I have continued my Kenshi antics, killing slavers and freeing everyone. I have most of the UC slave farms down now and finally finished my “I got the Phoenix” world tour and handed him to the Shek.
Also bashed through a lot of Jump Space with friends. 4p co-op mission-based PvE space FPS, think Deep Rock on a ship. Love it. Incredible pacing, honest. Could use some player progression, but I’m assuming that’s just the early-access-ness. If this is all that ever comes of it, I’ll still have gotten my money’s worth and would just think of it as a bit repetitive on the content. But fun as hell.
Tried Arc Raiders. Absolutely furious about it. Gamers suck. Thought this could be a learning moment for them since all meaningful loot comes from not-other-players, so the PvPvE should really lead to mostly PvE play and freeform team-ups, but gamers are gamers and deserve the gulag. It’s just another Tarkov; most players are pieces of shit. (Note: I have not gotten good, but the moral judgement stands.)
I’ve gotten back with my toxic situationship (I’ve started playing eve online again)
In the deepest depths of my EVE addiction I had taken my computer to my living room and hooked it up to my big TV so I could multibox better
I did that playing Rimworld once. And then I got a mod to deal with the colonist bar issue that led to that choice.
I started learning a new keyboard layout, so I haven’t been playing much, but I started playing Gunfire Reborn with my brother and damn, this game good. It’s a Chinese FPS furry roguelike, and it’s very adiccting. The translation is not the best but is good enough most of the time.
Other than that, I want to finish Hollow Knight. I’m currently stuck on the 4th pantheon. And also want to go back and finish FF7 Remake, iirc I’m on chapter 12 or 13.
First time I’ve seen Gunfire mentioned in the wild. I love that game, it’s fantastic with friends
Hell yeag! Even solo it is pretty fun, but I’ve been having a blast playing with my brother. I wish there was more content online about it, I only really found one of two videos about the game, maybe it is just much more popular in China then outside.
Since we’re here: you should know that the elemental effects combine. It’s not explained well inside the game, but if you put 2 status effects on an enemy it consumes them both to create a different one.
Electrocute + corrosive = poison (deals a % of max hp per tick, can stack; if you hit an enemy with something that rapidly applies electric damage with elemental chance while they’re on a corrosive area, like the Crown Prince Gas Grenade, it will destroy their hp bar very fast)
Electrocute + fire = explosion (good for dealing with many enemies at once ofc)
Fire + corrosive = charm (a lot of games have this kind of effect, in Gunfire Reborn it has a bit more strength due to the really strangely long duration)
Some occult scrolls give you 100% chance to inflict the elemental effects. For example after switching weapons. If you get this, it can be disgustingly powerful with a shotgun or SMG while the enemy is continuously being applied with another element. It will create a stack of the debuff for each hit.
The vaults on each level can contain more than one reward. The ones where it’s just a parkour challenge or the boulder traps always have 2 chests, you just have to look for the second one after you reach the end.
Thanks for the tips! I saw that there were elemental combos, but didn’t took a look into what combos into what, mostly I have been using the charm combo. For the parkour sections I was confused on how to reach the second chest, so it’s good to know I have to look around after reaching the end.
If you play the hawk hero the parkour stuff is a lot easier to find and do. On the 2nd and 3rd floors (not sure about 4th because I’m kinda rusty and haven’t made it to the 4th floor in a while) the 2nd chest from the parkour vaults has a time challenge element that begins as soon as you enter the area, so you’ll know roughly where you need to go.
Of all the Chinese games I’ve played, Gunfire Reborn has by far the best translation.
Yeah it’s good, I think people are confusing obtuse ability description -> bad translation, I’m sure the owl’s heart of the cards gambling paragraph is just as hard to parse in the original writing
Only problem I’ve had is I started playing the new season and the main seasonal mechanic tooltip was in chinese and I was like “damn alright then lmao”
I think it was patched literally like three hours after the update so I was just early
Oh, really? Maybe it’s just the portuguese translation that is a bit weird and inconsistent at times. Some stuff that don’t get translated to portuguese, like the word “stacks” for example, is translated, so it took me a while to understand it was talking about staking effects.
Gunfire is neat, I especially like the owl who plays a TCG at the same time as shooting people. Some of the difficulty stuff is wonky, and once you discover some of the wombo combos runs tend to get samey, but still good fun.
Cool! I haven’t purchased any of the DLC yet, but I want to, specially since it’s still on sale. So far I have been liking Tao and Lei Luo a lot.
