That's exactly what I was hoping, enjoy!
There sure is!
Is there a worse feeling than realizing your pc had defaulted to the integrated graphics card for who knows how long instead of the fancy graphics card you made sure to get?
I'd wondered why things had been chugging along. Thought maybe my laptop was getting old. Nope, just default settings and an out of date driver.

Starting February strong, I'm still getting on my indie game backlog, and lately I just finished Night In The Woods. It's a game that I had on my radar for the longest of times (back from that Kickstarter, really), solely because the art direction is absolutely something right up my alley. It's just so stunning and unique, I'm in love with it. But the quality of the writing is what made me stay, the story is riveting, and very relatable, and the characters are all so charming and endearing. I loved interacting with every single one of them, I couldn't have enough of them and would squeeze any interactions I could. This game manages to tackle so many themes at once in very subtle and clever ways. It doesn't feel forced, it's just there, and it for you to pick it up or not. I really loved my time with it, even if the ending was a bit heh, but overall, what a lovely enthralling game with incredibly human and relatable characters. It was a great experience, I recommend it a lot!
I wiped my save before the achievement update went live so i could start fresh 😊
I played it last autumn, seemed like the perfect time. You know, Weird Autumn Edition, he he.. he. Anyway, I had very similar feelings. One of my favourite characters turned out to be Lori and I prefered to spend the nights with Bea instead of Greg. Loved her route. I was also very surprised by how scary the game gets at times, didn't expect that at all.
While I had an overall great experience, I was also a bit confused by the ending.
Band practice was hard. And I wish, Demontower woudn't be so though as well, didn't make it very far. But holy shit, what a great game in a game. They could have released it as a spinoff alone.
From the extras, I enjoyed the story around Adina Astrea a lot as well.
I liked that game too, though I can not play it now without thinking about all those sad events that happened few months ago. Makes it even sadder and more melancholic
Bea is just amazing, my favorite overall! Gregg is fun though, but not as interesting as Bea, in my opinion. I couldn't bother with the band practice mini-game, it was way too hard for me. And the Demontower bored me quick, to be honest, so I didn't bother much past the second level (I think?). And yeah, the extras were both pretty good, it was a nice way to leave this game and its lovely and unique universe. Truly charming on all accounts, I'm very fond of all of it.
Yeah, seeing the ending credits pop up was really a punch to the guts, I gotta admit. It made me pretty sad.
I have a couple of games installed on my gaming laptop from 2014 but I use it to play low spec games (all the games installed are 2D, low spec or generations ago games like Duke Nukem 2, Quake 2, etc).
My current gaming desktop which I bought 3 months ago I only have one game installed: Assassin's Creed III.
I dont like keeping digital games downloaded in long instances - even my PS4 only has Driveclub installed despite 70% of my game library on PS4 being digital.
lol
Well, I'm only in the beginning of the game....I waited 5 years to play this and now got the chance :|
I want W101 on a platform I have a chance of owning, don't care which platform. I think that's my last WiiU-game-needs-porting ...game.
I still want Super Mario 3D World, Star Fox Zero, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Paper Mario Color Splash and Yoshi's Woolly World on Switch ;(
Finished Plague tale innocence and here is my review :
Those sure were some bad rats, and
For a more serious opinion - It was mostly good but outstayed its welcome, gotten really stupid by the end and culminated in the most annoying clunky trail and error boss fight in memory .

Meanwhile WoH is one of my most anticipated titles of the year.
I'm continually amazed at how blindly myopic professional enthusiast sites can be.
Wonderful 101 is like a top-ten favorite of the past decade for me, so the idea of it coming out on Steam is just the sort of insanity I'm all in on.
Though when Emily was talking a little while back about Nintendo not wanting to pursue a port, I was thinking Devolver could pick up the check. Maybe it's a bit out of their budget, though.
<3 the R* launcher
Despite owning the game on Steam
Set your alarm clock for
you have the first paid dlc / expansion coming in a few days so congrats on the wish fulfillment?
Donna has been there 25 years. they did a write up about her in december actually.
It's basically the Monday of every year. Better to expect nothing and even that might be too much.
Couple of tips:
- Perhaps somewhat counter-intuitively, avoiding bullets by walking is often better than rolling, rolling has invincibility but it's easy to get hit while you're recovering from the roll.
- Save your screen clearing blanks for the bosses and use them there, as you get them back for free on the next floor.
- Save whatever more powerful gun/ammo you have for the bosses. You can use the marine if you want for a slightly more powerful default weapon.
You want to be able to no-hit the first couple of bosses, because that gives you an extra life container for each one, that extra life is a huge help later on. Once you learn the patterns/mechanics it's actually pretty doable on the earlier ones.

It is. Was kinda troubled out of the gates between performance issues and onerous microtransactions, but it remains a fantastic RTS.
So I've rarely gamed on my PC my whole life besides playing a lot of Street Fighter 4 and 5. I bought COD: MW and I installed MSI Afterburner+Rivatuner because after watching so many benchmark videos I wanted to see how well my system can run the game at different settings. I have a Ryzen 2700x, 16GB DDR4 PC3200, and a 1660 Super.
I have a high refresh rate monitor so I wanted to make sure I was sitting around 90-100 on average and never dip below 60 at worse. I'm getting those numbers but I've had many hick ups where it falls to the single digits. Not for long or anything like that. Just a very short moment where it looks like the game paused for a quarter of a second. Anybody have any clue what might be causing that?
And I don't know if this matters but I decided to check my RAM speed to see if it was running at 3200 MHz. It was actually running at 2133 so I went into the BIOS and enabled the A-XMP thingy so it could run at full speed which it is now. No clue if it had anything to do with my problem but I just wanted to mention that.

Gotta remember to pause Humble monthly, I can't afford it this month.
I'm happy of my decision to pay last month though. I put more than 100 hours on Dirt Rally and Dirt Rally 2.0 hooks me the same way the first entry did. Always trying to drive a bit better next time.
On the other hand, I can't get the hang of Elite Dangerous, too complex for me, I don't have the time to try learning to play.
Also, aiming to finish Blasphemous this month

Lol. But February is worse! At least January has a bright spot.
.....no, I don't remember what that is.
