Pentiment, an awesome point-and-click whodunnit with meaningful choices and beautiful medieval graphics. You only have limited time so you can’t do everything and follow every lead.

Return to Moria, a generic survival/crafting game that was recently free on Epic. I had low expectations of this one, but it is surprisingly solid. But it really sucks that there is no dedicated server support.

I agree. I had a laptop with a clit mouse around 1999/2000 or so. After some practice I could play Quake 2 with that thing. It was awesome!

I play at most 2-3 games at the same time. 1 story game that requires concentration (currently “Pentiment”), one game I play online with friends (currently “Return to Moria”) and one simple game when I don’t want to think too much (currently nothing, I just finished “Vampire Survivors”)

I’m also a dad with a full time job. As for how I pick my games, if I do the same thing too long I get bored and don’t finish the game. And I like finishing games. So I don’t do two horror games back-to-back, or two survival games, or two FPS, etc. I like to switch up. Before “Pentiment” my focus games were “SOMA”, “Astroneer”, “Conarium”, “Green Hell”, “The Talos Principle” and “Prey”. So, quite varied I think.

Yes, Bruno is great! The only downside is that everytime I start it, I have that damn Disney song stuck in my head 😆

Good luck with that! Source: I’m Dutch…

And that’s a problem. Other countries modernize and improve their political systems. The US clings to archaic institutions like the electoral college.

I’m about 50 hours into Astroneer. It’s pretty fun but I don’t see it gripping me for another 50 hours. I’ll probsbly finish the main objectives and then clear something else from my Steam backlog

There us no need. CrowdStrike was such a disaster for Microsoft that they are already on the path to locking down the kernel. Noboby but MS will have kernel access eventually. Give it a few years (and 1-2 Windows versions)

I finished “The Return of the Obra Dinn”, an absolutely great puzzler. I really loved it. Anyone who likes Sherlock Holmes style deductive reasoning should give it a try. And the art style is really unique and beautiful.

I also finished “Conarium”. It was… meh. It’s got the Lovecraft vibe down really well, but it’s not much of a game. More of a walking simulator / visual novel. The few puzzles are very easy. Luckily it’s also very short.

Right now I’m trying to get the hang of “Astroneer” which has been a lot of fun so far (20-ish hours in)

Lots of people commenting about the laptop here, so let me offer something different. What’s that one game you downloaded? Because if it is Ark: Survival Evolved (or Ascended) then still having 80G left is pretty good!

Thanks for the tip! Wishlisted!

I just finished “The Return of the Obra Dinn”. A great indy game if you’re into detectives or deductive reasoning.

I do love the carnage, though… When my level 5 or 6 fighter guy swung a regular white text sword for a regular non skill attack and it took out like 5 zombies at once, that was really nice. Never did that in Diablo.

If you think that is carnage, you should see what the end game has in store. You’ll be blasting through hordes and hordes of enemies. You can clear entire maps in a few minutes. It’s a blast!

With that list of games, you may like Green Hell.

Yes! Don’t read anything about it. Go in blind.

Curious as to why this happens. My bet is on Ubisoft tampering in windows kernel space. Probably some copy protection or anti-cheat BS

I don’t think any Lemmy or Mbin instance has more that 45 million monthly active and users. So it doesn’t matter.

What are you using? I saw nothing ( Firefox Android + uBlock on a network with a pi-hole)
