Dirt Rally 2 is on sale, Is that a good one to jump in on? Or should i be looking at Dirt 4 (or 5)?
Yeah, I've been playing MMOs since the early 2000s. You all publishers/developers can have my PC, just let me play the games.
Speaking of MMOs, it makes me so sad that Everquest next never became a thing, it really seemed to become the next step in MMORPGs, hell even the minecraft clone they made was pretty good!
Started Wintermoor Tactics Club and I am liking it. It uses a combat system that may remind some of XCOM EU. Basically you have your units and they have their unique set of abilities, for example
Alicia is a mage and her ranged magic spell can actually hit multiple enemies long as they are grouped close to each other. She has low health though
Jacob is a rogue and deals good damage and can move farther on the battlefield
The game's story follows a PnP RPG club that discovers that the school faculty has pitted all the clubs against each other and the losing club will be closed down. Battles are enacted like a PnP RPG field with a turn based system. Game is rather chill and the writing is nice. It is a 'budgeted' looking game since there the animations leave much to be desired but overall I am liking it.
Also, Jacob is totally a younger lashman

Recently, the first game/episode from a "quirky" series of games became free-to-play, so if anyone is looking for something new to play, this one is worth a look:

Dirt Rally is more hardcore sim (but still enjoyable for normal people
) ... regular Dirt is pure arcade (also Dirt 4 is shit)
oh .. Metro Exodus just did denuvo remuvo 
Okay, did my first battle in Monster Train. It's really good, feels like Slay the Spire (which I love), but with more depth. It also feels kinda hard, so I assume it has somewhat of a steeper learning curve too.
The game seems to be doing extremely well too on Steam.

I was wondering what was up with Fanatical, there hasn't been a new bundle in a while.
New Repeat Fest tomorrow.
And hey, while they are repeats there's usually at least 1 new one that is very good
lashman alert: Here's a custom build of the steamgrid tool that Durante mentioned with an optional --forcesteam flag that removes previously downloaded custom images if an official version is found. Note: that applies to ALL custom images, not only the ones downloaded via the tool, so do NOT use this if you manually "curate" your library assets!
Code:
.\steamgrid.exe -steamdir "PATH/TO/STEAM" -steamgriddb API_KEY --onlymissingartwork --forcesteamit should work from what I've tested, but I might have overlooked something - I haven't done anything with that programming language before
(also while I did this I added an --appids flag (--appids appid1,appird2,etc) with which you can run it for specific games only (was useful for testing
), that already went into the latest official release too). Go is a weird language, not sure how much I like it
It's like SNK is hard coded to use PC as a retirement home for their games even when having a simultaneous release.
Cool! You should make a pull request in the original repo if you haven't already.

I think their graphics department screwed up. It's either today or tomorrow, it doesn't really matter too much. We'll know in a couple of hours.
Considering the collection on PS2 had Sam Sho 1-SIX and this only has 1-5, I’d say the value of this should be free...That's a way to greatly devalue a game at release
What's going to be in the collection?
No Iroha it’s literally worthless.
This is amazing!

I was a little disappointed by how simple the tactics were, but I played the whole thing anyways. It was just so charming, and the story escalates in a wild way.Started Wintermoor Tactics Club and I am liking it. It uses a combat system that may remind some of XCOM EU.

However... Jacob = lashman?
Minor postgame spoiler: It is revealed that Jacob grows up to be Banksy.
I mean, I've never seen the two of them post at the same time... so I guess it checks out.
... I'd play it.
Edit:
Actually, FF12 Zodiac Age is basically FF:Hastega since I mostly play at 4x speed, and that's pretty good

Ah yes, you prefer just buying anime games without playing them, right
It's what we all do, buy games we don't play!
And it's not even the worst. I remember this one anti cheat that even block Geforce Experience/Shadowplay and Discord from running.
I missed Pangya, there is no other game like thatTalking about GameGuard reminded me of the early 2000s when I used to play a bunch of asian f2p games.
And now I´m playing Pangya again after more then 15 years.
Should be Steam's tagline at this point: "Buy the games, you don't play"It's what we all do, buy games we don't play!

You mean on PC right? Because there’s always Hot Shots Golf / Minna no Golf. Speaking of, PS2 emulation still has tiny but annoying performance problems in these titles from my experience. :/[UWSL]I missed Pangya, there is no other game like that [/UWSL]
I hate my job. Anyone try a carreer change when they were almost 40 years old? I really envy people who genuinely enjoy what they do. Can't say I've met many though.
GOG's summer sale is live and there are some demos for upcoming games.
Desperados 3, All Humans Must Die, Carrion etc.

rubs hands malicouslyBundle Fest got delayed until June 1st: Fanatical
So next week will have both Choice and Bundle Fest
Someone on XboxERA has this to say about inXile's big RPG project:
They are shooting for the top of the RPG genre regarding production values (and in almost all departments - they are very conscious where their weakness are at the moment). Project plan and team framework is still in production.
I know for a fact that animation, film experience, physics/destruction (very important), highly detailed humans, animals, environments (realistic tones with fine artistic touches) are all on the table as priorities/elements in this phase (systems/gameplay are almost covered). In all these departments they plan to be no 1. RPG studio with this project. It's very ambitious and really important for team to scale-up at these skills/qualities/elements in early phase. They are rapidly changing internal perspective on how to make modern RPGs. (pipelines, but also they are switching some other perspectives
Also, as a highlight they plan to have very very strong motion capture team.
Game is still in very early development and core team is yet to be finalised, few key senior positions are still missing for larger scale production. They are waiting for seniors and team on Wasteland 3 to integrate them in core team for new project and further expand to unlock first phase of full production. Later on they plan to further expand and outsource.
I don't know if it's new IP or existing at this moment, but those are the tones/elements that they are searching for.
Also, atmosphere in team is excellent and they are really confident. This game will be on whole new level for XGS, whole team believes that.
I wonder if one of the devs/publisher got cold feet and pulled out from being in one of their bundles.Bundle Fest got delayed until June 1st: Fanatical

OP
After reading through the email some more I guess they have my contact information (I use multiple emails) because you need to make an account to play the game (share art?) the game.
Its sort of weird, since I don't recall making an account, I wonder if there are other devs that email people years later about a new game that they are working on since I think this is a one person studio, seeing how this person also works on other games but does this on the side.
I'm trying to download that PSO2 game and it has not gone well, I had it downloading last night and it froze, so time wasted. I don't think I will actually play the game but I do want to at least try it out sort of a thing.
I play DQ and I don't recall that move.
Epic giving away that one game for free is pretty crazy. It might give Samurai Showdown a player base after all on EGS, but they are still charging a lot of money and the season pass stuff is not free, so there is that as well
-----
why didn't they just add the game through the Xbox game launcher? or is that no better than the MS store? I just thought I heard people had less of a hassle when downloading games that way
