So I made this top ten NES games list a ways back, and feel like I might as well spam it here.

Dunno how many of our fellow drunks have access to a good ol' classic Nintendo Entertainment System or NES emulator, but these are my favorite games from that bygone era.

It was originally part of my top 50 best NES games list, but I wasn't sure if anyone would have the attention span for alla that.

So any CA old timers out there play the original NES? Or maybe stumbled across it later in life?

If so, what are some of your favorites??

Anyone else feel triggered to drink by something in a video game?

There's a spot in Fallout 4 that always gets me — a ramshackle, abandoned lookout post with a chair, some cigarettes, an ashtray, and a bottle of either of whiskey or rum on the floor. I see all that, and I just want to drink (and somehow enter the game-world, become my character, and just sit there and gazing out across the horizon).

Other games hit me similarly. Finding a bottle of Honningbrew Mead or Black-Briar Reserve in Skyrim makes me thirsty. And whether it's Mermaid Whiskey, Suzailian Sweet, or a humble bottle of Ithbank — when my character discovers such beverages in Baldur's Gate 3, I want to drink along with her in real life. Cyberpunk 2077 has Sake Utagawa, Ab-Synth, and The Jackie Welles. Red Dead Redemption 2 has Guarma Rum, Kentucky Bourbon, and Aged Pirate Rum.

And meeting Rose of Sharon Cassidy while she's guzzling whiskey at the Mojave Outpost in Fallout: New Vegas always sucker-punches me hard. In real life, I'd love nothing better than pull up a barstool beside her, swap sad stories, and take turns downing shots of post-apocalyptic whiskey with her all night long.

Maybe I allow myself to get too immersed in fiction and fantasy; but a good game can make me really crave a stiff drink.

That's right friends, a Warcraft 2 battle report!!!!

Where to start? The back story?

I've been on a scouting mission for 40 years to hunt down and recruit only the most violent, cuuuraaazy, mean and wild, but mostly deadly types of gamers to join the Violent Bob Clan (hence my name), but I haven't found a worthy recruit in an epoch or two.

But then I heard whisperings of a deadly dragon type burninating the countryside. Those whisperings were soon silenced by burnination!

For DeadlyTrogdor entered the battlefield!

And somehow that battlefield became Warcraft II, and yes you can actually play WC 2 for free online multiplayer in 2024... crazy!

Might as well spam it here https://warcraft2.online/ , because I want all you CA gamers to come play in one big WC 2 gang bang Free For All match to see who is worthy to join the Violent Bob Clan (or else)!

But I digress... And that is way too much backstory...

The Battle Report:

After copious amounts of vodka, and this strange wizards weed the peasants made me smoke, I finally had the courage to face down Trogdor The Deadly (DeadlyTorgdor!) in open battle on that one map with all the mushrooms (not mushroom for error on that map... sorry... wizards weed).

You see, the peasants were tired of being burninated by Trogdor, and I was willing to help out, but they had to like go mine gold for me and chop chop chop lumber from all the mushrooms, while I built out all the infrastructure for murderin'. For Trogdor huntin'!

Leaning heavily on nostalgia, I deftly ignored all of the woes of the clunky old user interface. Warcraft 3 streamlined gameplay controls made the game too noob friendly!

I'm totally ok with not being able to queue up units, set rally points, have large control groups of armies...

But for real, this gameplay was stellar at the time, holy Trogdor smoke I'm getting off track!

So I had to be on those peasants man... Like, yeah, return the darned mushroom lumber so that you can mine gold so I can make more barracks and feetmen to go scout for Trogdor. Also, look for more gold mines.

Towers are always good...

Hey, we found a mine, send a few peasants there to spam some towers. Maybe expo like 10 minutes later when you remembered that you did all of that.

Make one of those goblin or gnomish lab things so I can make sappers and flying machines to scout with.

Gonna find you Trogdor!

I also need to blow up all of these mushrooms, because I saw some gold over there. Sure my peasants have to walk like 30 miles to get to it, and sure a lot of them might have just died to sapper "friendly fire," but hey, dragon slayin' ain't cheep!

Then I remember you can upgrade everything, so I start doing that arbitrarily. Stronger arrows, random spells I have no idea what they do. I built some churches to help indoctrinate the young peasant children into slaying Trodgor and also helping me pillage the magical mushroom land of all of its resources. Which... keeps happening, so... trying to find more mines...

Also, my flying machine did find DeadlyTrogdor's human base, and that deadly dragon was amassing quite an army...

