WHO is the goodest girl?
I'm a dummy who probably shouldn't have, but I spent $20 through GMG to pre-order Hellpoint (or Heckspot if you turn on the adult-permissions feature) which the devs have described as Dark Souls meets Dead Space meets Doom meets Any other grimdark games that start with D?

Seriously, though, streamers have shown that it's made a fair amount of progress since the demo The Thespian Feast released and for $20, it looks like it'll be at least as much as fun as Immortal Unchained was, and probably a little moreso (I felt the demo was janky, but not as janky as the finished Immortal was.)

Is anyone else looking to pick it up at launch later this week?

Also you're making me want to do a (terrible) gimmick run of three Soulslingers interrupting everything all the time.

The lack of damage would be rough, for sure!

Minor spoilers for this ~tactics game~, there is a hidden fourth class that wields scythes you unlock during a boss fight, also you are eventually allowed to use more than 3 daughters per synapse.

Maybe Kris can come in, and we can throw M-80s at his asshole.
I just got done with my most recent and most favorite session of DemonCrawl.

I got Underwing from a chest and brought it into a Haunted stage.





On turn 40 Underwing spawned Golem Glove in my inventory.



In my infinite wisdom, I used my sundial, thinking it would only flag any monsters it had the potential to reveal.



It revealed them instead. Eight of them.

One that tripled the length of status effects, one that was a bomb that would kill me in 500 turns, a Poison omen that drained a life every 60 turns, one that hid the price of items at stores, and this one that I sold at a Bazaar to see what would happen:



I got an achievement for it.

When it was new I thought it was funny for the first couple of hours and then it got really repetitive. I don't know if I'd find it funny any more - it relies on real gross-out humor and cow mutilations and anal probing are both kind of on the eeeeh side of humor.

I don't think it's really worth playing any more.

Phantasy Star Online 2 on Steam!? Sweeeeet! I can't wait to try it out and uninstall it. I have the terrible dilemma of trying to figure out if I'm trying PSO2, SW:TOR, or FFXIV enhanced trial edition.

Maybe I'll just buy the GW2 expansions and play that instead. I hate you, MMORPG games. Go away or give me a longer lifespan.

DRG, I'll always vouch for that one. I've tried both Vermintides, took a look at GTFO (meh), lost my love for Payday 2 years ago, don't want to play L4D 1 or 2 ever again, didn't like Space Hulk: Deathwing, and can't get back into Killing Floor 2.

DRG continues to provide fond memories... of dying. And drinking. And beards.

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


There was a time that I was really excited for PSO2 but 7+ years of updates have made it too confusing and noisy for me by the time it finally came to the west. I think I'll just load up Blue Burst and spam the same 3 abilities, thanks.

Even if it was actually possible to get a Switch anywhere right now, all those complaints I am hearing about the quality of the joycons is really turning me off from considering it. For the price (and that console sure as hell ain't cheap) it seems to be really shoddily made.

In the latest Star Citizen news, their community manager finally posted an update regarding two things: 1. a certain video updating us about progress with their singleplayer game Squadron 42 - a video that was scrapped and not a peep came out about it for over 3 months; 2. a roadmap that would better represent progress on Squadron 42 - something they've said they would redesign I think back in February.

The short version is we got an update with a roadmap for a roadmap about updates

I feel the same weird way about SWTOR coming to Steam. I played it at launch, got worn out, and then tried it again a year or two ago and the sheer amount of content/feature creep in that timeframe made it just a gigantic mishmash of flashing lights and weird-rear end pop-ups. I couldn't handle starting from scratch with it again in that form and haven't gone back since. :(

IIRC, the newer Joycons usually don't have the problem, and Nintendo will fix them for free.

Nintendo's repair service was closed for a long time (due to covid) and it still way behind (I have a ticket in for one). It's a pretty shocking problem from a Nintendo product as usually they make really tough hardware.

They used to make really tough hardware, but I don't think this has really been strictly true since at least the days of the original Nintendo DS. Those were a bit notorious for having their shoulder buttons die on people, happened to me as well. They haven't really been making 'big grey brick' Nintendium handhelds in a long time.
