If you try it and like the general concept and writing but find a lot of things (difficulty curve especially) jacked up, just know that Sunless Skies improves on all that substantially. Seas is good but Early Access really did a number on it.

Like Xander said, it's just from the Reddit thread. I've never been able to figure out where they originate from though - there's enough sites sharing them that it's pretty impossible to pinpoint a source.

The Hero of the Kingdom series is pretty great, too. They're sort of isometric adventures with cyoa and resource management elements. 1/2 and The Lost Tales are all good, but 3 upped the combat and grind and suffered for it.

Heads up, apparently Prime games are no longer accessible through the Twitch app, Amazon Games is now the top dog. Having to download all these storefronts for free poo poo is one thing, and obsoleting them & forcing me to download a new one is another thing, but not letting me choose where to install my free games apart from which drive? That's just going too far! I'm a caveman who likes using and keeping an organized file system, and Amazon demanding I install prime freebies outside of D:/Games/Free_dogshit/whocares is an affront to my aesthetic sense. I demand satisfaction.

e; I guess this is a staggered rollout that started a couple months ago, so not everyone is being denied by the Twitch app yet but everybody will have to switch eventually.

Thankfully the Amazon Games app seems quite a bit less bloated than the old Twitch app, and the games seem to be DRM-free? I can run them without a launcher open now, at any rate.

Being able to remove curse(yes, twitch desktop wasn’t even made by twitch) completely compensate another game software, that poo poo was cumbersome and took a shitton of ram/cpu just to load a video feed. The new app is stupid light by comparison

For the free Big Fish game, any recommendations? Particularly if I want to play a time management game?

Baby Proof
May 16, 2009

What type of time management game? You've usually choosing between the Diner Dash ( serving customers ) style or the strategy-lite Roads of Rome / 12 Labors of Hercules type, plus a bunch of variations (Airport Mania, Build-a-Lot). If you're just looking for a nostalgia fix, there's a good chance that whatever game you used to play is still on there too.

I tried a few of the Hallmark-story GameHouse games that people were recommending. Not the most engaging gameplay - you mostly need to grind a bit to pass the higher skill levels (or there's some actual strategy to these games that I'm totally overlooking). Hotel Ever After was a recent one that worked well and didn't last too long. I'm currently playing Heart's Medicine: Doctors Oath but there's a zillion levels to go through and I doubt I'll finish.

Trying to enter a free code on Big Fish Games, and either a misclick or a glitch caused the system to charge me via paypal. No confirmation screen, no nothing. I mean, it's just 7$, but the principle of the thing!

Contacted support and they automatically sent me a code, which isn't much of a condolence, but...

I rather like the Gamehouse Diner Dash clones:

https://list.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_GameHouse_Original_Stories

(Sally's Saloon \ Emily's Childhood Memories are the first games that can be found on Big Fish).

Older games are slower, newer games are a lot more streamlined but may require grinding for upgrades. Message in a Bottle and Highschool Reunion are pretty good games to start with.

I dunno if that's universal or if I just stole a single-use, but thanks! One day I'll have all of those drat mystery case files.

I've never entered any payment relationship with Big Fish, so I know if they're asking for my credit or paypal info I'm probably doing the free code wrong somehow.

Reviewed this a while ago. tl;dr - probably worth getting for free.

"It's an FMV game that consists of a series of QTE's interspersed with attempts at quirky meta-humor. The acting quality... in short, is pretty awful, not even in a fun way.

A few of the gags actually managed to land, and the game is decently reactive - there are a few key choices you make that get referenced again, and that's kinda cute. You don't get game overs, you just restart right from the failure point, generally just seconds away from the death, which is absolutely the right way to go.

The two main issues: the game is 40 minutes long(and that's after I saw every single death scene) and the camera has an unhealthy interest in the floor and blank sections of wall. Right as the game starts, you get attacked by a not!Zombie, and you have a phone conversation with someone. Throughout the conversation, the camera is fixated on a beige wall, with nothing on it. Apparently both of these are fairly popular complaints, as the "I didn't enjoy this game" options include "too short" and "camera too high" (haha).

Definitely not worth 4$. Maybe an XBLIG sort of 1$ game."

The free content is always free and is basically mandatory btw. New units for factions ported over from the previous game.

As far as the paid DLC factions go, I'd rank them probably Israel > Yugoslavia+Finland > Netherlands. Israel in particular has some really good/unique units that can absolutely kill in MP.

It's a good RTS (if you ignore naval) but general chat is 100% a horrifying racist cesspool. It's completely unmoderated :psyduck:

Somewhat less so in-game in my experience, there just seems to be people who literally only boot the game up to spam racial slurs and swastikas in a seven year old RTS game's general chat.
