Hey guys Obduction is out! The reviews on Steam seem very positive.Though it looks like I'll need a new graphics card if I want to get the best results. Ghaaaa.......

Yes! I'll have to ask my brother if we could pool money on it, I'm not willing to spend that much on a game right away.

Just now came back to the forums and decided to read through this thread as gaming is close to my heart.
Someone in the chat requested a screenshot of my SSSS-themed civilization game a long long time ago. And so, here it is:

I am waaay late to reply to this post, but I thought I should point out that "Mikkeli" is an actual city. It is the Finnish name for a city in Finland which I believe is known as St. Michel in English.

Back on topic.

I... don't really have a list 'o favourites but I play quite a bit of CK2, Stellaris, Skyrim, Fallout 4, Dwarf Fortress, Aurora 4X and Space Station 13 (SS13 on roleplay servers only, though. Not the insanity that is goonstation or /tg/station)

I've been running games on my laptop. Anything made after 2009 gives it's graphics card conniption fits.
On a related note, I only now got Fallout 3. Got the Game if the Year edition, so I don't have to deal with the idiot ending.

Looks like another pixel RPG, in the same vein as Ib and Mad Father?

Actually, the Mikkeli train station does appear in the prologue.

For anyone who likes puzzlegames I can recommend the game "Antichamber" from 2013. However it's not a traditional puzzlegame, like portal or LIMBO where the puzzles follow physical rules. In Antichamber you’re stuck in a maze, and to get out you must solve puzzles revolving around impossible shapes and abstract thinking. So if you like games that force you to think differently from what you normally would, I can seriously recommend Antichamber.

So, being largely broke and without a decent computer, it took me this long to pick up Fallout 3.

I now have a new appreciation for Fifties music, for one.

New vegas is by far the better game and I consider 3 to be superior to 4.

*this opinion is based around the base games in unmodified format.

Don't know if anyone here is interested in Worlds Adrift, eh? Lovely handmade airships and lots of physics multiplayer.

This webcomic convinced me to pick up Skyrim again... this must be the fifth time I've resumed playing that game.

I installed a bunch of mods altering combat and now die regularly to enemies instead of every once in a while.

Perfect. Does anyone know what the Remastered Edition's requirements will be? I want to know if I should install the upgrade right when it comes out, or wait for a computer that won't be turned into a toaster by it.
