Hello everyone. Hope everyone has had a good week. I’ve had a busy week (3 job interviews) but still found time to play a lot of Binding of Isaac since a muscle injury has kept me out of the gym. Hope everyone has a good upcoming week.
Over the past week I have played and finished Disco Elysium for the first time. Masterpiece. I’ll never play anything like it again.
There’s a novel with an English translation in the same setting. I haven’t gotten around to reading though.

Citizen Sleeper. Very engaging story so far. It does seem like everyone you meet immediately likes you and wants to be your friend, which is fine for most games. But in a RP heavy time management sim, I feel like you want to see those characters grow to trust you over time depending on who you choose to help, especially since you’re an illegal sentient being in a stolen synthetic body who literally just showed up on their space station.
First time here, but I continue to play War Thunder.
Don’t ever start playing War Thunder.
I started Farcry 5, having never played a far cry game before. They combine a lot of shit into Eden’s Gate which I don’t really like. The political commentary is just an aesthetic skin on the world, it doesn’t really have any substance. Though, if you take it literally, you’re a fed doing a color revolution against a revolutionary regime while pretending you’re a smol bean resistance fighter. That kind of accidentally gives you some insight into how little the creators understand the right wing militia movement. It just comes off as if someone listened to some post-2016 podcasts and decided it would make a fresh setting.
I enjoyed it but you really can’t think too hard about it. In my opinion, Far Cry 5 actively suffers from being an open world game.
The way the main story directly rips you out of the open world is extremely annoying
Try Far Cry 3, the best one. The politics are still bad (it’s basically “quirked up white boy with a little bit of swag busts it down sexual style… is he goated with the sauce?” played completely unironically) but it works somehow and it’s fun as hell.
Smh can’t believe this slander against Blood Dragon, the best FarCry with the best politics.
Marvel Rivals is, surprisingly, quite good. They’re leaning heavily on the comics style for the characters rather than another half-assed attempt at an MCU adaptation. The game is entirely FTP, with only cosmetics being something you have to buy as far as I can tell, and you start with all characters unlocked with no bullshit. If capeshit (or, perhaps more appropriately, the source material that was turned into capeshit) is of any interest and you can stomach multiplayer PVP, I’d recommend giving it a try.
