Recently found a game on steam that I would like to recommend to everyone, especially to my fellow !edgelords and !doomers

It's called psychopomp and it's free: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2771670/Psychopomp/

Since the game is free and should only take around 45 minutes for a 100% play-through where you can find everything I won't spoil any of the story or game play. Here's some screenshots I took while playing to hopefully get you more interested though:

Minecraft unironically, and no I'm not a zoomer but one of our fellow dramatards @TriHard made a server that is actually quite nice. You don't even need a microsoft account!

I played a game on normal.

Almost done (at the mines) with Act 4 of WoTR. I know it's polarizing but I'll miss Alushinyrra Yeah navigation could be aggravating but it was really cool

decided i'd check out factorio

what have i done?

Just beat Spyro 2.

Wasn't as good as the first but some bits were almost as good. Too many dud minigames. Too much mandatory backtracking.

Still need to beat the final boss of Pikmin 1 (It's where the inability to select type without dismissing them all really comes to a head. Thank heavens this was fixed in the ports and sequels.)

New FO4 character -- Jet-head.

He either doesn't care or remember that his wife is dead and that his son has been kidnapped. He just wants Jet.

I've played as a druggie with full immunity to addiction. In this run I am embracing the addiction. No curing or preventing addiction whatsoever. As addictions mount, I suffered the stat penalties.

Admittedly my last playthrough I manipulated duplicating items so I could use infinite resources to levelmax.

Not this time.

I definitely am watermaxxing as an economy. I only travel with the dog, no tricks to overload a human companion.

All my sites produce crops to spamcook vegetable starch.

I let him hack novice but he will never learn more than that until it's the only option. As a druggie, he's already a Master lockpick.

He's fat as frick and looks like a neurodivergent in his mining helmet and military fatigues.

Yes his dead wife has two black eyes from domestic abuse, and yes he has a bruised lip from her defending herself.

Just finished Jedi Survivor, it's a fairly decent game. Plot for the most part was good, but the ending was true predicable shit.

My main complaint is that there are effectively only two fleshed out planets and they hope you like sand. It feels a bit lazy.

Saw a dunkey video on the new Dragonball fighting game, it looked bonkers in a mostly good way, remembered I bought one (Xenoverse) on sale a while ago and played it.

What is this? I get the fighting fine, but everything else about it -- the story, the dead "open world," the conversations -- everything but the fighting seems like pure r-slurery. Just let me be some moon faced, 7 foot, 400lb. fat guy and punch the shit out of a 900 year old lizard grandpa thing. Why do I have to walk all over the place and go up to empty buildings and talk to all manner of rejects just to start another fight? Anime and it's consequences.

X4, it's actually really good.

Still bad at ff6. Losing to ultima weapon. Might have to overlevel myself lol.

Update: overleved terra, mog, and celes to around 35-38 and it was easy peasy

This week, I played Factorio. Despite having ~500 hours in the game, I've never beaten it, so I'm working towards that.

Mechwarrior 5: Clans. It's the first game I've purchased day of release in years, and to my not great surprise, it's a little underdone still.

Even so, I'm really enjoying the story. Having your starmates as actual characters with personalities and in mission chatter is pretty cool and giving me some of the old Wing Commander 3 feels.

Shiny Meloetta bros, report in

Just got Sins of Solar Empire 2. I think it's been literally a decade since I played the first game, but I felt right at home. It runs pretty well on a 780m iGPU which was surprising.

Basically the same game as before but with some quality of life improvements. Although I am disappointed about the diplomacy aspect has been downgraded. Hopefully they did this cause they're reworking the diplomacy mechanics.

There was a bit of drama about the game having a premium edition that includes a campaign mode which is currently not out yet. I don't think it's a big deal cause the original SoSE never had a campaign to begin with. Although looking back on it the game could've definitely used one.

