I'm not enjoying Budget Cuts nearly as much as I was hoping I would :(. It just feels kinda lifeless and thin and is really frustrating in spots, I think the demo is more fun that the actual game if I'm being honest. It was my most anticipated VR game and I'm left disappointed.

Mod edit: removed a picture of a game on Resetera's ban list

A rather short but fullfilling experience.
As entrepeneur of an erotic start-up it is your job to expand your company, satisfy the desires of a diverse field of customers and earn capitalist valuepapers.
You do so by managing the time, health and addictions of your employees in the style of a "clicker" game, these mechanical depictions of an employees hard work are served on an asthetic inspired by classical japanese drawings displayed in beautiful contrast to the Lars von Trier inspired contents found within.
It finds itself as a criticism both, our modern capitalist values - Entfremdung as taken straight out of Karl Marx's theory of alienation - and the commercialization of our human desires.
I'm very thankful for having had the chance to play this bold statement of a game, it gave me a new and deep appreciation for Lana Rain's webcam artistry and her unique struggles.

I probably shouldn't have bought Slay the Spire from Chrono. It consumed my whole weekend. I beat the game with all three characters. Hopefully I can use that fact to convince my brain I finished the game. Now, I need to back away slowly and carefully, then find one of those memory zappers the Men in Black use. Then I'll be free again. It's for the best.

You'll use the memory zapper, forget you played the game, get consumed by it again, use the memory zapper, forget you played the game, get consumed by it again, etc.

It's been nice knowing ya, fuzzylogic.

Random ass question but what chairs do y'all have in your PC gaming setup? Need something new & comfy!

I got a DXRacer and honestly it's just okay. Like, I think I could have done way better for $400 but I'm not sure. Never really looked around so just got what was popular at the time lol.

It is pretty neat for naps though, just like recline it all the way back, put your feet up and zonk out for 20 minutes lol.
============

My day was poop. Fighting my router and ISP for speeds that mysteriously were cut in half last night after a brief power outage.

Fixed now thankfully. Still, unfortunate way to spend a day. >_<

The Bums can be pretty hilarious at times.

Sounds plausible to me.

I did eventually find out how to disable the F12 - Light function through an .ini file. Re-binding it in-game wouldn't disable the F12 function.

On another note, how is everyone's experience with the (voice) sound quality from the chat update?

i just played around two hours of the octopath traveler demo and it's a shame this game is a switch exclusive, i think this might be one of the coolest jrpgs in a while and i think modding could help a lot with some things that bug me already that i could see modders take care in like 2 days. mostly toning down the diorama macro effects a bit cos it's a bit much imo. that specially is my main complaint with the game, and since it's an unreal engine game i totally see that being really easy to change

i really like the game tho, combat's got a bit of megaten flavor and i really like the stories i played so far

oh well, i'll play it on the switch

RIP Hektor. :(
Thanks for the funny write-up.

I started playing Diablo 3 again. No idea why I do this to myself. I have some weird obligation to complete every new season...

Some might say it would be pertinent to have some kind of auto censor of banned game names as like a "hey heads up, know what you are walking into here".
It seems absolutely ridiculous that anyone should know the twitch banned games list by heart.

Finished Vampyr last night, and for a studio's first effort at an RPG I found it very solid.

The last hour or so was a bit of a misstep sadly imo, I found the last boss rather difficult as it scales to your level and I was at max level then :/
And the plot just splurges exposition at the end with little context so the conclusion was rather unsatisfactory and confusing.

All the same, I really enjoyed it and as I said in a prior post, I appreciated the way your character upgrades where handled rather cleverly in the theme of the world.

I'd like see the ban list if there is any, because I have no idea what games are banned. But I suspect it's mostly porn games...

Should have read the FAQ more carefully >.<

edit: Wait? Even listing them will get you banned?

Welp. I really hope Hektor's ban isn't permanent? Seemed like a parody post to me.

