just died because I was standing next to a reel-to-reel player that took one stray enemy bullet and exploded like a 1,000-pound bomb; the thing was in a dark corner and I didn't even see it before it went off, I had to go back and check what killed me

you win, Control, I can't take any more of this poo poo. congrats on being the worst game I've played in years

I only paid $20 for it with the EGS sale and that still feels like a waste of money

I'm looking for games that have that "keep you playing" quality (which I'm sure has a name--besides "compelling"--but I don't know what it is). Games like WoW or Grim Dawn have it with world design and the loot chase (and the social aspect).Total War/X-COM/Darkest Dungeon have it with the high-suspense turn-based gameplay. Deus Ex and Prey also have that quality, but those two games use story, sound, and immersive gameplay to generate it. It's a quality that goes across genres, so I'm not looking for any specific type of game. Just the ones that make you want to keep playing. Any suggestions?

the guy who played Kane was Joe Kucan, C&C's cutscene director

if it was Just A Guy From The Office then Kane would've been way doughier and more nasally

I’d like to recommend Monster Train to any Slay the Spire fans, it looks like it’s the new hotness. It’s a deck-building game with very similar vibes, including (imo) the pretty bad visuals.

You have spell cards and unit cards, and use the latter to reinforce one of three “lanes”; after you’ve built up your board using all the mana you have available, you end your turn and combat resolves itself. Enemies you haven’t killed move up closer to your health bar, and you go back to building your board.

I haven’t seen all of the cards yet, but it seems like there’s a similar amount of build variety as StS. Also, it captures the same good feelings when you chance upon a really overpowered combo!

It’s fun!

How do I get the new gangtag? Disco elysium is great, but I’m not really feeling the Hobo Cops banner right now.

Also probably buying a new av tonight, which should get rid of it anyway.

Go Nod first. I think GDI is "canon" to the next game, so be fresher on that one for later.

Also I feel like more people than me are gonna want to buy one of these pins today. Because they're Streets of Rage fans. Of course.

Just gotta keep walking down that road.
The original C&C kind of assumes you play GDI first since there's stuff like a cutscene on the NOD side where Kane talks over a video you were shown on the GDI side. GDI also has the more straightforward easy-to-use power units while NOD has more gimmicks.

GDI and Allies were also Disc 1 in CNC/RA so it definitely expected you to do that.

It also kinda assumes you play Nod first because the first temple of Nod is built in egypt by the nod player. This is also the setup Renegade later goes with.

A caveat is that OpenRA is not, in fact, a straight port of those games but instead reuses the same sprites but has somewhat different gameplay because the devs thought the Westwood version weren't good enough. If you want OpenRA to play like the original C&C/RA games you have to mod that in.

neGcon's are surprisingly affordable controllers, and pretty much every racing game on the PS1 supports it. Recommend picking one up if you can find one.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Rikku's really good no matter what. You can take her through Tidus' path for Quick Hit + Hastega and have her take 5-6 turns before the enemy even has a chance to hit back. Mix is also an insanely useful Overdrive.
