If you have such brain rot that you still refuse to use a password manager, spending thousands to re-buy your library may seem reasonable. Don't lose your valuable digital stuff to an easily solved problem, people.

Oxxidation posted:guess what just had its newest story mode update The single feature for that game I really want is the ability for custom song packs to have some kind of organization beyond 'alphabetical sort.' There's so many quality ones, with like recommended song order or difficulty categorization, but playing those needs a little cheatsheet or guide next to you.

Gave Lunacid a couple hours and don't really get it. The sense of exploration is nice, but I find the combat pretty tedious. I assume it gets more complex and tougher as the game goes on. I can completely respect and appreciate it as an ode to King's Field, just perhaps that isn't really for me in 2023.

One thing that helps is that by boosting intelligence a lot of the spells become insta-cast. I got through most of the EA end levels by spamming lightning and fairies (whom are OP).

Never lose or forget any password again, you can even save your WiFi password or 2FA tokens there (though less secure than having it saved elsewhere, it’s better than no 2FA). There are apps for all kinds of devices and you can have auto fill even on mobile.

Impressions of Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered after six hours of playing: not bad, not bad. Very cinematic, great character design and animations. Mary Jane is cute as hell. It took me a while to get the hang of swinging around the city, but it's a lot of fun now that I'm used to it. I've also become competent enough at the combat that I rarely ever die, which is good enough for me. Negatives: forced stealth, as part of the main storyline no less. That's a big no-no. Additionally, it seems to be a collect-a-thon type of game, and my broken brain is going to make me collect/do every single optional thing or cheevo far beyond what would be needed to get the upgrades I actually want. One could argue that that's on me, but I prefer to blame the game. A fun experience so far, we'll see if the rest of the playthrough holds up as well.

There's no equivalent of the riddler trophies in the Arkham games, most of the collectibles and optional missions will only have a dozen or so instances and you can clear it 100% without much grind.

Gone Rogue on sale for a few more days under $10. How does it compare to say, Shadow tactics. Looks good but haven't really found a good non early review. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1803600/Gone_Rogue/  Also debating I Am Future, also on sale. $11 early access game, pretty sure I know how it will turn out, but its cheap. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1658040/I_Am_Future_Cozy_Apocalypse_Survival/

I just finished Spiritfarer and would like to thank my newly five year old daughter for accidentally wrecking me right at the finale. She'd been sitting with me on and off as I played because she liked the animal characters and that she could easily control Stella walking around the boat and jumping around freely. So we get to the very last bit of the game, where Stella is preparing to go to the Everdoor herself and the ghosts of all her friends and family appear to see her off. My daughter knew we could hug characters so she asked me to go hug everyone, which I was happy to oblige. Then as we get on the rowboat, just Stella and Dafodil, she quietly says "Everyone deserves a hug before the end." Of course she meant the end of the GAME, which I'd told her was coming up, but obvs there's a double meaning when you've been playing a game about death for the last few days and good god did it make the whole thing hit harder. Yes I cried. Game good. Anyway I feel like this is a Patrick Klepak Parent Gaming post but I wanted to share.

Yeah, that's the impression I'm getting too. Getting all of the Landmarks seemed daunting at first, but I quickly realized you can take pictures from as close or as far as you want, and it doesn't matter if it looks like absolute dogshit. I've almost done them all and it didn't even take that long.

This seems to be the closest thing we have to a recommend a game thread, and I wondered if anyone could help me. I don't have access to my gaming PC at the moment (not due to rehab) and my current laptop's specifications are: Processor: Intel(R) Celeron(R) N4020 CPU @ 1.10GHz Installed RAM: 4.00 GB (3.83 GB usable) Graphics card: Haha, yeah right. I've just enjoyed playing Moonring on it, with only small performance issues (I think when a scan was running in the background). Basically, I wondered if there were any similar new-ish games that I would be able to run? Open for literally anything, really just want something to relax with in the evening. Thanks!

Chrome is a hungry beast and that's what the Steam client is made of. One of my favorite puzzle games to run forever is Everyday Genius: SquareLogic. It's chill and it's ancient, so it will run on that machine easily.

I don't know why it was gone, but the last time I played it alt-tabbing made the game freeze/crash and it saved none of the progress you made since you actually quit the game. So nostalgia havers, beware.

So nostalgia havers, beware. It was gone temporarily due to publisher issues. Alt-tabbing doesn't freeze the game for me in either of my computers (old and newer, Windows 7 and 10). I generally have some TV show running while playing that game, and often alt-tab to put a different episode/skip ahead with no issues.

Have like 4 achievements left but dunno if I care to replay on ultimate in NG+ any time soon or try and do an enemy base w/o damage.

Thanks all for the recommendations! I was looking for in RPG/adventure game territory, but I will gives the puzzlers a try as well! I've also been through my own Steam library and found UnderRail, which I think has a chance of working. If not, I will give Nox Archaist a blast. FishMcCool posted:Behold, the official Recommend me a game thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3196783 Ah, I knew one would be somewhere! I will post a more targetted response. Saoshyant posted:I'm fascinated Steam would even work on those specs anymore. Chrome is a hungry beast and that's what the Steam client is made of. I didn't know Steam was made of Chrome! Moonring did chug a bit in places, and I had to be sure to close down literally any other application to have it work but it does! I can have Steam open and stream Twitch/Youtube fine on it as well. MarcusSA posted:Is game streaming an option?

What's currently the best way to pipe Steam games to your TV in another room? I've had a Steam Link for years but man it kinda sucks and has always sucked. My PC, TV, and Steam Link are etherneted but it's still a pretty unpleasant experience overall, even when working

Just remove the square block below the hole, flip the L counter clockwise once, and put it down at the bottom. Then flip the Z block above the hole once, and put it on the right side. Then finally put the square block in the remaining hole.

This is kind of an OCD thing to complain about, but the Wishlist button in the top right corner of the Steam client is showing the incorrect number of games. It's saying 6, but in reality I only have five games wishlisted. Anyone know how to fix this?

 The police have arrested dangerous criminals from the neighborhood and sent them to jail. During their time in jail, one of them was a witch who casted a spell to shrink many police officers to the size of an ant. The tinies now need to get a giantess police woman's attention before it's too late.

Alright, I found what the problem was. Apparently I had a game wishlisted that was no longer available on Steam, so it didn't show up. In my case it was Betrayer (which I don't remember wishlisting at all): https://store.steampowered.com/app/243120/Betrayer/ I found out which game it was by following the instructions in this post: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/SteamClientBeta/discussions/0/2860219962094793792/#c3216031607508358293 I wonder why it's no longer being sold, looks like it had decent reviews. e: although not from critics, apparently Phlegmish fucked around with this message at 07:32 on Nov 7, 2023 |

Also lately coming across a lot of games that the Augmented Steam extension shows me this game was super cheap at X store previously through isthereanydeal, but when I go there and look it seems that game has been taken off all stores except for steam. Making it pointless. Is Steam paying companies to pull their games from other stores or giving them better deals?
