@kazumakiryu21: Will do :) As for Biomutant, it's coming to EA Origin Pro so I'll be playing that game for less and not pay full price. I'm more shocked it's not even coming to Game Pass at all! MS would be please to have it on their.

Yeah let's move on. I fired up Pharaoh the other day after teaching my last class. Sat out on the porch and got my fig harvesting on.

Those games are still so great

Pharaoh is so fantastic. Despite there being several Impressions City builders both before and after, Pharaoh has always been my favourite. Possibly, starting from pre-history all the way up to huge cities and monuments makes it feel more "epic" than the Caesar/etc games.

Never get sick of the graphics, soundtrack, trader barks ("I'll be a heeeeerrrrooo when I bring these goods back to my homeland!") and just the peaceful bustle of a well planned city :)

Welp, Warframe Devstream time, so probably not gonna be posting for the next hour.

Which got me thinking, does anyone else here also watch devstreams for their favourite games, or am I a bit of a weirdo?

thats the advantage of PC but these corporate greed. those assholes NVIDIA and AMD making gaming wayy too difficult for middle class person with family.

Covid. Manufacturing is limited, and materials needed are in short-supply. It's the same with a lot of electronics and cars ATM... Plus Hell-bound scalpers.

I don't like the situation one bit. Miners and scalpers can fuk right off. There are gamers that need hardware and these cunts are fucking it all up. Worst.

I am all set in terms of hardware, but I feel for my fellow gamers.

I don't mind the miners as they are actually using GPU's and not reselling them. The problem is the silicon shortage is the root of the issue to producing GPU, both Nvidia & AMD should have seen this coming before releasing their new GPU. Of course, the RTX 3080Ti/3070Ti are gonna be releasing soon and I don't know why Nvidia is trying to releasing this new GPU fully knowing they'll be limited supplies. Miners are fine, just lack of availability.

The miners are scooping up a lot of cards that would otherwise be in gamers' hands. So, that directly affects the availability of cards for gamers. They also use bots and backdoor deals to buy up cards. I have no love for miners or cryptocurrency in general. It is unnecessary, bad for the environment, and fucks over gamers.

@ghosts4ever: Nobody pretty good, surprised you disappointed by it my freind. Very John Wicky, but fights don't drag on until you're bored and Breaking Bad man is actual character.

Only problem bus fight so dope, it makes everything else seem muted. That and his buddy and Back To The Future man are barely on screen enough to give a shit to have any real comradery, 1 man fight prob better climax.

Damn. Returnal looks awesome. Am I really about to drop $70 on a game? I never do that shit. Usually I'll wait like a month and meet some sketchy dude over fb marketplace and buy games for like half the price.

Edit: yea I have to support this studio. Buying it now.

Its action is waay too slow plus the old man (forget his name) is nowhear near as badass as john wick. He is Sam fisher son in law though.

beside cup, I recently watched La la land because someone recommend me. and the whole movie is just crap. after 10 minutes songs and dance appear out of nowhere but make sense since main character is pianist. but still starting is nonsense and nobody sing a song in traffic jam.

I also thought about it , or naming the lounge " Returnal Meltdown" but decided against those as it sounds as being mean lol. Then i thought about Covid vaccination , but also decided against it as many still not taken the vaccine. Then i thought May 2012 brings us awesome games as RE VIII , Mass Effect Legendary edition and many more , went with that idea lol.

Yeah, probably for the best. These threads tend to last several months, and this is probably something we should just move on and forget about.

I remember when these threads used to get 900+ posts in 3 weeks. Those days are gone.

I should have listen to @madrocketeer, Splice was WTF movie I have ever seen. 3/10 is the best I can give it. Felt way too unfocused and couldn't really connect with any of the characters. Top it all off, the sex sense were really force, having sex with the female creature was a bit too much. At least it was on Netflix. Species on the other hand was really well done, so points for that.

@wandering_halls: Not yet. It's installed and ready to go. Done a couple of historical battles on Rome and deciding wither to do a campaign, as it basically engulfs your life. Might be better to do a solo run of The Forest first, says it's roughly 9-15 hours.

@uninspiredcup: Yeah I started a solo run. My first attempt I couldn't figure out the controls quick enough, got beaten to death by a dirty naked lady. Started up a new save game, killed the naked lady, and a couple naked dudes. Managed to build a hut. The VR implementation is pretty good, but sometimes it takes you into third person when doing basic sh_t, like climbing ladders, so that sucks. But the world is super immersive, awesome to explore. Getting some serious Cannibal Holocaust vibes. The game is crazy intensive on your system, though. I have pretty much everything set to high/ultra, and it gets the fans running like jet engines.

@wandering_halls: The cave stuff looks dope. The way the AI reacts to the player as well, unpredictable rather than just attacking for the sake of it. In one of the vids they start worshiping the player as a god because of fire-bombs.

Yeah, had to have someone tell me the ending instead. Couldn't go on.

Every now and then, a movie or a game comes along that has this funny thing; where you can pinpoint the exact moment an invisible lever gets pulled, the bottom drops out, and it's the moment you instantly knew when to pack it in and leave. That sex scene was one of those.

The sex scene in that movie was AWFUL. The movie could have been good, and then it just went to hell all at once. So wrong on so many levels to bring sex into that situation.

@jasonofa36: So they making the same games they did before but just with a different title. 😐 At least the character in the last sequences looked like Seimei from Otogi 2. If they are going that route, I would be more excited.
