  • with mods other than just skyui for the first time this time

    Congrats, you are well on your way to becoming the type of person that spends 6 weeks making a skyrim modlist instead of playing the game, launching it for 15 minutes to make sure everything works, and then losing interest in the game after a day or two.

    I recently found out about a mod called Sentinel, and holy hell is it exactly what I needed to actually enjoy the cool looking but blatantly overpowered Creation Club armors.

    I used to play a lot of 7 Days, but they lost me when they started adding triggers in POIs that automatically alerted zombies, opened doors, etc. and TFP’s general bullshit after that.

    It’s soooo bad lol. I stopped playing around the same time, and I had almost 1,000 hours in the game. I get it, they needed a way to optimize performance, especially in large cities, and having the zombies hiding in air ducts unloaded until you trigger them is certainly a way to do it. But fuck is it immersion breaking and purely unfun. It doesn’t feel like a zombie apocalypse when I’m standing in a city blasting my gun and there’s like 4 zombies walking around to actually hear it.



  • Cassette Beasts took me about 40 hours to beat and close to 60 hours to fully 100% (though I did play on the hardest difficulty, which slows the game down A LOT). You’re just taking your time and that’s fine.

    I personally didn’t experience any crashes or incredibly long loading times… it ran just fine for me. What are you playing it on?




  • Not everybody knows you shouldn’t fill up your hard drive completely. If someone doesn’t explicitly mention it, its safer to assume they don’t know so that you don’t accidentally give them advice that harms their drive. And no, saying play space instead of space (especially when your title just says 20 gb left) does not count as explicitly mentioning it. You never mention having room to spare or even knowing the difference.

    It’s clear now that you probably do, so all you needed to do was say “don’t worry I know” or even just ignore the advice entirely. I don’t know why you’re being annoyed by people for not having the info you failed to provide them.


  • Are we talking about the original Life is Strange? The thumbnail shows the newest game, Reunion, but I’ll assume that’s their website being dumb and we’re talking about the original. I absolutely loved it when I played it years ago, and I loved the way it made me feel powerless when my powers suddenly didn’t work. Like with Kate… I didn’t pay attention to or help her the first time I played, and I eventually replayed the game just to change that. If you haven’t played chapter 5 yet, you’re in for a treat.

    I want to play through it again and 100% it at some point. Though to be honest, idk if that will ever happen, I suck at finishing new games let alone ones I already know the ending to. Maybe I’ll give the remastered version a shot or something. There’s several other games in the series, and aside from True Colors and Reunion, which I have not played, I enjoyed them all to some extent, though not as much as the original.





  • I think survival games are the type of game that are infinitely more fun with a friend or two to play along with. As long as said friends are the cooperative type and not the type that gets upset over having stuff taken from their chest. Being able to split up the grind and show off your accomplishments or frankly terrible builds to friends always makes them a lot more fun to play. They also just tend to be pretty laid back experiences usually despite their genre’s name, so it gives plenty of room to just chat as you do menial tasks like mine or build.


  • I mean don’t get me wrong, the stories don’t tend to be anything crazy, and they’re basically never the center of the game. Like, you’re not going to find a story on par with The Witcher 3 in an idle game. They’re usually just there to give a justification as to why you’re doing things, and in some games it’s pretty obvious that the gameplay was designed first and the story was more of an afterthought.

    I don’t mind that personally, I’ve never been one to seek out games just for their story.


  • Bit of an irrelevant metric if you’d ask me. Best-selling game of all time run by owner of both Windows and Xbox has bigger numbers than indie title, color me surprised. Considering Minecraft only has 5x as many sales as Terraria, I’d say Terraria is doing pretty well. Average player counts will obviously be comparatively lower because it’s a completely different genre.

    And to be clear I’m not arguing that Minecraft is unpopular or that it doesn’t allow for near unlimited creativity. It’s one of my favorite games. I was just naming a couple of other incredibly popular games like you asked.





  • Now to be fair to other survival games, 7 days to die is just a terribly made game imo. They’ve been consistently dumbing it down and straying further from a zombie apocalypse every update. Nowadays zombie dogs look more like wendigos, and for a while they had literal yetis and plague spitting mummies in the game until they got a lot of shit for it and had to retexture them into proper zombies. I’ve got 900 hours in the game and I just can’t touch it anymore, it’s no longer fun.




  • That’s a hard question. There’s tons of popular games I personally couldn’t stand but can still see the appeal of, like Baldurs Gate 3. But something I just can’t understand? I guess my best answer would be basically any purely PvP game.

    I get something like a hero shooter where there’s cooperation and team play involved. But I’ve never understood how people get more than 15 minutes of fun in games like multiplayer CoD.
