Hard on the fence about jagged alliance 3. It looks like the kind of poo poo I'd love, but I'm still mugging through cyberpunk 2077 in chunks and pieces, and I'm historically a summer sale man

When's the summer sale start anyways

It was at the beginning of July.

what’s the best mod pack for Skyrim. I think I want to spend my weekend modding it, getting it to run, then uninstalling the way g*d intended.

I'm pretty pumped to spend my weekend hacking some retro handheld and loading it up with a bunch of roms and then putting it on a shelf and not touching it until I repeat the process in a couple years when the hacks have improved.

been playing Binary Domain. It is basically a Gears of War with a MGS4 Kojima Aesthetic with an invasion of the body snatchers story. It feels very C-SPAM.

edit: It is 2.99 on steam and apparently runs great on steam deck (I am playing it on Series X and it runs great).

The Yakuza studio made it. It rules.

Max Payne 3 is great, but Max Payne 2 might be my favorite shooter of all time and it is much less good than that one.

My wireless 360 started to drift after like 15 years, so i got a new Xbox one controller and it's already a little drifty, tch shameful display

Same. Most of my xbox controllers drift now. I've got the 8bitdo ultimate with the hall effect sticks and I really love it. That and the 8bitdo m30 with my analogue pocket and I'm set. I've become a shill for those guys even if I hate the fact that they don't have easily replaceable batteries.

There are like multiple 8bitdo ultimates and only one of them has hall effect sticks, so there is some ordering horseshit to deal with also.

I'm still having a lot of fun with my lovable idiot Ichiban, although I'm on Dondoko Island now and I've kind of stalled out because I don't love the island stuff but I don't want to leave before I finish it all.

I just got a dude on etsy to mod my switch lite for me.

I'm hopeful that once I've got android on it Moonlight will run well and I can have a smaller handheld than the steam deck to play in bed. Worst case scenario I can use it to play switch games.

Balatro is so drat good. I loaded it up for a "couple of minutes" and looked up at the clock like 6 hours later.

I can only really get wins with 2 pairs all the time as a strategy unless I get the joker that lets you make straights with gaps, but I'm going to make a flush deck work at some point

Does the Steam version of SMAC offer anything worth spending $5 on? I think my install might date back to the original discs that I've just carried from harddrive to harddrive through the ages

Almost all of the older games the gog version is the one you want because they generally have done a minimal amount of work to make them run on modern OSes (and it's on sale for like $2 there right now), but I don't know of any reason you particularly would not want the steam version for alpha centauri. I think it works fine.
