I don't think it's a LSD like trip. But you definitely go "WOOAHHH" a few times. It's well made and rather short.

Also (now also on PC): Monument Valley 1 & 2: https://www.monumentvalleygame.com/

I vote for Concord. I didn't buy it, I didn't play it. But seeing Sony fail so spectacularly was massively entertaining. GOTY material indeed.

Other than being a nostalgia-reference filled and well put together time waster it's not that special. It's very inoffensive and it runs well. Maybe that is enough for most people to indulge and enjoy.

I don't think it GOTY material but I don't hate it. It's certainly fun and has tons of cute details.

I am currently somewhat addicted to The X-Com Files. It's a mod for OpenXCom which in turn is a port of the original 1993 X-Com. It's fucking brilliant (and free).

Before that I played a campaign of Starsector. I also liked Gris and Dredge earlier.

I don't know which I despise more: sleazy ubi suits or the cockroaches that finance those ubi suits.

Fucking sucks that you can't just buy from a dev studio directly. So only indie games on GOG for me... Haven't had that much fun in quite a while. And no longer need to upgrade my PC.

Or from your phone with KDE connect.

A $379 PELADN HA-4 mini PC has 16GB DDR5 RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD a Ryzen 7 7840HS that easily beats a PS5 (it ties even a i9 11900K desktop in CPU benchmarks).

The APU on that thing runs most games on medium settings (like a PS5) at 60fps and the latest games as well as a non pro PS5. It's a lot faster than a steam deck.

Who on earth needs a console for twice the price that performs worse or slightly better? If you are a tinkerer you can even upgrade that thing with an eGPU.

Radeon 780M with fast DDR5 and 8 core unlocked 5.1GHz CPU only has problems maintaining 30fps in Black Myth Wukong.
It runs circles around the non Pro PS5 in everything else. I wonder how the chinese did get it that cheap. I got one and almost can't believe the value of that thing... The metal box is decent and temps are great. All that copper makes that thing quite heavy though.

Is Allan Alan's evil twin?

And also fake.

Child of Light was a successful attempt at making a good indie-like game. I liked it. It was different and creative. They had something great. I wonder what became of the announced sequel...

Plourde expressed that he was unsure if it was still in development but said that he was not involved and that it was unlikely, with most of the core team responsible for the original game having departed the company.
With a focus on games as a service, Plourde expressed doubt over the prequel, believing games such as Child of Light to be no longer something that Ubisoft would want to make.

Fuck Ubisoft.
