Just want to chime in as someone that has played both:

Both games have a nostalgic longing for games of the 90s, but that is about the only similarity between them!

Sea of Stars is charming, but I’d say it doesn’t hold a candle to Tunic. Still worth checking out as it’s on Game Pass, but I just wanted to bring another opinion to the table

Controller is just fine for our 4-player party. Having played Divinity on PC, I know kb+m will be easier but I didn’t think controller was particularly restrictive.

The tutorial segment is very weird for Remnant. My partner died before the ‘final stand’ segment of it (and before she had even seen all the control prompts) and she was shown the cutscene and dropped off at the Ward!

The game is definitely Souls-lite, and some of the bosses can be brutal (I have not finished my first run of the game, for reference), but I found it to be a fun time with friends. And it appears number 2 dials things up and addresses some of my issues with the game.

This batch of games feels so incredibly specific for me. I’ve just got through the bulk of Starfield and I’m looking forwards to playing other games alongside it, so this is the perfect batch to get lost in for the next few weeks!

Haha I came to post this after doing this at work on a VM.

Depending on the end user though, it isn’t just a band-aid. DLSS can help add new life to aging cards and prolong their life for a user that may not be in a position to drop money on a new card.

Not everyone is coming to the table with the latest hot and fresh systems to hit the most technically demanding games and DLSS helps them get those most out of their rigs.

Titanfall 2 is well worth playing for it’s campaign. It’s only a few hours long, but it’s a roller coaster and features some of the best level design in the 2010s.

I think latest was Titanfall 3 got canned for continued Apex development :(

Obviously different marketing preferences, but I hadn’t stopped hearing about this game for months

Great to hear Citizen Sleeper 2 is coming day 1!

I looked the other day and there’s a couple. The one I looked at seemed quite new, but as I haven’t played the game in a while, I wasn’t too pressed about joining the community! I’m just waiting for the ill-fated board game adaptation to arrive

Gris is quite short, only a few hours long. But it’s a beautiful game, especially at it’s climax. Definitely do recommend getting to it this time!

I, too, have heard good things! A friend actually bought it for me just two days prior to the gamepass announcement!

Absolutely agreed on Celeste - I haven’t played for a few years, so I’ve a hankering to pick it up again

I’m not saying to stop being cynical, but it’s developed by Massive Entertainment - one of Ubisoft’s best studios. I know The Division games weren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but they got a lot of things right when other Ubisoft titles struggle

For a film of this scope, $20M is tiny! They manage to save quite a lot by filming the entire thing within a short window, and keeping the number of VFX shots needed to a minimum.

And it was only made on a roughly $20M budget! Truly my favourite film of last year, so I’m glad it blew your expectations away!

I love this! Thank you for your input - the book is relatively dense so it’s nice to have some of that brevity shared to other resources!

Are these the official ‘decks’ on DTRPG? I’ve seen them on there but wasn’t sure of their usefulness, so a recommendation is great!

Rather than come in aggressive, why not educate? It’s easy to forget that there are genuine needs for disposable items when you don’t encounter them every day.

I can wake up, and go 10+ hours without meeting/requiring a single human need, but as soon as I then acknowledge that I should be doing those, all the sensations hit me at once.

Nothing quite like having to prioritise all base needs at once!