Playing through Inscryption now. I am at the part of the game where the robot takes over and it returns to 3D. Already have beaten 3 bosses and currently on my way to defeat the fourth. Liked the first stage of the game, the paper, woodcarvings and the schizo dm created a nice atmosphere and the deck building was fun. The second part simulating an 8-bit game was alright, although a massive downgrade from the beginning, which is probably why the promotional materials and cover art feature only the first section of the game. Put your strongest foot first and all that. The robot section is fine, the return to 3D and having a game master again is appreciated, but the deck building isn't as fun (probably on purpose). Cool game so far, although the background story of a content creator discovering the game and being followed by the dev company does take you out a bit and delivering it with 3 minute clips is a tad too "analog horror-y" for my taste.

I've been obsessed with Soviet Republic: Workers and Resources, because the game respects its own rules.

It's basically a city builder with industry and goods, and in realistic mode, there's no shortcuts. You don't get to quickbuild roads or quickbuy-teleport resources into your warehouse; if you want to build an asphalt road, you need various trucks and busses to transport gravel, asphalt, workers to the site, you need excavators, pavers, rollers, and all these machines need to be fueled and maintained, and all of these resources need to be physically imported or produced and stored somewhere. You want to redesign your district heating? Better start the works in spring, because every section of pipe, every substation, every heating plant needs resources, construction machines and workers delivered and your citizens won't survive the interruption in service if you do it when it's -15 degrees outside.

It's slav jank all the way and you'll run into stupid bottlenecks and die but I love it because it respects itself and brings its concept to logical conclusion.

Skald: Against the Black Priory is fricking SICK

They even have a husbando for the bussy boys.

TripleA Axis and Allies. Can finally win consistently as the Allies

I spend my weekend away frome home and out of boredom looked for mobile games, even if I were just to play them for 5 minutes to see how bad the monetization is.

I download Vampire Survivors since I heard good things about it (but the PC version), and it was really fun despite crashing in pause menu a few times.

Armored core 6, People overrated Balteus, got him on the first try. The cleaner boss right after was the worst

Amazing game though

Just got VR for the first time so I've been trying out a couple different games. Downloaded modlists for Fallout and Skyrim, and played a bit of Into the Radius but that shit scary AF. Outside of VR I've been playing Inscryption because it's on game pass, but everything past chapter 1 is kinda butt.

Also, Thrill of the Fight in VR. Hasn't been a good fighting game in years, but boxing in VR is fun as frick.

Winter is beginning to threaten its presence so I played an obscene amount of video games and will likely continue to until there's enough snow to facilitate winter activities.

I played a bunch of phasmophobia and devour with my friends. I'm a chicken shit so both were really scary, but phasmo is definitely the better of the 2 games.

I played a bunch of shmups, most notably touhou 18 and Steel Vampire. its been a long time since ive really gone in on a shmup so im really bad at them currently but the prospect of getting good at them again is really appealing so ill keep grinding it out.

Played a bit of the Calamity mod for Terraria which is really good, but theres just too much shit to collect so your constantly fricking with your inventory. Ill probably look for a mod to help with that.

Finally, i played a bunch of SaGa: Scarlet Grace, which is a really scuffed and janky game but the battle system carries it a long ways. ill probably try to finish Leonard's story by thursday, when Revenge of the Seven comes out and monopolozes my next month or so.

I thought this thread was going to be about Marc Eckō's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure

Just started a ffxiv free trial, what am i in for fellas?

Starship Troopers: Extermination

Finished Space Marine 1. The final battle was a bit of a wet fart, just a few waves of tough enemies and a QTE segment, but everything up to that point was good. I look forward to getting the sequel in 5 years when it dips under $15.

Started Mega Man 11. It's Mega Man. What more can you say about it?

Away from my main pc so just some shiny hunting while watching Youtube, got a shiny swampert earlier though :)

I was feeling nostalgic for Alpha Centauri, so I installed civ: beyond earth and gave it another try. Truely a shit game.

I need to find a clone of Alpha Centauri with a better UI.
