Hell, for free, Division 1 is especially worth playing (though I'm pretty sure you can get it real cheap these days).

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

You can get it especially cheap today. It's currently 80% or so off in the Uplay store, so under 5 dollars.

It's not a bad investment. If I hadn't gotten it for free already, I'd buy it. I've been having a decent amount of fun with Division 2, which I grabbed the last time the series got that kind of discount.

The only problem with The Division is that playing it right now might hit a little too close to home.

It is about a sudden epidemic ending the world as we know it, yes. Still, might as well buy it now and play it once Corona has been weathered, which it will be.

The mobile version is free, so give it a try. It's crazy fun and you can SOMETIMES get a good group of randos. I liked it enough I threw the $5 down on it for the pc version. It's really blown up recently, so you can find plenty of people streaming it to see what it's all about (or YouTube or whatever)

If you've ever played the party games Werewolf or Mafia, it's the same vibe. You're astronauts on a broken ship trying to repair it with simple tasks, but a couple of you are IMPOSTERS trying to kill the others without being caught.

I'd love it if there were a goon squad to play it with. Is there a generic goons discord to sync that type of thing up?

The reason the virus in the division spread so well was the same as why SARS-CoV-2 did- it was contagious during the incubation period.

Hey, gang! Steam yields no easy way to find the answer to this quandry.

Girlfriend likes bunnies. There's a mini-profile whatever bullshit thing that costs two thousand Steam bux. I've got that much, so it's not problem. Is there any way I can buy it and gift it to her? I don't want to just send her the Steam bux, I want it to be spontaneous because I think that's how people do this.

Unfortunately it looks like all the steam profile stuff is not able to be traded. I suggest you buy her this game instead: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1208600/Bunny_Park/

What is it? If it's from a game you might be able to buy it with real money on the market (hopefully not more than 10 or 20 cents) and that would be tradeable. Things bought on the point shop, and point shop points themselves, are not tradeable or giftable.

That really does look hideous. I mean, drat. You'd need to have a creepy-level obsession with bunnies to play that.

I really like the word Cronenblender, by the way. I'm stealing that.

re: Division 1 as a single-player experience it owned, I loved exploring that environment and finding all the collectible story bits. It's probably better as a team thing but I got a good 20-30 hours of fun out of it.

Yeah to expand on this good and correct opinion: I think Division 1 has one of probably the best level/environment design of all time. I can't think of many games that entrench you in feeling like you are in a specific place and time in the same way, it's New York and it's winter and it's cold as gently caress. When the weather comes in it's even better, nightime with snow is magical as all the lights halo and try to pierce through the fog cover as snow falls or is blown, needle like, into your face. And the map is full of character, there are little stories everywhere completely played out with little props and buildings.

An example: among all the devastation and chaos along a riverbank I found a little spot set up with a blanket, some food, and two wineglasses next to an empty bottle. "Who would picnic in the winter?" you think as you walk closer. At the very edge of the concrete quay there are two pairs of shoes, neatly tucked together next to the frozen water. And then you remember it's the end of the world.

only problem with soloing division 1 is that if you're underleveled enemies take forever to go down. so you end up having to do the less fun non-story quests that are super boring just to stay on level

the other problem is that it's made by a publisher cool with groping and choking people

I don't think that's nearly as bad as century-old post-apocalyptic posed skeletons. Considering the situation, it feels like something you might actually realistically run into.
