It was ugly, broken, and unfun. The one I made is better looking, was actually playtested, and fun, if a bit of a frantic bullet hell mess.

While not a single vertex or linedef has been copied it heavily references the original with centralized health and resource starvation, more hitscan than you'd like, and a gross joke except that my map has a different gross joke. Until it uploads on /idgames, you can get it from my share drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Jb1pybWkiqcTjyeLbrLlQGhnIvtDDhhe/view?usp=sharing You'll need a boom compatible client, like PRBoom+ or DSDADoom. It's completable on GZDoom, but one of the map features doesn't work properly in that engine.

Doom was my first PC game, my dad brought it home on a floppy disk shortly after it came out and I was hooked. I'm mostly unimpressed by big AAA games these days but there have been a handful in the past few years that have blown me away. Death Stranding was pretty surreal to play during the pandemic lockdowns, but Kojima has always been a master at creating unique, endearing games. The FF7 Remake was perfect, pretty much every character was portrayed how I imagined they would be in my imagination. I'm glad they kept Cloud as the awkward goofy dude he was in the original game.

For my 6th birthday I got the worlds shittiest 6 button joystick, Doom, and a compilation disk called WARGAMES that had No Greater Glory, Pacific Islands, and four other games that I was never able to make work. Very formative.

Detoured to Cult of the Lamb (EXCELLENT base builder / dungeon crawler which y'all should get), but I'm still working through Freespace 2 fan-made campaigns that I seemed to have missed a few years ago. Having a blast with probably my fourth run of the best space game ever made, but about 7-10 campaigns I've never touched or simply don't remember. Toying around with the idea of a mini-effortpost on how to set all the poo poo up, since I had to trial-and-error some stuff as some of the campaigns are years old by now and don't react well to the updates. Would y'all be interested? Caveat: I'm a joysticker

Every so often I put down video games. I get in moods where I want to see an actual thing from all my wasted free time. Been hammering my resin printer and air brush setup to finally finish my Warhammer 40k army I started in early to mid '90s. ......and ok yeah also playing Against The Storm and the new Rimworld DLC. These bases won't build themselves.

IMHO table top gaming counts as gaming too. I collected and painted both Warhammer Fantasy and 40k in middle and high school. I'd like to get into it again but I'd also like to find folks to play D&D for the first time since I was in third grade. Only time I've ever played D&D was when my parent's friend's teenage son would babysit us elementary schoolers by having us play D&D while he was the dungeon master.

I have 1200+ hours in Warhammer 2, I'm up to 269 in Warhammer 3 now. Most of it is since Immortal Empires was released lol. Dark Elves are still my favorite faction, their roster lets you play extremely aggressively which suits my play style. Tzeentch is my favorite of the WH3 factions though.

It's funny because I was a cavalry officer in the Army but cavalry factions in Total War never clicked with me. Always irritated me that I would charge my cavalry into the enemy and I'd try to pull them back out for another charge but there would always be like one model stuck on the enemy that would keep the rest of the unit from withdrawing. Definitely super satisfying to get in a good charge though. It's also satisfying to play factions with some kind of corruption and seeing how the campaign map changes appearance as your empire grows. It's why I like playing as Morathi, you get to spread Slaanesh corruption while using the Dark Elf roster.

Back in Shogun 2 Total War you could hold down alt while ordering them to disengage and they would leave the stragglers to fend for themselves while the main group went full speed towards their new location. I haven't played around much in the Total Warhammer series, but it might be worth trying.

An extremely nerdy pandemic hobby I took up in 2020 was board games. Jumped into the deep end right away with Mansions of Madness, which a huge rear end box of monsters, cards, cardboard tiles and a gazillion tokens. Very fun cooperative action-investigation-mystery type game, also tough as nails.

