Today is my favourite day of the year so far (outside release days: Sekiro and John Wick 3), my favourite website is back and finally got my set-up together!
OLED TV, dual monitor (27" 1440p IPS and 23" 1080p IPS Dells) and Oculus Rift. I missed having two monitors, opens up so many doors for where to place my windows.. Now if I could replace the 23" Dell with gaming monitor I'd be all set, but that can wait. :sekiroblob:

I think it’s 20% off until next week too.
Yeah, it will be.
I posted some details about the upcoming launch on the game's thread:


In short, besides prices and platform details, they posted some info on guest writers.

To quote:

«Then I had an idea: wouldn't it be interesting to get some other writers to flesh out the townspeople? The writers I invited were all people who inspired me when I was first getting into making games.

  • Steve Meretzky is a legendary interactive fiction author, from Planetfall to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy to my favorite A Mind Forever Voyaging.
  • Marc Laidlaw you know for writing the Half-Life franchise.
  • Brenda Romero goes back to the Wizardry and Jagged Alliance franchises, but you may know for her more recent art piece games like Train.
  • Brian Moriarty reinvented graphical adventures with Loom but also worked at Infocom, including the remarkable Trinity.
  • Chris Avellone you know for writing RPGs from Fallout to KOTOR to my personal favorite, the dark epic Planescape: Torment. »

Oh damn. The writing could be real solid. Now I need to decide between PC and switch. Switch I have a gift card... but I’m sure there will be performance issues

Don't take my word as gospel, since the last version of the game I played was an early one (on PC), but it didn't appear to be a very demanding game, so I would expect the Switch version to be fine.
But, with PC there's always the increased resolution, maybe some mods in the future, the usual stuff. ;)

I can see an Origin thing this month with Anthem or BFV + some Apex skins.

Maybe even a Win10 store early unlock with 3 months of games included.
It's the Kartridge Monthly that we have been all waiting for

In other news Disgaea 2 is free to play this weekend

One just doesn't learn.... find a good mineshaft in Minecraft, find lots and lots of diamonds and gold.... of course one doesn't survive that shit and of course one doesn't find all that shit again.

My first instinct was to delete the world and uninstall the game!XD


EDIT: And deleted it, I can't handle my games going to shit also when my life is already. I need a "safe space" kind of game.

I could not play minecraft without cheats enabled anymore. One stupid encounter, fall or mistake and you feel that everything is lost and you lose interest.

I cheated a dozen times in my 500hour+ modded minecraft game and would have given up without the cheats after 50 hours. (I right-clicked a satchel with many of my hard-earned tools and other things into a thaumcraft cauldron and lost everything. the backup was set to 2 hours and was 90 minutes ago, I changed the backup to 30 minutes afterwards)

Wait, you're saying that "Robo Titty-Rockets" DIDN'T factor into the risk assessment?

Tried Void Bastards and it seem quite alright! Glad it runs well on my Mac and that it's actually playable with the trackpad.XD

I do think that's also what makes it so great!:D With freedom comes risk or something like that.:D

Sure :)
But after 2 or 3000 hours, you want to finish what modpacks you start. basically, I am done with fighting in minecraft overall, either it is not challenging or stupidly annoying, I just want to create my industrial empire.

Any must have board games on current sale? I'm interested in the genre but prefer a single player oriented game with decentish story.
