    Happy New Year! General Game Discussion--January 2026

    Nevermind, I messed up again. I didn't think I would need to use a healing potion because I was kiting the enemies, but I got taken out by a dragon I couldn't even see breathing ice from behind a tree. I should've just used the potion. New Ring character is currently using Smeagol as its mount...

    Which game has the best intrigue mechanics?

    Shadows of Forbidden Gods supposedly does this really well, but I had no idea what I was supposed to do even after I went through the tutorial.

    Power in The Planet Crafter is just a global resource, meaning generators don't need to be connected or close to machines that use power.

    Happy New Year! General Game Discussion--January 2026

    I'm still not in a mood to pick up and learn a new game and all of the games I was playing are on the new PC, which my wife has been using to gear up for the launch of World of Warcraft: Midnight. So more FrogComposband it is. As the ring race you learn new spells from the magical rings/amulets...

    My Sniper died in FrogComposband. I decided to go back to the (almost) bottom of the dungeon to see if I could nab some good gear. A unique enemy saw me so I teleported away and before I could do anything else I was dead. Apparently teleporting away is ill advised at the lower depths because...

    Which game has the best romances?

    I don't know how well it holds up, but I think Dragon Age: Origins did it really well when I played it

    January 2026 PCG Article Discussion

    I just saw this pop up in the news reel in my Steam library: https://www.pcgamer.com/movies-tv/a-deeply-social-psychological-fallout-shelter-reality-tv-series-is-coming-from-the-producers-of-the-squid-game-reality-series/ I would think that there isn't much overlap between Fallout fans and...

    I've gotten farther in FrogComposband than I've ever gotten. So for the first time I got to mess around with the systems that let you generate random pieces of loot. First up was the Gamble building, where you can pay to get a random piece of loot of a specific category. I bought a piece of...

    What are the best games where You play as a true villain?

    Overlord is another example of a game where being the villain is mostly comedic. Rimworld lets you do quite a lot of evil things. The Rimworld community has a running gag about how a lot of colonies will have clothing or furniture made out of human leather. Crusader Kings 3 allows you to...

    I love stealth, but only if I can kill/knock out enemies if I'm detected and go back to stealth afterwards.

    Hytale Discussion and Info

    That's absolutely insane for a game that was released in Early Access two days ago, with whole chunks of the game still missing.

    Happy New Year! General Game Discussion--January 2026

    I played some more FrogComposband today. I've mainly been finishing up some dungeons to increase my stats and doing some quests in the hopes of getting any good gear, but so far I'm not having a lot of luck. I probably should be delving deeper to find good loot. All of the good players rush to...
