Pinball? It seems like an ideal fit and the thread just got bumped so look in there for inspiration.
Phone games on an emulator? lol
Tris is the best advice you're going to get.
For Pinball? Fuck VR, portrait mode is the way to go. Oh, and a 120Hz+ monitor too!

60hz has always been "good enough" for me, but playing Pinball on a high refresh rate monitor is literally a game changer...

I want the new Fire Emblem but those Nintendo games are expensive as hell and it feels wrong in my mind to buy them.

I also have the older wireless adapter for Xbone controllers and never had an issue with it. I was actually kinda disappointed when I got it since I ordered it from Amazon when the newer small one came out and I was hoping they would have shipped me the newer one... but now reading about issues with the new one I guess I should be happy to get the older one lol.
Amazon has sent me a new one under warranty, so I'm curious if this one works better.

Ive played about 5 hours of this over the last couple of days. Im liking it.....sort of.
Its got some nice management sim type things if you like those. Build a little farm, plant crops, look after animals etc.

It is a bit grindy, lots of waiting around for things to grow/produce. Im still in the campaign/tutorial mode and its slow going. You get set tasks but some of them are real time busters but if you like buildery games and if you like farms then give it a look.

I loved my time with Democracy 3 but damn it's a crashing fest. Democracy Atrica is even worse if you let it use Dem 3 DLCs.

I hope Democracy 4 is better regarding bugs / technical issues at least because it's a good game, when it works.

You say that but everyone knows that you can't take your hands off Let's Sing 2019 lashdude so let's hope for one of those 'when it's done' releases in order to get a solid game that works.

Played another game of Dota underlords and ended up last! Haha wow what a reminder that one isn't good at Dota underlords just because you have a dream team, you are good at Dota underlords if you can build a good team with the RNG you are given.

And manage your finances properly! My biggest weakness is excessive rerolling, thank God I am not into gambling.

Today I played Monster Hunter World for the first time with my new graphics card and the high-res texture pack. Finally 60fps and it looks good <3
Really looking forward to Iceborn,

How can you guys browse GMG? Its really a shitty system. I can't even sort by discount.
Yeah. I agree. Its terrible. People (devs) moan about discover-ability on Steam and I know they aren't the same but GMG is just a store and as a store its........Shit.
Hmh I feel little stuck in Return of the Obra Dinn, any tips on how to progress, without telling me what to do?XD
Obra Dinn is such a good game and the feeling you get from finally working it all out is great.

How far have you got?

Not sure about Yennefer, everything else looked promising though. Except the soundtrack, though maybe I'm a bit spoiled there by CD Projekts amazing work
It looks like they're going to really play up the fact that Sorceresses in the Witcher world don't look like they appear, and use magic to look hotter, in most cases

Isn't it that they literally use magic to alter their physical bodies? Like, sure they used to look deformed, but nothing about them is "fake", it's actual flesh, and bone, after the magic is done.

I've heard it interpreted both ways. Either way, the show is going to go in harder on it than the games did.

It looks very generic, much like every other stupid show with a badass person slaying monsters. I am not excited at all about it.
eh, we'll see ... might still be decent ;)

XCOM meets FTL ....... ish

I like it. Its got a bit of budget charm. Only played an hour and havent really delved too deep but looks like it has some complexity and customisation.

Worth a fiver.

I remember from the finale of The Last Wish, that Geralt figures out/guesses that Yennefer was once a hunchback, due to the slightly unnatural stance she had (presumably something like muscle memory, and even then it took even a Witcher long to really notice it, and it felt more like guesswork on his part) and I'm sure that there isn't a single witch in the books that actually uses illusion magic to permanently alter their appearance (while they can appear like different people altogether, that would take quite a bit of energy to maintain for extended periods of time, from my understanding. And it wouldn't fool other witches, not unless it's a very high level spell, which would be even harder to maintain and there aren't that many people that can pull those off to begin with)

questions for those that have tried the gamepass on PC. is there a setting that will have achievements pop up to know when you unlocked one?