Still playing Fallout 76 and Farm Sim 22. Periodically trying out other gamepass games. Bought Farcry 3 classic edition on a whim on an xbox sale for $3, played an hour yesterday, probably jump into it again this weekend. Really depends on my mood, and mood lately has been setting up production chains on Farm Sim 22 while making dumb large fields. Thinking about working on the pizza production chain next.

Finished Prey, it was good. Currently trying to finish Yoshi’s Island for the first time on Switch, still as charming as ever. Had a playstation plus pass for a few months so gave some other ones a try: -Tony hawk: as good as ever -Stray: it’s fun to be a cat -Detroit: Become Human: I liked it although there are some very clunky android rights being compared to Black rights moments that aged poorly the last few years (why would this society not let androids use human only escalators?), although didn’t feel like a total dealbreaker. And the overall story and exploration is excellent. -Ghost of Tsushima: I’m sure it’s good I just bounced off it as didn’t feel like committing to whole open world.

Been playing a bit of Fortnite with my kid and my nephew, zero build mode is pretty cool.

I think I might be getting into Star Wars: Squadrons, getting dim flashbacks to X-wing vs TIE here. I'm a total sucker for these kinds of games (somebody said Freespace 2 earlier, and damnit if I didn't go look at, and be sorely tempted by, what the modding community has been up to lately). If there's anything holding back my enjoyment, it's just how floaty the controls are with m+kb, though that might just be because my memories of Freelancer are still freshish. Still has me weighing the cost/benefits of digging out and finding space for my HOTAS setup.

Still has me weighing the cost/benefits of digging out and finding space for my HOTAS setup. It was worth breaking out the HOTAS for that game. I miss it, but it fell out of everyone’s attention about the same time the devs moved on and stopped patching it. That time was after all the boost exploits/borderline glitches were known. Remember Rogue One at Scarif, where the X-Wing approached an ISD from approximately 11o’clock and took out the shield generator? That move is possible in Squadrons, just make sure you’re under the shield before firing your weapons  This scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-MkYpRO-cU&t=112s My other favorite builds for ship destruction were all-ion stealth interceptors. Stealth hull, cloaking device, and whichever of the ion ordnance you didn’t need a lock to fire. Skirt the boundary at the top of the map where people never look for anyone, dive behind the engines of the ISD, and unload into the power generator with everything you’ve got. Should take care of it in one pass. Against the MC-75, you could do something similar with an interceptor, but you’re diving straight down the ventral spine (towards where the command deck is), looking for their power generator. It was always a tougher kill than the ISD version, the window to fire is narrower and your number of approach angles is wayyy smaller. Either way, once you pull it off you can fly away cackling like Blue Leader after acing an ATAT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r58E1NHk_w4&t=115s Icon Of Sin fucked around with this message at 15:52 on Dec 6, 2022 |

Death Stranding Directors cut, Elden Ring, and Ghost of Tsushima are great on PS5. Witcher 3 will also have a remastered version on PS5 next week. God of War Ragnarok is great too, but mainly for the story and graphic quality. The combat is good but the rest of the gameplay feels dated. Still lots of great PS4 games too, if you've never had one of those before.

yeah death stranding for sure, it'd play fantastic on ps5. other than that in terms of exclusives its slim pickings. also yeah anything you missed out on for ps4, which has a pretty decent library available. if you already have a ps4 you can stream the ps5 gameplay to it on a second tv or something.

just know with death stranding you're supposed to not understand anything for the first 6-8 hours on purpose. its a slow burn of a game but just some incredible visuals and acting also kojima made easy mode for his assistant. She's supposedly so bad at games that she cant even beat a board of pac man. Kojima made it easy enough for her to beat.

Kojima hits me in that same weird dead spot as Tig Notaro or Sriracha. People whose opinion I generally respect seem to love them, but I don't understand the appeal, like at all. I have a PS4 so the only things I'd be looking for are games I didn't already have.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is also amazing on PS5, very impressive visually. FFVII was my first RPG way back in the 90s, the remake perfectly creates these characters and setting the way I imagined them in my mind with better graphics and voice acting.
