It's Christmas in Kylieland, so Merry Xmas JaseC and Puncher and all other Aussies (and Kiwis and Pacific Islanders too I suppose!)
Still three hours to go here at the opposite end of the country, but I appreciate the gesture all the same. ;)

Makes me sad - I'd kill for a full-on NFL or NBA manager game. I'm super jealous of OOTP and FM players.
not all, its loooong. Funny tho and very out of place (in a good way)
I thought the OOTP team was supposed to be working on an NFL Manager game but I haven't heard anything in a long time.
Shame too as I know the ins and outs of American football more than any other team sport. But OOTP baseball is a fine alternative in the meantime (I'm dumb as a rock on soccer).

Well, it did answer my burning question of "Will there be lots of enemies?" :p
Oof Phoenix Point. I just did a mission where I was fighting a kind of creature that up to now threw tiny alien slugs at you that would blow up if they got close to you. Apparently that was too inefficient and now they just lob explosives from across the map. Two creatures killed half my team in one turn. Ouch.
It really is Celeste once again. Go home epic, you're drunk.
I'm kinda glad I put it on hold after two missions because it did not "click" for me. Will try it again next year.

These epic coupons require the game to be 14.99 minimum! Why didn't anyone force read me the fine print??
Re: the spoiler: you have to keep in mind that the first scenario of the game is loosely based on the LAST act of the 3rd book, "Metro 2035" . Except in the book Artyom had another Odysseus through the Zone before he got wind of what the Hanse has been doing, and (book ending spoiler)
he ends up an exile along with Ana in the very end. Miller buys into the lie even after the jamming stations are exposed and insists on putting them back up and keeping the Metro isolated, because the war is on again.
Naturally, this would no have made for a good game material, which is why 4A and Glukhovsky created the non-canon contrived scenario to send the Aurora and Artyom's merry band on their journey.
Exodus is an interesting game, because you get this mix of classic Metro levels with something that feels a lot more S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
So I picked up Dying Light: EE yesterday for $15. It's been on my Wishlist forever.
Fired it up and was disappointed to see that it was running around 40fps with settings maxed out. Seemed kinda strange for a game that's years old and I'm rolling with a 1080 GTX on my gaming laptop.
So I dialed back some settings but it still held at 40 fps. Boo.
Then I noticed that my laptop was unplugged and it was running off the battery.
Plugged it back and and everything shot to 120 fps locked. Maxed out all my vid settings again and it stayed at 120 fps locked.
LOL.

Spent almost 2 hours yesterday in the Arena on Endless mode in Darksiders Genesis.
Bailed out after 75 waves, once I got to 70K points and unlocked the bad-ass skin for War.
Nearly done with the game; unfortunately, of the story achievements on GOG appear to be busted- I beat every boss so far, but 2 of the main demons don't register as completed. A shame, since I basically have a completionist run aside from that- I even found and beat Wicked K.
Anyhow, gonna wrap up the story and then start backing up my C drive before re-building this rig.
My new plan is to play Resi2 before the end of the year to figure out whether I should take advantage of GMG's "save 25% on R3make pre-order" coupon before it expires at the end of the year.

I'm kind of in the same boat with some random money in my steam wallet. HALF-LIFE is a classic of course and Her Story is really cool too. Though, I own them both. What about Cthulhu Saves the World? I've heard good things.
just realized those games are actually $0.99 and i can't get her story or half life :( i was serching in steamdb in euros instead of dollars.
you think i'm an imbecile? already have portal 1 and 2.

Pretty impressive you were getting 40 frames, then! Battery putting in work.
Wanting a calm relaxing game is not weird. But is House Flipper like Peggle in that, it may be casual, but it will anger you more than any Sekiro ever could?
Yeah? I'm curious about the game, all videos I've seen make it look like a pretty chill experience. What about it is so stressful?
I've never heard of it, or seen any trailers etc. i'm just asking. Go for it. From the title it seemed sorta Diner Dash-y, and those can get rather stressful imo.

These are our awesome prizes:
I pretty much think to myself "This will be the time they finally show us more SS4" during every single game conference and event for the past 5 years. It never really happens, outside of the announcement. I just want more Sam...
House Flipper is awesome if you're looking for some Zen gameplay. Man I dumped so many hours into that game. No regrets.
Also consider Viscera Cleanup Detail if you're looking for the same vibe but a little more spicy.
Oh good call, I have Viscera and played a bit of it but that was before the game was complete. I should get back to it.
Although all that gore would make me feel not so chill lol.
Have it on my wishlist. Not going to judge. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But maybe think about if you are really into houses or want to flip gardens instead. 🤔
Awesome. I'm guessing a VR mode is unlikely, since Croteam has expressed disappointment in VR sales. I'll likely be getting it regardless.
Been enjoying my index that recently came mainly trying out pavlov and boneworks.......will say though that I can understand krejlooc's thread about it now. Game does make me feel kinda sick but I guess prolong exposure should help with that.
Pavlov is hella fun though.
