Chronicon, mostly. It's fun, although so far not very challenging on Normal. I've been killed a grand total of once, after breezing through every boss in Act 1 without even looking at my health bar. But even so, running around just mowing down everything in my path can be pretty amusing.

Just tried it and...it's not grabbing me. Maybe I haven't played it enough to find the "fun" yet, or I'm just not in the right mindset, so I'll try again later.

I will say it does a very poor job of explaining how to sneak or use cover. I got through those parts of the tutorial and still don't know.

Looking up their platforms, I see Playstation and Xbox listed. Which means physical copies need to be manufactured, and this is kind of a bad time for non-critical manufacturing. Plus, I would imagine with the increasing number of people losing work that's potential sales that might be going out the window, especially if they're looking at a release when the US is expected to be hitting much higher numbers than they are now.

The Last of Us 2 is doing the same thing, except they've put release on hold indefinitely until things calm down.

I'm feeling a strong Enter the Gungeon riff in the level design, which they're handling in a much different fashion of course. I wonder if that Ancient Revolver the player picks up in the video is a callback of sorts.

Quoting: elgatilJust a quick math fun fact:

There are around 7000M people in the world, therefore with ~20M it means more or less the 0.3% of the world population is connected at the same time in Steam.

Wow

But what's the world population of CS:GO bots?

Amused to see how much of the music is from Touhou Project, a series of games that are...not available for Linux. :D

I was just thinking about this game today. People say it's fun, but it's really hard to get a feel for how the early game (which I'm likely to be playing the most of) is. There's a lot of attention given to the late game, but what I'd really like to know is if the earlier parts are fun, easy to get into, etc.

I had really, really high hopes for Maia. Back when I bought it in Early Access, it looked so promising and the style really appealed to me. It's a pity that it turned out to be an abandoned mess, not updated (or bugfixed) since late 2018. I'm still seeing reviews that talk about poor pathing, colonists not following the build queue, and people randomly dying of exhaustion because they're standing next to a bed for days without actually getting in it and sleeping.

Still, free is a good price.

Quoting: BotonoskiI feel kinda bad having all these interesting free games at my disposal that are absolutely deserving of my attention, but then ignoring them in favor of playing more Minesweeper.
No idea what the deal is with my recent Minesweeper addiction, it just makes me so angry that I can't help but constantly replay it.

Have you ever tried the Hexcells series? It's pretty much Minesweeper but better in every way.

Quoting: Avehicle7887

Quoting: NezchanMany thanks, although I'm getting a file not found error when I try to download.

Should work now, Link fixed.

Works perfectly. You're the hero we don't deserve.

Now I have to figure out why it's not recognizing my Steam Controller (I have SC Controller running so it should work) but does recognize my USB 360 controller when I plug that in.

EDIT: wtf? Steam controller almost works if I turn SC Controller off. Movement still doesn't work, but several of the buttons do, although they're mapped differently. This is all very strange.
