Waiting for Lego Star Wars key to arrive from GMG…
Can I play this fucking game as Jar jar Binks or what!!!!
Grabbed a pre-order for Lego Star Wars. Still have a soft spot for all of TT’s Lego games. Plus it will give me a break from the ilvl grind in Lost Ark.
Is it Humble Choice day today? I'm looking forward to be disappointed again 
This seems like one of the weirdest possible choices that could be made for a game like this
It is.Is it Humble Choice day today? I'm looking forward to be disappointed again
Will it be good?
Will it be bad?
Will it be good but not Steam?
Who can say!

Humble Choice April 2022 leak - first two games are revealed
The leaked list of Humble Choice games in April includes Ghostrunner and Destroy All Humans!
gg.deals
Since they reduced the humble discount amount to 10% even if you pause only a month I'm a bit reluctant to unpause.
Cancelling my sub altogether is becoming a more attractive proposition as time goes on.

I lost my 20% discount last month as I lost access to the email connected to my main humble account and had to have them transfer all my keys to a new one.
Hm, wouldn't mind Ghostrunner but wouldn't go out of my way for it either.Humble Choice April 2022 leak - first two games are revealed

Will depend on the rest of the games for me.

I'd be very happy with Ghostrunner
I have Ghostrunner on Gog but that's like burying it at the bottom of the garden. I technically own it but I couldn't be bothered with going through the process to dig it up.
This whole premise seems pretty wild.
Hope it sports a demo as it feels like something you'd really need to see in motion before committing.
I was always wondering where the Humble Choice countdown went, that used to be somewhere.
Today I found out where it is now.
The 404 page. (I'm not joking)

yeah, normally i would just ignore it since there are tonnes of minecraft clones on steam, but the whole 4D thing makes it sound REALLY cool (as does the explainer in the description, haha)
More crypto scams and now putting the name of people who aren't even involved on it.
I'm sure this'll be a very wholesome rpg
Maybe they've learned how to set up sales on Steam? Would be a megaton.
Finally discounting their games? That would be good news.
Probably more expensive season passes
Anyone stuck with MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries more than a bit?
I thought I'd give it another chance and I managed to map my flight stick + kb combo similar to how I have it in MW4: Mercenaries but it still doesn't feel nearly as good for some reason, I'm struggling to aim as stable and precisely or even strafe around enemies effectively. I think it doesn't instantly stop turret pitch/yaw movement in a given direction but has a slight slowdown lag first? It might not be the case and something else is wrong, I have to try again.
Also I'm not sure about Arm Lock. The arms move pitch/yaw faster than torso so if you disable it you can aim and shoot faster in directions? While if you do arm lock then they're limited to torso speed (but then also match torso facing weapon crosshair since not all are on the arms)? Something like that? Are there other totally free floating cursor weapons where you'd be at huge disadvantage if using arm lock (and flight stick) instead of aiming all over the place easily and precisely with just the mouse? Also I guess there's no coolant this time, you just gotta watch your heat the whole time? I didn't see a mapping for it.
Also I can apparently map any key combinations for functions, so I can have W for throttle up, S for down and then Shift + W for throttle max and Shift + S for throttle zero etc. but apparently I can't map button combos on the stick as well? I wanted to make the trigger like a "Shift" key so I could then do 6 weapon groups on 3 stick buttons (4 with the trigger). I can't do shift or other key + joystick button either. Maybe it's better to redo all weapon groups in the lab to give me a max of 4 groups, It's not like it's common to wanna use some puny weapon on its own instead of coupled with at least one more, right? Or maybe just set the left arm on one button, the right arm on another, shoulders/torso on a third, and all together on the last? Or separate by type. Lasers, missiles, etc.

Next up: KT somehow applying negative sale rates, making their games more expensive for the duration of a "sale".
Basically the Chrono Cross remaster soundtrack used in-game is only a cleaned up version of the original, there's a few remade tracks but those are just extras that aren't used during gameplay.
I had a good chuckle at that Elden Ring review that says you know you fucked up when a PC release from KT (Atelier Sophie 2) has better performance than the most anticipated game in 2 years.
Following up on the Chrono Cross music thing, it seems I interpreted the confusing wording correctly and the soundtrack is simply a cleaned up version of the original with the rearrangements only being playable in a menu. So that's good news.

Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition - Here's How Music Works | RPG Site
Square Enix's messaging on music is confusing. Let's straighten that out.

Since Crystal Dynamics is working on another Tomb Raider maybe Eidos-Montréal can go back to working on Deus Ex eh Square?
Tomb Raider just won't die but Deus Ex can't get the second half of its last game... 
sigh sod Tomb Raider, it hasn't been good in nearly a decade
Complete with a Uma Musume style opening.
Theyre in the Marvel mines, sorry :/

Sigh, yeah... Unreal's a good engine, sure, but I dont think consolidation is a good thing. In-house-engines are often interesting and just different looking. The Fox engine, the Dawn engine, RE Engine, the Void engine (and idTech proper), Source, Road Hog Engine, REDengine, Glacier, theyre all great engines in their own way in my opinion (cant speak of technical stuff, of course). Some of these look amazing and run buttery smooth. I just dont wanna see all that become all Unreal. And if you wanna have only one big engine, it should be open-source and developed by multiple companies & team, not just Epic.

Rise of the Tomb Raider was very good, thank you very much
But yeah, tastes and everything. I would argue there should be place for both but I'd also like more Deus Ex, in any case. The series is filled with unfinished stories.
First Q2 and no luck with Steam Deck email.
will Valve send more this week or we have to wait until next monday?

So, apparently Chrono Cross suffers from the usual Squaresoft performance issues.

Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition would be a timeless JRPG, if it weren't for its shonky performance
Square Enix's time-travelling JRPG Chrono Cross holds up pretty well for a 20-year-old game, but its PC port needs a few patches before it can truly shine.

Tomb Raider reboot games are fine, they're just got progressively worse because they took themselves too seriously despite being largely nonsensical.
I was just annoyed how much of the remake (you know the 2013) one involved shooting people with arrows. I just want my silly tomb puzzles and occasional killing maybe a couple of cute animals. That's it. But nope, that game really insisted on silly torture porn and its really tiresome combat. Peaced out from the series after that.
