I've joined every other Steam user in playing Dave the Diver. Lovely.

[–] fluke 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

From what I've seen of this it looks like a fantastic game with some awesome mechanics.

[–] Finnbot 2 points 11 months ago

I can’t get enough of it.

It’s fun, mechanics are great, despite the fact they show me up for how shite my aim is! Boss fight are also decent so far.

If you've got a new computer (at least an Intel 386, with a Sound Blaster compatible card, and a fully-up-to-date DOS), you could do no worse than check out this year's new releases at DosHaven .

Maybe make sure no-one wants to use the phone for a bit before you download though.

Sound Blaster. That's a name I've not heard in a long time

The Wandering Village was added to gamepass last week and it is very good. Who doesn't want to build a settlement on the back of a giant wandering creature that you have to look after while you try and survive! Once you get the hang of it it is quite easy though.

MXGP 2021, it was cheap and I bought it on a whim but I'm enjoying it a lot. I know almost nothing about the sport but the game is challenging in a fun way so far.

Squad still gets played most evenings for a few hours. Think of the Battlefield games before they went to shit and that is what Squad is.

I enjoyed The Wandering Village, but the micromanagement to stop the poison got on my nerves. Should get back to it really.

[–] B0NK3RS 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah the first couple times with the poison was a pain with all the micro but once you get to the giogas and decontaminater it's much better to deal with.

Just waiting for the Tarkov wipe. It's expected in the next couple of weeks hopefully.

In the meantime I've been playing Battlebit, and loving it. Decided to find out what Dawn of War franchise is all about and suddenly many memes make sense.

But by far the most time is spent back on Workers and Resources. One of those games that I call a time machine. One minute you load it up, and the next it's 5 hours later and you can't figure out where the time went.

Wipe is confirmed for August according to Nikita on Tarkov TV last week. Could very well drop before then, knowing BSG though.

[–] fluke 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

'A couple of weeks' would be August 😉

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Jesus, it's that late in the month already?

@lh @B0NK3RS @fluke
Here in the western U.S. May and June were very wet, now it's hot.
This summer is slipping past pretty quick.
I'm not getting much outside work done.

[–] Codandchips 2 points 11 months ago

Last day of work for me! Off to Crete for two weeks! ( If it hasn't burnt down 😔)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Been playing Techtonica on the Game Pass - it's been a while since I've dreamed about a game, but I kept making factory plans the other night. And - stupidly - I reinstalled Eve Online. Hooray for station trading.

Trying to get to grips with how to use Wordpress. I was told it would be dead easy by a friend (I used blogger before) but it's a little bit overwhelming!

Still seem to have got somewhere with it at least by now...

[–] KennyBell 2 points 11 months ago

Been playing Link's Awakening on the Steam Deck. Halfway there, and SM64R96 is probably next.

Trying to bid and win a Wii U off eBay. This might be the hardest step in setting up a Wii U emulation console.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Finished Viewpoint the other day. I'd say 3-4 hours total, which is perfect for where I am right now.

And last night I made some headway with Bloodborne, a game that genuinely makes me anxious like no other media property ever has.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Been playing Remnant 2, enjoying it but it's brutal playing solo!

Still chipping away at Tears of the Kingdom, it's an amazing world to lose yourself in.

Also playing the odd game of Vampire Survivors here and there, so damn addictive!
