No idea how I didn't hear about it before, don't recall it coming up in here

Tacoma is real solid, top 20 of 2017 easy. It's like a playable episode of Black Mirror

I am pretty sure the sleep deprivation I incurred when playing XCOM2 on release contributed to my coming down with the flu that year. I could feel myself getting sicker as I played but I couldn't stop myself

I heard Vampire also used unique animations for every conversation. Is that true?

What I mean by that is that in games like skyrim, they have the same set of canned animations when you go into a dialogue with someone, but what I've read is that Vampire had custom animations for those talky bits so that nobody was doing the same set of canned animations. Idk how true that is or, if true, how exaggerated it is.

I remember the dialogue animations looking realistic and lifelike enough to impress me back then. I know that people made a big deal about it using the Source engine before even Half-Life 2 came out.

I don't know if it holds up after 15 years and almost don't want to know.

Hmm, I was going to buy the Battlefield 1 complete edition because I saw it was only $25 but I guess that was a holiday sale price because it's now back up to $60.

I guess I'll play more Destiny 2

"adventure" as a genre is a condensation of "games similar to the game that was literally titled Colossal Cave Adventure"

Maybe in 20 years everyone will stop adding "like" to roguelike and we'll just be calling them rogue games. Rog games, even
