Today's game is Cult of the Lamb. I'd like to apologize to this game, as when i first saw it, I wrote it off as just being a "Here's a cute thing + satanism" kind of game. I don't mean it as a bad thing or some sort of jab to say "this thing bad", but it is not my personal taste. I decided to give it a try though after having a friend convince me to, and i have to admit that the game play is really fun. And the art style, the Lamb is adorable. I do wish there was more depth to them, though i wonder if it was something the developers intended for the Lamb to just seem like a Vessel of the Player's will.

There's the Cult Building section, which reminds me of Fire Emblem Fates, which had a similar section where you build your Army's camp, mixed with a little bit of Grave Yard Keeper (which i need to finish now that i think about it).

The combat though is really where i'm surprised. I, personally, am not a fan of Roguelikes. It's not that i think they're bad, just personally they are not for me. This one in particular though i find myself really enjoying. I'm not sure why, maybe because it's not difficult, or because of how it affects the building segment, but I find myself enjoying. I personally like stacking a poison buff on top of a powerful weapon, and taking a swing at everything to poison them.

I got as far as the first boss today, so something tells me this won't be a long game at all, though, then again it does have 50 Achievements, so it may be far longer, we'll see though.

looks too much like apex legends imo

Today's game is some more Halo. I came home from the showing of Return of The King i mentioned yesterday, having gone with friends this time. During the movie, one of them leaned over and whispered to me "this makes me want to play Halo". It's funny to me i wasn't alone in that thought. Anyways, so we made plans for some PvP.

Our first match was Halo 2 One Flag. Absolutely one of the worst matches i ever had the pleasure of playing. I'm not one to complain when other players are more skilled, but this was at a horrendous level. Within the first 10 seconds i got taken out by a grenade lobbed from the other side of the map, and then any other time i spawned in i would get sniped within 5 seconds by a player who had taken control of the Sniper Rifle. Absolutely miserable.

We turned off CTF after that and it was far better. we were pretty evenly matched for most our games. We got a Reach slayer game which we won by about 5 points. I ended up grabbing a shotgun and protecting the sniper though because the enemy team kept making a beeline for ours for some reason.

After that we got headhunters which was a blast. We dominated for the first half but then the enemies got in a groove and caught up. We still won, but it was by a measly 8 points. I don't remember who i played this match against but it was a blast playing against them.

And then finally there were two Halo 2 games back to back with the same enemy team which i also had a blast on. We won the first one but the enemy won the second. During the second one we kept fighting for control over the sniper at the top of the room and that kind of kept us occupied until someone found the energy sword and we got into a scuffle over that. They won by 1 point. It was really neck in neck which was fun.

We had to stop after that as one of our players was exhausted, but it was fun playing PvP and only getting our shit kicked in by other players once. Limiting it to just regular Slayer helps, along with Action Sack, but it does suck we have to avoid other modes of we don't want to get matched against players way out of our league.

Is there a mod (preferred if available on Steam modbase) to use the ring's power from "The Bright Lord" DLC in the main story? (Shadow of Mordor)

In this update, I've made several improvements and additions

• I changed the design of the blue diamond score bar.

• I added 2 new cards, a meteor that passes through the ROOM and a card that adds "Add Timer" which increases the game time

• The aliens are colliding with solid objects

• The monsters and aliens leave trails of green slime

• Improvements to the organization of the game's main menu

• New conquest menu to see your full potential

Entertainment, these were the latest updates for this simple game.

Today's game is Halo CE. I just got back from a showing of The Two Towers Extended Edition, and for some reason that left me with an urge to play CE. So that's what i did. I at first decided to just try for par time on some CE levels i'm missing them on. It went well for the one i attempted but i eventually got stuck a little and missed time by a minute.

So instead i decided to see how i fare on legendary solo. I've made a lot of growth since i first played legendary. I believe Pillar of Autumn took maybe an hour to do Co-Op Legendary? This took me around 25 minutes.

I got stuck once and it was in a room with some stairs and 4 doors with a bunch of elites. I ended up opting too sprint past and Sgt. Johnson made it past with me. I like the Ally AI in these games because they don't feel to obstructive (usually) and they feel like they have a lot of depth with their banter.

I ended up having to part ways with the Sgt. for now and made my way through the rest of the level to the escape pod. With the trusty noob combo though i made it through pretty fast. I only died one other time near the escape pods.

