    Question Anyone here playing Nightreign?

    A quick update - although it seems I may be the only one playing Nightreign so this may just be going into the void :grinning: After 22 hours in game I have felled half of the Nightlords, and am now working on what many are saying is the toughest boss in the game, The Equilibrius Beast: Libra...

    Good old fashioned fun.

    Maybe the helicopter... maybe it's made of chocolate :grinning: I suppose I'll add my two cents since I'm here. If I play challenging or competitive games it often exacerbates my bad mood. Here's a list of chill games I like that bring down the volume on life: Islanders Dorf Romantik Hidden...

    Question Anyone here playing Nightreign?

    I will say there's been a bigger riff than usual after a FromSoft release. Even tried and true fans have changed their tune when it comes to this title. It leads to a lot of keyboard arguments, but in the end you either like it or you don't. They were pretty clear about what the game was and...

    Question Anyone here playing Nightreign?

    I was definitely worried about it sucking, but once the reviews came out I decided to pull the trigger. At first I was getting frustrated with the new mechanics and was getting my ass kicked. Some major positives: Matchmaking has been flawless from the jump. Even when I booted the game 5...

    Question Anyone here playing Nightreign?

    I know we have some FromSoft fans on here. What are your impressions of Nightreign, whether you've played it yet or not? I've got about a dozen hours in so far and am enjoying getting my ass kicked. Lots of mixed reviews out there, so would love to hear what other's experiences are.

    https://www.pcgamer.com/games/the-elder-scrolls/how-excited-are-we-to-replay-a-shinier-version-of-oblivion-19-years-later/ I am VERY excited. This game got me back into PC gaming in college. I did EVERY quest including the DLC and have zero achievements to show for it (it was a physical copy...

    What point in the "realism to fun" spectrum brings you the most enjoyment...

    I think we've all played games on both sides of this continuum. The games that come to mind for hyper-realism are Tarkov (gunsmithing, bullet physics, status effects) and SCUM (health monitoring, status effects). I've attached a screenshot of SCUMs UI for metabolism status. Honestly most of...

    See how much money you've spent lifetime on Steam...

    I’m a moron… i did 11 years instead of 21. Just over $200 a year. Very proud of myself.

    See how much money you've spent lifetime on Steam...

    Less than I expected, around $4,700 which ends up being just over $400 annually for my tenure on Steam. Steam sales are great.

    The last game you completed

    Just got 100% achievements on Ballionaire. Never thought I’d get the “score a billion points” achievement but I used the rainbow > broom > teleporter > cave > pinball bumper strategy to score mega points (I had already gotten all the other achievements before looking up a way to score a billion...

    Question What is the most immersive game you’ve ever played?

    I played The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion so much that I started thinking about quicksaving in my daily life. When it comes to immersion, though, Alien: Isolation with all the true-to-universe art touches, the clunky retro-punk devices, and my heart beating out of my chest while being stalked by the...

    The last game you completed

    Coming out of Shadow of the Erdtree, finishing my second playthrough of Elden Ring was a cakewalk. Malenia, Blade of Miquella, who has never known defeat, sure as hell knows it now. I completed this playthrough by following the Age of Stars questline. Consort for all eternity with four-armed...
