PC Gaming ERA | December 2019 - A Monument To All Your Sins

Actually we had a 10 min rule during game days (everyone had to get their games done within this time), and between game days during non transfer periods the host gets to proceed a day every 2 mins (usually we didn't even wait between game days unless one of us had to negotiate a new contract with our players).
Whenever transfer periods opened up (winter/summer) we'd dedicate a certain number of days specifically to it and the host usually kept the game up all day for those 1-2 days (we had the host host it on his extra laptop) where people would do all the negotiation, contracts, searching for players and staff, tweaking tactics etc. Scouting players beforehand was on each player.
We played 3 nights a week.
If you ever thought "I wish Dark Souls had fetch quests" then this is the game for you!!

Just finished the cute PnC Little Acre.
The handdrawn animation is beautiful and Lily really cute! But sadly it's waaaay to simple gameplaywise and rather short as well. Just took me 1,5 hours. :/

For what I've played (only the first chapter, on Lightly Broiled) the difficulty is also because the hitscanners have instant reaction time so the moment they see you they shoot at you.
I'm enjoying it so far!
this is an amazing way to describe the little I played of Ashen.
Oh, I see. What parameters is that dynamic category based on?
What I really want though is a list that I can order myself, so I can go through it pretty seamlessly. ;)

Playing with fire. I'm always sweating up a storm doing those or firmware updates 😅
The head writer from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is working on Chernobylite, so we'll see how that one ends up.
Some parts of Metro Exodus managed to channel S.T.A.L.K.E.R. vibe somewhat. But I feel that the big part of what makes the Zone special are the constant reminders that there IS a "normal" world out there to return to- which isn't really something you can get in your typical post-apoc fiction. In that sense comparisons with games like Fallouts don't really work, because the vault dwellers have no choice but to live in their world; while everyone in the Zone has their own reasons to risk their life for the potential fortune to be made in the Zone
Can't believe how much XCOM2 I'm (re)playing, with all these other games I need to get through. It's just...when modded to match your tastes, it's almost a perfect game.
Fired up the DQB2 demo and I love everything about it minus the horrid camera controls.
I've fiddled with all the settings and can't seem to dial in anything that feels natural. I'm instead left feeling like I'm spending more time babysitting manual camera adjustment than playing the actual game.
Shame, 'cause it started out as a might buy to a deep discount barring some mod adjustments down the line.

Guardian of Light was such a fun game, but yeah the Osiris reviews made it clear that it was a step down and I never got around to it. Speaking of local co-op type games, I fell off of Trine after part 2, I see they out a part 4 with decent reviews recently. Surprised that's still going.
Yeah, the hitscanners can be a massive pain the ass. Glad you like the game though. It's hard for me to imagine what it's like playing it for the first time, as nostalgia's absolutely corrupted my memory so I can only remember the awesome atmosphere and absurdly powerful arsenal when I revisit my first impressions in my mind's eye.
It's been on my sights for years, it's one of the few shooters of that era I haven't played.
I even tried Tekwar when I was a child! Tekwar!
Any issues with AI if you're playing solo? (Not familiar about character switching if playing by yourself)
Man, this is with an SSD too. Same one I used to use but wiped obv, used to be 10 seconds.
Read Ryzens can cause slow boot times but come on :( Got the BIOS settings as what you'd expect too
Mine is better now after alot of the BIOS updates etc but yeah it's still like ~10-15 sec slower than my 2500k system
There is none, you just switch between them with a button combo, the inactive character isn't on screen.
BIOS fully updated for me :(

Managed to tear myself away from FM19 for a bit to continue the Field of Glory 2 tutorial. Not bad at all, fun for the history buffs, lots of attention to detail, and I especially enjoy the game manual PDF with its lengthy description of the warfare of the era (yes that's right, they still make manuals for games on Steam!).
Getting an elephant to flank charge and rout several units is *chef kiss*. It's something you can play in bitesize moments. More importantly, another game marked off the backlog! Progress!

Did that with my keyboard, but since the top is brushed aluminum, every piece of dust and dirt stuck to the base of the keyboard.
It was absolutely FILTHY.
Gonna clean it thoroughly every 6 months.

I'm on Ryzen and mine says 12 seconds, I've got 3 external USB drives attached too so it could be even quicker.
Mixes up channels on 5.1 semi randomly (so vocal channel will try to play through subwoofer). There's a bootleg fix by running sound at 16 bit, but still happens every once in a while. On my motherboard they've slowly been fixing it. Supposedly fixed on a few soundblaster models in the last few BIOS
Like Sredgrin said above, if you're playing solo you're just one character that can switch on on the fly.
I think it works like Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light in that it changes some puzzles that have co-op elements. (like where you have to flip 2 switches at once etc)
Same! I'm doing my third playthrough right now. I've been using mods basically since the first time but it's always astounding how dope they make the game.
Also super into voice and customization mods. I recommend the AVGN one a lot, it's the best.
What kind of game even is this again? I've seen almost nothing on it. Looks Diablo-y?
I've wanted to do my n playthrough on XCOM2 for a while, but I'm having problems to identify which of the gazillion mods I use is crashing the game on the startup. The alternative launcher that identifies problems doesn't say anything, and testing out by batches (first one half, then half of the half that crashes, and so on) it bores me to death only by thinking to do it as it would require a decent amount of time (and clicks).
But this led me to install Slay the Spire around a week ago, and oh boy. Quality drug.

lol yeah i had the same issue the other day. i went through and enabled mods 5 at a time (i'm running about 80)
turned out to be some inconsequential "advent have flashlights" mod that I installed on a whim and never even tested out. worth the hassle imo, xcom2 is probably in my top 3 GOATs(e)
