Thieving also makes more sense. People now notice when stuff is stolen, and make nearby characters prove they didn't steal their stuff. Guards also care if you stole someone else's stuff. The main thing I miss so far is using the pyramids to teleport the party back together (but not the teleporter puzzles, 2-3 is enough forever).

Protip: You can switch characters while talking to someone. Abuse this to keep your mark occupied while you rob them blind, and even distract bystanders so they don't notice what's going on.

Grim Dawn, mostly because I'm dead set on piling enough bodies atop of each other in order to reach lvl 100 as a HC char, and partly because I literally cannot be fucked installing anything else because there's a good chance I'd just have to reinstall the damn thing in a few days once something inevitably shits itself and breaks windows again.

And I gotta say, it's been suprisingly non-frustrating having to restart every several hours, mostly because in each instance the death was pretty much my fault and so far, the early content (first 30-40 levels or so) is still fairly enjoyable.

Went back to Inquisitor Martyr. Needed my 40k game fix. Psykers are still completely OP. Traipsing through souped-up missions where I deal 70% less damage and take 110% more damage and still beating them without really breaking a sweat.

Forager

It's a retro-graphics idle/clicker style game, where the goal is to gather resources and use them to craft tools and machines that let you gather more resources to build better tools and machines and so forth. There are some Zelda-like elements, with dungeons and puzzles and various tools needed to progress through them. There's also elements of Stardew Valley, with farming and collecting sets of rare junk to turn in for rewards.

Overall it's been a fun ride...but with 16 hours played all I have left is a bit of endgame grind for the completionist achievements, and $20 is difficult to justify with that length of gameplay.

Yep. Just need to be fast to get what you want before they close the window and wander off to start accusing people. At least in Definitive Edition. You can also use the anchor on the mini-map to teleport the thief away, meaning all of the stolen stuff is somewhere that they can't get to. Problem being that our thief plays on a resolution that makes everything too tiny to see and uses a trackball, so he's very prone to misclicks.

My weakness is not spinning the map often enough to see all of the chests and barrels that the camera hides. Are there visibility options or an alternative to holding alt that makes containers show up?

You might try this, though I cannot personally vouch for it.

Has anyone made a life joke yet? No?
Oh okay

I'm currently playing a confusing game called life. Rather stressful and I don't know half the rules. I'd rate it....6/10

City of Heroes :D :D :D
You cannot simply post that and not explain. City of Heroes shut down years ago, and last I checked the closest thing you could get to a private server was this character creator / free roam thing.

Provide more information or forever be considered an honorless scoundrel.
Yeah, I wasn't sure how much I could say without violating bullet point 5 of the forum guidelines; I figured a google search brings up the story, but I see others have filled in the details.

The 'Homecoming' servers are pretty overloaded (they had something like 8k people trying to play on 2 shards, but they extended that to 4 shards now), so there's been a lot of issues with disconnects, server crashes, etc... but there's also been hours at a time when it runs great :D

Sadly there's only one other game in town. And while it has gotten some glowing reviews, I'm pretty sure those guys have not actually played it yet and are just getting paid to publish lies.

Playing Apex Legends on PS4. Not really my kinda game, but it's free, a friend is playing it, and it (probably) beats Paladins...

Streets Of Rogue - where you can free prisoners only to have them attack you for the sole reason of "You wear different clothing than them".

Where smashing people through walls isn't an uncommon occurrence with a high enough Melee stat.

Where cops don't give a shit about anything that doesn't happen right in front of them.

Where having a special hat is the only true claim to authority you can have.

It's a fun, if hectic game.

If you eat a giantizer pill as a jock, you can charge through the level walls.

Unless that's been changed in a recent patch, that is... I haven't played in a while. Haven't even been to downtown yet!

Playing Fallout 1, which I've got for free, and so far it's good. It aged really well, IMO, and the fact that I can punch people in ze balls's a plus for me.

Playing mordhau for past 2 days

Its very fun, like chivalry, but better somehow
Also.. you can halfsword and beat people with your crosshilt in it which is medieval as heck.
Also2.. Players often use actual battle lines in this game instead of charging randomly like if it was battlefield-like fps, i dont know how it even works, it must be intuitional or something... and that makes for a good game in my opinion.