I saw archers, I saw paladins, I saw the implements of siege... I saw an incoming nightmare!

My flying machine I had kind of forgotten about, but it was sitting by a mine I knew Trogdor would not be able to resist... But Trogdor resisted that mine for like 30 minutes or so...

In the mean time, I remembered that mages existed! And gryhons! Let's mass those!

Also, flying scout, where is deadly Trogdor burninating these days??

Go see!

Oh no, Trogdor's entire army is running towards my expansion!

I could fight there, but... that army is huge and scary, so... I'm just going to like piecemeal attack with every unit I can find in my base, since I can't mass select anything (again, spoiled by WC 3).

I'm attack moving with paladins, archers, mages, balistas, peasants (and their indoctrinated children) and gryphons!

Then I remember my expansion, and how it's being wiped out by Trogdor, and how my main base peasants have chopped down all of he mushrooms and are mining like 50 miles away, and I'm desperately trying to get just enough gold to make a town hall closer to a gold mine way way way across the map nowhere near deadly Trogdor (as I was still much in fear).

But yeah, all of my attack moved units have done well against the Trogdor main base! It had many many towers, and lots of my units just stood in place and were slaughtered by them, but that was all so that the less estupida warriors could finish killin' all of the buildings, thus winning?!

"No! Ha ha ha," I heard (or read) Trogdor roar (or type), "This isn't one of those newfangled games where killing all of the buildings wins, you have to kill every little peasant and everything! Ha ha ha... ha!"

And then I flashbacked to all of my Warcraft 3 TFT nightmares of enemies tree hiding while my shit 56k internet lagged out, because my mom made a phone call... and I'd friggin' lose!

But not this time Trogdor! I have 1 GB fiber internet now, you can't summon a call from yo mama or fly your Control Center off to some island to turtle and tech for air like in Starcraft (anyone remember Doom Bringer Island?)

But... dammit this map is huge... and peasants and feetment are small and hard to see from the lofty heights of the 10 gryphons I have scouting the entire map for... 20 more minutes looking for your effing feetmen and peasants.

But at long last they died.

And Trogdor's forces were all slain up and had to join the Violent Bob Clan!!!

Aaaaand, because this is my subreddit and I'm actually cogent enough to post something for once, might as well tell y'all to joing the Violent Bob Clan too, and go to happyandsane.com where you can get FREE PUPPIES AND TACOS! But no puppy tacos... (please stop asking...)

Disclaimer: Many peasants were burninated in the making of this Warcraft 2 battle report...

Not a fan of visual novels (apart from FMV old games) but it's on gamepass so why not?

Game starts sooo fucking slow and boring I literally fell asleep, but by chapter 5 it starts to pick up. By the end I killed off Ryan because I didn't really care about his character but accidentally killed Laura and Max. I wouldn't spend a dime on this game but being available "free" I still kind of enjoyed it.

Do I recommend it? Yes, because it's a piss easy drunk playthrough.

So I got hammered and bored and impulse bought this roguelike game that I kept seeing pop up in Reddit threads, called Noita.

It's kind of like a mix of Dead Cells and Terraria with a little Worms Armageddon tossed in.

You play as this magical wand toting flyyying wizard that zips around blowing shit up.

It's pretty rad.

You die a lot (mostly by blowing one's self up, at least in my case), but it never really gets frustrating, because each playthrough is a different experience with randomized enemies and weapons (whimsical wands and mystical magical potions) and you can even mix and match spells in yo wizard wands between stages.

Also, you can drink whiskey! Maybe "too much" whiskey? (never!)

But then, just like on a real life bender, you just end up burnin' up...

First person rpg shooter with detective elements and various dialogue choices. Different factions to side with or against, which can change the story drastically. Plays a lot like Prey where there are a million ways to get things accomplished, so it can be suited to your style. If you liked Fallout: New Vegas, you may enjoy this since it's also by Obsidian. Free to download on PS+ right now and is an easy time sink.

(There you go, Veebz :))

Holy shit it's good. I might leave a permanent imprint in this couch.

I see what you did there Zelda!

So I'd meant to make a first impressions post on this game when it first came out.

Then I started playing it and... couldn't stop playing it long enough to write anything about it. It's that addictive, immersive, brilliant!

I've played over 80 hours now, and feel like I've only scratched the surface.

I haven't been actively pursuing the main quests, so I'm only about at the halfway point there (conquered two of the main "dungeons").

It's hard to pursue the main quest, because I'm constantly exploring every nook and cranny of Zelda!

