I don't usually take advantage of play-for-free offers, but I've had my eye on this for a while so why not.

Quoting: demencia89What's the mmo from 0:36?

Based on the fonts alone it looks like FF XIV.

Quoting: dubigrasuI wrote a snarky comment, but I changed my mind and deleted it. Actually I'd like to see a "hands -on" review of this, from some independent reviewer.
People liked (and some still do) to mock the Steam Controller touch-pads, as useless, not-usable/etc, but after using them for years I think they're best thing for a controller to have.
So yeah, I'm curious.

Having used the Steam Controller and loving it otherwise, I'd have to agree. And I think I've figured out the fatal flaw with the touch pad -- it's way too big.

If it were a smaller pad that did essentially the same thing, maybe covering half the size, it would be much more useful. One of the biggest problems I have with it is how far I have to move my thumb to get around on it, and I don't have small hands.

Otherwise, it was honestly a great piece of kit.

Quoting: ArtenBitcoin alredy established as legitimate curency. It's legal tender in El Salvador. Another country reportedly make it legal tender this year.

Yeah, I heard about the El Salvador thing. So . . . does anyone actually use it as legal tender? Go into the supermarket and pay with crypto? Lay a smidgen of a bitcoin on a street vendor for some tacos?
A loopy president can declare anything he wants. Doesn't make the problems with trying to use Bitcoin for normal transactions disappear.

As I understand it, the crypto thing in El Salvador hasn't exactly been running smoothly [External Link]. Which seems to be par for the course, to be honest.

This doesn't surprise me, since there are likely a lot of two-bit con artists looking to use them as a host for their knockoff NFT "games".

I saw it put well recently: "What you'll be seeing for the next period of time is very desperate promotion of NFTs and Crypto to wider and wider audiences, because now it's a race: Finding marks before the marks hear that NFTs and Crypto are scammed up garbage selling bridges and swamp land as get-rich."

I haven't played for a while, so I'll probably start from scratch too.

Quoting: furaxhornyxIf you survive for 30 min in a zone, you win and then another zone is discovered.

Ah, my mistake there. 30 minutes to a run (not counting when you open chests and level up), not 20.

Quoting: Purple Library GuySo the title is "Vampire Survivors". So, are you a vampire trying to survive a zombie apocalypse, or just a person trying to survive vampires?

The latter. Basically think if Castlevania was a twin-stick shooter.

It gets very silly towards the last five minutes or so (runs are max 20 minutes long, then you die).

Wow, the browser version really doesn't work for me. Incredibly slow and I can only attack in two directions. No real indication of how the controls work.

Oh! I was watching someone play that last week, it looks like an absolute blast.

I heard they added new evolutions recently, so it'd be a great time to get on board if a port comes out.
