started the division 2 and it's p fun so far
my only complaint is that the HUD is hard to read for me and the options aren't really a great solution but eh

I think there are some make the text bigger options in there but I don't remember where. Some games just don't let you make the text bigger or the text biggening option doesn't affect all of the text.

Buttchocks: No, I like my hat, thanks.

I've been playing Castles and Kingdoms and holy poo poo is it addictive. I'll sit down to play for an hour and suddenly it's 5am. The city building is very solid, but I kinda wish there were more objectives or challenges or technology tree. There's no real end state other than "I'm bored now."

Goddamnit all I wanted to do was update my cc, and now I'm completely locked out of my playstation account. Had to reset the password for the google account associated with the playstation account, had to reset the password for the playstation account, and oops loving galaxy brain here didn't use his actual birthdate for that account, and it's not 4/20/1969, so gently caress knows what I used instead, and now I'm out of reset attempts for the next 24 hours. I'm going to have to buy playstation gift cards and top up my wallet with them. Again. This isn't the first time this has happened.

My birthday actually is 4/20 (not 69 though, younger) and though I don't do the weed, I still get a kick out of making a random stoner's day when it comes up like at the "we card everyone, or at least ask what your birthday is" convenience stores or wherever or however else it comes up.

"No really, you can check my license if you want, all I smoke is cigs, nothing against it though, I just stick to drinkin'!"

"Your birthday is 4/20? No way!"

"Yeah, I picked it myself"

"Really?"

"No you can't pick your birthday you're high as gently caress lol"

I had a morbid thought about Last of Us. Maybe Joel was right all along. Maybe he knew that a developed vaccine wouldn't ever be accepted because society has moved away from the age of science. Maybe there would have been misinformation saying that a vaccine would turn someone into a clicker. Or maybe vaccine control would lead to an imbalance of regional power.

I am overthinking this.

You open up steam and go to the Dashboard / Home page. Should be the default unless you changed it somehow (not sure if that's possible). That shelf should already be there but if it isn't you can add it

Finally back at my computer and not at work, here's mine.

The most recent one is Fire Pro Wrestling World with a custom cover image. I basically run a show in that game that I actually produce so it's my most recent game most of the time.

ZeroRanger is one I definitely recommend if you're into shmups, It's more than meets the eye and I keep coming back to that one.

It's really good! Loved the soundtrack too. I didn't beat the final final final ending but still enjoyed it a bunch. The very final ending has you wager your save file against the final boss and I did that twice unsuccessfully and didn't try again. After watching a vid the final bit doesn't look as hard as the boss before it but it's a lot of effort to redo multiple times.

I scummed it by backing up my save. Like a true gamer.

It's the one bad part in an otherwise fantastic game.

you are correct, and also i have modded the gently caress out of this so it's now just a nice way to turn my brain off and make some numbers happen

old post but i haven�t played for like 2 weeks now and feel better for it. there was some cool stuff but also way too much stupid garbage stuff. and there will never stop being stupid garbage stuff because ags is a trash tier studio driven by amazon middle management mentality

The division 2 is tons of fun. It's plays like a weird combination of battlefield and fallout 4, squeezed through the ubisoftinator. I love how varied the gun varieties are, and how you can swap between a bunch of loadouts depending on how you feel like playing and what the environment you're in is. I love the shotguns in particular. It's going to take me forever to get through though, since I have a patholical need to clear every sub mission in a map section before moving on to the next.

If you like map clearing the Division games are great for that. The endgame is also supposed to be fun if you like hardcore group stuff, but if you don't you can just not increase world tiers.

Is it first person only, or is third person view an option?
