I am maybe 90 minutes into A Plague Tale, just past the first boss fight (holy shit) and all I can say is this game is absolutely bonkers amazing. 10/10 so far. Stupidly gorgeous, compelling story, brilliant voice acting, great stealth action, and just lots of fun. The attention to detail that was put into making this 14th century manor house and village real is mind-boggling... I'm fucking impressed.
I got home from work, turned on my computer, and learned that shenanigans had been afoot while I was away. For some reason. Can't imagine why.
Thank you @Destroyah87 for Fell Seal! Corrigan's been gushing over this but I hadn't really looked at it until someone informed me that it takes after Final Fantasy Tactics, original and Advance. And, well, I lost many hours to that time destroyer on the GBA. Plus the story seems interesting!
And thank you @shdwcaster for Fate Extella! Lord knows I've fallen deep into the Fate hole ever since starting up the mobile game Grand Order, so I'm looking forward to indulging my addiction even further!
Completed Shadow Warrior 2, it's like a ARPG FPS game but with mods dropping more than weapons. Still lots of options and on the standard difficulty you can hack, slash, shoot, explode, chi-blast your way through foes on your journey to save the world from the clashing of the human and demon realms.
Once again Lo Wang is a big draw to the game as his crass comments paint this lively world with his own playful BS.
Story wise I'd put it below the previous game but the chi skills and vast amounts of weapons are easier to manage though modding can get a bit tedious.
The last time someone had that level of praise, it was for Hellblade and was completely warranted.
This is better than Hellblade.
There, I said it.
*Low whistle* That's quite the claim! I usually give these things a few months to shake out and settle into their final form but this is putting it squarely at the top of the wishlist
On a completely unrelated note, trawling through the anemic PC games section at EB Games today has paid off! Evil Within 2 and Trackmania Turbo for $13 all-up, both smashing their isthereanydeal.com records
Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday today. It was a fairly uneventful day since I didn't tell anyone at my new work and I'm not one for parties. Had a dinner of Panda Express with my father, talked a bit with my mother over video phone, and even got a text from a friend from long ago who shares the exact same birthday and year with me that I'd lost contact with over a decade ago. I think that was the nicest part of the day.
So I guess I'm 30 now going by biological age. Well fuck.

Wow, do three of you have the same birthday? Dang.
30 is the start of the age where you can't get by with youth to maintain rudimentary good health (if you were fortunate enough to have it in the first place). Also, hangovers reveal their final form.
I know there are games where you buy and sell stuff and run a shop. But is there any game where you play a traveling merchant? And then preferably with a barter/trading system instead of gold and also crafting and adventuring with the useful stuff you get and having to trade the vender trash to get the best possible deal.
It's only slightly part of these but Atelier Sophie is really fun. You're an alchemist who goes out with adventurers to get materials and keep them healthy while they beat stuff up. Then you come back and make potions and clothes to make them stronger and/or sell for a lot of dosh.
Maybe the other Atelier games are like this too I have no idea i've never played them. Only this one. And it's great.
You should play the others.
Maybe once I finish Sophie.
Do they have reasonably dressed protagonist ladies and buddies that you go adventures on and then a cauldron you brew dresses in once you come home?
They're not all reasonably dressed, but basically yes.

I don't remember thirty.
I only remember 30 because it was the only day in my whole life that I drank alcohol. Never drank anything up to that point and everyone was on my case to drink. I said that I would have two drinks that night, which ended up being a Lemon Drop and a Kamikaze.
Was sober for 30 years before and been sober now for 13 years after that night. :biggrin:

20 was the birthday when I sat down and thought for a long, long time about women, my future, women, what will I do once I graduate ?, and women.
30 I did not, because by then I assumed that I had seen everything that the world could throw at me. I couldn't possibly have been more wrong about that-- this was four years before September 11, for one thing-- but that's 30 for you.
@McMoogle sent me Subterra! And bad haiku! @SkutSkut sent me Valnir Rock! Viking survival! @Karoz sent... Wet Girl! (lewd!) @JaysonFour sent Magicat! Cats!
Geez. Half of Kathy Rain's resolution options don't work for me, and the ones that do look like stretched out garbage.
Huh, that's an odd problem to have. What're you attempting to run? I can see if I can replicate the problem
All of the resolutions. I tried all of them. Over 5x it gives an error saying my hardware isn't supported, under that it's either so small that the mouse sensitivity is unusable or it's stretched out to full widescreen which is bad for a 4:3 game. Even windowed mode, it's a widescreen window stretched out.
Hm. I just found out that there's going to be a sequel to Subnautica from an email from bandcamp telling me that Ben Prunty is doing the soundtrack for it.

At the stroke of midnight @destroyah87 strikes. I should not be surprised in the least.
Thanks for Outward! This looks so good!
So I guess I'm 30 now going by biological age. Well fuck.
Happy birthday, everyone!

Asobo. French devs. Seem to have mostly been responsible for a bunch of Disney/Pixar stuff (WALL-E, Up, Toy Story 3, etc).
