Slipstreams is crazy addictive.

Don't be fooled it's 100% a puzzle game with sci-fi empire building as a theme and not at all a strategy game. But it is smart and the theme is applied well.  Have spent like 10 hours in 3 days on it trying to become better. The maps are random and after 3 run-throughs you get random elements like different scoring methods (mining focus) or ones that influence the map (more desert planets etc). These you see before starting and can just re-randomise, or turn them off altogether, however. They affect the score you get at the end, as well.

Overall, a really nice game.

D&D Dark Alliance seems to not be very good: https://youtu.be/jIEOF-Aa1Rk

A pity, I quite enjoyed the PS2 originals. Mindless fun ARPGs.

If you watch the video it's quite broken. Maybe it can be patched, but the release state is pretty bad.

[celedhring]

I watched the video, even if they patched the bugs there doesn't seem to be much of a game there? Linearish levels, not much diversity in enemies (at least in the video), 3 abilities per character...

I've given AC: Origins another shot, and I'm into it now. I made it to Alexandria, and damn, this might be one of the finest in game ciities I've seen. I feel like a tourist with all the pictures I'm taking.

And I love the details - the mathematicians in the library, the theater that has a play about Cleopatra getting Caesar to kick out her brother, etc.

Since I believe that Germans can be trusted unconditionally, I have purchased this in the Steam Summer Sale.

Do you get to bang anyone?  I like the free games on Steam where you can do that.

I don't think we would want a grown-up Cal.

The thought is terrifying.

I recently started up Fallout 4 and wanted to try some mods.  Christ, how many nude mods does someone need?  I also founded a mod that changes the "idiot savant" perk to "idiot slut".  What the fuck is wrong people?

Quite a lot, evidently.

[grumbler]

I think you only need one body mod for males and one for females.  The ones that randomize bodies using different mods don't appear to work very well.

Nude mods are always in the first ones to be released for nearly any game, and quite often the most downloaded mods.  But sure, gamers are mature people
