Games

If you've not heard of projects like Winlator, GameHub and GameNative, they've been working on bringing what once kinda seemed like the impossible, to being pretty easy and effective: playing full PC games on Android phones and handhelds.

Today's game is Max Payne 2. I discovered the -developerkeys flag so you know i had some fun with that while playing. I did this shot of Max diving over a landing which i really like. My steam keeps doing this weird bug where it crashes and reopens so i only got this shot and one of him nearly hitting the ground, but i still like how it came out. It's accurate too because every time i hit this staircase i do the Dive. Is it a bad move? Yes. Does it look sick? Definitely.

Today's game is Phasmophobia. I meant to get back to Max Payne 2, but i wanted to spend some time with my friends today. Yknow, enjoy a nice start to the weekend and all that. So we kicked back with this. The first few missions were pretty easy. We play on professional now and go through them quick. All of this is to get us hyped up for the upcoming level they're adding (the diner).

In light of the recent criticism that Rockstar Games has been facing for its firing of over 30 employees, one employee from the studio has taken to the GTA Forums to talk about the company’s actions. Under request of anonymity, and having been verified as a real Rockstar Games employee by an admin, the person – using the name Organize – has further criticised the Grand Theft Auto developers, calling the company out for union busting.

Undertale demake made for the Gameboy Color

It has elements from both deep rock and helldivers, with an open map and scattered objectives throughout. You play as a robot cowboy spellcaster fighting undead criptids. They say it's pre-alpha but it's wayyyy to polished for me to believe that, it almost feels like it's ready to ship

Today's game is R.E.P.O. Me and some friends have been playing the latest update. We saw there were some changes made along with some QOL features added at the suggestion of the community which we were excited for. It's kind of nice to see a developer as active within the community as they are. I feel like all the stories i hear about developers this active in the community i miss the bus for.

I'm actually planning to put together a video review, so I'm in the process of organizing my thoughts. This thread is just a spur of the moment thing.

Are you tired of new games coming out broken? Well now is your chance to criticize someone else's game for free! hah I just finished the first playable version of my game and really need unbiased people to try it and give me their opinions and advice. As for the game - it's called The Milgram Experiment. Leave a comment or DM me so we can set something up!

At this rate, the PS6 will be out by the time this game is ready.

Today's game is some more Max Payne 2. I was kind of dreading doing the Construction Site again, as last time it was a struggle. Surprisingly though it was a easy time. I guess my experience from my first play through carried over and made this a cake walk. I found this room full of explosives and a pile of chairs. I let myself have a little fun and detonated it and watched the chairs fly away. I took some damage from it but it was well worth it.

I love the Steamdeck. I've never had a gaming computer & I love this so much. Best $140 I've spent on gaming.

Today's game is Project Zomboid. Me and my friends got back on the Milk Store save, we had a friend joining us later though so we had to make the drive home to pick him up. At the start of our trip we found this taxi. One of my friend's adore collecting these things, and i enjoy collecting cars in this game. I am absolutely not a car guy IRL, but something about having vast collections of these things in the game is fun. I think if i had the space i'd collect all the cars in Kentucky.

Well, I took some time to jot down some thoughts on the one handheld that everyone seems to agree was the bee's knees: the Nintendo 3DS (and all its various iterations thereafter!)

Today's game is some more Max Payne 2. I made it all the way through the Apartments today. The latter half when you're in that big apartment? It was hell. I ran out of pills at the final boss fight and was basically save scumming the entire fight move by move. Maybe Lem was onto something when he asked Max "What the fuck is wrong with you"? Because that was a wild section, and i probably should have just loaded an earlier save.

A bunch of free content with a coupon in LoTRO. Very worth downloading the game and redeeming if you ever had an account or ever think you might even want to try the game.

Today's game is Max Payne 2. ever since i started doing a Theme for this month i've been wanting to play this because of it's fall theme (that and the first game in winter). Now that Halloween is over it's the perfect time for this. I even installed the widescreen fix.

Free Windows 10 support ended for most people this past month, and the trend line of Linux usage has been quite clear leading up to this, as people prepared for the inevitable. An increase in Linux usage is also correlated to a drop in Chinese players, which did happen this month a little bit, but Linux usage is also trending up when filtering for English only. It's worth noting that for all the official support Macs ever saw in gaming, they never represented anything better than about 5% of the market.

