Pathway is currently on sale.
The game recently received an extensive update based on user feedback, and reviews of the latest version are very positive:



There are bundles of the game with other titles from the developer and publisher, so if you own some, you may get an even better deal.
It's 7,55€ in one of the dynamic bundles, the game's recent reviews are 96% positive. I think it's time to get it. ;)

AI War II released today out of early access:

It has a quite troubled development history, but in the end it came together in parts due to the help of some community members who where granted access to the source code:

If somebody is interested: I have an 25% off coupon for the game.

And still only my second favorite Bad Company song:
Haha, I discovered the band with this song, thanks to Rock Band 2. Loved playing that one. I also learned about Fleetwood Mac playing "Go your own way" in the same game.


Man, Rock Band 2 had some amazing music.

Fairy Fencer F is a game I've been curious to try for a while, I always have too much on my plate though.

I'll at least get the $1 tier to finally have Trillion, might go all in since everything seems well reviewed and Fairy Fencer Dark F Advent Title Continues on For Forever is also a long-time wishlist entry.

Well I mean as long as Wrestling fans dole out top dollar for broken shit they're going to keep pushing out broken shit?

so I guess the problem here is the fan and the devs?
Also I had to clear a few rogue likes from my wishlist because that genre drives me nuts

why tf are you people making such intriguing games with promises and then do that??????

Bad Company 3 is rumored to be 2020's Battlefield title actually.

The problem is:

A) I have zero trust in them after the shitshow of balancing, bugs and content dearth in BFV.

B) DICE themselves years ago said they had no idea what people liked about Bad Company.

C) A significant part of the team "DNA" that built those games like David Goldfarb (designer on BFBC, BFBC2, BF2) or Gustav Tilleby (art director on BF2, BFBC2, BF3, BF4, BF1, Battlefront 2 that left for Söderlund's new studio) are gone from DICE altogether, or in other cases often moved onto different roles within the company.

I'd love for BFBC3 to be good, but I have no idea what it'll turn out like under the current iteration of DICE.
I have not played that many DICE games but of the ones that I have played BBC2 was the one I liked the most and sunk the most amount of hours into. I also play BF3 and BF4 and I just didn't like them.
I even tried playing the Medal of Honor reboot game and it just didn't feel right.

I wouldn't trust Dice with anything next year. Remember new consoles are coming and BF4 was a shitshow for months when it came out around the time PS4 and X1 launched. This time around you have 2 new consoles and you got PS4/X1 pro + vanilla versions for them to take care of too. Oh and PC version so yea wtvr game they release next year will need to be optimized for 7 different platforms basically. I wouldn't be surprised if winds up being their biggest disaster yet. And EA will look for every opportunity to inject some shitty microtransactions into it all too. They'll need to recoup all the money for this skipped year.

I regret to inform you of today's old man screaming at clouds

I don't even understand the crux of the critique.
Games, by contrast, are supposed to be entertainment—and yet they demand toil in leisure’s pursuit.
What's the meaningful difference between deriving enjoyment from the "work" of a game versus the "work" of cooking or participating in a sport? Isn't this literally describing any non-consumption based hobby?

It also seems like he's weirdly trivializing other entertainment mediums?
Game-play—the work of working a game—is fundamentally irritating, at least in comparison with other media forms. It’s easy to pass the eyes over the pages of a book, or to bathe in the waves of image and sound at the cinema or in your living room.
Like that fundamentally isn't true. The basic conceit of reading words off a page is easy at a theoretical level, but the specific level of effort required can vary greatly depending on whether I'm ready Dr. Seuss or James Joyce. Reading Ulysses feels a lot like "work" to me, but that doesn't mean there's not a value in doing so.

The critique of meme-based culture is actually pretty interesting, but the stuff before it about gameplay is just tedious nonsense.

This is the only bundle you weebs should be buying today.. (embedding the bundle doesn't work for whatever reason :huhblob:)
I'm super stoked that we're getting 3 more Muv-Luv. Of course it'll be the year of 2021 A.D. before we're getting in the west, but after the disappointment of Uta mobage thing, hearing the RPG one isn't a gacha game is something I'm legit excited about.

So Amazon is selling the echo dot for $10 USD along with the music unlimited service.... I ended up buying it...

Now you can also get a Google Home mini for $10 USD. I may just get this because of the low price and it comes with a month of Spotify premium.


I have no idea what I will be using these things for.


So I'm having issues figuring out what to do. I am going back to school since I just need to take 2 more classes for my AA. I could take one of those classes during the Winter (a 4 week class) but the issue is that I don't know when I might get another job and the holiday season is the most busy in retail.


I think I will take my computer science class in the Spring and the issue with that is that the class is in the morning, there is good and bad to that, good because that means more time to study since I will be on campus for a while instead of just going to class and then leaving right away.

The issue with that is that if I do end up getting the full time job (the staffing agency place) I doubt they would be okay with me taking 2 days off in order to go to school. If I'm still working at my current retail job the issue with that will be that I may actually end up working less? I would need Mondays and Wednesdays off for the class and work is usually from Monday to Friday so I would just work 3 days out of the week, the issue is that the days we work vary, so in the end I might just work 2 days out of the week and in a worse case scenario only 1 day of the week.


Before I dropped out I use to have two job, one of them was doing score keeping for an indoor hockey league. I don't live in the city were the college is at so I would have to drive 30 minutes to get there. The hockey place was about 5 min away from the school. So I would go to school and then after my last class I would leave to go to work and then go home.

During Fall 2017 I was going to school and doing the hockey thing and on days I didn't go to school I was delivering pizzas for my other job. I didn't manage that well and ended up failing some classes from what I recall.

If no major hidden expenses show up during the Spring I think I might manage somehow. And if I pass those classes than I guess I will be getting my AA before the Summer of next year!!!

I'm still not sure if I should take the online class during the 4 week winter period..... I might contact the instructor for that class and as him if his two online classes require the same online software (since a lot of classes now require for you to buy some $100-$200 USD license keys in order to use some website for homework and stuff. If it uses the same site and I don't need to fork over another $100USD then I will end up taking the class

Also one issue that I have with my current PC set up is that I have multiple speakers connected to it. I want to use the Logitech ones but they are too loud sometimes and I would like for a real easy way for my to switch the audio output device with the press of a keyboard bind type of thing. I could alt tab and switch that way but it's too much of a hassle and then to switch back after words
