QuoteGAMIFICATION OF HEALTH AWARENESS BASED ON A WAKE-UP TIME

An object is to provide a user with motivation to enjoy waking up in the morning and guide the user to sufficient awakening by generating a breeding event in a breeding game of a virtual life form when the user wakes up in the morning.

CN: lewd, making the obvious joke
Spoiler, click me
I think a different kind of breeding would provide far better motivation to enjoy waking up in the morning

I'm sorry.

I don't think they can patent that.

There's a joke here about Japan's present population crisis and big N's absurd legal team patenting intercourse, but I can't find it. I need my coffee!
29 games are getting delisted from GOG

Quoting: dziadulewiczMaybe one day they start consider potential Linux customers first class customers and release the official client. Never bought anything from GOG during all these years because obviously they don't need our monys. And there is always Collection Chamber.

This is my feeling toward them as well. If they can't even release a linux client after ALL this time, they clearly don't care about us at all.

Quoting: Mountain Man$170 seems pretty steep considering you can buy a low-end laptop for that price.

Absolutely zero $170 laptops on earth are worth paying $170 for. This is at least worth the cash if you use it for the purpose of turning the steam deck or other handheld (maybe android phones?) into a proper computer.

Quoting: JarmerAt first I was having an absolutely wonderful time in bg3 but then the ending happened ...
I haven't played this game myself, but I think there are more than a hundred possible endings, plus minor ones... Was it just yours, or would it end in a similar way had you made different choices? (I've read your spoiler tag).

There were thousands (tens of / hundreds of?) of posts across the larian and steam message boards with people saying the exact same things I was. There were so many furious fans, Swen (head of larian studios) actually even came out and addressed some updates.

For my specific case, it was a combination of

1) no writing / completely unfinished sections of the game
2) not accounting for the player choosing certain combinations of main character and love interest

Both of those are unforgivable for a released game they charge a premium full price for, and then trick the player into thinking anything they do will actually make any difference at all.

They have done lots of updates since I played it, so I have no idea if these were addressed or not. I will never open the game again. Most likely won't ever play anything by Larian ever again.

this game was SUCH an emotional rollercoaster for me. Normally I love Larian, but after completing this I HATED them. Really left me never wanting to play anything by them ever again. And I've played and loved almost all their prior games.

At first I was having an absolutely wonderful time in bg3 but then the ending happened ...

Spoiler, click me
and I guess they had released the game without actually writing or completing a lot of the characters ending ... like at all. The majority of my party members had no ending whatsoever, absolutely nothing at all. And the ones that were were downright rage inducing. One of my characters was forced to die with no option to do anything else, and another ran off to live in a cave with no option to do anything else. I had grown so fond of all my characters and had spent a LOT of time doing very specific quests and getting very specific outcomes to prep for the ending and how they would act and what results they would get. Then all of that never mattered one iota and it all gets thrown away and they are forced to die and run away, or do nothing at all. It was WITHOUT DOUBT the worst ending to any game I have ever played in my entire life. Seriously so bad I don't know if I can ever trust them again.

I think this would be a great game for the deck. Turn your brain off and go zap about a billion monsters, get that dopamine rush and sign off.

Quoting: jgacasJust bought Everspace 2 which is at its historically lowest price at 19.99 EUR!

Awesome game! I haven't played it since they migrated to ue5 and made some balance changes, but I had a blast with it shortly after it came out. It's absolutely GORGEOUS. Sometimes I'd just like flying around and not even doing much of anything.

Quoting: melkemindIt reminds me of The Ascent, which I ended up refunding even though I liked the atmosphere and story. The combat killed it for me.

Yes you're right, it really does. Especially those red lasers and isometric combat style. I too bought and refunded The Ascent, for me the combat was pretty bad, but the mapping system totally killed it for me. I could never figure out where to go, and often the directions would point me to areas WAY above my level where I'd get instakilled.

Quoteone Shadowrun fans might like to take a look at

I did really enjoy the Shadowrun games even though I don't generally get on with RPGs.
So did I. But this doesn't look turn-based. Cool and atmospheric and all, but I'm kind of crap at combat games so this is probably not for me.

Yeah I went through a small roller-coaster of expectations. "Oh no they are making an RPG this time, but wait their Shadowrun RPGs were these great tactical games, oh no the end of the trailer suggests it is not even turn-based".

ha! Same exact here. Maybe just maybe it could be real-time-with-pause and also have a turn based mode similar to PoE2? Because like you all, I SUCK so hard at real time twitch action combat games. I will probably get it no matter what just to support this wonderful dev, but I do REALLY hope real time action isn't the only mode of combat.

A game I have had wishlisted for forever just released to 1.0 just in time for this fest! I highly recommend you try it out if you're a fan of the genre.
