I'm actually kinda glad Epic bought up a year of Outer Worlds exclusivity so I just used a free month of game pass instead of paying $60 for it. I was really disappointed.

I mean, I often glaze over this kind of stuff, i just rankled my cankles when all I saw everywhere was everyone talking about how amazing Parvati was written. I felt like was playing a different game.
Like, representation matters, so that aspect of her as a character that exists in a AAA game is great. No argument there.
But damn. Nothing about her personality makes sense. Like, when speaking to this chirpy, friendly, conventionally attractive, easy going girl from a backwater town filled to the brim with drudges, do you believe she'd be some social outcast? What childhood and life experience leads to a character like this?
"Oh I don't get along too well with everyone, I just keep to myself. Even though I'm really friendly specifically to you. And anyone else that you see me talk to, but not the people you don't see me talk to. Everyone else thinks I'm a weirdo. Do you think I'm a weirdo? What if I stutter a little bit, and ask you for advice and simultaneously be SO OBLIVIOUS OH MY GOD and hyper-competent at these specific things you need me for? And what if I need you too, player character? What if I need you to guide me through my formative love and sexual awakening? What if you could guide me through my first drinks? My first trip into the wide wonderful world? Would you do that for me mom/dad? I mean player character! What if I was a fully grown character that has no agency of her own and I ask you to hold my hand through every major high school experience so you can live vicariously through me? Would you like that? Do you like me? Do you? I'm insecure. Tell me you like me. I want you to like me. I really want you to like me. Please mommy."
tier 4 actually and I cant unlock Selicity for the life of me, I just cant figure her out.
edit: nvm got her, on tier 5 even with Reva. Clearly I am the greatest One Step From Eden player that ever was. And then I was fucking destroyed by the main character >_>

On Steam. Almost everyone is selling Bethesda keys. (Buka regions got Steam keys I think).
Sounds insane. Because Bethesda.net should've sold at least around same as Steam.
A couple of years ago or so, Zhuge mentioned that the Uplay/Steam split for Ubi games is roughly 50/50, so we can safely assume that's also the ceiling for Doom Eternal's Bethnet/Steam split, especially with, as you've said, Steam keys being used in a handful of regions. My guess would be Bethnet represents no more than 40% of the pie.

I can't imagine Bethesda.net has near the market penetration of Uplay. Ubisoft's third party deals also tend to be more aggressive. Ubisoft still gets a lot of direct purchases directly in Uplay, and I can't imagine many did that for Doom.
I pinched my thumb in the middle of my Hollow Knight addiction. That was painful in many ways.
Damn
I could never quite put the finger on why everyone loves Parvati so much but the character did absolutely nothing for me. Now I know it thanks to you.
Oh man this was thrilling, landed a late-game Slayer Gate on the first try on Ultraviolence. Damn near gave me a heart attack!
I can't get over just how good the new Half Life game is. I've been playing an hour or so at a time (With a week off for a spot of heavy Animal Crossing fishing). I just finished the section with Jeff which was as tense as hell. It looks so damn good too.
While working from home I've been trying to fit in some Beat Saber for exercise as well. Modded that game is so much fun.

But that's the only way if you want a cheap DOOM Eternal key.
Of course Beth.net does not have Uplay penetration, but if you are not willing to spend 60 bucks it's your only choice.
That's the real added value of EGS: immunity from marketing hype. One year later, you look at a game that was on your wishlist and you're like "Ugh. Well, money saved".
It's been a while since I bought a game right as it released, but does Steam usually die when this happens? It was hella slow just getting to the cart, then behaved erratically when I tried to remove the game (Bannerlord). Ended up with a phantom cart (Steam UI shows empty, but the game is still there) until I managed to go back into it from the store page.
Steam is now murdering my bandwidth and disk with this download of Bannerlord, but it was being real slow/unresponsive even before that.
Edit: Actually, maybe Bannerlord is actually that big of a release.

So do we think that Valve will expand SteamTV to be a twitch competitor? Its existence seems kinda pointless right now.
Had the same issue Hella with Bannerlords and I can't think of that happening before. Ended up buying from greenmangaming but even they charged and immediately refunded twice before finally giving me a key.
The world doesn't want us to play it lol

I've not been able to use my cards online for 2 weeks now and most general staff and banks are on leave so no one is getting it sorted. It's pretty annoying being able to go to the store and spend 200 bucks but not being able to spend 1 cent online.

I didn't have issues with CC on Steam this week, but absolutely could not get a purchase to go through on GOG.
Arite, now I have preordered RE3. Got some concerns from the demo but hopefully the final product is better.
E.g. the gunpowder mixing system seemed to be a copy of RE2, but the original RE3 had a far more extensive mixing system. So my main concern is puzzle difficulty in general will drop (not that it was amazing in RE2R). Nemesis was as annoying as I was worried he'd be, just not fun gameplay-wise imho.
Yeah I did actually think the gunpowder mixing was a bit of a shame to lose the version from RE3. I really like the Nemesis stuff, though. It all depends, Mr. X was super scary when you first encountered him but then you figured the game out and he was harmless outside of moving that fucking bookshelf.

Remember not on Steam probably so you can't complete Remastered collection if they decide to do third one.

April Fool's one day early? If it's true it's cool though I don't understand the remastering of the old MW when they just rebooted the series. Also MW3 is the one I haven't played :(
Yeah and the bookshelf could easily be setup in advance. I'd have preferred they left out the minor nuisance of Mr. X if they had instead focused on getting one coherent A+B scenario, maybe with some more interaction between Leon and Claire. But overall I really liked RE2R. Nemesis tripping Jill was just annoying at a whole new level though.
Once a day I am going to play a game that is currently free on itch.io. Who wants to join me?
Today I played https://rayharry.itch.io/area-51-defense
Serviceable top down shooter, killing waves of zombie like attackers, with pretty standard weapon variety but nothing stand out. Apparently it has a level editor, kill streaks, and power ups that the game did not explain. I will probably play it again sometimes when I want a quick 15-20 minute time sink which is what I used it for today.
Here is a list someone curated of free games (or at least were free last in the last 2 weeks). https://itch.io/c/759545/self-isolation-on-a-budget
