So we just post random political shit on here non stop now? Some people are being idiots. Wow, so uplifting. Humanity is in such a better place now.

😁

You can turn on wake on LAN. Then to unlock it, use the button on the right with the 3 dots and choose the option to bring up the keyboard, so that you can enter your pin or password.

One issue is with video freezing. The sound will keep going, but the video is stuck and the only thing I can do is kill and restart the game.

The other issue is with my lock screen. It’s very hit or miss if I can unlock it from the deck, and sometimes it then picks the wrong monitor to display the game on. Since my 2nd monitor is vertical, that creates a mess of a vertical stream with the game half cut off, and half an empty desktop displaying.

Oblivion Remastered. Playing via Remote Play, which has given me a decent amount of issues, but when it’s working, it’s great. The game looks gorgeous and has been a ton of fun to play, although I’m having a surprisingly hard time finding side quests. I seem to remember there being more than one or two per town. But whatever, I can always go find a cave, be stealthy and snipe things.

It feels really good.

It’s kind of crazy how well this 20 year old game is designed. Each NPC has a life. Each house is a real house, and not just a closed box for background setting.

The gameplay feels so good that it’s a bit startling when things are buggy, or just not as modern. Like when you have a fetch quest, but you already have the item: there’s no option to say: here it is! You have to literally walk away to trigger something in the quest engine, and then come back to deliver the item.

Also, the way enemies are not at all aware of each other stands out: 2 bandits standing next to each other. I snipe one of them, and the other doesn’t even react. Must have been the wind…

But overall I’m loving it.

Oh no, their profit was only $400M. Whatever will they do???

Schadenfreude is the lowest form of uplifting.

Driving to tracks is 100% a chore. It’s made me not enjoy any new racing game in the last 5 years. I really hope this game has an option to skip that and jump right into a race. I don’t look forward to wrangling my family to drive to the same track just to start a race. I’m sure at least one of my kids would drive in the opposite direction because they think it’s funny.

Thanks for your reply. My post was meant as kind of a joke, but it’s good to know the mods actually read through things.

This isn’t a shower thought. Mods, please remove.

I still don’t use gog much. Last game I got there was free through Amazon prime, I think. It was Lego star wars episode 1, and while I usually really enjoy the Lego games, controller support was totally busted, so I ended up not giving it much time. 🙁

Having just played Veilguard and Origins back to back, that’s a hard disagree from me. The voice acting in Veilguard was top notch. 🤷

I don’t really see it being a sandbox. I mean, all answers are given, and you select from those choices. That’s the same as other games that have pc vo. I feel like it would have made more sense to have no voice options at all, and to just get rid of the ridiculous quips. That way, you create your own voice in your head. In no universe would the character I created complain about having to put her hands onto everything before opening a door.

Anyway, not a big deal, but like I said, it was a bit jarring.

All the dragon Age games, really.

One thing I find jarring about BG3 is the lack of vo for the player character. It seems like a weird omission in this day and age. (Not counting the dumb ‘I clicked here, so my player has to say something’ vo. Like, shut the fuck up with your dumb chess references, Gale!)

I mean, that’s just common sense

Specifically Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle. The sequel was a massive disappointment.

Solasta Crown of the Magister for $8.99.

For me it’s the best game ever to capture the D&D feeling. The custom Warlock subclass, Timekeeper, is ridiculously fun.

People don’t accept that, perhaps, something isn’t just “not for them”

I think this is my favorite comment on this whole thread.

Played the Solasta 2 demo, and still playing Dragon Age Inquisition
