Well shoot. I was hoping to give away the other key. I think I can probably still get the expansion pass from that one key but I probably will not get a giftable copy of the game.

drat, just read that Thick44 of the Neebs gaming crew died last week.
One day just collapsed and found out he had brain cancer, spiraled over 2 years.

Neebs does a lot of Lets Plays with the 5 man group.
I highly recommend their Subnautica one though Thick only had a smallish part in it.

Tainted Grail out today.
It is in early access as games are these days, supposedly made by 1 guy, or was, not sure if still.
I took the plunge and snagged it.
It is very much a non Bethesda Elder Scrolls game.
Combat feels fine, haven't really tried magic much though yet.
Spells are equipable, so its not like you get a ton at hand to use, though you can dual hand 2 at a time.


There is a wheel, but thats just to access your loadouts or 3 slotted consumables.
I would say that if you like Skyrim then its probably enjoyable.
It is pretty dark overall, but looks good.


There doesnt seem to be an option for gamma yet, or to change keybinds away from WASD.
Though he has said soon in the multiple threads asking.
Stuff like archery and athletics are leveled by using those skills.
So running and jumping like a madman is mandatory.
You start out at 5 str, 5 dex, 5 end etc and get a point on each level, plus a point for a perk, standard fare

One more demo tonight:



Demonschool (2023) - A big shiny indie RPG from Necrosoft Games (Hyper Gunsport and last year's big itch.io bundle) that wants to be indie Persona and it certainly has the style and splash. Although, I have a couple of thoughts. First yes, it looks gorgeous, I like the character portraits, full of personality. The music is really good. Pacing is very zippy and the transitions are slick.



This looks interesting to me, cant wait to see more.

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):

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

I came across this the other day, had like 3-4 games no longer available.
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?

Since this is the default PC games thread :pcgaming:, is there a Homeworld thread? I’m on a phone tonight, and GOG just sent me a code for like every Homeworld product like 97% off. I knew it was a decent game through other folks, and the discount made all the games/DLC <$5. I’ve watched a couple of YouTube videos, and I’m very happy with my purchase, but there’s no way to “Search” the forums on AwfulApp for iOS. I hope to download it when I get home, and will start with the Homeworld 1 remaster after downloading. I want to try them all un-modded at first, but are there any “must have” mods for like graphics or bug fixes/gameplay i should look up to start?

The Games Index thread says there is one for 3, probably good for all.

https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/24/23974420/ubisoft-assassins-creed-odyssey-pop-up-ad-xbox-playstation-technical-error

"Ubisoft is blaming a “technical error” for a fullscreen pop-up ad that appeared in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey this week. Reddit users say they spotted the pop-up on Xbox and PlayStation versions of the game, with an ad appearing just when you navigate to the map screen. “This is disgusting to experience while playing,” remarked one Reddit user, summarizing the general feeling against such pop-ups in the middle of gameplay."

"“We have been made aware that some players encountered pop-up ads while playing certain Assassin’s Creed titles yesterday,” says Ubisoft spokesperson Fabien Darrigues, in a statement to The Verge. “This was the result of a technical error that we addressed as soon as we learned of the issue.”"

The error is that they didnt mean to have it go live so soon.

I can’t wait to play this again. I like to give it a few version updates before hopping in. I think it’s been 2 versions, but it doesn’t quite feel *right* in terms of time yet. Steam says I played it last in Feb ‘22. How much has changed?

The next version would be a good place to jump back in, in a few months.
Biggest changes were that water is only generated in loot or in the new rain catcher making it much harder to get glue early.
Also the learn by reading, most recipes arent unlocked through perk points now, but putting points into shotguns will generate more shotgun books in loot and you need x/100 of those books to progress through the crafting chain.
