VP's ARMA 3 1.76 beta now out, compatible with Windows for now
14 Nov 2017 at 1:23 pm UTC

Since I already own the game and my Windows friends set their games to the legacyports version, I'm just happy to get our games patched up. :) The only problem I have is the game wants more than my 8 GB of RAM, so I have to make sure my swap is on... and the game doesn't gracefully switch to using swap when it needs it.

Quoting: sub

Nintendo Switch?
I forgot the Switch existed.

I'm kind of interested in this one. I haven't invested much money into open-ended games because I like to finish them. It's true that Sim City was one of my first time sinks of PC gaming, but that was also when I didn't have any selection. I played it on a friend's computer.

HOTS is much more casual for comparison

They'd have to remove gold and the shop completely
Give the team a shared XP bar
Remove the inventory
And actually add more than one map :D
Yeah, how about they don't do that. Not every game needs to be the same thing.

The next three major Steam sale dates have been leaked

I kinda wish there was just one annual Steam sale. Man, when that first one landed years ago during a winter that I was trapped in another State due to a snow storm, it was amazing! I was so pumped! I spent over $100 on that sale. But now, there have been so many sales that I have a pile of games I've never played. I'm not very excited to get new games, even if they're brand new, because I don't know when I'd even play them. I'm just now playing through The Witcher 3 for the first time since buying it on Black Friday last year.

I run a few Docker instances for my kids to play on that I occasionally play on myself. Some friends of mine also recently dug out an old world from years ago that I threw up on a server to reminisce a bit. In short, I'm happy to see an update coming.
