You cheated not only the game, but yourself.
But most of all, you cheated BABA

Just finished a test, sat down to look at what I picked up from the Humble Bundle, opened up TIS-100, ignored the manual to just look at the game, and

no. Not yet. I'll work on you later, TIS-100. You look fun to figure out, but also seriously no.

(Oh it's by the SpaceChem guys, oh dear. Same as Infinifactory - I never made it far in SpaceChem, but I enjoy throwing myself up against the wall on these puzzles, so I'm glad to have them.)

It looks interesting but I don't understand how you can have enough time and resources to make an entire tie-in audiobook but not enough to add functioning achievements. Especially for a game with so much emphasis on the free play mode.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.

I will once it's on sale. I've had my eye on it for a while but $20 is a smidge beyond what I want to pay for it. $15 would be my sweet spot, $10 and maybe the OST is good for Black Friday.

I've had TIS-100 for a while and I loved Spacechem, so I've constantly been tempted to dive in, but I don't have a printer and I never remember to seek one out to print the manual. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow while the office is mostly empty.

Here peeps, have some Steam codes that are worth $.01

Do as thou wilt.


Also, as a side question for people who have used Humble Bundle often, would I have been better served clicking on the Redeem on Steam button even though the game is already in my library? It gives a warning about not being able to gift to a friend, but in retrospect that's kind of silly, right? Would it just give me a Steam code I could have posted here instead of the links, and are the codes preferable or better etiquette than the gift links? I'll take my answer off the air.

Yeah, it just gives you a steam code. Up to you which you prefer to post, though.

Well, one you probably knew considering I said Incineroar.

Two, the final evo was my motive for going with Litten because we don't have enough wrasslin lookin pokemon.

Three. it's goddamn Z move is summoning a goddamn wrasslin ring and the jumping off the turnbuckle and slamming the opponent into a firey explosion oblivion.

After solving the first set of puzzles in Infinifactory (terribly), I've realized that it's essentially 3D SpaceChem. Which is...hmmm. I didn't get far in that game, but let's see how far I get when I'm eager to read more failure logs.

The final evo for Rowlett is ghost/grass which I thought was really cool typing but now I see that there's another ghost grass that is an actual giant, angry tree so maybe I need to rethink things...

For a buck? Yeah. Probably my personal puzzle GoTY and I'm not even a programmer or anything (though I do like logic puzzles a bit). I beat Mole Mania this year so that's not faint praise. It'd be up there for general GoTY, but Kirby Planet Robobot.

Good to hear! I'm looking forward to cracking into it when my brain isn't fried.

Fortunately Dragon's Dogma requires little in the way of actual thinking and I've completed several sidequests today, so hurrah!

My wife is possibly on a campaign to get me a Playstation 4 for my birthday. I'm looking forward to Bloodborne, Until Dawn (don't spoil this for me, I want to do a blind playthrough and I might even try to stream it), Dragon Quest Builders, the Final Fantasy 7 remake, which I will play even though it is a cash cow released in parts, and plenty of others I had never thought about until now because I hadn't considered the possibility that I might own a Playstation 4.

nioh and yakuza 0, and gravity rush 2, and horizon and p5 in the first 90 days of 2017 and dragon quest builders right now and *passes out from win*

way to release like 3 times as many big exclusives as you have in the last 3 years in a 5 month period i guess.

My mission over the past several days has been to get a use out of each expansion pack for The Sims 3. To that end, I had my blue dude (made with third-party skin tones) travel to SimChina and seduce a local lady so he could marry her back home and breed. And he succeeded in that respect.


That boy ain't right.

I was going to pick Rowlet until Incineroar won me over by being a heel wrestler with a heart of gold

Popplio had too much competition unfortunately, but the entire line is lovely

Yeah, they're suddenly killing it. It's gonna be good if it works out. I'll have lots of games to play.

Is Far Cry Primal worth the u$14 it's going for in the PSN store y/n. I've played and liked every Far Cry game (except for the godawful Wii one), but I'm not sure how good the gameplay would be if you removed the firearms.

Eh.

Far Cry Primal has a neat concept but the actual gameplay is "Far Cry 4 with less content." It plays almost identically to FC4 (including the map being very similar) but in exchange for vehicles/guns/choppers/ect you get the ability to order an animal to attack instead of having to throw meat.

If you want more Far Cry 4 it'll scratch your itch but it genuinely feels like a Blood Dragon style spinoff they forced to a full length game. $14 is about right for it if you're okay with that.

I've been dividing my NES Classic time between Megaman 2, Metroid, Super Mario Bros 3, Star Tropics, Legend of Zelda, and Kid Icarus.

That last game I had no taste for as a kid. It's in dire dire need of checkpoints, and fortresses are neat but way too byzantine. However, for some reason there's a certain charm to it now. I am still trying to navigate the first fortress, but it's engaging.
