    It's honestly a pretty good survival game, especially considering it's free.

    Character Height. When it's an option, how tall or short do you make your character? And any other character height related thoughts...

    Like Zloth, I make most of my characters about 6' because I'm 6'1 (which means I typically make them slightly bigger than default), but every once in a while I set the height to its lowest value just to see how ridiculous the game gets.

    December 2025 General Games Discussion

    Picking a different project to pursue in the StoneBlock 4 modpack for Minecraft worked great. And right at the end of my play session I actually managed to make the generator I'd been wanting to make, after defeating the fearsome Ender Chicken. Although the Ender Chicken turned out to be rather...

    I played a bit of Gauntlet today with my wife and two friends. Of course I decided to play as the most complicated character, the wizard, and while I did fairly well I'll need some more practice to not get overwhelmed when the screen gets filled with enemies. I don't even really remember what...

    The PC Gamer Quiz (Ongoing)

    https://www.pcgamer.com/games/i-plugged-12-game-names-into-google-translate-and-kept-hitting-go-how-many-can-you-guess-the-original-title-of/ 6/12. Some of these were straightforward, but then others were not which made me doubt everything. I managed to get 8/10.

    I have an online friend who I talk to infrequently (we're both bad at staying in touch) who messaged me today to wish me a merry Christmas. After a bit of talking he asked if I would mind giving me my PayPal because he tried gifting me a game but couldn't because Steam doesn't let you gift games...

    Resource packs only cost money for the bedrock version I think. The bedrock version is better optimised than the Java version, but all of the (free) mods are made for Java.

    I'm getting annoyed with StoneBlock 4, the Minecraft modpack I've been playing. I finally reached tier 8 of my magic chickens, but it's become obvious that the late game for all of the mods is a lot less integrated than the early game. The problem is that each mod uses common Minecraft...

    Have a nice Christmas everybody! We already did our Christmas eve. I got my kid Scribblenauts and Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2 for the Switch and I'll get her Switch Sports tomorrow, as I'm hoping it'll go on sale then since it did last year.

    Games You Are Looking Forward To the Most in 2026

    I'm most excited about the upcoming DLC for Barotrauma: Home & Harbor, which will add base-building to the game. I'm also optimistic for Subnautica 2 and I'm curious about the Fable reboot. The first Fable game especially was quite innovate, but I'm not sure I'd enjoy a similar game nowadays...

    More on yellow paint: Are you a "yellow paint" hater?

    Yeah, the old Assassin's Creed games had pigeons with some hay on ledges where you could jump off to land in a hay bale, which worked great. I think it's fine to make it obvious where a player can or cannot climb, but do that by making the climbable surface stand out overall, instead of making...

    What's your favorite game for watching the numbers go up?

    ARPGs are pretty good for watching numbers go up too. @Colif 's thread about Slormancer is a good example.

    I've continued with the StoneBlock 4 modpack for Minecraft. I can now burn diamonds for power and I got a big battery, which allowed me to make an item that automatically repairs all of my equipment. Now I can focus on getting the best equipment without worrying about it breaking eventually. I...
