I know I remember seeing some people talk about how nice some of the environments in Hitman were, and that they’d just walk around as a tourist from time to time, treating it like a walking simulator/virtual tourism thing instead of the stealth assassination game it is.

I have Grand Bazaar on the ds and I agree its hard going back to that from Stardew Valley. I managed to play through Knights of the Old Republic once and man. Loved it, can’t do it again. (I also had to cheat to make it through the end because “force powers? Nah sniper rifle is fine” turned out to be not fine)

Can’t wait for the one free pokestop spin a day and one free Pokémon in a gym a day. Better hope multiple Pokémon don’t come home at once, you’ll be charged to let them come back and still won’t get any extra coins for it. Coins from gym are put into escrow until your watch ten ads.
I just got finished with beating Riven for the first time. I adored the way the game seeped into my real life with pages of notes about the world I was discovering. Are there any other games that can match this feeling? That really work best when you have a journal in hand?
Loading Ready Run doesn’t always play through a game, as they make a lot of stuff, but they do have a thing called Play It Forward where they do do that. There’s several competed games in there, I think. They’re all streams first so not very edited though.
I could not upgrade from 7 to 11 because the hardware was bad, yes. I did try to upgrade before this also, but it also didn’t want to upgrade to 8? Or maybe it was 10. I forget why it refused to do those two systems though.
While I’ve thought about linux, actually making the switch is scary.
I can put together a computer, that part is easy. It’s very fancy lego! The software scares me, and it often just gets weird on me. I’m unsure why. Tech support is also confused, because they’ll watch me follow instructions and then it just explodes.
But with linux I would mostly be the tech support, and that seems dangerous for having a machine that works!
Maybe the windows 7 machine can be made into linux. It still worked, after all. I only switched because I wanted to still play games.
I’m not the only one to use this machine, and the message greatly upset the other person, so we just got a new machine over dealing with the possibility of it continuing.
I’ve been playing it for a good couple months and I’m still nowhere near tired of it, I’ll actually replay the whole game once I beat it because it’s so much fun. Love the story and voice acting too. This game goes on sale a lot so I’d highly suggest getting jt for cheap and trying it out
Oh, I loved Marvels Midnight Suns. There were some bugs I wished were fixed and never will be now (the problem with the chest and the armor thing) but otherwise adored it. The gameplay was fun, I loved exploring the grounds, loved talking to people!
Almost any, but I wish I had played Star Wars Galaxies in its prime. But any, really. I was not allowed to play almost any video games growing up. Except for Detective Barbie: Mystery of the Carnival Caper. And Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing. Of, and Oregon Trail 2! Not 1. 2.
A girl who have me a spork told me how her friend played the game and he was a hair dresser in game and once watched a battle between two jedi, when I asked her if I could be a chef in game.
I might have liked it, back then, but my tolerance for things was very high. Paying for a subscription was very veery low, being a young teen.
I am recounting an event that happened when Star Wars Galaxies was around.
A friends of mine comes to me and we start talking about Star Wars Galaxies. She tells me about her friend who plays, and the character he has who is a non combatant because I ask if I could be a chef or any other non combatant role. She says I can, using her friend as an example. She gives me the gift of a spork. Because we’re teenage girls and it’s random times.
I then explain I wouldn’t mind if the game is grindy or slow because my tolerance for that as a teenager was very high. But my ability to play the game at the time is hampered by my lack of money so I can’t pay the monthly fees. Or buy the game. Because I’m a kid.
I’ve watched a stream or two of this game! Which is exactly how much horror I can take. It’s quite funny when I’m not dying to ghosts but random stranger is!
I recently started a game of Pirates! When I sat down to play today, the pirates were no longer the only ones spicing up their speech with arrs and ahoys. The merchants were doing it. The military were doing it. The nobles were doing it (awkwardly). The barmaids were doing it. Even the user interface was doing it....
I am on windows, so I’m not quite sure why my steam version of the game just…stopped working one day. And the work around fixed it. Until it didn’t. But now it’s better? Maybe? I haven’t checked in a few months, maybe it’s back to Not Better.
Coming to you this September, Patch 7 rolls out the perfect escape with split screen updates, brand new cinematics for evil endings, plenty of bug fixes, plus our official modding toolkit which we talked more about in our last Community Update!
Yeah, when I saw him I sort of just like…“…maybe it is I who has lost the thread on attractiveness and also agd?” and thank goodness no, other people agree with me!
The switch is the only console we currently have, but it does some games very well! Balatro seems the same on desktop as on switch, but that is a card game. Dave the Diver also does well on the switch!
I sent an email thanking them for making Sid Meier’s Pirates! and they sent an email back thanking me for my interest and that no new game was planned. Which…wasn’t my email, but still very sad!
I’ve been having a lot of fun! Doing a bunch! Dying a bunch as well!
I am looking forward to that whole region they say they’re working on. Also hoping for more of a specific thing that might be a spoiler. I have no idea how to do spoiler text in connect.
I have! Can’t butcher things yet which I forgot and also forgot animal people have the food needs of their animal base so maybe I should have started with a goblin adventurer that needs no food or water instead of the eagle woman.
I still wish and hope we get goosemen someday.
I need to be a very naughty horrible goose stealing everyone’s items!
As the other has said, adventurer mode is very different. You control only yourself and a few others at most. You must worry about food and drink and sleep every day instead of it being every so often for dwarves. There is much less about what to do (currently, demigods/chosen will have more godly influence on them maybe?) so you make your own existence.
Watched the first episode. Despite knowing every single person at that opening had to well…not do so well, the girl and her last line was heartbreaking