My favorite addition / addiction was the "Dark World" down in the doomy gloomy depths beneath Hyrule. It was like the perfect zen experience for me to be addled on vodka and weed and get lost down in the darkness. Then I'd go there in Zelda too.

It looks like this at first

It's basically this entire world map filled with things that want to kill you out there in the darkness, but you have these seeds you can throw in front of you, or shoot with an arrow, that will light up the way.

It was like exploring the heart of darkness down there slowly lighting my way across the map in search of treasures and Edgar Allan Poes (these little light wisps of magical whatnots that you can exchange for items and cool gear).

It scratched an itch I didn't even know I had, and should probably get looked at.

Oh yeah, there's a sky world now too!

I also really love the new abilities, as they offer so many unique solutions to puzzles and problems.

You can fuse and attach various parts of the environment and mechanical objects together to create machines to help you explore, or to launch you off the sky map in some horribly unintentional way, or to more effectively and efficiently kill bad guys.

And it is so very important to efficiently murder, because every weapon, shield, etc. still has that durability element introduced in Breath of the Wild.

You don't want to waste the badass item you fused from the remains of your enemies' strongest parts killing lowly gutter trash moblins, when you can use a machine to do the killin' for you.

Because every bomb, arrow, wooden stick matters in this game. Rupees are scarce too, no more farming regenerating moblins and mowing the grass for endless money.

Now you can cook with those enemy parts and fuse them to weapons, so fighting all the bad guys you see is still fun to do and feels like it matters more (because it really does).

Anyway, haven't beaten the game yet, so won't give it a full review or anything. But if you played and loved BOTW, you're gonna love this one too.

I wasn't gonna post many images, because of spoilers, but I took so many, so... Here's my image drop. But be forewarned, there are spoilers...

Is anyone else playing this game out there??

When im drunk i dont play games at all. Dont have the concentration. Early on in my alcoholism i loved playing drunk, now i cant be bothered. When im getting sober I LOVE the Doom games. Just got Doom Eternal. Loving it, i get so into that shit, makes me forget for awhile and sucks up time. A lot of people bitched it was too different from the Doom game before it, it looks like the same shit to me. Its hard though, even on medium level. Also playing: Uncharted Lost Legacy, Shadow of Mordor, and Horizon Forbidden West.

Been playing this game on and off for close to ten years now and I’ve never actually done any of the group content. I’ve always just done single player stuff.

Was thinking that maybe if any of my fellow degenerates play as well, I’d love to chill and play through the class stories or maybe run some flash points.

Hell, if we can get a few people maybe we could even form our own little CA guild. Don’t let my time in the game fool you though. I’m still garbage because I never bothered to learn proper rotations lol

Hi, everybody!

For those interested, I just created a discord so hopefully we can get together and start gaming now.

I know some of us have been circling around the idea for a while, but I didn't see anyone create one yet so I just did. I'm very new to hosting a discord channel, so let me know what needs to be added/changed/improved! Feel free to invite whoever you think will enjoy it.

Come join!

So I've had Gamepass for a while on my PC, just almost never use it because I'm always either working or playing League of Legends, but I've decided to use Gamepass more since I'm paying for it and all.

So far I've played a little of Fire Watch and Octopath Traveler, and love both of those games, but am loving Dead Cells even more.

It's just the perfect pick up and play action "Roguelike / Metroidvania" type game that I can lose hours in.

The graphics are kind of like a retro Symphony of the Night and kind of remind me of that ancient Blizzard game, Blackthorne.

You basically play as this blob of cells / "prisoner" trying to escape from an underground prison labyrinth while picking up weapons to kill enemies with to pick up "cells" that can be used to make you stronger, but every time you die, you lose those cells. And you die lots...

The game somehow keeps me coming back with that "just one more run" mentality that almost always rewards me with some new cool powerup or boss battle.

It's been a blast to play so far. I'd still choose Hades as the overall better game in this style (mostly because of the character growth, plot, and sheer amount of character), but this one is a definite must play too.

It's essentially "adventure RPG" where you play as a crippled alcoholic cop who awakes with amnesia, in a puddle of his own shame, and attempts to solve a murder mystery while attempting to piece his broken memory (and mind) together.

Or... You can have him just go completely off the rails down the path of alcoholism, drugs, with some of the most ridiculously hilarious dialog options. The game will pretty much entertain any choice you want to take, but the success rate is played against a D&D dice roll.

Now there is a ton of text in the game, which might seem like it would be a rough go for us CAs with our booze addled minds, but at least with The Final Cut version, pretty much all of the dialog is also voiced (extremely well too).

