Speaking of TGA reveals, give me Legacy of Kain remasters or give me death!
Act 1 elites are always brutal and can easily kill you if you're unlucky with drops, particularly Gremlin Nob since he is a pure DPS race and there's nothing you can do to defend yourself besides beating him faster than he'll beat you.
By the end of act 2 if you don't have a good enough deck to beat the boss it's your fault and no amount of rng can change that.
I honestly don't find it that shocking that a lot more people die in act 1 than in act 2.

I would really lower the expectations because Geoff loves to hype up the show and most of the time is not THAT great. So yeah, none will happen.
Haven got a nice banner.
I wasn't planning to buy any game this month except for Winter Sale but I forgot it was releasing this month.

Want to hear something even better?
I too got the section about the important friendships I've made. But it was totally blank, since I have no friends on Ubisoft Connect... Nice algorithm you got there, Ubisoft...
I had 5 games played over 5 years. Seems a bit low of you ask me...
Favorite game was apparently Ghost Recon Wildlands... Where I "shoot first, ask questions later" whatever that is supposed to mean....
thats exactly what I have as well! Only when Tizoc posted his, In realised there was supposed to be a number in that sentence.
I wanna play Haven but i don't have an SO to play Haven with, sadface
Ok FINE wait a few years for the sale percentage to be low enough that I can pretend I'm paying full price for a game with good regional pricing.Atelier
price drop
Pick one
Eh, I think I got blown up by the Act 1 Elites a lot when I was first starting A20, but at this point, they don't feel very threatening, at least not directly. There's less variation at that early stage of the run, and you can reliably expect to take ~40 damage in the worst case from an Act 1 elite if you've been taking direct damage cards. It makes it possible to play safely around them, since they're so consistent. Honestly, the thing that scares me most in Act 1 is Slime Boss, because I have a knack for losing focus and accidentally splitting at like, 70~75 HP.
Act 2 hallway fights scare me more because it's so easy to overtune your deck for clearing Act 1, which leaves you unprepared for how suddenly the Act 2 fights can dish out big damage. You have to minimize defensive pickups in Act 1, then Act 2 comes along like, "Here's an avocado kicking you in the dick for 21+frail on turn 1. Should've taken the Shrug It Offs, idiot." It's so tricky to balance.
I signed up for the Game Pass 3-month deal, let's see how my first experience with the Xbox app turns out.
Agreed. Julian Gollop is a god of gaming for me and I backed the Phoenix Point Fig campaign but I asked for a refund as soon as the news broke out and I'm not going to buy it on Steam. I just don't care about the game anymore.

TIL Fenyx is available on Geforce Now.
Hope you get lucky.
Your experience will be:
Hope you get lucky.
Your experience will be:- either "everything is fine, I don't know what all the fuss is about",
- or "well, I cannot get the game to run, there is no error message, and there is no hint/help online".

Xbox app tip: if you want to uninstall a game, check it doesn't have an update first. You have to update, launch to make sure it's safe, then uninstall or else the data will remain in your drive.
I had a new PC at the time when I was gifted Game Pass so I luckily had no issues.Hope you get lucky.

My previous PC though... it was a nightmare.
I know it's VNN and you should take it with a grain of salt, but I enjoy watching his videos:
Funny, I canceled my game pass ultimate with only a few days left, hoping I could sign up for offer. turns they will refund me one euro haha.
I managed to get the thing generated. Top 3 games:
3rd AssCreed Syndicate
2nd AssCreed Origins
1st AssCreed Odyssey
When I click to subscribe gamepass for PC the description that pops up only mentions that I'm paying 1 for the first month and will be charged 9.99 for subsequent months. No mention of the 2 free months.
Just be happy that it's downloading anything at all.
Yes this is normal.
Light up a candle for the download to complete.
If this lasts then this kid might be set for life when he gets into his early 20s

Oh wow. Creeper world 4 just came out. I was fairly obsessed with Creeper World 3 some years ago, but for some reason I can't quite get behind this move to 3d. It just sorta looks ugly I guess. I don't want to fuss with a camera either. I want to clikclikclik. I'll try the demo but ...
It reminds me of that TA Spring project back in the day to bring Total Annihilation into 3d. I hated that too. I mean this game actually looks like TA Spring from way back then. Where it was kinda ugly and bland, whereas TA was a beautiful ugly.
I don't know. No doubt I would've been super cool as a rich and somewhat famous teenage boy who did nothing but play video games online for a solid decade. What could go wrong?
Not by IP, they just disallow virtualized hardware. It's a blanket thing. Besides, given the bulk nature of their hardware, it's not very hard to identify its signature even if they managed to spoof the virtualization check itself.
Edit : Genshin Impact also does this. Can't play it on Shadow.

I'm going down the vets tomorrow to have my cat put down. I've known she has cancer for almost 6 months, she had a surgery to cut it out which didn't work, and the cancer spread everywhere. She at the end now as her quality of life has diminished significantly over the last few days,
I'm heartbroken despite knowing for months that its been coming and that there would never be enough time. She's had a good long life and been spoilt rotten since the day she came to us as a young adult rescue cat from the RSPCA. Goodbye to best cat Storm, I'll miss you.

