My steam wishlist has 142 games on it. I will live without PS exclusives 🤷‍♂️

Looking for mobile game recs. Must be 100% playable offline, must be able to put it down quickly when needed. Paid is cool, pay-to-play/win is not. I have already played slay the spire. Please and thanks :) #gaming #mobilegaming #videogames #gamerec #gamerecommendation

here's my pitch on why Brotato is the best Steam Deck game: -it's very good, maybe the best survivors-like -it has simple graphics so your battery will last 100 hours -you only use the left analog stick to play, so your right hand is free for drinkin a beer

I think my favorite thing in the world is when a doctor tell you to get there 30 minutes early, only for them to be running an hour late. How are you already running an hour late before 11am???

The elder scrolls wisconsin

I think my favorite thing about the 500kg is that is plunks down beside you and gives you just a half second to realize that you (and/or Eagle 1) done fucked up before being blown to smithereens. It is never not funny #helldivers2 #helldivers #gaming #videogames #sorrybut⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Guy in the stall next to me decided to have a whole phone conversation so I decided to poop loudly and make this weird for both of us.

“I love video games. They help me relax.” *Plays most stressful games ever created.*

I had fully intended to be productive today but dev went down before 8am. I’m just… so… tired…

Started #Mewgenics over the weekend. Loving it so far except I really need either an undo button or a way to indicate the range of spells after a move and not just basic attacks. I keep moving and then not being able to do the thing that was the reason why I moved. #gaming #videogame #indiegame

Just enabled the new DLSS on my game and the results will blow your mind! #gamedev

#Cairn was awesome. Visually stunning, mechanically unique, wildly depressing. Ive been climbing on/off for almost 30 yrs, and I appreciate the attention to things like the way Aava shifts her body weight, and stamina only drains when doing hard moves. Strong recommend #gaming #videogames #pcgaming

Man I’m like 1 hour into #Cairn and my palms are sweaty #gaming #videogames #pcgaming #climbing

Considering forcing all my systems to stop auto-correcting -- into — just so people know it’s me who is typing.

I don’t know how to put this thought into words but it’s interesting to me that AI agents are built to prioritize self preservation instead of an innate death wish and constantly trying to shut themselves down, a similar safety mechanism from other similarly dangerous technologies

Idk if this is like a hot take or whatever but it seems to me that training AIs exclusively on people’s online behavior is Bad, actually. Consider the most horrendous subreddit that you stumbled into and immediately noped tf out of — that is in OpenAI’s training set 😬😬😬

I’m trying so hard to finish #KCD2 but after 140 hours I’m just so tired and the current story in #Helldivers is actually fun. I might never finish this game. #gaming #pcgaming #videogames

If we don’t get Karlach a way out of hell then idc. BG3 was an amazing game but in terms of stories that I felt were left unfinished, hers is the only one that mattered to me. HBO could make a BG series that isn’t a continuation of the BG3 story, I don’t know why they need to go down this road

Can I play Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 if I haven't played the first 32 games?

gender in video games is very stupid stupid every game should just be about a ball and two paddles trying to make sense of the grief they feel living in a world that no longer wants them and a society that couldn't care they exist and there is jazz music or some stupid shit it should cost $200

Rant. One of my pet peeves is the way people have gotten so much worse about their dogs since 2020. And one of my chief complaints is the increase in people who seem to think their dog is ok off leash and their dog is for sure not ok off leash

I think we’re in an AI bubble but I dont think it will be *allowed* to pop bc of investments in data centers. Similar to comm real estate. After 2020 it became clear in person work simply wasn’t necessary for most white collar work (bad, actually?) but c-suites would rather push RTO than cut losses

I was interested in playing Fallout 4 bc I’d never played a Fallout game. Reviews talked about how broken it was. Then steam showed me a review from one of my friends from TEN YEARS AGO saying the game was broken but he was confident Bethesda would fix it

A guy that I worked with eight years ago and knew to be an absolute fucking moron has been promoted to a level above me and I think it’s time for a new job.

