I played a bit more of Cyberpunk 2077 today during my break. I don't know which quest lines actually have an impact on the ending, so I've just been picking up some of the easier ones to cross off. The only one I definitely want to finish is to , but that one seemed like it might take a while so...

I really have to try NetHack some day. I love Angband, which is another open-source roguelike that started in the 1980s and while the last release is from 2023, it's still under constant development, with the last change to the source code only 18 hours ago.

https://www.pcgamer.com/games/how-well-do-you-know-your-videogame-goblins-were-giving-the-most-underappreciated-monsters-around-their-due-in-our-latest-quiz/ I started out strong, but only got 6/13 in the end.

I played a bit more of my Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord game. I'm not sure what I'm doing right, but for some reason my party absolutely obliterates every enemy party I encounter. I can now lead up to 188 men and whenever I fight enemies of comparable size I typically lose single-digit numbers. I...

Besides the PC, I also enjoyed playing board games, but there wasn't one specific one that was my favourite. I did play with pens a lot as a kid. I would hold two pens in each hand, one being the knight and the other its sword, and did all kinds of cool sword fights. Of course to my parents it...

I woke up at 6 AM today to watch the Leonides meteor swarm with my kid. We could see the part of the sky from our balcony, but there's quite a lot of light pollution there and my wife and I ended up seeing only one shooting star and I'm not sure my daughter saw any. Hopefully we'll have more...

IQ is relative to other people of your age and typically does not change as you age. Your IQ results give some indication of how smart you are. Or at least how good your abstract logic is. A result of 125 means you're "smarter" than 95% of the people of your age. There's no real reason why an...

I played a bit more of the Barotrauma campaign I have going on with my friends. We finally made it to an outpost where they sell tier 3 subs, but they only sold transport ones and none of them looked particularly good, so we'll have to keep going. I also played a bit more of Heat Signature. I...

An update on my PC situation. Today it again refused to start up, but this time moving RAM sticks around didn't do anything. I took all of them out and carefully used a little plastic sliver to scrape the sockets, which removed a bunch of dust, and then removed as much dust from the rest of the...

It's not strange that they're mimicking Humble Bundle by the way, it's made by former Humble Bundle employees.

It seems like it has some stability issues, but I would expect most of those to be fixed pretty quickly. I did happen to see @dxchase already left a positive review: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198162935134/recommended/3906660/

Same.

My old PC currently only has a big passive cooler that isn't bolted down because I lost the screws, but it still works. Though it started having issues starting up again, so I have to occasionally switch the RAM sticks around which somehow fixes the issue. I don't always notice a game is...

There was a story a while ago about a player in EVE Online who befriended another player for 6 months just to steal his ship. That seems like it goes a bit too far to me.