Gone back to tf2. I honestly have no idea why I didn’t play soldier more. Is demoknight based or cringe, I’m thinking about going back to stickies
Demoknight is incredibly more based than the fucking stickies. fuck the stickies and their 0,5s time to prime
demoknight tf2
I had a lot of fun with Dragon’s Dogma 2 this weekend, and safe to say, I suck at it, but I’m enjoying the clunkiness the game has. Beautiful designs, overly chatty characters and boss fights with up to 5 healthbars so far have not deterred me. It’s hell but it’s fun
I was playing a lot of Hades II, working on clearing the Night’s Champion challenge, but a new patch came out the other day that added new events leading up to and after the True Ending, and it kind of killed my motivation to keep playing tbh. I don’t really want to go back and redo the story for the stuff I missed, but I don’t want to just keep playing and never see it either… So I think I’m just gonna stop playing for a while and start over whenever I feel like it.
Otherwise I’ve been playing Wind Waker mostly. I also started Z.H.P. Unlosing Ranger vs. Darkdeath Evilman this morning, it’s a very silly Shiren the Wanderer style roguelike that’s inspired by tokusatsu. I’m enjoying it so far but I haven’t played much yet, I’m still in the tutorial dungeon.
Hades I is the only game I have had this experience (Devs adding more and well executed content) where it made me stop playing for about a year.
Yeah… Like I appreciate that they are willing to keep working on and improving their game, and I still enjoyed it plenty up to this point, but it is kinda frustrating to wait like a year and a half for the game’s 1.0 release only for them to change things a month after the fact. Kinda makes me wish they had just kept it in early access for longer.
Yeah, completely relatable. I put this one down while I was still excited about it just to not have this experience.
I keep restarting in WR:SR. Trying a map of Cuba I grabbed from the Steam Workshop this time. Without the need to worry about heat plants, a lot of opportunities open up. I skipped the indoor pool to build a soccer field for once.
Accidentally had about 70 people move in early, but I was able to manage water/sewage by truck until the plumbing was finished.
what is wr:sr and how can i play cuba
Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic, the infamously difficult city builder themed after the eastern bloc countries.
There are a few maps on the steam workshop where you can build in a Cuban map instead of eastern europe, though you’d probably have to grab several dozen other mods to add more Cuba-specific assets.

You could do that, and they do exist, but I’m just plopping down Khrushchevkas in the Caribbean.
Arc Raiders. It’s so good I haven’t enjoyed a game this much in years
I’ve been playing it a lot too, and I’ve been surprised by how friendly everyone has been. During the server slam, it felt like everyone was out for blood.
More KSP, always more KSP.
Running KSP through proton is not only more stable than native Linux KSP, it’s also more stable than native Windows KSP.
I also played a little FF7R, after struggling to get my 8bitdo controller to actually be recognized by the game. What eventually worked was pointing steam at the exe that I installed through Lutris so the steaminput could figure it out.
WoD as GM’d by one of my regular players. He did a damn sight better than I did when I tried running a WoD adventure but then again I had only been playing TTRPGs for a year at that point.
Otherwise I’ve been screwing around with Emulators
still going through BG3 with my partner and brothers, but that’s been on hold for a week while a few of us are out of town. Jumped back into helldivers 2 for a bit, and having a ton of fun. performance is still janky, but better than it was, and i’m having more fun killing bots than I ever had before. aside from getting stunlocked into a ragdoll loop on occasion.
i tried bf6 “redsec” or whatever the fuck its called and really it just makes me want to play bf6 more, but i’m not at a point where i can drop $70 on a game that i won’t adore as much as i want to.
Also running through The Quarry for the first time with my partner. We finished chapter 1 and maybe even chapter 2? i’m digging it!
As an old, Jump Space really is like playing Deep Rock while lightly scratching the X-Wing itch. I need more.
rock and stone
rock and stone
wish more games had a dedicated catchphrase button like Deep Rock ⛏️🎅
I played a bit of the demo during the Steam Nextfest, it was really fun. I appreciate that it also has the run and gun segments alongside the ship combat, it makes it feel more well rounded compared to similar games like Void Crew
Fixed my linux partition for dual booting. Tried to start a few steam games, nothing worked.
What did you try?
I appreciate your willingness to help but currently I’m venting not looking for tech support.
Not at that stage of grief yet.
Whenever you do feel like messing with it, maybe try the steam flatpak if you’re using the main linux client. For some reason I had that same problem with native steam.
Also maybe just restart the PC, sometimes steam just straight up won’t launch any game and I restart and now it will.
Oof
And apparently I wrecked my Windows bootloader in the process.
I won’t give advice per your request but there are lots of troubleshooting guides when you’re ready to try them.
Partner and I started playing Code Vein, shit slaps
Im still playing the guantlet mode on age of mythology, i unlocked gargarencis nad in my current run i got some really good blessings for cavalry, so i have been using Nuwa instead of loki.
I got like plus 60% cavalry hp and 40% lifesteal so my tiger cavalry doesnt die, i won 2 deathmatch be spamming so much cav my enemies ran out of resources and died.
Its been pretty fun
haven’t played too much, but I played the first like hour of The Lonesome Guild, nothing groundbreaking so far (ARPG with persona-esque campfire scenes) but it’s fun and cute, and it scratches that PMD itch narrative/graphics wise with royalty free furries
