I played Civilization V with my wife and two friends yesterday. It'd been a while since I played a video game with my wife and we had a great time. I was on my own little island with a single city state, so my only troubles were from the raging barbarians, which were manageable but took most of...

Yeah, short weapons are probably quicker, but I'd rather have a weapon with reach and learn the timing than to have to get close to get a hit in. But I should try out some different weapons when I find some. I'm not saying I'm good at the game by the way, I'm just good enough to not die most of...

I started a new game on my own account and had zero issues, so either the game needed to be restart after changing the video settings or the problem was that my wife was streaming on Discord. Probably the latter, though I'm not sure why that caused the game to pause for like 10 seconds every so...

There seems to be a decent chance that the AI bubble will pop somewhere in the next few years and hopefully prices will plummet then, but we'll see. If prices don't drop down again, I suppose I'll just have to stick with less demanding games. I loved being able to play more games after my last...

My wife just tried to play Elden Ring for the first time, but for some reason the game kept freezing for several seconds every once in a while. It seemed like it was loading something as the fans would suddenly spin up too, but task manager indicated that CPU and GPU stayed below 100%. I tried...

I finished Cyberpunk 2077, so now I can finally return to Baldur's Gate 3. Or maybe Disco Elysium. Or maybe I'll start on The Witcher 3 or pick up the Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlords DLC and play that some more... I haven't had time to start up anything new on our good PC though, so I've just...

I haven't heard that expression before. I have been having trouble sleeping though, as my kid has a nasty cough that has woken her up in the middle of the night twice now, interrupting my sleep in the process. Meanwhile my wife has a stomach bug, so I really need the sleep to keep my immune...

I got the Temperance ending.

Thank you. I don't remember seeing the logo of Arc Raiders before, even though I must have at least once.

I finished Cyberpunk 2077 today. At least the main mission, I skipped quite a lot of optional content. Gameplay is great. I went for a stealth build and never got tired of hacking the cameras, taking a couple of enemies out with quickhacks and then shooting the rest with my silenced pistol...

The fact that the game supports so many different play styles is quite amazing considering it could have easily just turned into a free for all all of the time. I saw this thread on Reddit today that described an entirely different way to play that I hadn't seen mentioned before...

Half-Life: Alyx was one of the last ones that stumped me. Luckily someone in the comments of the article itself mentioned it. I still don't know what #18 is.

2 new freebies from Epic: Godzilla Voxel Wars. It's like Into The Breach but with Godzilla. https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/godzillawars-2c30e4 EDIT: for some reason this game is unavailable in a whole bunch of countries. Zoeti. Use poker hands to activate skills in this turn-based...

https://www.pcgamer.com/games/do-you-recognize-what-game-titles-these-letters-are-from-lets-get-alphabetical-in-our-latest-quiz/ I got 19/26 pretty easily, then 3 more with a bit more thinking and 2 more by doing a reverse image search and getting video game suggestions from an AI. The only...

I'm afraid you don't really have a choice here besides not playing the game. Steam has to adhere to local laws, so if you want to complain you'd have to take it up with your government.
