  • I would hope yeah. I do think the first season is pretty outstanding. Like imo it's the best piece of star wars media and I don't think it's particularly close (though I am not a mega star wars fan by any means).

  • Well this does seem a bit outdated now that sinners, a really good original movie, has crushed the box office this weekend

  • Yeahhh I bounced off la mulana pretty hard. It's good but I think it's maybe a little too much for me

    Happy Sunday! Whatcha y'all been playing?

    I've done nothing but blue prince. It keeps going deeper. And deeper, and deeper..... I can't stop playing. Someone help

  • Yeah I def think that would be a fine change. Though when you actually unlock the doors they stay open thankfully so that's something

  • Oh my god that sucksssss. Yeah the first one does help with the sigils I think. Grade 4 does too. I also started getting a bunch of letters delivered to the mail room but they're like basically just solutions to early puzzles I already figured out

  • I think I only have 2 actually thinking about it. I have the boudoir safe and time release safe from the shelter. I think I know how to open the office safe though. Yes I want to fully drain the reservoir and getting the boiler again had been a pain. I also got the tomb for the first time yesterday and opened that entrance to the basement too. The sanctum things, yeah I know generally what is needed but the clues needed are eluding me. Though I think I found one at the top of the clock tower. The main thing in room 46 is a list of where all the sanctum keys are. There is another puzzle in there involving a map but I haven't figured that out yet.

    Also really want to get to classroom 8. I've only been able to make it to 5 so far

  • Doing well! I got the clue written out that tells you how to solve the safes. Have opened 3 now I think. Also have two of the sanctum keys. I've been continually coat checking the gear wrench so I can someday make the boiler room common.... But I've yet to find it again lol. I'm trying to hook up the pump room so I can drain the reservoir.

  • Congrats! Yeah there's sooooo much left to discover. Definitely try and make it back to room 46 again. There's a lot in there to point you in new directions :)

  • Yeah it's surprising how little you actually need to roll credits. Also no problem! Happy to help :)

  • Just rolled credits! Really amazing. But there's still sooooooooo much more

  • Yeah I agree there so far. I'll have to see once I beat it and peel back some of the layers. But yeah while it is scratching that same discovery itch for me, outer wilds is an unmatched experience. I will say though, while the rng is definitely different, there is a similar feeling to starting a new loop in OW and starting a new day in BP

  • Yeah I kinda get that. I've had a couple of those walls. But I think if you purposely try to pick rooms that you've not had, even if it seems bad or not useful things might start to piece together more. A lot of things can be useful in ways you might not expect. I think I've maybe had 1 or 2 runs where I truly learned nothing. Every other run has had some sort of knowledge or permanent progress. Also some rooms only appear on certain edges of the house. I've found some of the important profession related ones that way.

    But yeah it's a game you gotta treat as much as a roguelite as you do a puzzle game. And it unfortunately isn't for everyone

  • I will say the antechamber is just the beginning of the end game stuff. There's a lot more to go after making it inside

  • I think I'm at day 21 or 22. Made it to the antechamber for the first time yesterday. Not sure hours played atm

  • It's so good isn't it? Figured out some big brain puzzles yesterday and was blown away. Absolutely loving it

    I've been diving deep into Blue Prince.

    Really awesome roguelite puzzle game. Highly recommend checking it out!!!

  • Steam deck is good! And if your Internet is good, any device that can do moonlight streaming.

    I have my steam deck plugged into my TV in my living room. I'm all hardwired and can use moonlight to stream my PC to my steam deck with no noticeable latency. I'm usually very picky about input lag / latency and I legitimately cannot notice it. Moonlight/sunlight is wayyyy better than steam remote play imo. And for indie games that the steam deck can run well, I can play natively from that. I hardly ever play at my desk anymore

    I beat Chrono trigger which was excellent!

    I have finally started cyberpunk 2077 after years of owning it. I'm really liking it! Think I'll be thoroughly sucked into this one

    Figured it'd be nice to have a spot to talk about this. Link is to the upcoming direct on their channel.

    People can also post articles after the fact, I don't think our community is so active that I worry about clogging the feed. But we'll see. I'm excited!

    I recently got super into Chrono trigger, finally. Been on my backlog forever and I've been binging it when I can. I think I'm pretty close to beating it, but I'm going in blind so I'm not totally sure

    What have y'all been playing?

    I'm currently not totally sure what to play. I finished what remains of Edith finch, and pretty much every short game on my backlog is now done. Everything left is a decent size. I'm between Chrono trigger, finishing/starting over Majora's mask, disco Elysium, and nier Automata!

    What have you all been playing?

    I finally finished avowed. I enjoyed my time with it quite a bit but I'm happy it's done.

    I also ended up being productive with my backlog and best both Cuphead and Jusant. Cuphead was great but I was ultimately disappointed in Jusant

    What'cha all been playing? I've been playing a ton for Avowed this last week. I'm really enjoying it! It's definitely got some issues but overall it's been one of my favorite RPGs in recent memory

    Whatcha playing?

    I've been playing a bunch of Avowed! I am really enjoying it. It kinda feels, combat wise, that they just fixed Skyrim combat lol. It's like Skyrim combat but with any actual feedback. It actually feels like you're hitting things.

    I also played and beat Thank Goodness You're Here. That was a trip, but a funny and worthwhile one

    Whatcha all been playing?

    I finally beat Indiana Jones. Very solid game. Perhaps a bit too long and has some noticeable jank. But I really liked it overall

    Also got to play the Elden Ring Nightrein network test. Damn, that game is super super fun. I'm really excited to play the full release!

    I've been playing a ton of "The Roottree's are dead."

    It's a very cool detective game akin to obra dinn and golden idol. Highly recommend if you're a fan of the genre. Besides that I've also been checking out a bunch of playdate stuff :3
