Nah, I'mma fucking say it, if this is "unforgettable" then there are some damn low standards out there

You're on horseback, the music plays and a logo pops up.
Calm your jam.


But were it not for a simple piece of feedback, that beloved moment in Ghost of Tsushima which has brought streamers to tears wouldn't have existed the way it does.

oh the Agony sequel got a date
Agony was such a curious game
From a visual and atmospheric standpoint, it was incredible and achieved exactly what it set out to do. Also fairly solid in terms of providing a kind of demonic horror. Genuinely spooky at times. I just got frustrated with it after a while due to not really knowing where to go or what to do. The game doesn't give you a whole lot of direction. I commend the team behind it for going all in on the aesthetic and atmosphere though. Its so visually impressive! Here's hoping the sequel is better.

Tried to install some more RAM into my PC... That turned my day into pure hell. Ugh, constant errors to do with memory.
It's become more stable now, but if it hitches a fit one more time I'm returning this and getting some stuff that should be faster than what I need.

I know people said it is bad but Mortal Shell is very cheap in my country 🤔
Just play it, then refund it if you think it sucks! 2 hours should be more than enough time for you to see if this (frankly, atrocious) game is the one for you! :blobxorcism:

Caveat: since you just recently refunded Art of Rally, you'll probably get a warning from Valve about not using the refund system as a demo service. It's already happened to me before haha.

I have my 5.1 system set up now and at first I was having some issues with Windows and getting it to work properly and I was also having audio sync issues with my XSX and HBO Max. I'm happy with the results right now. I can throw a grande behind me in Apex and then I can hear it with my back speakers.


I now have a home theater in my room that's pretty nice.

I'm realizing it's probably for the best if I just... Wait, on getting RAM, until I can just build a whole new PC. If that's ever gonna be possible.

Still tempted by Mortal Shell. On the other hand I don't like the turn to stone thing and several reviews mentions deep flaws. I guess I could play Hellpoint, but it has been heavily panned by critics too. Now, remains to be seen if I would share the sentiments or like the games anyway.
But it's a gamble.
And I must think of the Holy Grail in December.

How would you compare keepass to bitwarden? I use keepass as its still all local.
well Bitwarden isn't local :p but it is open-source, and you can host your own if you want

but other than that - it's really great ... and the paid tier is basically "the minimum we can give people that won't really affect free users" (as with most open-source projects)

I was in the mood for some hack&slash action, so I decided to replay Chronicon. But for some reason, my brand new character owns all the money and upgrade materials from my previous characters. Starting a new game with 30 million cash partly breaks the games balance, since you can buy anything you want and the (money) penalty for dying is peanuts compared to my "fortune". What a bad design decision :(

I guess I could play Hellpoint, but it has been heavily panned by critics too.
I liked Hellpoint a lot. Very decent combat and level design, it's major weakness is the lack in enemy variety. The devs are working on DLC, so perhaps this will be solved in the near future.

Mortal Shell is doing one of those Twitch drop things where the more you watch participating streamers the more you unlock cosmetic shit in game.
Yesterday there were 3 streamers, which was abysmal.
Today there are 0 streamers.

How will I unlock the Helmet ? #HelmetGate

The joys of staggered releases because of exclusivity period, excuse me if I don't shed a tear.

Sounds like a total success! :grinning-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Microsoft Solitaire is digital crack and has ruined my life.
I overcooked biscuits I was baking for our guests this morning because I was busy playing and had to make a second batch.

I'm addicted and I'm off to play more now....with my slightly overcooked biscuits. Bad for my health too :(

I was very pleasantly surprised to find tri-peak solitaire as one of the modes. That’s my favorite type. Didn’t know it was called that before playing this either. I should see if I can find an inoffensive variant of it on my phone….

If you're on android, let me recommend the following:

It's a collection of the usual solitaire suspects, completely ad-free and free on the store. I know, right? Unbelievable...

That sounds amazing! Unfortunately I'm on iOS, and I found out that Microsoft's app omits tri-peak. Apps are such a mess nowadays. Everything's asking for a subscription to get out of ads. No one-off purchases anymore.
