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.

Developer Preview is closed 🛑, UI batching big FPS gains 🚀, tying up all the loose ends 🪢
Well, my key hasn't been revoked yet.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.
I think part of what I'm liking about Pillars right now (not the sole reason) is the turn based mode really makes it feel like the tactical game I often imagine tabletop D&D to be (Which it ain't). I'm in a dungeon right now and I've got my fighter and rogue blocking a door, fighting some enemies, so the remaining enemies need to run around the other side of the dungeon to even get close to something to attack. Something I always imagine when I'm designing or thinking about encounters in real life, but which never actually happens at the table.
Also interesting is that turn order is fluid. My fighter starts a fight with a big crossbow, but then is essentially out for two turns or so, because of its unwieldy nature. In the meantime, my Rogue gets 3 turns in a round before the fighter comes back around, since he's using light and fast weapons. I like the idea that a more dexterous character doesn't just get moved up in the turn order, but gets to potentially act more frequently
That said, my fighter, when his turn comes back around, can switch to his sword and shield, which will bump him back to acting more frequently.
The writing is also pretty good, which should be obvious given it's an Obsidian game. I kind of thought I was pretty sick of fantasy settings as a whole, but I'm genuinely quite enjoying Pillars of Eternity. I've somehow put almost 9-hours into it since I started playing it like last Thursday. Doesn't sound like much, but it is quite a bit for me.

The developer of Farm Together 2 has added anti-cheat 🙄
I finished that game and don't (like I believe you said) remember much. You are making me want to reinstall it.
By the way, you helped me find a solution for using my desktop remotely by suggesting Moonlight. That's great, and I still use it some times, but I suddenly realized I could download the Steam Link software. Nice things about Link are that you can set a PIN in Steam. Also, Moonlight lagged a bit for me (due to the distance of my laptop from my router) if I bumped it up to 1080p. I don't have that problem with Link. I swear I haven't noticed any latency at all.

Weird thing to worry about people cheating in what I imagine is a co-op game. Maybe they intend to add MTX next.
I tend to switch between the two, as far as Moonlight and Steam Link go. Just depends on whichever is performing better at the time, but one thing I really like about Link on my Deck over Moonlight is that it'll keep my controller config.
I play Abiotic Factor natively on my Deck, but sometimes stream it, so it's nice to have my buttons remain the consistent between the two methods, which is a hassle with Moonlight.
Edit: and actually lately I've been pondering if I should get rid of my laptop and just switch back entirely to streaming, since I recently upgraded my WiFi AP and it's about 300 times faster.

Why is Battle.net still a thing? Extra launchers is one thing, but one company requiring two different launchers is a whole other thing.

Guess they just keep it going as its been around for long enough
play your desktop...
Drawquarium on Steam
Draw your own fish and unlock new ways to decorate your aquarium. If you feed them well, they will gain a metallic shimmer as they age. Will you be the one to raise a golden fish in this relaxing sandbox experience?

I may pick this up for my younger, since he loves to draw and color. Will probably have to hook up an actual mouse vs the touchpad I currently use where he plays though. Wonder if I have one small enough for a 6 year old?
Patiently waiting for Diablo 4's next expac. to drop next week. Blizzard has been dropping lore videos and details about whats to come. Cant wait to jump into it and see only warlocks everywhere.
I started playing Mouse P.I. For Hire. You play a mouse in a cartoon film noir-fps like game. Its got a cool soundtrack and you can have the camera look old-timey along with the soundtrack being either in great stereo sound, or brownwax or vinyl. Its a cool feature.
pretty graphic too and hard i would say. Havent played all that much, but its neat.
Arc Raiders still annoys me. Just crossed 1700 knocks and nearing 300k in raider damage lol.

As i continue to play Path of exile, the end is almost in sight for the 28 challenges. At 22 challenges in the bag, and 23rd one just another map to play, we're on track. but two of the more annoying aspects has been technical.
My first problem? textures and assets of the game are not loading in properly. i often face invisible bosses or enemies. At best its a mild nuisance at worst its a game breaking bug. For bosse especially that can one shot you, not being able to see attacks and just falling over dead is annoying and when precious resources are being invested, it adds insult to injury.
The second problem has been the random disconnects. Whats worse is that i can't connect to my session and throws me into a new one. All those resources you spent? gone. The game is not just delaying progress but also stealing from me.
i suspect my aging rig is the culprit which doesn't bode well. if future leagues is going to be like this, i might as well not bother play the game. i would have probably cut my losses and stopped playing if i hadn't committed so much time to it. Fingers crossed that the challenging boss fight is painless and helps me get the 2 challenges i need. I have 11 attempts banked up...

I had a similar problem with Hearthstone on my phone yesterday. I love the solo mode Tombs of Terror, it's one of the few games I keep coming back to every so often. However, despite being a solo mode, the game is still saved on the Blizzard servers.
So yesterday I was halfway through a boss fight when I put my phone on standby to start dinner. When I wanted to continue later the game got stuck trying to reconnect to my fight, then eventually gave up and just booted me to the main menu and I lost all of my progress.
Luckily I did manage to beat the boss in one go on the second try.
Been playing some more on my Path of Exile 2 character in SSFHC. Made it to lvl 85 now and my homebrew build is starting to do its job. Still a bit squishy, but as long as I don't make any dumb mistakes, I think I should be able to squeeze to level 90 and then I'll be happy with whatever comes next.
