The Skeleton King
Jul 16, 2011

Right now undead are at the top of my shit list. Undead are complete fuckers. Those geists are fuckers. Necromancers are fuckers. Necrosavants are big time fuckers. Skeletons aren't too bad except when they bleed everyone in the company. Zombos are at least not too bad.


I bought Rain World because it looked really good. Sadly there's no way for me to run the game because it freezes on a black screen the second it starts up. I tried every possible fix and nothing changed. I have to assume that the devs didn't make it compatible with my GPU (Radeon R9 200 series). Its not a problem with my GPU not being good enough, I can run things that are a great deal more graphics intensive than Rain World.

Oh well, gently caress it. Time for a refund. It isn't a summer sale if I don't refund at least one thing for not working.

Maybe one day once I make a living wage I can get a better computer with a better GPU, but there's no chance of that happening for at least another two years.

All in all I think I'm actually over steam, the other services have turned pretty good, and I'm for example enjoying the origin 4€ monthly subscription thing where I can play a shitload of actual good games without buying them. I barely play video games anymore anyway so.

its actually pretty usable today idk, I used to hate it and now I'm indifferent to it. They've got a bunch of games in the access for "free", some real good ones like DA:O , Crysis 3, the new mirrors edge or mass effect triology, plus a shitload of old school games. I played through dungeon keeper a while ago it was awesome.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

So far I picked up:

The original Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon which I used to love plus Island Thunder and Desert Siege for $6.77.

Also picked up Jade Empire, IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad, Northgard, and Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments. I've been wanting to play a good mystery game and apparently this one is decent.

I'm looking at Golf With Your Friends right now. Should I get it?

It is, if you enjoy playing group-based games alone.

It's playable in the sense that Borderlands is playable as a single player game. Technically you can do it but the real fun is shooting dudes with friends and building your character to be a compliment to a team

So basically the game is bugged on nvidia cards and renders at the wrong resolution then upscales to your actual resolution, resulting in worse visuals and reduced performance. You can download a fanpatch that instantly and completely fixes it, pretty much like the PC release of the original DaS.

Game Dev Tycoon is hilarious.

Hilarious in that it's ~$4 right now and so far naming games things like "FART DICK gently caress" and other highly mature titles hasn't gotten old yet, and I've put in a few hours. Cheaper than seeing a movie even if I never touch the game after tonight.

I just bought DOOM and then saw it needs about 78 GB hard drive space. My games partition has about 89 GB free. Does filling a partition up cause any slow-downs or problems the way filling up a non-partitioned hard drive does?

Nier: Automata is seriously one of those few games that you can use the word "art" to describe, unironically.

Got lots of indie stuff I've been on the fence over. From what I've played so far:

- Halcyon 6 Starbase Commander has been pretty enjoyable. It's like FTL crossed with Masters of Orion 2, with Final Fantasy style turn based combat.
- Hollow Knight is awesome and I easily spent several hours in that without realising.
- Axiom Verge is another metroidvania, but more NES Metroid than Castlevania.

Is Halcyon good? The reviews have been mixed for it.
