Since completing Sunset Overdrive (recommend it if you have haven't dabbled). I've played and completed Pneuma: Breathe of Life (some great and some frustrating puzzles) and The Walking Dead - Michonne (another great Telltale game)

 

Current playing through Valiant Hearts and Steep. 

Stuck in the doldrums. Guess I'm part waiting for Deadfire, Can't get interested in anything, so still jumping around some MMOs. Doing WoW now. Might do Senua soon. I've downloaded and uninstalled a dozen games in the past couple of weeks, after finishing Far Cry 5.

Valiant Hearts was a nice little game, specially the story they put together, just a bit short overall is the only issue I had with it.

It's about 4-5 hours, from what I ready, which was about the length of the CoD SP campaigns when I last played. :p So it's pretty good when you look at it like that. ;)

Hmm, I guess it's been a while since I posted here.

 

I started Until Dawn the other week. It was kinda slow to get in to, but now that people are getting bumped off due to my potentially poor decisions (sorry about the buzzsaw to the abdomen, Josh) I'm enjoying it more.

 

I've also been jumping in to Fortnite. But good lord, they don't take any prisoners. I came 6th last night, but I think that was down to luck more than anything. :laugh:

Currently playing Far Cry 5 (both by myself and helping my friend in coop, so double the Crying!) and having fun with it. Also enjoy the arcade stuff in there. Wish more people playing online though on the PC, I can never seem to get into a game there.

 

Also continuing to play Hero Siege here on PC (its on Android and maybe iOS also). I have like 500 hours in that game by now. Fun little top down hack and slash looter/rogue-lite kinda game. Tons of classes (most are DLC, but its pretty cheap per character I believe) and even has multiplayer support for up to 4 players.

 

Also still playing Dungeon Defenders II, Ni No Kuni II and Deep Rock Galactic (all on PC naturally, don't have a console these days) and a small bit of CoD WW2 MP still.

So finished Valiant Hearts last night. 

 

Such a good game, it's been a long time since I actually felt invested in the characters or story. I'm starting to realise that the stuff that isn't considered AAA is far better than the same rehashed sequel every year!

I've been playing Skyrim: Special Edition on PC.  I don't mod, at least not yet because I haven't done everything I want to do, I'm just really into the Elder Scrolls lore.  I finished the main storyline once on Playstation 3 way back in the day, so this time I've been doing side quests, and over the past week or so when I have time to play I've been doing the "Dragonborn" DLC.  I figured it would be maybe a couple of hours tops of an interesting little side story, but no, it's almost an entire game completely unto itself with its own island and everything.

Day of the Tentacle

Grim Fandango

i assume, those are remakes? I really enjoyed both. Grim Fandango more so. Day of the Tentacle was great as it was already, so I just replayed it quickly. Grim was somewhat of a new experience, since I never managed to complete the original.

Finished PoE 2. Will wait for more DLC/content before replaying it, though I definitely will.

 

Unexpectedly got back into Anarchy Online for now.

 

For the life of me, I can't manage to even start The Witcher 2. I want to. I love RPGs and games in that style. I know there is a good story and solid gameplay waiting. I just... I must've played through the tutorial and intro 10 times. I've tried controller and mouse and keyboard. I just can't... I don't know. I've never been so confused about why I'm not playing a game.

I just finished Uncharted 4. It took a couple of days, but it was worth every minute. The annoying thing is that the epilogue has now got me thinking about playing the trilogy again, imagining that it's Nathan and Elena telling their daughter about the experience. :laugh:

 

And I came 2nd in Fortnite the other evening. The problem with letting everyone else duke it out is that when it comes down to the final 10 you probably don't have equipment as good as they do. I need to find some kind of middle ground...

I played through the tutorial once and then gave up lol I've played others to death, but like you, I can't get into it. I'm pretty sure that it was a complaint of the first and 3 has supposedly made it way more accessible. 

 

Played through Limbo yesterday, one of the many games that I'd started but never finished. Another great little game, managed to pick up Inside before last week's Deals with Gold on Xbox ended. Looking foward to playing that one too.

Doom 3

 

Forgot how both good visually (for a 14 year old game) and not so good (game play) it is.  Also, I don't remember it being this long (seems like I've been playing it forever).

I recently got back into Titanfall 2. I'd almost forgotten how good the MP was. However, I'm now finding that it's taking longer and longer to match make :( 

 

May have to find something else to play.

It has been, I guess a year or more since I played the first Dead Space game on an HP laptop I had at the time.  I loved the game and had never played it on any of the consoles or anything when it was first released.  Since then I've been playing all kinds of things, but mostly games that don't require much focus since I work through the week and I'm usually pretty exhausted on the weekend.  Since I've got a 4-day weekend for labor day I figured now was as good a time as any to play through part 2, so I started that today.

 

Really fun game.  I'm playing it on PC but using an XBone controller so I can lean back in my chair with headphones.  It has a few different mechanics, like forcing you to pay attention and not shoot the windows out of rooms facing space, :p  It's an older game, but it still looks nice enough, especially considering its age, ?

 

One thing I did notice though, I tried enabling VSync in game and it capped the game at 30fps, even though I had it set to a 60hz resolution, so I had to turn off VSync in-game and enable it through my Radeon settings to get rid of the screen tearing (the game was hitting like 500+ fps) without having the game capped at 30fps.

Small update on my side, finished Rime last week, and just finished my playthrough of Oxenfree, both games I picked up on GoG for sale.    Oxenfree is fun, I really liked it and the story, and how it's actually forcing me to play it again but I don't know if I'll do a 2nd playthrough.   Don't know what I'll start into next, maybe I'll finally play RE7.

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off by Ivan Jenic The Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system is currently $239.99 on Amazon for the 2-pack, down from $329.99.

The 2-pack covers up to 4,000 square feet (372 square meters) and supports 100+ connected devices, which handles the vast majority of home setups without breaking a sweat. Wi-Fi 6E brings access to the 6 GHz band for lower latency across the network, and the 2.5 Gb Ethernet port supports gigabit+ internet plans if your ISP offers them. eero's TrueMesh technology handles traffic routing automatically, so you're not manually managing which devices connect to which node.

If you're covering a larger home or want more nodes, the 3-pack is $329.99 and the 4-pack is $479.98, both at similar discount levels. It's worth mentioning that a newer model exists, which is likely the reason for the discount, but the Pro 6E is still perfectly capable hardware for most homes.