Arise: A Simple Story not receiving a launch discount while it has a discount right now on EGS sucks hard. Will wait for a sale.
I feel you. My cat died about 1 year ago if I remember correctly and it took weeks for me to "heal" myself.

What a huge disappointment from a formerly very pro-consumer company like Techland. It seems Epic really brings up the worst for certain companies in the games industry. I hope people will vote with their wallets, and I hope that Dying Light 2 will be a normal multistore release.
That's a damn fine beast. I'm glad it had a great life.

Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit.
My condolences. I still miss my dog after all these years, cherished the memories.

What a beauty. It feels terrible to see a beloved companion go, but as long as you cherish the memories they’ll be a part of you for your entire life, and they’ll continue to make you smile even long after they’re gone. I’m sure they were lucky to have a dedicated friend in you!
What a beautiful cat. I'm so sorry for your loss.
I've had a lovely cat for the last 18 months or so. She's still very young and hopefully she has a long time left, but the day you're facing right now terrifies me. It scares me so much I can't even fathom what you're going through right now.
Played Immortals: Fenyx Rising all day, like 6 hours. It's a lot of fun, but sadly badly optimized. It looks far less detailed than Valhalla, Legion, Odyssey, Origins etc. yet requires much more of your hardware. Weird, but Im playing at 60 fps thanksfully.
Perhaps thye biggest game suprise of the year for me. It's simply a lot of fun.

Thank you for the kind words folks, its really appreciated. I've been through this a few times as we always have an older rescue cat so I always know where we will end up and how much it hurts.
I've gone through it a few times over the years and know you can't be worrying when there is nothing to worry about.
Just enjoy the time and don't let needless worry colour how you feel about things.

Try out the new Nvidia Drivers that came out today.
Only played Fenyx Rising for an hour, so things might change, but the game is running around the 100 fps mark during general gameplay for me.
It is significantly faster than Valhalla, Origins and Odyssey on my system.
I have it, so not that. Weird, Valhalla and Legions runs better. Maybe a restart of my PC will do it, but it's not like I need it much, I do get 60 fps.
Pricing error :: PHOGS! General Discussions
Wooow can someone have a look and confirm whether South Africa has correct pricing? That does not look quite right
Well, I'm glad to see some companies fixing unjust regional pricing for once.
To think it launched with a nearly AAA game price tag felt like an insult to certain affected consumers.
We need more Happy Endings like this one.
Ever since I played Goldeneye on N64 I've been telling people for years, that this things gonna blow. Get out of that telescope! Well I told you so and it was awesome.

good night sweet prince
I made my peace with that a while ago already
Hmmm actually the dev tweeted on December 2: "Yep still being worked on, nothing new to show yet but you can join our discord where we post some more content/news. "
Sooo what Mor said on Twitter about this becoming and exclusive of some sort might turn out to be true. The timing with TGA is a bit too convenient.

Just finished Gears 5 and overall i liked it a lot. Really good looking game. High production value. Pretty linear shooty bang bang but with a decent story (dont remember anything from previous Gears so it was all a bit disjointed). Liked seeing Marcus again..
Well worth the 8 quid it was in the sale.

Or you could be cheap-ass like me and spend a $1 for a month of gamepass to finish the bloody thing.
Update on EITR: one of the devs said on their Discord that they didnt take it down or cancel it and Devolver manages their Steam page. He said its not an epic exclusive and didnt know anything about it being taken down, and will ask Devolver whats up. We'll see.

Nice. Good on the devs.
If it becomes EGS timed exclusive (and I still think it will as it matches the development hell category) it will be something between Epic and Devolver, might not even be a thing known from the devs at all. Unfortunately it would not be the first this happens.
Again, timing is perfect for the event EGS reel

Yeah its absolutely not beneath Devolver to pull shady stuff like that. The exchange on Discord went like this:
[22:49] Nanaki: Hi. EITR was removed from Steam Store few minutes ago. Why? Is it canceled?
[22:50] Eadous: No not cancelled, I actually don't control the store page, so I'm assuming it was just taken down temporarily
[22:53] Eidolen: Damn, just checked, rip my wishlisting for it. Ahahha
[22:55] Nanaki: I figured the game was maybe going to be an epic exclusive. Am I wrong?
[22:56] Eadous:
you know I didn't know it would take down the wishlists, and it's not an epic exclusive.[22:57] Nanaki: Ok, thank you
[22:57] Eidolen: That's a good question though, how does a steam listing for a game work? Is it devolver digital that manages the listing?
[22:57] Cake for Mumm-Ra: That sucks. I hope it reappears on everyone's wishlist.
[22:58] Eadous: ye they manage all that side of it
[22:58] Eadous: will have to ask and find out
[23:07] Fins: I believe the companies have their producer profiles, so it might be up to Devolver to put the listing back on if Valve isn't responsible.
With Eadous being one of the devs (and its a 2 man team). Make of it what you will. He states its not exclusive, but maybe he just doesnt know it yet. However, if Devolver would want to make it egsclusive, they wouldnt really need to take the page down, right? Plenty of others left theirs up, and Valve encourages devs to do just that, leave the pages up. So... maybe someone at Devolver made a mistake? Maybe there was a backroom deal. We'll have to wait and see.
