General Game Discussion thread for April 2026

I may have to find some way of playing that again....

It certainly makes me want to continue with that playthrough I started. Though I'm not sure I see myself getting that far in that game, given I'm not a huge platformer fan.

Forgot to post this. But I used an Android build of this tool to create an APK file to install on my Android stuff. You need to legally dump your Mario 64 cartridge that you already own, which you've had in storage for 30 years to get the ROM file, which you definitely shouldn't just download from any number of ROM sites, which are very easily found by just Googling what you want and adding the word "ROM" to the end of the query.

The opening of Windrose is janky and doesn't leave a great first impression, but the game works fine after that. The opening attempts to be a scripted story event. They should have just left it off for now. Survival players don't usually care about story.

A definite possibility on these forums! I've got Star Raiders and Missile Command cartraiges for Atari 800 back in my living room on the book shelves.

s&box - Update 26.04.15 - Steam News

Developer Preview is closed 🛑, UI batching big FPS gains 🚀, tying up all the loose ends 🪢

store.steampowered.com

Thank you for everyone that has helped us during this period - the developer preview is now closed!

...We'll be open again on Steam on the 28th April for $20.

...Out of 800,000 people who joined the developer preview, 40,000 get to keep it and the rest have been revoked.

Who got to keep it:

• Developers who have published games people have played
• Anyone who has purchased any cosmetics
• Anyone who has played a good amount and actually opened the game this year

Well, my key hasn't been revoked yet. I played a good couple hours of it this year. I wonder if I'll be able to keep the game. They did say the revocation process takes a little while so maybe I'll get the message later on in the future. Strange how they are doing it, I've never seen this done before.

Took a little break from Crimson Desert, as I have been playing that game for over 187 hours (20 of those hours through idling) since its release on the 19th of March. I have an act boss I am soon going to kill, so will be jumping on the game on Sunday.

I had a visit from one of my nephews, so we did a 14-hour Dark Souls run and I finally finished the game. Today or tomorrow I will finish the DLC and then jump on Dark Souls 3 whenever it gets on sale.

Same as you're well aware lol. Loving the game but need a break, 70 hours on one game in one month is pretty insane for me.

I've been contemplating what to play in between Crimson Desert, then I remembered I have a lot of games that I didn't finish that I'd like to. Games like Skin Deep, Captain Wayne Vacation Desperation and Arco, all bought last year but never fully finished. I bet it would only take a handful of hours to beat them all so maybe I should do that this weekend.
