Soon as I saw Walton Goggins on the cast list, I knew it had to be good somewhere. He never disappoints.

Just wanted to chime in as well: Thought I’d watch one episode, watched all eight in the end. It was really good.

I’ve missed this thread for a few weeks already (as in, I didn’t see it). Completed Disco Elysium twice since then, amazing game! Very sad that there’s not going to be a sequel; the world is fascinating, as is the style of gameplay.

I’m a cheapo, so I’ll wait for a sale, but yes, it looks really good. I definitely want to pick it up at some point.

So so so many. Right off the top of my head:

• Guild Wars Season 2, one of the later missions. It was stealth gameplay. I hate stealth. Paid someone 100g to run it for me.
• FTL’s boss.
• Warframe’s Glassmaker season fight with Nihil.
• Currently, Ace Combat 7’s Pipeline Destruction.

I just finished it, twice too, back-to-back. It’s really an amazing game.

I suppose the issue is with the ZA/UM politics (the original creators have been forced out of the company), so some people are suggesting to pirate it instead. That is up to you.

This is a ridiculous award to begin with, since platforms are long-running things and this is just a popularity contest for the past year.

I don’t know, it’s been another year of overpriced GPUs that didn’t advance as much as some past generations have.

Have you tried installing a copy of Windows in Dosbox, then install the game from there? I remember doing something like that to play the original SimTower.

Very likely the game is 16 bit mode, which is why nothing in Windows 10’s compatibility mode is working, as it doesn’t support 16 bit programs.

How bad is the scalping? I’m in Singapore and the price premium is about 10%.

The higher price isn’t permanent.

I’ve worked in camera retail and the local shops do just that, actually, and it’s effective. The FOMO people get their stuff first at a higher price, the shop gets a boost in margins, and everyone else gets to enjoy cheaper prices three months later (and have the early adopters sit through the bugs and first-run issues).

Definitely a good RTS, feels like it peaked with the first Company of Heroes.

Hybrid MMO/ARPG?

Same, Valve needs to get the international distributorship rolling!

Got this game as a gift. No FoV control so I get motion sickness. :(

Yea, but the cost of having FB acquire your data doesn’t feel so… worth it? I’m not completely privacy-focused like many on the fediverse but I do view it as a trade-off, and at US$500 the trade-off no longer feels warranted.

Was thinking about the HP Reverb G2, it’s a little more expensive than the Quest 3, last I checked.

How are you up for jank solutions? How about hanging some colour combination locks on a board or something?

Note, it wasn’t even sold globally. Still waiting for an official launch here in SEA.

Realised it’s not that cheap, US$500? Feels like it’s at a price point where I could spend a couple of hundred more and not get Meta involved. Made more sense when it was US$300.
