hacking” she does on doors and computers are different types of games, like press the button at the right time, or match the images within a timer, etc....
Starting January 9, a new policy on the Xbox Network will automatically remove captures (screenshots and video clips) stored for over 90 days, affecting all users with 'historic' content. This move is believed to alleviate strain on Microsoft's servers.
I get where you’re coming from, but ads don’t just want people talking, they want to turn people into buyers.
After the success of the PS2, virtually their entire market knew about the PS3. But even with those weird ads and their previous massive success with the PS2, the PS3 was selling terribly poorly around the time of the baby ad, IIRC.
I don’t seem to recall Nintendo making me pay anything for something I didn’t want.
I’m 100% in favour of emulation and whatnot, but I don’t understand what your problem is.
Remakes, re-releases and ports? What’s the big deal? If you had BotW on the WiiU, don’t buy it on the Switch. TotK came out on the Switch, so they’re still releasing new games.
Again, I love the emulation scene and I know piracy is important for game preservation. I don’t understand what your complaint is, though…
It always seemed like “Baby’s first GTA” to me, but I think the Spyro the Dragon series might scratch that same itch. Especially the second and third games on the PS1.
But it’s not a sale. It’s a game, and it’s provided for free, and as of right now there is no end date where your access to the game will expire. No money leaves your wallet.
I still don’t understand.
Is this some sort of coping mechanism by people who paid for the game 10 years ago?
… because unless you bought it from GOG over Steam (which is my preferred place to buy digital games, not Epic), you’re in the same boat: Haven’t bought a game, you’ve bought a license. Except with Epic, it’s $0.00 today.
So unless you bought a physical copy of this game and kept it off the internet (not sure if anyone is collecting any data through FO3 itself), or got it gifted to you through GOG and you don’t have an account there, you’re in the same boat. Except you paid for the game with money in addition to data.
It’s definitely a game in the modern sense. If you want games in the traditional sense, your choices are pretty much GOG and physical copies. And even those aren’t a guarantee, with things like…
“Physical copies” that are really just download codes or a DRM key on a disc
Day one patches
Patches that make the game drastically different than it was on launch, particularly when the game was drastically different (aka. shittier) on its unpatched launch
Games that require proprietary servers to run the game properly, and won’t be kept alive after a certain date because they won’t release the required code for fans to run their own servers
For a lot of gamers, “licenses to games” or any of the above cases make up the majority of the games they play. Yet we still call them gamers, we still call them games, and we still call it gaming.
I think the problem is that he said he’d likely turn to crime again.
If he’d just say “No, this was my last time, I’ll be good now”, he’d be in a different situation. Maybe doing exactly what you said after serving a much more reasonable sentence.
If you’re on Windows, hit the Windows key (or open the start bar) and find the icon that looks like a circle with a vertical dash through to top of it. From there, you’re looking for “shut down”.
This will safely turn off your computer so that the lights will turn off.
Knocking opponents off the stage is close enough to lowering their HP to 0.
Being slower than everyone else is the opposite of being faster than everyone else. It does seem like it’s cheesing the system that’s supposed to balance things out.
Even items in Smash Bros has a skill component in getting to the item first. And “rubber band” mechanics like bonus final smashes (and items in general) can be turned off.
I meant sub-optimally in terms of actually racing. Optimal speed would be getting the lowest time in the race. Bagging would be aiming to not get the fastest lap each time. I probably could’ve chosen a better word, my bad.
I’m not upset about anything. But isn’t this post about Nintendo removing/reducing bagging? So maybe some others are upset about that change. But it seems like a good thing to me.
I think lagging behind for OP items is less interesting than a skill-based race.
In a party environment, those OP items are great. Bullet Bills help the new player spice up the friendly environment. But if the pro is lagging behind specifically to get OP items, I think that makes it less fun and less interesting.
