Correct. 😉

Thanks for the recommendations! Especially Easy Red 2 👀

I am a big fan of the Red Orchestra/Rising Storm series and there is a mod coming out soon for Rising Storm 2 called Black Orchestra that I’m planning to fill the Battlefield shaped hole in my heart with. It’s in beta right now, but you best believe I’ll be letting everyone know about it when it hits steam.

I pretty much only buy indie games at this point. Any game made by a company that benefits a stock ticker? You best believe I’m… (checks what comm I’m in) …Acquiring it. Lol

Funnily enough the one exception to this rule that I probably would have made was BF6 but they forced me to sit this one out by barring Linux users 🤷‍♂️ So I’m playing Outer Worlds 2 instead rn.

Holy shit, wasn’t it like ten bucks before?

I am absolutely thinking of Frontline! Thanks for setting me straight!

“GRAB THOSE BANGALORES!”

Yes! This game was amazing at the time. Storming Normandy and a later mission on German u boat are both core memories for me. And I can confirm (though this was almost 10 years ago now, so it’s probably worse still) graphics do not hold up today at all but I remember still liking the actual gameplay still. Might try to spin that up in an emulator sometime for shits and gigs. Thanks for the blast from the past OP.

I played Civ 7 after a few patches and I just could not get into it. I don’t think I even made it into the second phase or age or whatever. Was so bummed by how lackluster it felt that I went and tried out Humankind, and despite a steepish learning curve I ended up enjoying it so much I played through 3 entire games.

Go play Fallout London. It’s a bitch to install and has more bugs than an ant colony but it’s the best Fallout since New Vegas imo. Even in it’s rough around the edges state you can tell it is a love letter to Fallout and is so good its canon for me regardless of what the will of Todd may ultimately decide.

If you have any issues installing the game and getting it stable please reach out to me. There was also a nearly gamebreaking issue with semi auto rifle damage being grossly under calculated that I can help with as well. If Fallout 3 and NV are your favorite games you really should play it and that goes for anyone else who stumbles on this comment. It’s just so good.

Fuckin lizard people man. I was thinking of touching a CoD for the first time in a decade because of this mod.

Oh well.

I started Fallout London and I’ve only played enough to start aiding the Vagabonds fending off another faction call Isle of Dogs at some bar called the Swan and Miter I think? The game seems more deadly than Vanilla Fallout 4 but that might just be because I haven’t found a Doctor yet after my recent debilitating train crash.

I’m enjoying the game but it was a bitch to get running in a playable state. Buffout 4, and HighFPS Fix with some .ini tweaks are both mandatory mods IMO. I was going crazy at first with, no shit, 5 minute load screens. Now they are down to less than a minute which is still an eternity in the year of our Lord 2024, but I’m too lazy to reinstall on my small SSD to get it even faster, so I’ll just deal.

That’s ok, I mix up shit in my own language all the time lol. What is the Ukrainian equivalent of blyat?

Source?

For Liberty!

Nah the new games do a good job of letting you know what’s going on. Plus it is a totally different pantheon of Gods/ story arc. I played the OGs as a kid and didn’t revisit them at all before playing the new ones and loved them.

The new games do not play like the old ones. If you aren’t enjoying the god of war collection I would still very much recommend playing the new ones. Both of the new games have amazing stories, interesting puzzles, and great gameplay.

😢 I didn’t realize they were still doing that dumb shit…

Agreed, however even if it can feasibly look like that it will never look that good on my computer.

Lethal Company. Its both hilarious and horrifying.
