As of today, I have now been a site member for exactly eight years, not counting the year or two I spent lurking without an account. It’s change in too many ways to describe, but the people here are still just as wonderful as they were when I joined. ðŸ

In light of my upcoming eight-year anniversary on the site, I’ve been trying to be more active here. For today’s update, whatever could this package be?

So many game updates today. Got my Steam Controller in the mail finally, beat Devil May Cry 2 and got to "enjoy" the ending, downloaded a bunch of updates and mods for Project Zomboid, just an all-around good day for gaming for me.

Playing through DMC2 with Kerrik and it's just as awful as I was led to believe. I laughed so hard during the helicopter fight on the roof that I had a genuine coughing fit after almost choking on my beer. I literally just stood in place the entire fight.

Unpopular opinion, but I really like achievements you can get just by playing the game. Beating chapters, killing enemies, difficulties, etc. Not because they're good, but because you can see how different people play and where they give up and stuff.

Had too much foodstuffs clogging my inventory in Fallout, so I made a food bank so that people could take some for free if they needed it. Other players have been really helpful so I wanted to return the favor somehow, despite being low-level.

Happy birthday Vxxy I love yooouuu big smoochies

Tried my hand at 3D modeling for the very first time! It was a lot of fun, even with all the trial and error. The program is Nomad Sculpt for Android and iOS.

Finally had the chance to play more RE3 and I love it! It's not quite RE1/RE2 Remake or RE7 or Revelaitons, but it's definitely up there for me. Definitely more action-y than RE2 but not nearly as much as Rev or RE4 so far. Also made a new sewer friend!

Having to go to Steam and GOG to see reviews and tech support threads because it's not covered by any major outlets and EGS has no system in place for forums or user reviews is the peak Epic Game Store experience.

Have approximately $50-60 in Steam wallet gifts/credit. Would Horizon Zero Dawn and Control be a decent use of my funds? Both are GOTY. 🤔

Just woke up from a dream where Breath of the Wild 2 was revealed to be a top-down game with stock Unity assets, but everyone was still talking about how amazing it looked and when I said it looked bad Triggerpigking drove to my house and beat me up.

I saw this in a server I'm in and wanted to make sure it got to Occams.

I'm genuinely curious, what's the appeal of stuff like Google Stadia or Geforce? When many major retailers and even first parties like Microsoft offer PCs and consoles on subsidy for less than $30 a month, would anyone pay so much for games you don't own?

How the hell is the EGS still this pathetically dogshit? What happened to the roadmap? What an enormous piece of shit software.

Had a startling realization today and suddenly it all made sense.

At Kerrik52's request, I played the original Devil May Cry! Just beat it today. I wasn’t expecting to, but I had a really great time with it! It was cheesy as hell and the gameplay actually aged really well. Definitely going to try the rest of the serie

Thanks to Kerrik52, InquisitiveRavenclaw, and everyone who recommended PSUs and wattage calculators in my previous qpost, the FrankenPC is once more alive and quieter than it was the day we built her! I can’t thank you guys enough. Love this community!

I want to thank Kerrik52 and InquisitiveRavenclaw for buying me a replacement power supply for my PC. This PC got me through some of the worst moments of my life, and it dying on me felt like a punch in the gut. I can't tell you how much this means to me.

Hey everyone! The PSU fan in my gaming rig gave up the ghost yesterday and I was wondering what some good brands or models were. It’d need to be ATX and between 400-450W. Any help would be appreciated!

I've been playing a metric fuck-ton of classic-style roguelikes. Like actual roguelikes modeled after Rogue. They're absolutely wonderful and brutal and have been kicking my teeth in. Been thinking of doing a blog about my love of the genre, possibly.

And just like that, another game's off the list! This time it was ZombiU. Absolutely phenomenal game, and a true underrated classic. Hot on the heels of Cold Fear, Dead Space, RE Remake, RE Rev, Dying Light, Alien: Isolation, and Metro Exodus to boot.

I absolutely loathe how long Origin and the EGS take to update. Uplay and Steam are a pain in the ass, but they have the common decency to not have huge-ass updates that take ages on my shitty internet. Wish more games were DRM free or on GoG.

Been playing Dead Cells on my iPad and it’s a lot of fun! Giving me Rogue Legacy vibes which I really appreciate. I’m still awful at it, but I’m getting better, and being able to take it with me is appreciated too. (Also, it’s absolutely gorgeous!

Spent Memorial Day weekend making a tiered herb planter for my mom's garden. She found some she liked online but they were all handmade and very expensive, so I told her I'd make one for her. Ended up being only $40. Not bad for being out of practice.