Today’s game is some more Halo 5. Me and my friends were in voice call while playing this, and we finally nailed what feels so off about this one to us (at least on a personal level). It feels too much like Borderlands. It’s something about the art style, the fast pace, and the way missions are structured. It’s not bad, but it is far from what we want in a Halo game. Someone mentioned last time that 343 at the time were hiring a bunch of employees who weren’t invested in the franchise, and as a result basically had people redoing the game in a way that disregarded what Halo was. I’m not sure how factual this is, but if it’s the case I can totally see them taking bits from Borderlands with how big it was.

Today's screenshot is from Shift at Midnight. The game has a Demo up on Steam now. It's this game where you run a gas station's graveyard shift, only the twist is that some customers are Doppleganger's who will attack the gas station if they manage to checkout. So you have to check them and make sure they arent a double through an ID check, a mood scan, and just general questioning. If they're a double? You pop em with the gun under the counter. Yeah, it doesn't really make sense logically (they could just attack you in the store), but it's still fun to play.

Arc Raiders has only been out a day, but it has already surpassed a Steam concurrent peak player count of 264,673, making it one of the biggest extraction shooters ever on Valve's platform.

So, once again I'm just going to share the latest in a long, long line of developer interviews I've done.

Today's game is The Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival. Me and some friends played this to carve pumpkins together today. It was a good time. I carved this largish pumpkin meant to look like a cat. I forgot the tail though unfortunately.

Screenshots and short in-game clips.

Today's game is Halo 5: Guardians. Me and the group i usually play Halo with discovered we all have the game so we decided we'd give it a try. We played Halo 1-4, so we have nothing to lose really by giving it a shot.

Minecraft: Java Edition has been obfuscated since its release. This obfuscation meant that people couldn’t see our source code. Instead, everything was scrambled – and those who wanted to mod Java Edition had to try and piece together what every class and function in the code did.

Japan's patent office has rejected a Nintendo application related to its Palworld lawsuit, citing a lack of originality. The decision raises questions about the validity of several Nintendo patents describing creature capture systems that are central to the company's complaint against Palworld.

Today's game is Stranded Deep. I've kind of given up on the Horror Month thing by this point. I'm not sure why but all my interest in RE 2 suddenly vanished. Still though, Stranded Deep can be scary (at times), especially to the right audience. I was playing with my friend and we built this little house to live in. It took a good hour of playtime but it was worth it.

The recently launched Season 10 and Nighthaven update will serve as the final content release for New World on PC and consoles. It is only after much consideration that we've reached this decision. To thank you, the New World community, for your support over the years, we have made the Nighthaven release available to you for free. To ensure all New World players can experience this content, we also made Rise of the Angry Earth free for all PC players.

Oh, and turns out New World, Amazon's one reasonably-sized success in gaming, is shutting down in 2026, and development is ending imminently.

Today's game is some more Project Zomboid. We decided to venture out of the safety of our milk store so one of my friend's who is larping a fireman stripper could get some more Firemen gear. We took a roadtrip to Rosewood too the firestation there. What ended up happening was it got late (in game and irl), so we decided to hunker down in the Firestation and turn it into a safehouse.

It's confirmed: the next xbox will be a Windows PC box. It sounds very interesting that this will also be backwards compatible with Xbox games, including 360/One/Series games. I wonder if it's just emulation, and how well that will work

The initiative has reached the required signature threshold in 15 countries, with Germany and France – the two largest – expected to follow suit.

Today's game is some more Phasmophobia. I don't usually do games like this back to back, but today was busy and i was caught between playing alone or spending time with friends. I chose to hang out with friends. These games are a bit like social games for us, so it's just a great time to chat and hang out.

So the next in my long line of developer chats is here. I got to talk to Whatcookie, a developer from the PlayStation 3 emulator, RPCS3, and ask them all about their work with the emulator! If you're interested in programming, emulation or the old PS3 days, then you might find this one interesting.

Today's game is Phasmophobia. Me and some friends have been trying to collect all the event items in our free time (a.k.a when we're all free and in the mood). It's been fun. We did the light house level and one of my friend's got his neck fucked up by the ghost while hiding in the locker. This friend is what we call the "Kenny" of the group, because every mission ends with him dying, and promptly followed by him screaming "oh, no, not again!".
