That’s great unless you have to use Chrome, where per recent testimony they intentionally made history-recall in the “Awesomebox” worse because it was reducing searches and ad impressions.

Everything you've done in the game should be carried over from the Origin version. That's what happened when I played Jedi Fallen Order via EA's subscription system and then purchased it later on Steam.

I’m not sure exactly why, but you sold me on this little game. So far it runs at a flawless 60 fps at the very lowest power settings on my Steamdeck.

Holy poo poo, I didn't even know Disgaea 7 was a thing. 6 was the last I had heard about and promptly ignored. Welp, I didn't need that money, or to finish all those other games I'm middle of anyway. :negative:

It's not even new news after hearing about the Switch being underwhelming. Probably a good thing they are remaking MGS3 at the same time.

I do remember Gigantic. I also remember Gigantic never got more than a few thousand players ever and was a complete failure financially, so that’s certainly an interesting choice.

It really fell under the radar after how badly 6 was received. I forgot I wishlisted it however long ago when I happened to have heard its announcement, then I just got a Steam email saying an item on my wishlist was now available and was like :monocle:

God I wish I was into Disgaea. In theory it has everything I like, but I already refunded. It's not even the anime/story/tone, I just can't get into the "embark from 1 point, throw everything, whole team goes at once".

Eh.
i had avoided cancelling and just kept pausing for such a long time because i thought, surely there'll be a good month eventually. i've only claimed one choice bundle this year (June). i think it's time i gave it up

two announcements today:
- Scene Investigators comes out Oct 24th (Painscreek Killings dev)
- The Boomerang X studio has shut down due to lack of funds

e: i'll maybe make a post about this month's releases tonight or tomorrow

Whole team very much does not have to go at once, you can Execute individual actions or groups of actions, allowing you to not over-commit to any single target. Unless you mean the whole "I take my full turn, computer takes its full turn"

Disgaea 6 never clicked for me, I liked the other games but something about 6 letting your characters get into the triple digit levels immediately kinda killed any motivation I had to keep playing, even though I know they just stuck 2 extra zeroes onto everything

Same. Seemed like my dream game as a kid who absolutely loved FFT - an srpg with thousands of hours of gameplay. But it never really connected for me.

The cheapest Metal Hellsinger has been is $15 so it seems like for $12 Metal Hellsinger can, in fact, save the bundle.

Man
I tried to skip humble choice last month, but apparently missed a checkbox or something somewhere, because I got charged anyway. This month is lookin' like trash, too. Metal Hellsinger is good, but I already have it.

Guess it's time to cancel altogether.

I spent way too much money on games this year (bought a steam deck, an OLED switch, and last week, a whole new desktop). My goal for 2024 is going to be to spend zero dollars on games, and get through some backloggin'

My prediction is I won't make it past February.

e: Lords and Villeins does look at least interesting enough to go on my "I intend to play that someday" list, but eh, the last several months have been pretty lackluster to me.

I swear this happened to me last month too, and one time before that. Didn't raise a fuss because a family member wanted a couple of last month's games anyway, but I took screenshots of my cancellation and the email confirmation just to be sure this time.