Logic tells me yeah it's a banned game, but my emotions are like c'mon...

It's alright, he was only advocating it ironically so he's only ironically banned.

Mmmmm... Not to backseat Mod, but I do hope that there's an examination of how much value Hektor brings to discussions vs this one slip-up. :/

We do write in an American board, after all. A certain amount of anal prudishness is to be expected.
Even Valve's first instinct was to ban this stuff, before realizing that they're Valve and they don't need to care.

I get that Twitch isnt allowing those specific games to be streamed, but I dont think twitch bans you for discussing them, so I see absolutely no reason why they should be banned here or I really need some good reasoning for this from a mod, because I dont get it. Fair enough, no pictures and videos that are very explicit/pornographic allowed but a fair/funny post brings no harm unless ofc Hektor posted a more explicit picture.

What a joke. Didn't forum got lit after Valve sent email that those games will be removed and Valve got bashed for days. Now when those games are banned on this forum everything is fine for some reason.

It's weird, but also makes sense - it was gaming news, so I guess an allowance was made to talk about the games in the context of Valve's actions. Now the games are fine, and there's no news to talk about, so the ban is back in place.

I am talking about how people are fine with Era banning some of those games but they go mad when Valve says they will remove them.

I wish Steam would allow having direct links on resized screenshots like some of you guys doing with those fancy flickr previews, I kinda want to post here my screens from Vampyr and other games but they're all in huge-ass 4K and take too much space in posts, so I don't feel comfortable posting them here. And I just noticed Hektor ban. What the hell, if we have a list of banned games here then they should be automatically censored, and it should be a warning after the first post, not a ban with an unknown duration, this is too harsh.
Episode one of Quantum Break done.
Game would have been so much better without the whole TV, TV, TV stuff.
Shooty-bang is okay, level design atrocious, graphics wise it's uneven - extremely blurry, some of the effects are laughable, some jaw dropping.
Not looking forward to further Northlight games, unless Remedy optimizes the engine for current hardware - I'm getting ~60-90 fps with upscaling on, 30-50 with off. Both look almost as much blurry.
Yeah, I've started playing this game month ago and spent my first hours tweaking graphical settings and config files, trying to remove this goddamn blurriness all over the place and get stable 4K/60 FPS result. Results are not perfect, removing all blur effects is simply impossible, it's how this engine works, but still looks much better and cleaner than on standard settings:

Ohhh, I get what you mean now. Eh, I don't think they're unreasonable or hypocritical or anything - discussion of products is different to a retailer selling (or not selling) products.

PLEASE STOP POSTING PICTURES FROM THIS GAME

I don't need to play it again and again until my eyes bleed out. Please don't make me.

So the dev and pub homepages are supposed to go into public beta today. I wonder how many devs will actually end up making a page.
If nothing else, I hope that the pages will incentivize devs to unify their names in the storepages or something. Yesterday I was trying to look up all the LEGO games and they are divided under at least 3 different names, TT Games, TT Games Ltd and Traveller's Tales.

It's stupid.

And what if they'll finally decide to change their company name to LEGO Videogames Factory Ltd. or something, they haven't made anything except LEGO games in past 10 years and their last original IP was released in 2002.

Oh right, that's today. Very much looking forward to it.
And yeah, the multiple dev/pub names is super stupid. It's like you need to check out 3 different games to get 4 different names to find all games..

And yeah, that ban is stupid.

I know, but I have Steam activity feed for that kind of posts. I want to post my screens with additional thoughts about those games, just like neoraider, dex and others are doing here, not simply drop few screens and move on. I'm complaining about lack of built-in options to resize images for better visibility, both by Steam and this forum (I've tried BB codes but they doesn't seem to work). If I want to post them in, for example, in 660x370 resolution like Steam showing them in the activity feed by default, then I need to manually resize those screenshots and upload them somewhere else, which is very inconvenient.
