How is it coming along? I’ve heard it’s fairly buggy at times, but that might be outdated information by now. I keep meaning to try it, but I always end up falling down the KSP rabbit hole when I want to do space stuff!

One of them was me! ;-) I’ve actually been playing a good bit the last month or so, but the last week it’s been a lot of hours, usually with the stream running on another screen!

That controller will be an easy buy for me! I don’t do a lot of couch gaming because I don’t like standard controllers, but I’ll happily use one of these. The Steam Machine and VR headset aren’t that exciting to me, but I’m sure there’s a market for them.

It’s rare that I find a game that I want to buy anymore, so I’m probably often in that percentage. I’m still regularly playing games I’ve owned for over ten years now, and usually don’t see a lot of reason to keep buying more. I did buy two this year, one on launch and one on a sale. I also picked up a few DLCs for two of my long-time favorites.

Fortunately the WRC rights went back to NACON after that one game, so they won’t be affected!

Actually they don’t! The rights went back to NACON a few months ago. Good timing, although I know not everyone likes the older WRC games either.

I would classify all of those titles as clickbait and ignore them. I play and enjoy both games, and both have their place.

I dug my sim racing gear back out recently and have been putting in quite a few hours into the rallycross mode on Dirt Rally 2.0! I’m currently trying to tell myself that I normally only do this for a month or two a year, and that I don’t need to buy a sim cockpit to do it with! 😂 Although I could use it for American and Euro Truck Simulator, so maybe worth it.

I’m watching it from a distance to see how things go. I’m a fan of the Dune books and the new movies as well, so the world would be interesting to explore. Unfortunately everything I’ve seen of it gives me the feeling that it should have been a single player game instead.

What they mentioned about the player built houses was the first thing I thought of when I heard you could build your own. There’s going to be huge amounts of clutter everywhere you can build!

It’s been a while! I was curious and just checked, September 2022 was the update 26 news post!

I think it’s a good decision too. I understand why they were still using it, but I’m sure it would turn some people away.

I’m happy to see they won! It’s amazing how low Nintendo can go.

Euro Truck Simulator 2!

The Greece DLC released about a month ago, and I just picked it up in the last few days. Lots of fun so far, the map is starting to get pretty big. I’m planning to do another long haul across the whole map at some point.

I can appreciate a website making a list like this rather than putting five games to a page to garner more clicks! I definitely have different tastes than the reviewers though, which is fine.

Yeah, I would put V in there as well! I still don’t like VI nearly as much, even though I’ve played it quite a few times.

I’ve been playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance again. It’s just a great world to just ride around and do things in for a few hours. They unfortunately had to delay the sequel until the beginning of next year, so I’ve got to wait a little longer before I can do the same in the new one!

Oh yes, I fully expect it. It sadly happens way too often.

I had a lot of fun with the original Backyard Baseball when I was younger! I’m afraid I’ve aged out of the franchise now, but hopefully it interests a new generation! I just hope they don’t go the mobile/microtransactions route. Even though it’s apparently the most profitable model, it doesn’t usually make good games.

I’ve had an account on RetroAchievements for a few years but never logged in on any of my emulators for some reason. I just started doing that, and it’s a lot of fun trying to get some of the achievements! It gives me a good excuse to replay some old favorites, and I’ve discovered some new things on games I’ve replayed many times.
