Holy moly that nose took a beating.

Had a 1155 socket cpu and DDR3 ram, so I picked up an i5 7600k, 16gb of Ripjaws (goddamn DDR4 is expensive) and putting it all on an EVGA Stinger z270 and in a CM Elite 130 (front is kinda ugly imo, especially coming from a Corsair, but seemed like the best functionality and size otherwise). Only things I'm bringing over is my gtx770 and PSU.

Super excited to do what's basically my first full new build since I built a few friends' a few years back.

Sorry to break up the party boys. But, I had to get this off my concious. It makes me feel soooo bad

Been playing some super difficult Kingdom Of Loathing recently after my brief Tera snafu.

Nearing the completion of my third acsension as sauceror on normal mode to get a feel for things. Reading the clan's chat is always good for a few laughs.

All the other games seem so dang easy peasy when compared to KOL or Tera tbh.

I think this is the way I'm suppose to post in the video games thread right?

Space all my sentences out like this? Frickin' in my thirties; yet, I was too old to hang when I wasn't in my thirties. Smurf this nobs. So it goes.

Finished Witcher 3 main story yesterday. I've loved the general challenge the highest difficulty level has given me, but for the final boss fights it was boring AF. The Eredin fight was 10 minutes of "dodge when he teleports, slash him after, run towards him in an arc when he's casting abilities". I wouldn't have minded a fight that changed at specific health stages (like different abilities or whatever). 

I got the "good" ending for Ciri.

now its time to start modding the game!

Or beginning the expansions

The thing to be mindful for with mods is warnings in the mod description or from users about save file corruption. A number of mods (off my head for example the one that displays all PoIs on the map, and another that affected Triss) caused some players I know to get stuck and not be able to progress. Most aren't like that though.

I got the expansion pass at the last sale, looking forward to more content. I installed the "All quest markers on map" mod, but that's it. I'd like to play the game as much as intended.

I've tried some inventory mods, but none seemed to work properly for me. I'd like to filter the crafting menu a little better (e.g. only show gear that's within 3 levels of my current level), sort by level...

And if there's one thing I wish I could change (don't know if it's even possible with mods) is having access to your equipped inventory while shopping. When I'm upgrading gear, I find it super annoying that when buying/crafting a new piece of equipment, I first have to exit the vendor, swap gear, go back to the vendor, dismantle the old gear and then back to my inventory to put back the runes...

I also might consider this mod if I ever do another play through: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/2788/?

idk I think it's the free Holiday game this year, but sometimes the free games stay free forever like Fallout 1/2 did on GOG

Playing Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge.

Supports 480p

Original Xbox

[Skull_Angel]

Bought more games from the Steam sale... Probably gonna sit there like the rest because I've been playing games like Destiny 2 with the little downtime I feel like I have.

Destiny 2 is fun, but it gets old quick after you complete the weeklies and aren't playing with other people. They really need to add more chat options because locking it down to fire team and personal chat makes you feel like you're in a bubble.

[OfTheWild]

Hob
South Park: The Fractured But Whole
Remember Me

... picked those up from the holiday sales and such. So far Hob and Remember Me are pretty awesome.

[noisyturtle]

Fractured Butt Whole. It's OK but all the retracing areas constantly is annoying. I'm playing as a black ginger binary-gender Jew.

[Halverson]

Xenoblade chronicles 2, finally. Hard to pay attention when playing and watching X-files though

I wanted to like that game more than I eventually did. I had a lot of hope and fun when it came out. Definitely got my moneys worth.. However, I just uninstalled it a couple days ago after having not played for some weeks. I put an embarrassing amount of time into the first one and I'm super bummed I feel this way about the second, I didn't even bother to buy the dlc. I'm hoping this game turns around cause it was a blast. I am glad someone is enjoying it though.

I blame FFXI (Final Fantasy 11) for ruining a lot of single player games for me and steering me towards looking for similar experiences, haha. The grind to level and then farm gear at end-game was almost masochistic, even with a good group and preparation (pre-ToAU nerf fest) it forced you to become more knowledgeable about your class, group, and enemies. It's definitely a case of rose-colored glasses, because what really made it so memorable was struggling to accomplish goals with other people and facilitating bonds by working through those hardships; that's just not something you really find anymore with how many new games aim to make things ridiculously rewarding and/or overly scripted to the point that accomplishing anything doesn't feel like an accomplishment, but more of an entitlement.

There's a lot of problems with Destiny2 that stem from Bungie's/Activision's decisions; the gameplay is fun, but it's not really enough to keep it going. So I understand how anyone can get tired of it after playing through the story and touching base with what's left to do.

There aren't any plans for a Dark Souls Online (may be with the masochism scaled down? Haha!), is there?

Megaman Battle Network (the original) and Pokemon Ruby

Picked up a USB SNES controller and setup a Retro Pie for the holidays. I love 'old' GBA games.

My wife is making me play VR The Diner Duo with her. It's a silly VR game where one person sits at the PC and takes orders in a hamburger restaurant and the other person wears the Vive and makes the orders... We both suck at remembering the orders so whoever is "cooking" always ends up frustrated that orders are getting jumbled...

I loved ffxi! That was my first "true" mmorpg experience. That was the first and last time that I felt like I was a part of that fantasy world as well as at mercy to it, emphasis on the latter. I really, really enjoyed how you needed a group to do almost anything beyond level 10 at certain points. It really made you feel like your character had grown and became more powerful when you could go back to an area without needing a group. Ever since then most mmos have felt very much like a theme park (as they're design to.) and became extremely linear and routine.

Monster hunter world is coming out!!

[noisyturtle]

Dark Souls Online sounds awful, completely defeats the purpose of a Dark Souls game.

Almost as bad a concept as say, an Elder Scrolls Online game....

[Carcharocles]

Resident Evil 7: Not A Hero

and Bioshock Remastered.

Both are for PC, and both are just too fun to stop playing. Oh, and both run very well on my FX 8300/R9 470 rig, which is good because I won't have the money to upgrade my PC (thanks to how Windows activation works now, it's a better option to get a new motherboard, RAM and processor than build one from scratch) until at least March or April.

Main game Resident Evil 7 has a few spots where my system chokes on max, but considering Medium textures aren't really any worse than the game's maximum textures, it's not a big deal. That flipping yard though...

[Brammm87]

I'm back on the Player Unknown's Battlegrounds bandwagon... The new map is really fun and there's plenty of friends playing at the moment. Love playing the game with other people, never on my own though.

[rioc]

Totally hooked on Escape From Tarkov... forgot I could've played beta since last July so I'm about only 3-4weeks in now, but man it's addictive.


Got Black Desert Online at the steam winter sale, but rarely play it due to EFT addiction.

I certainly wouldn't mind some beard stroking whilst I'm at the PC

Looks like we've been playing the same games recently! +1 for Megaman.

Once I get a flash cart I will be, not a fan of playing them on my PC. Getting a flash cart soon though.

StickyBlueJuice watched an intruding male from the living room door. He deeply disapproved of this inferior specimen. However, this is america, and he must accept that there are individual freedoms which old-world patriarchy can not impede.

Little while later, the male-intruder disappeared leaving only an uninteresting goodbye text.

StickyBlueJuice feigns sympathetic grief, and inserts himself as a comforting presence among the sister and family.

Years after, he discusses the subject on any occasion in order to absolve himself as a suspect in the mysterious disappearance.
