Sigh.

So I got Steelrising via Humble this month.

It's almost aggressively bland for a game about clockwork automatons in 18th ct. France. I mean, it's playable, but...

There is no reason for this game to eat 60gb of my HD space. There is no reason why this game only should run on the lowest graphics settings on a midline gaming laptop released after the game came out.

It feels like they're trying to decorate a turd. This doesn't have the substance to need these specs.

New Games I played this week:

Junk Drawer - fit the items in the drawers according to the scorecard to gain points. Quick and simple. I like this.

Comic Hunters - Draft to collect sets of comics to score points. I liked the various ways to get the comics and the decision on which collections to make.

Ich habe nun endlich Disco Elysium nachholen und durchspielen können. Ein wunderbares Spiel mit tollen Geschichten und Ideen. Das Lesen und Zuhören, sowie das Rätseln haben unglaublich viel Spaß gemacht. Kann ich, wie so ziemlich jede andere Person die es gespielt hat, nur empfehlen.

Das Spiel läuft wunderbar auf dem ROG Ally und ohne das Teil, hätte ich es wohl auch nicht mehr gespielt. Coole Sache. #rogally #gaming #discoelysium

Goodness. People are fucking weird sometimes….

It's , so here's my favorite Donkey Kong Country song out of any I've heard (and one of my top favorite pieces of music in any video game, EVER) - a fully restored version of 'Mining Melancholy'. Check out those choral voices!

The Philippines is a conservative Catholic-majority nation, and many queer folk there feel excluded by the traditional church. They're turning to Roblox Filipino Catholics (RFC) as a more inclusive place where they can practice their faith. @restofworld's Patrick Kho spoke to queer Catholics about how they're finding community, preserving heritage, and even changing minds in this new space.

I hit RoboCop Rogue City hard on release. It's very slow but I found it to be incredibly faithful to the original film franchise, and great fun overall.

Looking back at it today and it's such a dark and gritty trip to old Detroit city.

I'm at a point where I REALLY REALLY REALLY look forward to #Paralives

Life By You, which sounded good at first, just look... weird with an exceptionally ugly art style*. Also seeing how Cities: Skylines made me... not buy it with all its problems I'll stay away.

*Honestly the art style look like amateur made porn games.

Wondering about popular original open source games awhile ago. Part of the wonder was that despite being more accessible in terms of cost, and sometimes in hardware requirements, it doesn't seem as though you see as much fan art, fiction, or discussion.

Wonder how much of that may relate to many of the more well known open source games being clones or, more simply, fan games in their own right.

Busy Time with World of Warcraft
WoW offers the exact amount of effort I seem to want to put into an activity when I get bored, and as someone who considers the game an acquaintance and not really a friend, I'm OK with this.

When people say " isn't there yet" what they really mean is "I haven't used linux to play games in well over 2 years now" cause Linux gaming has been a thing for a while now. I don't even check to see if games are linux compatible anymore, I just buy and browse like normal and expect everything to work. Things that dont work are the extreme minority.

Do you also have this one game everyone appreciates as a masterpiece but you somehow don't get the point and lack the extraordinary fun while playing it? 🤔

So, please but mine is Metal Gear Solid for PS1. Played it a couple of years ago the first time but stopped after a few hours. Maybe it was too hard or I'm lacking the required childhood memories, but I had more fun playing Splinter Cell back in the days.

Which one is yours?

I really recommend picking this one up, if you ever played any of the previous titles or just like or rather and type games.

Not sure?

I got a playlist for the original campaign:

So I started Steelrising and... do I get this right that I can have an English voice option but French only for subtitles?

Considering the place it's set in that feels a bit wrong.

Pause to reflect on the controls of Defender, recognized as totally bananas in 1981, let alone today.

A 2D game where you move your ship up/down/left/right, except:

Moving up and down is easy - that's what the joystick does. But that's all! It’s a one-dimensional lever.

Moving left or right is… less easy. The Thrust button pushes you in the direction you're facing. To turn around, slap Reverse, and your entire POV on the playfield flips around the Y axis. Haha!
