  More Windblown. I finished the game a few more times on the lowest difficulty, then moved up to the next. I have made it to the final area and boss a bunch of times, but not beat it yet.

  Then, some more Disco Elysium. I’m on Day 3 now and started exploring the area that opened up. I think I’m doing things very similar to my first playthrough, but already found a few things I missed before. From my first playthrough, I remembered your partner Kim commenting on you running everywhere, so I deliberately walked everywhere on the first day. Sadly, he says the same thing and doesn’t take into account that you just walk, so now it’s back to jogging. Hope you like the workout, Kim!

  Also, some World of Warcraft. Did very little this week, just some of the weekly quest to buy the last stuff I wanted. I still wanna do some achievements, but I’m too lazy. Maybe over the holidays.

  They just find pesky bugs, that need to be fixed. No bugs, no need to fix stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What MMORPG are you playing, and why?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Re-subbed to WoW for a month, for the huge 20th Anniversary Event. Since I’ve played so much earlier in the year (another event and expansion launch), I’m not interested in continuing after the sub runs out. There are a few more achievements I’ll finish, but otherwise I’m kinda done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your Game of the Year?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  While Disco Elysium is like no other CRPOG I’ve played, I have to disagree with your other point, because Indies exist with tons of innovative stuff in there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your Game of the Year?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m re-playing it right now, and it’s great.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your Game of the Year?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not on Steam it’s World of Warcraft, specifically the MoP Remix mode. That was some of the most fun I ever had in the game.

  On Steam maybe Lies of P, but honestly I didn’t really play any GotY material this year on there.

  As a certified Trails hater, I hope they make some major changes to the story, so it might be actually good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do You think about level scaling in cRPGs?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The only one I know that might fit the bill is Pillars 1. When you’ve done a lot of the side content, you’ll be overleveled, and in the final act the game asks you if enemies should get scaled to your level, so there’s still a challenge. But that’s still optional and you’re not forced to do it.

  NVIDIA bad and all that, but people are running the overlay, Shadowplay, filters, and whatnot and are shocked, that their performance is lower.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of December 15th⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A bit more World of Warcraft*. I got most of the anniversary items I want, now I’ll do some more achievements.

  Then I started Windblown, the next game from the Dead Cells devs. I guess it’s coop, isometric Dead Cells. It’s very fun, but I feel harder than Dead Cells. I finished my first run today, and the end was pretty nerve wracking. As for the coop part, that seems pretty dead right now. The game’s in Early Access, so that doesn’t help, but I only ever a saw a single open lobby. I might check it out a bit more, now that I have won once.

  Then I was about to re-play Disco Elysium, but got sick again, and was in no mood for any story games (which I why I started Windblown). Maybe this week, maybe next, but definitely this year.

  Also, pretty good timing with me re-playing FF7R last week, since Rebirth is coming to PC end of January. I’m really looking forward to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Last of Us Part II Remastered PC Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m waiting for the remaster, that combines both games into one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solasta: Crown of the Magister is getting a sequel starring Baldur's Gate 3's narrator⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Neat, just played through the Palace of Ice DLC of the first game and look forward to more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is heading to PC in January, a year after its console launch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m really looking forward to this. Also, just in time, since I re-played the first one last week.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of December 8th⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ori and the Blind Forest which I enjoyed, although I was expecting a metroidvania

  What genre do you think the game belongs to? Just a normal platformer?

  I would say, while combat is not the focus in the game, it still has all the trappings of a metroidvania.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of December 8th⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Both are great games, but I was too much of a brainlet to find some of the later stuff myself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of December 8th⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was almost done with it last week, but I finished Baldur’s Gate - Siege of Dragonspear DLC. It’s terrible. The story is trash, especially the second half, and all characters, your party included, lose the ability to put two and two together. I haven’t played BG2 and don’t know if I ever will, but I can’t imagine this DLC is adding anything to the overall story.

  Then I played through Final Fantasy VII Remake again. I definitely thought the game was shorter, mainly because I forgot about all the terrible moments. I still like the game, but there are a bunch of bosses and sequences that are cancer, and the game would be better if they were removed completely or at least much shorter. Hopefully it doesn’t take too much longer for Rebirth to make it to the PC.

  Finally, I re-subbed to World of Warcraft for a month. For the 20th Anniversary, there’s a huge 3-month event going on. It’s running for another month, and you can get a bunch of old or removed stuff again. I’ll just do some quests once or twice a week, so I can buy the stuff that I want.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG’s Game Preservation Program Gets Tested Early By Blizzard⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, that’s what I meant. I didn’t mean you could still buy them. Sorry, I probably should have clarified that in my first comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG’s Game Preservation Program Gets Tested Early By Blizzard⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it? Steam does it all the time. Afaik they only remove games, when they break some TOS stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG’s Game Preservation Program Gets Tested Early By Blizzard⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good for GOG, but I don’t think having games still available after they’re delisted is special. It would have been news if this didn’t happen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of December 1st⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I knew it was released later and that at least the Steam Reviews are only mixed. Still, I didn’t think it would be such a waste of time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of December 1st⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Baldur’s Gate 3* coop, we’re in Act 2. For some reason my friend started a fight, inside the throne room at Moonrise Towers, while surrounded by 20 enemies, half HP and no spells. We died, and because he hadn’t saved in an hour, we have to do some stuff again.

  Then I finished the Solasta: Crown of the Magister - Palace of Ice* DLC. It’s definitely the weakest campaign for me (base game and two DLC). The final dungeon was also pretty disappointing, but I liked the very final decision you had to do.

  Then I started the Baldurs Gate - Siege on Dragonspear DLC. I played the base game a year ago for the first time, and I think the game didn’t age well at all, and this DLC doesn’t improve things. I’m close to the end, but I really don’t like how it’s playing out right now, and I don’t care about the story at all.

  Nice, thanks for the info. It has a few games I’m interested in, so I’ll get it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate 3 getting new subclasses, cross-play, and more next year⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m in the middle of a coop playthrough and wanted to do another solo run, once no more new stuff is coming, but it seems that’s gonna take a while longer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Trump's Tariffs Could Cost Gamers Billions⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Companies will find a way to apply this also to the rest of the world, citing some bogus reasons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nothing yet, maybe the Vampire Survivors Castlevania DLC. Otherwise probably nothing and wait for the Winter Sale.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The in-game shop, definitely, but out-of-game promos, I don’t know. Most of the stuff is US or China exclusive anyway, so you don’t know about them outside those countries.

  I’d guess these kinds of promos are kind rare , and that’s the reason this one blew up so much. If WoW had something like this every few months, most people probably wouldn’t care anymore, and only those who want to collect everything will pay someone to get the codes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Like I said, what’s the difference? You had Coca Cola promotions in the past, when the game was still “pure,” according to some. Why couldn’t people with money hoard those TCG codes back in the day?
