Windows 11 upgrade finally done. I put it off to the last month, but not the last day. Steam gave itself some sort of update when I first ran it. Wait, what the frak is Teams doing on my home PC now? Grrrrrr....

Yep. Got myself a great big pizza cutter, too, that I'm way too weak to lift. That enemy was a lot easier to beat with the old swinging-tail spell. I've gotten up to the red letter, which points way beyond where I can explore.

I don't know... if it was something original than yeah, for sure, but it isn't. That's how every game was back before games got profitable enough to hire actors and do mo-cap on their faces. BUT, like you said with the quests, it really isn't a focus. People are always yelling for Egosoft to...

Here, too. And when I tried to watch the Mars Tactics video, Edge turned it off almost immediately because 'there were too many advertisements.' I think it assumed every video was an advertisement! Outward 2 looks interesting, but I never did get interested enough in Outward 1 to play it...

Hehe, gonna steal your stuff slowpoke! And then... View: https://youtu.be/QnqvObgvWxg And then there was the Dragon fly View: https://youtu.be/EB60uc7BzPE

More Elden Ring (sorry, put this in the wrong topic!) I'm a nice person, I swear! Me & my shadow That sure is a steep river, with no 'whitewater' at all. Look carefully at that boss' feet. He's actually riding a horse! That must be the strongest horse ever known.

OK, there's a LOT to say about this game. I want to write a Steam review, but it ain't gonna fit in that format, so I'll do it here. Currently, I'm maybe two thirds through the main game and have not got the DLC. First, I need to talk about something this game does incredibly well, because it...

I was surprised to see Black Myth: Wukong is not on sale. It was in the summer sale. <shrug> I don't need much to cover me until December. Eternal Strands is tempting me: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1491410/Eternal_Strands/ Jedi Survivor is good and cheap now...

Stickers: blah! You can only use them when chatting with friends. Emotes are nice every now and again in the forums or when commented, but I have never used a sticker. I'll echo Odyssey's damage sponges. The game was quite good overall, but that was an annoyance. (Though health bars aren't...

GOG's Fall sale is already going on, by the way. Even if you don't want to buy from them, the prices in the Steam sale tend to match what GOG has, so you can preview prices. Like the 3 rebooted Tomb Raider games bundle costing $11.60 USD, or the Phantom Liberty DLC still costing $21.

We'll be happy to give you more work to do!

Game covers?? You mean the image that pops up for the game on Steam/GOG/whatever? Those seem extremely tame unless you're looking at porn games. Even Lara Croft stopped showing her belly button.

I really wouldn't write off GOG. It isn't that hard to keep track of two. They are better at dealing with the old games and, when you buy a CDProjkt game, no middle-man is taking a cut.

A couple of nights ago, I was running around in the Altus region of Elden Ring. There was a little marker on the map showing where the detailed map could be found - way off to the south, where I couldn't go because of a cliff. I had just come from the west and was at the northern edge of the...

Getting off the stock market sounds like a good thing. Exchanging short term investors that just want to see profits NOW for a hodge podge of big investors that just want to see profits in the next couple of quarters - I don't know. I could see it being a good thing, but I could also see it as...
