America's $1 Funnyman

From what I've heard, some games just use raw input, and some use the windows settings. So it seemed for steam's controller input stuff it could go either way. Testing it on and off with a controller I have not been able to tell at the moment.

if wolverine was trans and got bottom surgery would her dick just grow back? asking for a friend.

It depends pretty heavily on the writer. Sometimes he is just a dude who heals fast but is essentially mortal, sometimes he is a demigod who can lift cars and regenerate from being destroyed down to a single cell back into a complete person.

Therefore, if you want Wolverine to be trans with a schlong or no schlong or able to reorganize their genitals at will or whatever, you need only imagine it so ~~

Eh it’s hard to tell. Like I’m sure Jake would’ve made a kick rear end XCOM 3, but Firaxis seems like the kind of studio that has a number of people who’ve been there forever and can make something cool. Probably the guy who directed War of the Chosen, I’d guess.

XCOM 2 by the end seemed like the terminus of that particular style of game. Idk how they could do much better. So new ideas might end up not so bad anyway.

Soooo there's a new Settlers game https://www.thesettlers.com

and it just came out today

not on steam

and I don't even see any reviews up

I'm guessing this means 10/10 game

also totally unrelated I'm sure, but the original creator of the settlers just put the listing up for his new game on steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2155180/Pioneers_of_Pagonia/

Wasted time, wasted opportunity, wasted money, and some managers out there laughing at us idiot: The Settlers New Allies

What can I say. This game is a POS. Starting from unacceptable game launch issues: black screen for minutes when starting the game; no sound majority of time; inability to alt+tab, minimize etc., people in PVP pause the game suddenly hoping you will just quit, and if you do, they get automatic victory. Economy is nerfed as compared to games from 20+ years ago (I blame economically illiterate people who were making this game, probably they believe welfare is the economy cause things are getting made without crucial materials [water for example], food or tools in this game). The game is literally alpha at best, they are simply cashing in on the franchise and whoever approved this project and idea is a a complete scammer. There is no other way to describe the project managers of this game as scammers. Fraud.

I remember the game being lit up during its betas for being more like AoE than Settlers. They delayed it for awhile after that but idk if they fixed it. My guess is not.

Pharaoh: A New Era

Tried the new Pharaoh remake. I wasn't a particular fan, but that's more because I forgot how out of the old Impressions city builders the only one I really liked in more than a tentative capacity was Zeus. Steam seems to be hotly abuzz with arguments on changes to the military system (which are fair, it's been simplified quite a bit, but it also was the weakest part of the game anyway) and quality of life (a bit more mixed - does adding a global worker pool outweigh the loss of the minimap?), but the overall game is a pretty faithful adaptation. More than anything else, that might be the biggest strike against it - if you can run the old game and don't mind 25 year old graphics (which are still pretty good) it's probably just about as worth your while to buy the old game on GoG or Steam, especially since it seems to be on sale (including the expansion) on GoG for $4.99 (or $9.99 normally, which it also is on Steam) compared to the remake's $19.54 ($22.99 normally).

Even if it was a pasta, that's still a pretty good move: take the money for one (1) exclusive, have it be bunk/abandoned, use money to make good game, post it on steam for cheaper than EGS

My last, plaintive cry for Yi Xian: The Cultivation Card Game as a separate thread died about a month ago, but most people have still probably never heard of it and I still occasionally pop in and play a round so might as well plug it while I'm in a reviewing mood. Deckbuilding autobattler whose most common PvP mode is an 8 player round-robin brawl and whose PvE mode is just tough enough to be satisfying, even if the focus remains ranked PvP. The one big weakness is that while there is some flexibility in a card or two of your build, especially if you're in upper tiers of play and trying to counter an opponent's strategy, for the most part after a certain point in a match you reach the apex of your chosen archetype and settle for whatever spot you're going to get based on how the rest of the lobby built itself up. People claim the unlock system for sidejobs/characters is a big negative, but it really isn't. You get several for free, all of the characters are free in PvE, and the game's pretty generous with the non-cosmetic currency to unlock everything permanently just by playing. Ludicrously fun for $7.99, I still got a couple dozen hours out of it while I was in my "intense, sustained play" period.

Loom is an underrated classic that did the Ocarina thing from Zelda years before Ocarina, I just downloaded it on the deck to see how it handles and...not well, it seems. I don't own Maniac Mansion to check, but showing 'playable' leads me to believe it might be better. Sam and Max Hit the Road is a personal favorite of mine, but is straight up unsupported on deck.

I didn't realize you couldn't get the OG Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle, or Full Throttle anymore now that the remasters are out--or maybe those were never on steam to start with? Either way, that's a bummer, though the remasters are all pretty good (just not on sale!)

PoE and Warframe are pretty different games, can you narrow down exactly what it is you're looking for a bit?

Basically something you can watch or listen to something in another monitor. No real end, some form of co-op basically not solo but not pvp. I just don't like the complexity or grind of PoE or Warframe. Something you can kinda play and progress but doesn't have a million currencies/systems.

Destiny 2 is like a less obtuse Warframe if you enjoy Halo style fps. It still has some system bloat, which is kind of endemic to the whole live service model, but its at least at a level where normies can understand it

Hmm, usually I am the sort of person who really likes all the janky systems in these things, but...

I think Titan's Quest had a form of co-op, and it's sort of more directly in the Path of Exile ARPG lineage? But you sort of need somebody who's already committed to playing rather than just picking it up and finding people. Maybe try Deep Rock Galactic?

Sorry, I didn't see your thing about co-op. I haven't played Borderlands 3 and I think it's the only one of them with co-op. I don't think they're generally super grind heavy, though - games 1 and 2 didn't seem like it to me, at least.

I've been having a ton of fun with Deep Rock Galactic lately. Coop class based FPS with a good array of Difficulty options depending on your mood and skill level.

It's a little grindy in the sense that there are a lot of weapons to unlock for each class, but it's super fun so it doesn't feel like a chore or anything.
