i genuinely dont understand mmo addicts. i tried playing Lost Ark and it was so loving boring, i kept hoping "ok maybe it'll get good after i reach...." and it never did. it's somehow still the top 20 most played game on Steam with 30k active users. like what the gently caress

like yeah i played a lot of Guild Wars 1 back in the early 2000s but that's because it was free, and also i was in high school with no credit card and too much infinite free time, and even then it was more a competitive pvp game with no grind

gw1 was amazing. just so much creativity and unique builds going on

I’m playing a game I call Armored Spore right now, where I add a lot of armored plates to my creatures so they are strong and can defeat other creatures in a seamless microscopic to galactic gameplay extravaganza sandbox, more people should be getting in on this.

I jumped from BG3 to running a D&D5E game tonight with friends on discord and roll 20 and it was a hoot and a half, first time I've dmed in years but we had some veterans and newbies and it was a very good session 0!

Anyway, back to belly crawling every square inch of the underdark in bg3...

yeah Larian said people played over 1,420,626 years worth of game time in the first weekend and hundreds of people finished it.

I'm playing a strength barbarian and I failed two rolls to pull out some random hand sticking out of a portal. Oh well, that's the D20 system! I still like it. Sometimes you just fail, because life is hard even if you're a "pull hard" specialist. Good times.

same, I got to the bugbear/ogre barn scene in the goblin town and had to stop and process some things. I'll be back someday but yeesh I'm surprised that's the stuff in games now, lol. It wasn't offensive or anything but I'm left asking, why? why game, why do this.

In the meantime hollow knight is rad as hell.

I mentioned this before but its legit been month after month of great games all year. New IPs, great sequels, everything from Indie stuff to that vaunted AAA stuff, in a ton of different genres. Even a bunch of good remasters/remakes.

Yeah I don’t get it either. I feel like the best way to portray sex scenes in games was figured out in 2008 and people keep trying to reinvent the wheel.

i like the part where gale tells the PC that he'll show them how to channel magic or w/e and then your character starts getting uncomfortably close to him throughout the scene until the narrator says it's magically compelling your character to want to gently caress him or something and then he's like "wow and i worked so hard" if it doesn't work

some real :chloe: poo poo

Gale is a goon, an idiot child and a gently caress up that needs his hand held by an adult the entire time so they don't screw up their life anymore than they already did.
