    Dunno. It happens when one of their updates changes something about planets that requires them to re-generate the galaxies. OK, I just checked, and they don't want to do any more resets. The last one was 2018. There was an update that added a bunch of new biomes, but they did it by simply...

    August 2025 General Game Discussion

    Found an underground river area in Elden Ring, which has been fun to explore. I can't say that I've ever seen a game with rivers that run steep enough to easily see the slope but didn't bother putting rapids in or anything like that. The river is like a lake that slopes downward! I tried to...

    That's what I'm assuming, too. I'm expecting lots of interesting stuff under the waves, too, because otherwise it's going to be exceedingly dull to cross an ocean. But what about the plains? Also, will the mountains be mountain sized, or will they be video game mountains that are short enough...

    YT channels and random interests.

    (Zloth looks suspiciously at @Zuruchon's post that seems to be reiterating what the previous post said) Nah, can't be AI. The bots always end with two or three emotes. ;)😂🤣 P.S. Oh yeah, the video I found... View: https://youtube.com/shorts/nIoMzVJrhhE?si=Ui-nIdGEcQh9ymKZ

    I went into a catacomb dungeon. Found a big nasty guy down below me (an "omen") that didn't look like he had any ranged attack. Sweet! I fired away at him from above... but every time I cast a spell, I inch forward a little and eventually fell in. The close range battle went poorly and I...

    If only she had brought along some graph paper and a pencil so she could map it out! ;)

    What have you bought so far this year...?

    Elden Ring FF7 Rebirth (10% off because I bought it so EARLY!) Talos Principle 2 Dragon's Dogma 2 Skin Deep And some soundtracks and minor DLC. Two of the 4 games have been finished, one is playing now, and two are pending. (Skin Deep is a short one that should take a week or less.)

    Backpack Hero? <switching to Crocodile Dundee voice> That's not a backpack! That's a backpack! Uhoh, am I starting a Backpack Battle? https://store.steampowered.com/app/2427700/Backpack_Battles/

    Steams hours played tab is not accurate

    Yeah, I've seen mod startup programs mess up the hours, too. Regarding "offline" - there's more than one of those. The "offline" under the Friends menu just means you appear offline. @neogunhero is talking about the really offline. Steam might not track if it's down, too. I don't know...

    No, there's a proper path! From the Stormshack save point, go under the huge bridge and keep following the road to where it becomes a ruined bridge. You can jump down from there, head to the castle wall, then follow it so you go around the east side of the castle. There are a few spawns of...

    Games Inbound, August 2025: News About Games 'Coming Soon' from PCG

    Bloodlines 2 putting two clans in a DLC is weak, but it won't matter to me. By the time I get around to the game, it will be part of the complete edition anyway.

    The PC Gamer Quiz (Ongoing)

    Oh come on, #4 could be a bunch of games! Some games are going to be rough to put in. Is it "Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines" or "Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines" or "Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines" or.... maybe they ignore non-alphanumerics? Nope, I just tried one and it needed...

    Coconut Monkey Cornerclub

    I do that every few months between my normal glasses and computer glasses (set to work best at arm's length). I can tell I've got the wrong glasses on just looking at the hallway, but normally I'm not paying attention enough to notice. I know what the hallway looks like, so as long as it's...

    Yeah. I got to pick up some grapes for the nice lady, but otherwise it was strangely empty. It opened up into the next area, but I went around the side of the castle quite a while back, so I had already been there. (That's where I picked up the lightning spear thing.) I never did get the...

    Beautiful Game Appreciation

    More Elden Ring Yeahhhh, I don't think I'm going to keep wearing this helmet. Why does the fantasy sky have a more realistic number of stars than the realistic games!? Playing it cool.
