We played Rock Band (yarc) for hours at our Xmas Eve party last night. 20 or so people and just about everyone cycled thru to play. That game will never die.

Got them the cosplay they wanted for Xmas. That’s their big gift.

And in this moment, I realized my kid fits some theater kid cosplay archetype that I didn’t know existed.

Gamebillet has been killing it lately

did I just get psyllium husk pilled

Boy you called that shot. That’s exactly what I’ve got.

That’s a great question. I’m not sure. I played Blue Prince and really liked it, but my family went and found Seance because they thought it was like Roottrees and Immortality.

Alright, this must actually be a thing because that’s what my kid said about Date Everything, too. The kid is way into voice acting.

• Shape of Dreams: Need to scratch that hack n slash itch. D4 is boring and PoE 2 ran horrible on my machine. New game but under $15.
• Cuphead: One of my kids has wanted to play this for years. Xmas present for him.
• Date Everything: The other kid wants this one. Xmas present. I dunno, man.
• The Seance of Blake Manor: Our family loves these kinds of games and it’s one of the only ways to get us all in a room. New game but under $15.
• Split Fiction: I hate the price still but my wife loved It Takes Two. Fiiiiiiine.
• Duck Detective The Secret Salami: Another family game.
• Echoes of the Plum Grove: I like this kinda stuff
• Capcom Fighting Collection 2: Man I love Power Stone.
• Astro Bot: Reviews are good enough to catch it on black friday deals.
• Spiderman 2: Loved 1 and Miles Morales.

Me too, but people I know into each of those genres usually just play the shit out of those genres. Racing peeps and sports sims peeps usually have a billion hours in them and like 3 playing some else.

I like brutalism and that building suuuuuuuuuuucks

I know, but it was my white whale and I wanted to play it on the original hardware.

I think I spent more time trying to get the PSO hack to work than I did playing the actual games.

that’s a lie i played animal crossing and double dash until my eyes were bleeding

I have been looking for this game for at least a decade and I finally got a copy over the summer.

The last time I played (probably 3 or 4 years ago), I had my brother pocket medic for me in the same physical room so I could bark orders at him. He’d never played, but he’s a good fps player. My first life on a pub server I went as a heavy and got a 22 kill streak. We’re a family of highly competent shit talkers and boy, my brother didn’t have shit to say.

As the dad of a teenager, I am “encouraging” him to put nudity blocking systems on his phone.

oh shit would you look at that i just taught him how to go around me and hide his behavior better im sure there will be no future consequences whatsoever

Played Baldur’s Gate with the wife (finally) and been playing Ember Knights with my kid.

That’s a wild top 5. All over the place, genre wise.

Every game you played is on my list to play.

My wife was in law school in 2007 and I needed to get her a change of scenery cause she was studying 70 hours a day. I rented a trashy little house on a canal in Galveston, TX, grabbed my laptop to bring along, and bought a copy of The Orange Box to keep me busy while she studied and looked out the window at something different.

Years later, when I hit 6k hours played in TF2, I decided it was time to do something else.

My son’s most played game in his replay this year was TF2 and told me a few weeks ago he thinks he could beat me. I haven’t played in years.

Son, Imma wreck your shit.

also i played a lot of fantasy life this year
