I played RoR1 a couple years after release, RoR2 on release, and RoRR on release. I still like 1/Returns better than 2, but I like 2 as well. They are honestly pretty similar in gameplay, but I think the 2d style leaves a lot more room for boss moveset creativity.

It’s getting really fucking annoying to look at steam reviews and discussions and running across several “is it woke?” posts.

Often times, it will be “one black NPC in a historically white environment, one female in a combat position, it’s been ruined by wokeness.”

Or often “two non-essential NPCs are in a gay relationship, stay away” when they could be entirely avoided by accident.

It’s disappointing.

I’ve been really into Meridian 59 lately, but haven’t been playing in the past couple of weeks. Thanks for the reminder.

Running some random process introduced with Windows 11 that adds literally nothing to the users experience other than heat and fan noise

You forgot to mention how important and helpful the telemetry will be! /s

That Dragon, Cancer turned me into a blubbering sobbing mess.

There’s are so many spots in the game that could hit someone the hardest, and I know what mine was.

Not an RPG but is open world: Hyper Light Drifter

I’ve run it on a potato laptop before, so it should run fine.

You can always use the GOG Galaxy launcher!

which I never use

Yeah, definitely can’t rely on it for too long. Double granite walls can hold off basic enemies for a ridiculous amount of time, though.

This is advice I’ve given to new Rimworld players, and I hope it was helpful. The game (on most difficulties) is itching to give you the next “scenario.”

Building your wealth in valuable equipment is not very good at the start of the game, because your town’s silver value will go up much faster than its defensive/offensive capabilities. You end up putting a target on your back for raids.

Better to build a surrounding wall and set up trap corridors than to worry about getting everyone a gun.

Would you say the amount you received in thanks is roughly worth the amount of work you did by marketing and relaying feedback? I’m just curious.

+1 for What Remains of Edith Finch.

I was able to convince a cinematography friend that video games are art with that game. He was more the type to just play Skate 3, Halo, and CoD.

Thank you for this cursed knowledge.

I would gladly demolish this bowl. Might stick it in the air fryer to melt the cheese first, though.

Had some over-medium eggs, white rice, fried spam, and seaweed. Nice n hearty.

Bastion has a slew of great soundtracks and environments, and I found the story very impactful. Highly recommend trying the game if you can!

What input did you play on? The camera was fine for me on mouse and keyboard, which is funny because From games are usually pretty bad on m&k. Terrain navigation was at its worst when invisible walls were plentiful, but overall, I didn’t struggle with navigation. Also, as someone who is mildly familiar with JTTW, the story was a bit confusing but followable.

Redout 1 and 2 are great fun if I’m in the mood for lap times, but I hate racing against the NPCs.

Ctrl+Win+V doesn’t do anything for me. The best part about Eartrumpet for me is that you can manage all audio outputs on your system individually. Since I use a virtual mixer, this makes it easy to adjust everything without being to open the mixer, as well as making sure each program is outputting audio to the right place.

+1 for EarTrumpet

It’s probably the most useful program I have on my Win10 machine.
