Only two puzzles left and I will have finished the incredibly long Konami Pixel Puzzle on iOS. What a drag, I had enough months ago.
...watch me buy Picross S3 on Switch in a matter of days.

This is digital crack :anguished-face:

Also, has anyone gotten their free month of Origin Access/Premier for activating 2fa in October? My account still says I'll get billed in November (subbed to Premier).
I was just about to ask the same thing. Looking around the net doesn't seem that anyone has got it yet.

Latest "official" answer I could find is:

I kind of have a morbid curiosity about the last few Need for Speed games so I want that free month to check them out, but guilty free :p

Confession-Meta: I'm a shitty PC gamer. I spent all weekend without my PC and was perfectly happy without it. I had a blast with my PS3. Yesterday I looked at any possible PS3 games I might like. I didn't buy anything in the Halloween sale on Steam. The last major release I played was Control on the PS4 and RE2 Remake, on the PS4. I run windows 8.1 and I have no interest in moving on to Win 10 with my current system. The last big money, AAA, graphics intensive game I got for my PC was Doom 2016.

The only time I used my PC this month for gaming was Free to play horror and indie titles. No rocket league even.

You like games ? That's fine by me.

Couldn't care less about the hardware you play them on. Except if you break my balls about it being superior or I don't know what other nonsense.
I trust Meta to pass off no judgement. Just don't ask me about current releases lol!

Its a bit sad because I have so many PC games to play and I haven't played one of my favorite genres (Rouge Like/Lite FPS) in like months just because I've been drifting over the PS/console side for a bit.

Keep me away from the holiday steam sales people.

Enjoy the games you want, wherever you want. Playing on consoles only becomes a "problem" for me if the person somehow start to associate the fun he/she is having if the game/feature X is not available to others. The "this game is exclusive to my platform so screw you" attitude.

Heck, PC gaming is all about playing the a game the way you are more comfortable with, be with a mouse/keyboard, controller, 30fps, 60fps, 140fps, and so on. So if you want to play on console and don't mind the closed hardware, who cares?

Keep me away from the holiday steam sales people.
Now... if buying games implied we were going to play them.... them I'm guessing Steam sales would be a lot less successful. :)

Damn.... The Disney Directive "Billion or Bust" for their prime properties really sucked the life out of you...

I'm sorry.

EdwardTivrusky, one my favorite games of 2018 WAS a mobile game.... (although my phone is a moto E4, so invenstive games)

Valkyria chronicles may be the first strategy game I've really like since I dropped Civ V after 150 hours three years ago.

I had this issue with Creature in the Well, wouldn't run and uninstalling did nothing becasue windows doesn't uninstall things. The only way to get it working again was to install a 2nd copy on a different disk.
Format c and win reinstall is the solution. Actually with win10 it isn't :steam_pig_laughing:

I run windows 8.1 and I have no interest in moving on to Win 10 with my current system.
I'm forced to use win 8 at work and at the end of the day relieved to know I won't have to see that lame half assed piece of shit till next morning.

The overly expensive controller aka elite 2 released today. Is anyone getting it?
I was tempted but no. Its just too much money, and I think I prefer the DualShock 4 more now.
I got the rose gold color recently and it beautiful.

$179.99 is comedy hour shit. I paid $75 for a "premium" controller on 2013. Yup, I was using my $35 Xbox 360 controller two years later.

Controllers break and get worn out. This $180 rich person's toy has a warranty of 90 days. It just isn't practical. And for those who can afford it, they'd probably be better off with more time to actually play games.

I spent $55 on a Camo DS4 this past January. That is the limit on how much I'm spending for any controller.

I wonder if people are starting to think that Gamepass has every game released for Xbox on it. I saw some Xbox copies of Modern Warfare with a big ass sticker with ‘NOT AVAILABLE ON GAMEPASS’ written on it.

who needs Diablo IV when we already have Grim Dawn? (and i'm being 100% serious)
Exactly what I was thinking.

I loved Diablo and Diablo 2, and I dropped Diablo 3 after 2 hours. I know the game was supposed to be improved in the meantime, but my time is limited, they lost me with that launch.

Grim Dawn is the game I wanted as a follow-up to Diablo 2 (and the sadly underrated Titan Quest), I still have plenty of content to play in it, and I can't be bothered to return to Diablo III, let alone Diablo IV.

It's a bit perplexing when I see developers pulling all sorts of crap, and still selling millions and millions of copies, while other developers put in the effort, release great products with awesome post-launch support, and sell nowhere near as many copies.

Pretty much none of the people that made Diablo and Diablo 2 are at Blizzard, at this point "Diablo" is nothing but a trendy brand that lost all its meaning to me.

What was the thing that you needed to install to get a DS4 to run on PC? Used to playing with an old wired 360 controller so I have no fucking idea of what I'm doing with this.
