Have you ever rekindled a friendship after losing touch? How'd it go?
  • I've come close a few times. I'm so introverted usually my only friendships are held together through my significant other so if they drift away, so do I. I've tried reaching out in the past but it never amounts to anything.

  • TIL Windows XP had specific code just to maintain compatibility with Lego Island
  • What is it about Lego Island? It feels like there's always something new being discovered with that game.

  • The Game Pass Version Of Starfield Can Be Upgraded For Early Access
  • I bought it on launch and I really don't remember having any issues. I'm always surprised it has such a bad rep.

  • An Extended Look at Armored Core 6
  • It looks glorious! I've been waiting for a really good mech game for ages!

  • Gun focused games
  • I hope that unlike Fallout 4, Starfield has more encounters you can talk your way out of. It drove me crazy all the named Raiders with cool back stories that you only found out about through terminal entries and handwritten notes. Don't get me wrong, I do want that sort of storytelling too, but it does sort of lend weight to the criticism that it's too gun focused, and I am definitely timid about Starfield ending up the same way.

  • eyoo lightly drunk chat on meeting ppl?
  • I've been going to a weekly Magic: the Gathering night at my local game store, and it seems like a great way to meet people, but every time I feel like I'm getting acquainted with people I get pulled out of town for work. It really sucks! If it wasn't for that it would be a great place to meet people.

  • What's your favorite internet "oldie"?
  • Came here to say StumbleUpon too. I had "cats" as one of my tags and my parents thought I must really want one because they always walked by when I happened to be on a cat page. So that's how I ended up with a cat for my birthday. Don't get pets as gifts, people.

  • For reasons no one can fathom, McDonald’s has released a new Game Boy Color game
  • Anybody else remember Global Gladiators on the Sega Genesis? It was a McDonalds tie in but actually pretty fun!

  • Recommendations for games where the sound takes it to the next level?
  • Interesting you bring up Subnautica, because I remember thinking when I played it "Wow, this game sounds a lot like Half Life!" And wouldn't you know it, the devs started out as Half Life modders. It goes without saying that the sound design in Half Life is impeccable, and truly iconic. Clearly they learned something!

    Definitely seconding this suggestion.

  • What are y'all's all time favourite game OSTs?
  • Most of my favorites are already here, but one that's unfortunately overlooked is the soundtrack to Arcanum: of Steamworks and Magic Obscura. It's all this really moody, atmospheric string quartet music that just fits the game perfectly. I really recommend you give it a shot, it's really unique!

  • Anybody else have tabletop forces to show off?
  • Hey I've also got a bunch of red Space Marines

  • What’s everyone playing this weekend?
  • Minecraft... Always Minecraft. I just joined a multiplayer server that's starting a new world so hopefully they get to launch this weekend. Really looking forward to it because I've never really been part of a server like that.

  • What gaming moment made you genuinely smile?
  • Right at the beginning of Nier Automata when it shifts into a bullet hell game for a bit and the already amazing soundtrack changes styles to match I just knew I was in for an amazing experience.

  • What's your favorite book(s) of all time?
  • The Lies of Locke Lamora was so good I had to take a break from reading afterwards cause nothing could compare.

  • Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Steam page is up
  • Hope this game lives up to the hype! If the co-op is as fun as it sounds I'm 1000% in.

  • Trails & Tales update out now for Minecraft
  • I'm really enjoying trying to track down all the armor trim templates. So excited to try mixing and matching them!