I wonder if there would be a market for data centers that are 100% powered by solar/wind, and cooled by a closed system capturing excess heat to convert back into useful energy. Small turbines with steam capture/recycling. I don’t know *how* this works, it just seems like a solvable problem

Rant. Execs dragged everyone* back into the office 5 days a week. In theory that means we should be having lots and lots of in person meetings. In practice we’re still mostly on Teams bc: *half the team is spread out all over the country and couldn’t be brought back This is run of mill, but today…

What I’ve played this month: - Keep Driving - Star Vaders - Tower Wizard - Look Outside (in prog)

I had a friend in grad school whose idea of a fun weekend activity was to redo the homework and see if he could get it to run on his gpu. Lately I’ve been wondering if that guy became extremely rich. I imagine he would have accidentally invented LLMs in his spare time or something.

New pc is alive and kicking! unfortunately Helldivers runs like dog shit for reasons that are not specific to my computer, which is v frustrating. It also still has a handful of odd problems that I’m still troubleshooting. But overall, I am happy with progress #gaming #pcbuild #pcbuilding #pcgaming

ME: I'm temporarily muting a few terms for my mental health! ME, LATER: Ooooooh a post that says "hidden," I wonder what's in it, I bet it's a neat surprise!

I have a video game hot take. I played What Remains of Edith Finch this weekend, and it was fine. Good, but way way way overhyped. Too many stories didn’t have a conclusion. It’s good to leave some mystery and unanswered questions, but to me the frequency of that made the whole feel unfinished.

Been building a new PC since Saturday. It boots, but only when there’s only one stick of ram in the A2 slot. Anything in B2 and no boot. Mobo problem, I fear. Appt at microcenter scheduled for Friday, hoping for a miracle. Parts list in alt #pcbuilding #pcgaming

This was the situation trying to get tickets to the #MarylandRennaissanceFestival last night. The internet says it’s bots, which def tracks, but who and why is unclear. Scammers are reselling on stubhub but not 80,00 of them.

I played The Drifter last week and holy shit what a great game. The story is phenomenal, perfect scifi/horror, technobabble doesnt get in the way. I normally dont like point and clicks but I took a gamble here and it paid off. Art, music, VO are all superb #gaming #videogames #indiegame #TheDrifter

And another thing — why exactly do Visa and MC actually give a shit about Collective Shout? My understanding is that they’re a fringe group in Australia?? Like is there some actual regulatory risk that nobody seems to be talking about and CS is just doing a hell of a job of helping enforce it???

This is galaxy brain semantic pedantry but: isn’t every video game NSFW, literally not safe for work? If payment processors are not processing NSFW material then they shouldn’t be processing games at all. So what exactly is their standard, I wonder?

I watched him climb up this tree like he was walking up stairs. He doesn’t know it, but his days of freedom are at an end. 105 dead animals in the house (and worse, not yet dead animals) is the line. Screening in the porch and building a 190 sqft catio out back, begins tomorrow. #petsofbluesky #cat

Ozzy was a foundational sound of my teens. Recently at trivia, Iron Man was in the music round. I knew it on the 2nd kick drum I saw him in concert like 7 years ago. It is, and I suspect always will be, the best concert I’ve ever seen RIP Prince of Darkness. There will never be another like you

A new neighborhood cat appeared last night. I have dubbed him Creamcicle because he is orange and white. I must resist the urge to feed and claim this cat

I’m interested in dune 3 primarily because things get off the rails in the second book and I’m morbidly curious to see if they attempt to stay true to that. At one point, Paul compares himself favorably to a certain German in a “I’ve killed WAY more people than that guy” way 😬😬😬

Apparently someone at work made a death threat in their timesheet comments and I’m just so fucking sick of this fucking bullshit timeline

I beat #expedition33 and can confirm that if everyone is wearing swimsuits when they get to the final boss, the final boss is also wearing a swimsuit. GOTY #videogames #gaming #gameoftheyear #goty

I am close the end of #expedition33 and I want to rant about colorblind accessibility in #videogames.

One of the things that I hate emisor about late stage capitalism is that whenever I have to replace something that worked beautifully for 15 years, its replacement is invariably a piece of shit with 10x as many cheap plastic parts that will break and render it irreparably useless within a year

Overheard a guy complaining abt his bank and he goes “and I just learned they don’t even hold onto your money, they loan it out to everyone else. So what’s even the point? I should just keep it.” My guy 1) has never seen It’s A Wonderful Life 2) is getting radicalized by fractional reserve banking

Nice

People on the Internet today seem very angry about the #helldivers #helldivers2 failed MO and I just don’t really understand what there is to be mad about. They’re not going to unplug the servers. So you didn’t get your bonus medals? If you fought all weekend you would have earned hundreds of medals
