The Path of Pain? Yeah I gave up on that too. Also gave up on trying to beat Grim, even in my second play through.

Yes. Also commenting on your Dig Dug icon, which I love!

Frostpunk. OMG never have I played a game like this. It was emotionally exhausting and I didn’t realize it until I finished the first scenario. I was like if been holding my breath for a few weeks and was finally able to let it out. Started a second scenario and I honestly don’t think I can do it again. I loved it but WOW.

This game was FANTASTIC. Would definitely play a sequel if it came out.

This one is on my list too! How does it compare to Factorio?

This one was a surprise for me too, got LOTS of gameplay out of the demo and looking forward to the full game!

As a (former?) camper, I did it because I was never good at moving and shooting at the same time. I also wasn’t the best camper either, that’s why I never played online.

It has its uses but I can absolutely see how it’s frustrating for other players in certain games like COD.

Exactly. I remember I used to try to have the most “friends” possible but at some point it was like “yeah I don’t actually talk to these people and I don’t think I will.” Used to also keep FB for certain groups I was part of but in the end, there was just no point.

Nothing. I never stayed in contact with people and regularly downsized my friend list. I found that I was keeping people as friends but hadn’t talked to or messaged them in years. People I actually talk to have my number and I have theirs. Scrolling through people’s lives kept me from reaching out and having real conversations with people so…yeah.

Hollow Knight and Spiritfarer.

Can’t say I’m surprised by that. I’ve seen Brother highly recommended so the future isn’t too bleak if I can’t get another one ☺

Been on the laser printer bandwagon for almost 10 years. Bought a mono Samsung and it’s been my ride or die ever since. I think I’ve gone through two toners in that time, maybe 3. My only regret is not getting a color one but that’ll be my upgrade if this one ever dies.

Frostpunk and Diablo 4. Frostpunk is my first civ management game in a while (played lots Age of Empires and Age of Wonders back in the day) and OH MAN is this game good. Diablo is…compelling enough but not better than 3. Dislike the online aspect mainly but overall the game has its merits.

Love this thread idea BTW!

Oh yes choice anxiety was definitely a thing. I think I felt that more with Afterparty and even played the game a second time to try to alter things but at the end of the day, I realized it’s not that serious and simply enjoying the game made it a better experience.

Oh geez, I’d forgotten about the circus of VALUE! Gotta emphasize it like that 😂. I think I found Infinite to be more of a mixed bag. Creepy but in a different way. All I remember is being killed by George Washington 😂

Agreed. I was pretty upset that the series progressed the way it did and the third one…we just don’t talk about that.

Sands of Time has the most beautiful cutscenes, that was my favorite part of the game.

Absolutely. I’m about to jump into the third one, which from what I understand is basically a remastered version of 2 with more civilizations to choose from.

Oxenfree, A Night in the Woods, Afterparty, and Gris. Gris is a masterpiece when it comes to visuals but not story-heavy. The other three are entirely story.

Yesssss loved this game. Played all three and nothing hits like the first one.
