Today’s game is Phasmophobia (to stick with my “horror month” theme). With the Steam Sale i bought a copy for 2 other friends for a full party which makes these games 100% more fun.

SPOILERyoutu.be/JSuhE1ndwjcMy wife and I were playing together one night, and both of us went “HOLY SHIT!!” when we turned around and this dude straight murdered us. The thing is, up until that point Myst had been a totally safe place. You walked around knowing that although you might have made a mistake, it could be undone. You just needed to find the right solution. It was warm and comfortable. Even when he ran up the path, we just figured it was the next part of the plot. It was super unsettling to be MURDERED and find out you COULD actually LOSE. Violently. With the dude running straight at you like in a nightmare. It really, really doesn’t help that it is Brad Dourif murdering you.
I’m not much of a fan of the series, but the complaints I’m seeing are in the “I only get 30fps instead of 60fps on ultra!” kinds of things that make me roll my eyes super hard
Is that what the situation is? I think that’s also only the case on 4k with brutal mode enabled or whatever.
Obviously that’s still not great if so, but I’d still put it in the eyeroll category personally. I don’t really feel butthurt if I have to run at 1080p or enable vlss or not get 120fps or whatever, especially on day 1 for a game.
But I come from an era where there were games you had to shrink some 3d games lower than 320x200 to get a playable 10fps, so I’m also probably feeling some “back in my day we walked uphill both ways - kids today” energy here. What do I know.
Horribly mismanaged? Incompetent project management? Horrifyingly bad predictions, even lying? Big mess of a project? Sure.
Scam? No. They really are trying to do the thing they said they are.
And as you say, even though they’re never, ever going to deliver what they promised because they can’t, they have delivered a thing that a lot of people like
But god DAMN. They said most of the PU features would be done in 2016/17. 9 years later 80% of what they promised still isn’t there. Multi crew has been walked back. Etc etc.
I’ve never really played any porn games more hardcore than Baldur’s Gate 3 before, but you remember a couple weeks ago when GOG gave away those NSFW games, as a direct response to the whole thing?...
for me mine are 1. Elden Ring, 2. RDR2 3. BOTW, all because they genuinely blew my mind when playing them for the first time and changed how I saw and played video games.

What if they write it down in a single, centralizedz password manager? Which itself could be compromised?
That’s the only way I can keep the literally 100 accounts ive accumulated over the years straight, without reusing passwords.
And while I believe that is reasonably secure in my case, if that got compromised I’d be pretty screwed (well, 2fa would probably still limit the worst of it). But most people probably wouldn’t even be that secure about it.
