    Conan Exiles recently updated with a big annual patch, for those interested. Adds a new dungeon, overhauls a few places (like Sepermeru and The Summoning Place), and adds witch doctor feats that let you summon skeleton warriors and wights, plus you can create undead shalebacks, hyenas, and lizardmen. Also, you can find a horn that summons Frost Giants to fight for you, which seems pretty awesome.

    Yes, I saw that. There is so much new content present and soon to arrive for CONAN that I am sorely tempted to rejoin the game. I may very well do that once I finish my replays of ARKHAM CITY and ARKHAM ORIGINS.

    Its also a free weekend and you might be able to play it by the time you download all the gigs.

    I've been keeping it updated via Steam, so it shouldn't be THAT large of a download.

    Famous last words, I know.

    Turtles can be pretty fast when they want to be. Check out a snapping turtle sometime, it will chase you with a good bit of speed

    They've been around for a long time. Skeletal lizardmen can be found in the Unnamed City and the Arena, for example. Few other places here and there.

    I love free weekends for games, I have successfully found the level of "too complex" in terms of 4X games and the like. Stellaris opened up to the first map and I instantly felt overwhelmed by the sheer amount of . . . stuff to know what it does. I clicked through a few more screens, then exited and uninstalled. I felt like my brain was frying in oil while I tried in vain to digest all the rather complex stuff with a frankly middling tutorial system.

    I'm assuming this means that most Paradox-made games aren't for me.

    Stellaris was great when it came out. Then they patched and overhauled and patched and now it's a Paradox game. Hope you like spreadsheet software with bad UX design.

    @Karoz has given me the opportunity to have a re-do of my high school formal via monster cosplay in Monster Prom! Thanks! The first time was kind of a disaster so hopefully this'll go better :lol:

    I played it for 300 hours and then they made changes that caused it to be incomprehensible to me. I look at the planet ui and literally cannot understand what it is telling me.

    So, the opposite of what you said.

    Or: opinions.

    Is this like the video game equivalent of Rule 34? If it exists, there is a video game of it?

    What's truly disturbing is that I am absolutely sure there is porn out there that involves eating turtles.

    This was more or less my problem. I am primarily a visual person, so the format of, say, Civ V, which tries to strike a balance between spreadsheets and visuals, is more my speed. On the other hand, even though the stories posted about Crusader Kings II sound hilarious, the screenshots that are posted make my brain cry. Which, I mean, if I'd known that Stellaris and CKII are made by the same folks, I wouldn't have even tried it. NBD, though.

    I've been playing mostly stuff on the PS4 recently, because I sprained both my ankles (slipping and falling down stairs feet first, I'm talented like that) and it's easier to put my feet up while playing games on that. So I've been closing in on finishing Shadow of War, which is honestly way longer than it needs to be, and Final Fantasy XV, a game that I feel somewhat convinced you either love or hate it, no in-between, but which I'm having a blast with. At some point I'll come back to Witcher 3 and finish it but I now know my thalassophobia is going to keep me from getting all the treasures in Skellige, so there's that.

    Figured I'd finally start off Deus Ex Mankind Divided on my new machine, god I forgot how much fun playing the 6 million dollar man cat burglar is. Maximum hackermans and the heavy lifting augment basically gets me all of the money.

    If you are interested in playing it, I suggest trying co-op MP with someone from here like @EvmaAlsar

    If you mean Stellaris, I'm good. I just don't feel like going to class to learn how to play most games. I already have to do a 3 day deep dive and consistent guide look-ups when playing a FromSoft game, and that's about the distance I'll go for a game that I enjoy right off the bat.

    I'm perfectly fine with it being "not for me". I'm becoming very happy, honestly, to find which types of games aren't my thing, because it means more time with things I do want to play.

    So, here's the thing,
    According to the late 90s live action TMNT TV show, while we all thought there were only four turtles that were exposed to the mutagenic "ooze" that created the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, in reality there were actually a fifth turtle, who was female. Splinter missed her when he collected the four, and she crawled around in the New York City sewers for a while until she was found by a wizard (who was also a ninja). He took her to China, and taught her how to fight. Later on the ninja wizard and Splinter had a psychic connection and they both found out about the other turtles.

    After a while the wizard ninja dies, and the female turtle goes to New York City to meet the Ninja Turtles. They find out that while they all assumed that they were brothers, none of them were related to each other at all, laying the groundwork for some red hot inter-turtle action. Humanoid mutated turtles fucking is totally fine, but we gotta draw the line at humanoid mutated turtle incest.

    Anyway, the main thing I want you to take from this is not to let your dreams be dreams, your erotic ninja turtles fanfic could technically be canon.

    The only reason I actually know this dumb shit is because I used to babysit a friend's kids who were big TMNT fans, and when they found out that I also liked the Ninja Turtles when I was a kid they showed me the live action TV show and I was confused as hell and read up about it.

    I wish they'd bring the old sidescrolling beat'emups to Steam.
