So Red Dead Redemption... basically a poaching simulator?

Part of why DD is so much fun is because the central game-design principle seems to be to throw tons of variance at the player and challenge them to limit and control the variance.

It's a pretty...

I waited far too long to try out Darkest Dungeon. It's great.

Such a time sink.

It really shines as a multiplayer coop RPG. Single player is good, don't get me wrong.

It's a beautiful game, with a good leveling system and turn based combat.
Also has talking cats.

Modded Skyrim SE is amazing.
Top 3 mods I can think of sitting at work on a slow day in-between last day of classes and final exams:

Legacy of the Dragonborn is epic.
Ordinator makes the perk...

If you can create a generic sandbox map, the bugs can be turned off at world gen. Having done so, turn off pollution, too. Pollution's only purpose is to trigger the bugs to attack.

I recommend...

If you don't like Steam, you can take a look a gog.com.

If you don't like either, you can buy Factorio direct from the Factorio website.

It's going to run in its own window, anyway, so there's...

I'd be playing Witcher 3 if it weren't just beyond my new 'puter's specs. I've been watching a youtube series that's over 100 episodes in at this point @ ~30 min each. Tons of content.

There's...

Factorio is the game that keeps on giving.

The game was perfectly stable and playable a year ago (when I discovered it, probably much earlier though, judging by the scope of mods available at that...

@Jack
As much as you are being sensible, your argument is paper thin.
"Other people feel as entitled as I do." is not a call to justice. "They lied to me." is not an indictment of criminal...

AAA is not a well-defined term.

It's generally used to mean the games from studios with the largest staffs and budgets, and they are, therefore, expected to be a GOTY title every time.

I think I ... agree ... with banana

I don't see what he misunderstood, Jack.

And his points are fine. We're big kids now. Game...

Glad to hear you've found a great game to enjoy!

You're a professional. Housekeeping services are relatively cheap. You may be amazed at how far 20 bucks will go when you're paying someone to...

At a certain point of loot overflow, I usually end up asking myself if I'm ignoring the RP part of the RPG and simply trying to hoard all the things. I have yet to come across a situation where I...

@ Oscar "Was that not abundantly obvious already... "

I had my suspicions, but now I'm certain, is all.

OK... this is not really my kind of thing, but I have to admit that I clicked on it, and lolled.

Stupid video embed not working.

Except that if you had that Jose Conseco card today, still in mint condition, it'd be worth something.

so... I rabbit-holed on Skyrim mods last night after I made that post.

Wow. They've come a long way in the years since I last played the game.
One of them really stood out to me. I think it's...

I played Starcraft once, then I took an arrow to the knee.
:p
I'm playing Skyrim again. It's been long enough since I last played that it's fresh again.
I don't even remember what is modded or...

Well, you asked a "google this for me" question.

My answer is, "You can google that."

I can't answer those questions, but Raspberry Pi has a dedicated following of DIY computer types who are more excited about their community than most Apple users. There must be a wealth of online...

It's tiny, but it has decent specs.

I'm old.
I was a grumpy teenager full of angst in the SNES and early N64 era and video games were such a "waste of time" and "not productive" in my mind at the time. Then I joined PC master race...

I, regrettably, am one of the nostalgia nerds who still thinks original gold-cartridge LoZ is my favorite of the series. Also regrettably, I haven't even played the SNES or N64 titles. So clearly I...
