    Soundtrack Recommendations Please

    I've been super into Bits and Hits versions of soundtracks. Here's one of my favorites that tugs on the nostalgia strings: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25Bc1rHffu4&t=844s

    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...

    The last game you completed

    I've got six hours into this game and I fell off. I felt like I was trying too much to go back and forth between islands without much guidance to what I was supposed to be doing. Eventually I got bored and left. Should I dive back in?

    The last game you completed

    I beat Shadow of the Erdtree last night. Extremely difficult final boss battle but I did it without cheesing or respec’ing my character. If I could do it, anyone can with enough persistence. Such an incredible expansion, it’s like a whole standalone game. Very detailed level design, the art...

    Super Bowl

    Did any of you watch the Super Bowl? I host a large party each year, had a great turnout but unfortunately the game was terrible. I'm a Kendrick fan so the halftime show was great for me, but it seems to be divisive between different folks I know. What are your thoughts on the game / halftime...

    The last game you completed

    I finished the main campaign of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 last night. I had a blast from start to finish. The unrelenting action and detailed environments were an absolute treat. Additionally, the game ran beautifully on my 3070 and i7-7700K. I was worried because I had heard about...

    Who are your favorite female game characters and why?

    Mona from Max Payne 2 I love her cold demeanor. She was a perfect counterpart to Max and in the drab, noire setting of the game and with grim backstories for both of them, seeing them thaw each other out was cinema... plus she lived in an abandoned funhouse which is one of the best levels in...
