Now to purge it from my memory so I don't get temped to reinstall it.

THAT WAS AN AMAZING FINALS.
YESSSSS TEAM SPIRIT. I BELIEVED.
ANIME WINS YET AGAIN!
ANIME WINS YET AGAIN!
All things considered it was a great tournament and a great way to close it.
The only real sad thing is the fact there were no live audience that always provides some great moments and hype.
Congrats Spirit.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps - 67% off. It's cheaper if you already have the first game and buy the bundle
I would say the finals were fun but a bit too stompy. Game 1-4 were very much one sided. Game 5 was very great game plan from the winners and very interesting, and it slowly cripped to them, with an (albeitly) VERY HYPE ending.
Can't call it the best GF series that way (sadly).

Based on the name and avatar, it looks like IGHOR July signed in! 
Yeah, soundtrack is super good. I was going to say it doesn't really feel like an "Open World game" because at the end you had a chunky area to explore but were still gated, but now I'm in Chapter 3 which is, very subtly, subtitled "The Open World" lol, so I'm curious how much it really opens up now.
Also did a 2nd dungeon earlier (the ruins) and that was absolutely excellent as well. Similar to the mines, somehow they made JRPG dungeons kinda spooky and super atmospheric and engaging? It's kinda wild.
Combat system is alrightish. Not my favorite final fantasy combat system (not actually sure what that would be, maybe Lightning Returns?) so far, but yeah it does its job. It looks pretty and is inoffensive enough.
Sunday nights are a torment. The sheer strength of will it takes me to get out of bed on Monday mornings...

There's a curious little game I bought a couple of years ago while it was in early access (it has since left early access a couple of months ago) that I've been meaning to spend some time with, and since it just received a Halloween update, I thought I would post about it. 
This one looks quite interesting. It's an adventure game that takes place in a fake OS from the 80's.

Just finished Impostor Factory
It's a very different game for the To The Moon series storywise, and not at all what I was expecting. Interesting implications from it.

Allow me to recommend another game I quite enjoyed a while back.
For fans of visual novels, or "choices-matter" narrative adventure games, Over the Alps is a pretty sweet game. It has a lovely visual style and soundtrack, and more importantly for a game in this genre, great writing, from Jon Ingold (80 Days, Heaven's Vault) and Harry Tuffs (Sunless Skies, House of Many Doors).
On top of that, the game has received great post-launch support, with multiples extensive updates, including the addition of a whole new story (as a free update), essentially doubling the amount of content, and the game will receive one additional story in the coming months (also as a free update).
If you like the genre, do consider checking this one out in a coming sale:

I don’t think I’ve seen a game description use a swear word before lol
Looks like a good one as well
I agree. It was refreshing to see good dungeons make a comeback in a Final Fantasy game, especially after their complete absence in FF13.
That is indeed useful. I used it for adding bonding points as well. For all Cold Steel games.
Man, the bonding points system needs to go.
!"Game" Devs figuring out new ways to abuse sorting, just add random characters to start of game names to appear first when sorted by name.
It came out?
Smh...

You don't realize how much you dislike a game launcher/client until you are offered a free game on it and decides to not use the key.
Happed with Squadrons on Origin, really wanna play it, but the moment I think about Origin I decided to not use it.
EGS, UPlay and GOG works enough to claim free games even though I never play them. Origin and WinStore? Nah, Im good.
So true.
Not bothered by anything Windows game store or eggs.
I have very very rarely used Origin and doubt ill be getting any games directly off of there. I have quite a few Uplay games (mostly through Steam) but since they left Steam im just not interested in them.
GOG is fine but still prefer Steam.
In the end this was a mistake from the global social media team, what they said that was being removed isn't being removed after all.
Guardians of the Galaxy required specs released. I wish they would say what min spec targets - trying to gauge if Steam Deck will hit 800/60/Med.
I just discovered that on windows (10+) there's an option called "hardware accelerated gpu scheduling" that's supposedly increases performances in games.
I had it disabled and after reading a thread on death stranding, toggled it on and effectively noticed an improvement in Death Stranding.
Is there any reason to leave it disabled? Do you guys use it??

For me it's WinStore and EGS that are in my "Nah, it's ok i've got other games i can play."
I don't have any real issues with Origin or UbiConnect but then i literally only use them as launchers for SP games as i don't play multiplayer stuff. Also, i haven't "updated" to EA Desktop from Origin yet so i have yet to find out just how bad EA Desktop really is.
Oh and i still haven't bothered linking my Amazon Prime up to Twitch or whatever after all these years. I've probably lost out on hundreds of items but eh and i don't really watch Twitch so i don't really have anyone i would give the free sub to anyway.
The Riftbreaker is the surprise of the year for me. It mixes elements from hack& slash, mech warrior, RPG, tower defense and 4X into an unseen package, and it's a blast to play. Game looks amazing as well, especially with ray tracing enabled. 
Seriously, go try this game guys. There's a free demo available, and it's only €23 with the humble choice discount.

Stevey has been playing it for a couple of days now and loves it and he said you're not under constant attack so the Tower Defence parts aren't too annoying if you're not into them. Give the demo a whirl and see. I'm the same though, i'm not a big Tower Defence fan and tend to avoid games where the TD part is a big part of the gameplay.
Played a little of Riftbraker on Gamepass last night. Liked what I saw and will probably buy it on Steam.
While I didn't have any major issues with the time I played, I can see the Windows Store version is already behind at least one patch, judging by their twitter:
I'm always amazed how Microsoft is willing to loose so much money currently on Gamepass, but not fix the most basics things about their service on PC.
Though it's thanks to that incompetence that UWP isn't a bigger threat, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much

I haven't looked into it before, but I imagine that would cause some input latency at the cost of 1-2 frames? Will definitely look into it.
Yes. Defending your base is more than building towers, and only a part of the game. It's like building walls and laser towers in Red Alert.
My problem with anything TD is that it's essentially a game dynamic that rushes me to do something, taking away my agency to play at my own pace. That's simply a non-starter for me on any level of game design, TD or not.
Whenever a game says, "Stop whatever you're doing and take care of this other thing over here RIGHT NOW. Hurry!!! (PS: Hope you prepared for it ahead of time!)", I just nope the hell out.
Not down on the dynamic in principle overall, I can see where it's a rush for the right audience. I just understand that it's not for me.
Closed Network Test announced for Elden Ring. Sadly this trailer suggests that the tests will only be available on consoles.
