Yep it works.
It's not a game for me so I can't really say much about it but I do know that you still need to raise the volume on your voice since it's still a bit too low, as for the music it started out being too loud but you fixed that in the later parts.

Yeah, may end up having to get a dedicated microphone or just "eat" the mic... Or something. Maybe I can mess with the setting.


 And yeah, to hotel Yahtzee at zero punctuation the game is Euro space trucking simulator.

Finished "Deadlight". Cinematic-platformer distantly inspired by LIMBO, with shooting zombies on top.

Super cliché story, sometimes approximative controls, bad save point system.

2/5, would not play again.

Finished "Black the Fall", another cinematic-platformer inspired by, yes, LIMBO and INSIDE, again.

This one is a little more inspired than the usual LIMBO clone. It was made by a Romanian game studio and is about escaping a communist dystopia in a science-fiction setting, while a revolution is in the making.

Had some problems with the occasional bug (nothing making the game unplayable though), and I found the difficulty of puzzles really all over the place (but I think I had a problem getting into the spirit of that game, my brain just wouldn't start and I spent hours on puzzles that other people apparently figured out pretty quickly).

I appreciated how the game managed to have a 3D-modeled environment with real camera movements around you and such, while strictly sticking to a pure 2D gameplay.

The story wasn't particularly original and while I have zero love for communism, I still found it a bit manichean and preachy (to the degree that a game with no dialogue and no narration can be preachy, that is).

Probably will not play again, but definitely better than most of the LIMBO/INSIDE clones outthere.

Stardew Valley is surprisingly addicting. I probably shouldn't have gotten into it just before APs (the biggest tests of the year).

Apparently I'm a sucker for farming games now, I have no idea how this happened.

I've been spreading this news around elsewhere, so I figured I should spread it here as well: A game I have a strange affection towards called Raiders of the Broken Planet is free on steam until Friday!

It's a third person cooperative shooter with a hint of pvp, brawling, and a tiny smidge of stealth. It might be better explained here, with some gameplay basics as well.

New Vegas Bounties
Russel
The North Road
The Initiation
Blood by the Dollar
The Better Angels
The REPCONN Blues

Fallout 76 is going to be interesting, to say the least.

Currently waiting on Fallout 4:NV, a good weapons mod is millenia's texture mods however I mainly use the m39 emr from this mod
https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/47801/

In other news for solokov's gaming career;

  • bought and am playing through Prey... Recycled myself on accident within a minute of getting the recycler grenades, I plan to stack and recycle all the thingas in the ballistics lab later today
  • Got aotc Argus in world of Warcrack on tuesday
  • found the upper limit of Skyrim mods my computer can handle and not ctd every five minutes, it's in the ~166 number range... Although I've added another 8gb of ram since then so that number may have changed since then
  • also ordered a Sapphire Nitro+ rx580 8gb GPU yesterday when Newegg had it down to 278$... Gorram miners, but now I can shelve my rx450.
