    Just Cause 3 Discussion Thread....

    The military outposts are getting a lot harder. Not only are there a lot more vehicles, even the infantry has a lot more firepower and is a lot tougher, though the ones that are doing dodge rolls are just ridiculous. I died a bunch of times today. The missions aren't too bad though. I just did...

    General Game Discussion for February 2026

    I tried Enderal on my other PC and it got to the main menu, then crashed. I tried again and managed to open the game and play a bit. It's honestly really impressive for a mod, but the "for a mod" part is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. For some reason I decided to put the difficulty on...

    Just Cause 3 Discussion Thread....

    I completed my first region yesterday, doing all the missions and liberating every outpost and town. I got a loading screen tip about using the remote explosives while on a parachute, but it turns out they're really hard to aim. I also did a couple of missions in the new region and liberated a...

    January 2026 PCG Article Discussion

    https://www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/google-project-genie-prototype-launch/ Even if we assume that AI will one day be able to generate games on the fly that don't feel like a janky mess, I don't think they will replace pre-made games. There is quite a big social aspect to gaming and not just for...

    Just Cause 3 Discussion Thread....

    I haven't quit yet. I did a couple more missions, liberation and challenges. I somehow managed to avoid crashing on my very first plane flight. It helped that I took off from the top of a mountain down a cliff so I had some room to correct when I spun out of control for a second. My wife saw...

    Happy New Year! General Game Discussion--January 2026

    You can do it with one player as well. You can play most games asynchronously, so you can start playing game A, get a bunch of unlocks for game B and then quit A and start B and the unlocks will be available. Each game needs its own mod that helps randomise the game and to send updates to the...

    What do you think about thesteam price fixing monopoly?

    What do you mean with price fixing? As far as I'm aware Steam does not influence the price a game is sold by, except for the part where they take 30% of each sale.

    Question Strange Laptop Noise

    There should be no reason to wipe it either before or after installing it, unless you really want it completely empty again.

    Happy New Year! General Game Discussion--January 2026

    I told my wife about a video I watched of 9 people playing an Archipelago randomiser and now she's recruiting people to set up our own. I've mentioned Archipelago before, but as a quick reminder: Archipelago is a piece of software that allows you to link randomisers together, so that when you...

    Windows natively handles zips and has for a while, so I wonder what people are still using WinRAR for.

    Just Cause 3 Discussion Thread....

    It's getting a bit repetitive for me. I zoomed out and saw how much more of the map I haven't done yet and I don't think I have it in me to liberate the entire thing.

    Let's Play--Nominate and Vote...(Experimental)

    I do still want to try to continue Enderal as well. I need to see if it'll start up on the other PC.

    Just Cause 3 Discussion Thread....

    I mentioned to one of my friends that I started playing Just Cause 3 and then beat one of his records while on call with him, which prompted him to download the game. He said the story is pretty decent, but I've skipped every single cutscene so far. I've died a couple of times now, mostly...

    Happy New Year! General Game Discussion--January 2026

    I stayed up way too late playing Just Cause 3 yesterday. You go from liberating 1-2 places, then doing 1-2 challenges, then maybe doing a story mission, then doing it all over again. It's a very addicting gameplay loop because each thing only takes maybe 15 minutes tops, so it's very easy to do...