I stopped to configure my resolution just to mess with it, and got this screenshot at 640x480 but then it crashed. It was late anyways and i have a showing of Return of The King extended edition to catch tomorrow anyways, so it worked out well for me. On the upside i got an achievement i needed which brought me from 75% of all Achievements in the MCC too 76%. Which is a step closer to my goal. Hopefully i reach 80% soon.

For the past couple of weeks, some of us moderators of the subreddit r/Silksong, have been working on an exciting project. We’ve created a lemmy instance for fans of indie games.

Today's game is Star Wars Republic Commando. I've been in a bit of a slump recently now that i've suddenly been given more free time and been at a loss as to what to do. I'm not really feeling up for anything in my On Hold shelf, and i've played so much Halo i think my friends might puke if i ask them to play more with me. So i just decided to follow my Steam Play Next Suggestion and play this which was first (After removing all the Free Online games i'm not really interested in getting invested in right now).

I was expecting something similar to Halo (ironic, i know), but to be honest it controls more like what i'd assume metroid prime controls like. I say assume because i've never touched Metroid prime before.

I like the squad mechanic. It's fun to give them orders, though i can't say i feel as if they're very fleshed out. Maybe that will change, i'm not sure as i stopped after getting on the elevator. I like how they're all fairly distinct though and have unique roles.

The game overall is fun, though i'm not sure if it's scratching the itch i have. I'm sure something will come to me, it always does, but i want to keep trying this. It doesn't strike me as a particularly long game, or hard. But i am having fun with it.

TL;DR: The new Fable game removes the traditional good and evil morality system, focusing instead on a location-based reputation that changes with each settlement. Players won't alter their appearance based on deeds but can customize their hero's look with cosmetics and gear.

Today is some more Halo. I've been holding off on PvP lately because my Network card has an issue where the signal just shits itself and dies every few minutes. So it really kills PvP's momentum. We decided to just power through though and went for some social games. We obviously lost, but we did have a fun time.

We got Capture the flag on one, and while the enemy team was harassing mine, i got a spawn right next to the flag. So i just... grabbed it and ran off with it. I just kind of spent 3 minutes wandering around with the flag.

I only ran into someone else once and i got a lucky shot with the sniper and killed them after fumbling with it. I picked up the flag again and continued wandering around until i made my way back to base.

We did some private games after that, and we picked a map on Halo 3 that i can't remember what it's called, but it was small and really fucking purple. I really liked slayer on this one with 4 people because it was small enough it felt like you could always find someone to fight. A few maps i always feel like i can't find anyone, which, for a PvP game, isn't great. So this was fun.

I also did some Halo 2 for myself. I wanted a challenge so i drove a Ghost up onto the Scarab for fun. I thought it'd be a fun challenge. Obviously they didn't intend for one to be up there though as i was glitching out like crazy on the Scarab and ended up getting crushed between it and the bridge a few times. I eventually got it though and that was fun.

That's honestly something i like about these games, you can come up with stupid bullshit challenges like this and the game just lets you. If you can get a Ghost up there, for the most part, the game shrugs and just lets you carry on. It's awesome.

I recently finished playing The Outer Worlds 2 and it was pretty good. The big problem I have with both games is that the game mechanics feel a little shallow. Despite that I'm hoping there will be another game in the series.

Another in the seemingly unending march of me-interviewing-developers-from-different-programs/projects/games-etc has arrived. This time I've chatted to the team behind Spruce/Sprig (a pair of Linux-based operating systems designed specifically for retro handhelds) to get their story.

Interestingly they felt a little hesitant at first, before I got to know them. They've had some bad experiences before with YouTubers covering their work and painting them in a bad light.

Which I can't fathom for the life of me.

Anyway, I chatted to eight members of the developer team and asked them all about the origins of making these, how its like to maintain it, and what they think the future will bring (both for Spruce/Sprig and for the Linux handheld scene in general).

One warning, it is a LONG article this time. Over 10K words. Originally I was going to pick and choose quotes and write this as a narrative piece, but...I just felt like these devs deserve to tell their own stories their own way.

If you're into handhelds, Linux, dev work or gaming, you might find this interesting. The link is right here. And just to make sure you know (since I've had weird nasty messages about this before), there's no ads on this site and I'm not paid to write these. I just think its fun!
