I remember this one being one of my favorites when I was a kid.

I started Wasteland 3 with my wife. We really love Solasta and were looking for another tactical rpg. So far we’re enjoying it. The violence and language are a but much at times, but the fact that we have a cat with a cowboy hat on the team makes up for it.

That’s funny, reading your post I immediately thought of Ball x Pitt, before you even mentioned it.

That being said, I actually loved that game, and obsessively played it for 60 hours. I think it took me 3 or 4 hours to beat the first level, but to me it felt very rewarding. For me it was more about figuring out the right ball evolutions and character selection to beat a level.

That did change for the later levels. After a while it became too easy, and it just felt like grinding to unlock the next thing. The harvesting component was actually a refreshing break between runs, and probably kept me playing longer than I would have otherwise.

I don’t get it. It’s this a reference to something else?

I think that chest is a mimic

Thanks, I actually didn’t know about that. I had to enable it in settings for it to show up.

They’re not prawns, they’re horses, and referred to as knights. Also they don’t become queens.

I was happy when they had a free weekend of No Rest For The Wicked. My wife and I are always looking for good co-op games. This one wasn’t for us. It was almost fun, but not quite. Definitely glad we didn’t shell out for the early access.

“market reaction suggests that more capital isn’t going to be a viable substitute for a business model anymore.”

Time to find the next vague thing that investors can pour trillions into without really knowing what it is or does.

I’m doing my part!

The cheapest foods are the worst for you, unfortunately.

We still have an Xbox One, and last year was really the first year that games were no longer available for that console. We ended up getting those games on steam and got a 2nd steam deck during the sale. I think we’ll wait a few more years to see how prices keep changing. Also want to see how the Steam Machine does, although I’m sure it’ll be expensive compared to a console.

Episode 3 was peak awesomeness.

They have shenanned! If we don’t do something, they will shenanagain!

That’s a bummer, she was having a good run

ATP! Around the post. Still looking for my first one.

Galactic Glitch. It’s a fun space shooter roguelite. I played the demo a few years ago during a steam fest, and just picked it up for next to nothing in the last sale. Neon graphics and electronic beats. Definitely worth it.

How do you know if someone’s insecure about vegans?

Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.

That’s how I’m showing up to my next pickleball game.

I like it 🤷.

The characters are pretty likeable. There is some intentional silliness, and I’m totally OK with that.

I hear it’s really taking off
