Alba: a Wildlife Adventure is very cute and chill and good. Taking pictures of animals and picking up garbage and saving the nature preserve from the evil hotel developer. Reminds me of A Short Hike.

My grand-niece visited yesterday with with my brother’s family (Granny turned 99 on Nov 9th) and as the only child besides her little brother she disappeared into my room when I loaded up Alba on my desktop.

Now she’s bugging her Mom and grandparents for “at least” a decent laptop. We didn’t hear from the kids for like four hours, and I had to upload a bunch of Share-X screenshots to her this morning (I showed her the hotkey). It looked cute, and her brother chimed in that playing Among Us on my computer was more fun than his mom’s iPad. I guess this is how PC Gamers reproduce…osmotic-ly?

I... I can only look though the window...
Yeah, Alba is charming as hell and really captures the "Little girl going on an Adventure during Summer Vacation" vibe they were going for. One thing I thought was cute is you actually use the control stick to nod/shake your head in response to yes/no questions.

There's an ongoing LP of the game right now and it's... pretty bad.

So? It's not like you're actually gonna play any of these games.

As it turns out "update your location" means "go to the right country." Still had to actually find the game though, doesn't seem to be any indication it's free unless you go to its page.

A+ design.

At least I don't dance with them, right?
Also, this week's freebies on Epic are up. Which means you can get Dark Deity (a Fire Emblem-alike that is pretty mediocre according to LP), Evil Dead: The Game (an asymmetric 4v1 of four versions of Ash Williams doing rituals to fight a Deadite ghost that mostly flies around like a L4D director when it's not possessing things), and some cosmetics for Rumbleverse.

Next week, Epic has Star Wars: Squadrons and, judging by previous weeks, probably another free thing they aren't announcing yet. Or maybe it's just Squadrons, who knows?

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

No, it has a single-player campaign where you go back and forth between a rebel pilot and one for imperials, with your squadron allies that you can talk to in between missions.

i dunno. i switched to edge (from Firefox) and didn't get any captcha. i guess epic really doesn't like ublock and noscript even though i had it whitelisted :shrug:

I use Firefox with uBlock and NoScript and only very rarely get captchas on EGS. I only whitelist the bare minimum to get a site working correctly in NoScript and nothing at all in uBlock if I can help it.

It's a pretty bad campaign tho, played it earlier this year and was left disappointed.

Yes, but you had expectations based on paying for it. When I get a copy of the game for free, I'm sure I will never play the campaign

I got one last week, for the first time (a blocked captcha that chrome couldn't see, so I kept failing to get the game until I launched the actual epic app), but
nothing this week.

I never got captcha ever since I set up their 2 factor notification on my phone. It never ask for my phone confirmation either when I sign in or grab the game.

Some people think there’s bots that automatically redeem codes posted here so I tried to obfuscate the code a little. Replace the two ?? in the code with SW and redeem on GoG.
