I just logged into Steam and they have a new marketing thing that shows you games you own that you've nver played that "players you know" are playing now.

I am truly astonished with how many games I own on Steam that I have no memory of ever purchasing.  I cannot wait for my new PC to get delivered!

Blackout drunk purchases?

So the first dlc region after you complete the main game in Snowrunner is brutally hard.

Ice cracks underneath you, most trucks will just sink.

There are no watchtowers to uncover the map so you're driving into the most remote places.

The paths that they mark are covered in rocks everywhere. Rocks are the hardest thing.

There are bottlenecks everywhere.

I drove across an entire map to get to the adjoining map. Spent hours trying to unlock the garage. Finally got it unlocked then drove off a cliff and tried to recover to garage. Turns out the garage was built but not activated so I was sent to the garage in map 1.

Now I have to face another brutal drive back to map 2 to try and reach the garage again.

Got tons of new trucks too.

Fun to mess around in. There's some really great new maps in there.

One thing I was kind of amazed at last night was the ambition of the environments on Switch. They are huge and complicated and intricately built.

You can see, just barely how they've tooled the environment to subtly draw you to certain areas and traps.

I never would've thought a trucking game would have been for you, GG. Glad you're getting a lot of enjoyment out of it.

Nah, those are usually bought on itch.io Happy

Most likely Steam sales.

My weekend gaming time consisted of nothing but Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak. To the surprise of absolutely no one I’m sure. LOL

I mainly watched TV and movies this weekend; the new season of The Boys, Interview With a Vampire, and Brats. But I also took a few minutes to look back at some of the old digital PS3 titles I purchased before I pack the system back up.

I ended up playing Athena, the old SNK arcade game (which was part of the PS Mini's collection). That game had some really great ideas considering how old it was, but dear God it's practically impossible. I spent about an hour with it and I couldn't even make it to the end of the first world.

Thanks Raven. That's a good idea using trackball and also having a more sensitive mouse hooked up at same time. On the keyboard I'll hold off until I get everything instaleld and can figure out where I'll be sitting. I have an el cheapo wireless to use in the meantime.

It's all about exploration.

It's basically an open world exploration game. Breath of the wild with no combat and dungeons.

I started The Callisto Protocol and wasn't really feeling it so I began Dragon Age: Inquisition.

This weekend I Popeye (NES). I never really got into Popeye before but it's charming and fun. Shame it'll likely never be officially rereleased.

I also been playing Balloon Fight (NES), Donkey Kong (NES), Stunt Race FX (SNES) and Vs. Excitebike (Famicom Disk System) on NSO.

Yesterday, I was messing around with OBS and Retroarch and recored a couple of my short gameplay clips for fun:

Wow, Popeye... I hadn't given that game. Much thought in ages. When I was growing up there was a drugstore near my house that had a copy of this. I was very rarely given quarters to play anything, but while my mom shopped I would always watch the demo loop.

Never heard of Stunt Race FX, which is odd as polygonal games on SNES usually got decent coverage.

Balloon Fight is great.  I love it and used to play it regularly on NES and later Wii.  For some reason it's been a couple of years since I last played it though.

I'm listening to the podcast this morning, and the drug you're looking for is Adderall. Frankly, I thought you'd be more dialed into the youth drug culture. I'm going to go pop a quaalude now, sit here and be disappointed in you two.

I didn't know there was a direct tomorrow. I expect more Wii U remasters.

finally, that Devil's Third remake that everyone's been dying for will finally have a chance to shine.

The Devil's Third is a great example of how utterly stupid the collector's market can be. The game is somewhere in the neighborhood of 250 to $300. Possibly more. Yet no one really wants to play the game. There's not a lot of good opinion on it. But they didn't make too many copies of it, because it was so bad, and therefore it has value. I feel stupid for even writing that.
