I've been replaying Subnautica. It feels like a completely different game the second time around, but still fun. Plus they've got it running much better now than it was on launch.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I'm on vacation and my shitty Chromebook made me rediscover how atmospheric Diablo 1 was. I'm using DevilutionX source port, pretty good IMO.
I remember playing Diablo back in the 90s at my friends PC. I chose warrior as I always do in RPGs. The game was fun, atmospheric as f*ck, but then I hit those lava maze levels with shooters everywhere. It was terrible, because rhey kept shooting and running with no chance to get to them and kill 'em. So I ditched the game for good. I'll always remember it as the most atmospheric and dark game of that era and still have great memories of it.
Monster Hunter Rise. I've been a big MH fan since Tri and have hundreds of hours in each one since then, but for whatever reason, when Rise was announced and came out I just wasn't really excited for them. Partner and I picked it up over winter sale for an all time low thinking, ah at least we won't be too disappointed at this price. Got just as sucked in as previous MHs and am approaching 100 hours right now, lol.
It's not actually a game, but I spent the weekend migrating a bunch of my Minecraft servers to Docker from standalone boxes. Went surprisingly well.
Now I just need to switch from Infrared to BungeeCord+Geyser.
Just started The Outer Worlds, which I got free on EGS during the holiday.
I love the aesthetics and voice acting. The movement feels a bit floaty, but it's alright. At least the configuration of the controls is intuitive.
I know some people who've played it. Some say they really enjoyed it, while others said it was rather bland. I'm really enjoying it so far, but I'm not too far in. It seems like a game where I could get caught up in the side quests without ever advancing in the main quest.
I loved it when I played it, but that was before I had played any Mass Effect games. Now that I've played Mass Effect, I don't know that I would have liked Outer Worlds as much as I did. I wouldn't be surpised if that's where the differing opinions come from: those who've played Mass Effect vs those that haven't.
I'm in luck then because I never could get Mass Effect to create saves on my PC for some reason.
I played ME1 years ago. It was decent overall, but I would hardly call it exceptional.
I remember a little. Just that story was mostly good, main quests okayish, side quests mostly terrible and repetitive. It always felt like cheap knock off of KotOR (cheap in content, not presentation).
Everyone was hyping the game so hard I was quite disappointed in the end. So disappointed I haven't even started ME2 despite having it in library. And it probably won't ever happen, especially when I discovered they ditched the bare minimum RPG elements ME1 had.
Just finished Doom 2016 the other day. What an absolute fucking blast. I have not had that much pure stupid unadulterated fun in a video game in a long time. If Doom Eternal didn't exist, I would not hesitate to replay Doom 2016 on a harder difficulty just to keep jamming to the soundtrack if nothing else. RIP & TEAR
Atomic Heart. DAMN this games good!! I know it won the steam award for visuals, but it feels like no one is playing this thing? I'm a little ways before the end of it, but it's already rocketed up to the levels of Prey or Titanfall 2 or the bioshocks for me.
The game is definitely interesting, but I just don't want to support the developer.
🏴☠️
I can't even remember the high seas since steam and non stop sales became a standard. So... Doesn't Atomic Heart come with denuvo?
Oh! Wow I actually don't know, I played it off of Game Pass and didn't even think about it.
Edit: yes Google says it does have denuvo. What a shame, hopefully it gets cracked. In the meantime I suggest game pass! Could easily beat it on a month, and cheaper than buying the copy
I've been playing Minecraft for the first time.
Yup.
Idk why I hadn't, probably just the timing with my life when it came out I guess.
I'm a big fan of legos so that's not too far.
I'm playing it vaguely like Deep Rock Galactic, although even a diamond sword pales compared to a minigun or flamer.
If you are playing the Java edition of Minecraft there may be a mod that adds what you are looking for.