It's definitely the most well written RPG I've every played. The humor, the wit, the perfect narration, it all adds up to one of the most enjoyable gaming journeys I've ever experienced.

Basically, you can play the game however you want. Do you want to clean your act up and do your best to solve a crime? Or do you want to listen to your deranged talking neck tie and go acquire all of the drugs... The choice is up to you.

I'm playing through for the second time, and I'm really trying to play it more straight / good cop / trying to get better without the oblivion of the drink.

But yeah, being hammered myself and crossfaded on weed, and seeing all of the protagonist's inner thoughts and dialogs fighting for precedence was a wild experience.

A typical early game dialog tree:

https://i.imgur.com/OuHWAQY.jpg

And what I chose my first play through (lol):

https://i.imgur.com/keUhXxH.jpg

I'm gonna go ahead and post the Final Cut trailer, even though I think this is the type of game where you really want as little of the experience spoiled as possible, so maybe don't watch the trailer and just play the game ;) Lick the rum stain off the counter!

So I've been addicted to this game in the past, and recently got re-addicted.

It's basically a "roguelike" 3rd person action RPG where you play as Zagreus (Zag, Zagareno, Zig Zag), the son of Hades, and you're attempting to escape from your father's underworld of the same name.

You will die... a lot, but fortunately, Zag is immortal, so he just keeps on trying his little heart out!

His attempts to undermine his father's will do not go unnoticed by the other Gods and Goddesses (Greek pantheon), and they all offer various boons and aides to our intrepid hero to help him stick it to the man and attempt to escape his wretched hell hole.

The game offers pretty much infinite replay-ability. With most elements of every dungeon randomizing on each playthrough, you'll get all kinds of different combat boons for all of your various weapons and other implements of destruction.

And there is just so much character to every character you encounter, from Dionysus, to Death, to Sisyphus. Every playthrough advances their story and dialogues, and relationships even.

My only complaint about the game is that in some of the late game regions on the Switch, there is some noticeable slowdown when you're spamming your abilities and there's like a millions things happening on screen. The poor Switch can only handle so much raw Olympian power.

It's fun to play while plastered. Just go a Dionysus build and get all of your enemies drunk. At least everyone dies happy that way!

ETA: Oh, and the soundtrack is also phenomenal! Every character is voice acted superbly, and the music itself perfectly catches the mood and the action. Really good time jams

I've pretty much played everything alone for the last year or so. Wouldn't mind playing with another person or two. Was wondering if any of you fuckers actively played anything or were looking to start playing something. I play most everything on PC, and lately have just been playing Path of Exile and Dota.

Well I guess this sub's near-dead given the last post was from 2 months ago. This post should be up for a while and potentially able to help fellow CA gamers in future though.

In case you didn't know, there are some subs on Reddit that lead you to free games, mostly for Steam/PC. I only discovered these over the last few months despite being on Reddit for years:

r/FreeGameFindings - this is multi-platform. I don't have a console and rarely pay attention when I see it on my feed, but I have noticed posts announcing DLC and the like for console games. There are also PC games outside of Steam like GOG, IndieGala, Epic Games etc.

r/FreeGamesOnSteam - pretty much self-explanatory.

r/Steam_Giveaway - people with Steam keys giving them away, competition style or free. 99% of the time if they're free people have swooped within minutes, unfortunately.

There's also r/Freegames, r/Freegamestuff, and r/FreegamesforPC but they're usually just reposting stuff that show up on the top two subs above.

For completion's sake there's also r/SteamGameSwap where people buy/sell/trade keys.

Enjoy, fellow gamers!

I play Fall Guys and Bomberman R Online. Both are very basic, free to play and require zero interaction besides, well, actually playing the game. I used to play Dead by Daylight bo drunk and loved it, but it generated a lot of hatemail and ragequits. Not really the reason i stopped playing, but it was either booze or gamepass subscription.Any favorite of yours to play while piss drunk?

I just downloaded this one on Steam after hearing a lot of hype about it online and am really liking it so far.

First things first, the game isn't as good as Smash Bros, but I wasn't expecting that considering the Smash team has had like 20+ to perfect the formula as well as add and balance 80+ fighters. It would be a tremendous (but very welcome) surprise if some Smash clone came out of the blue and did the formula better.

What is better, is the online play. Already... Yes, with every Smash release, the online play has gotten worse and more laggy. I went from loving Smash 4 and its online play to despising Smash Ultimate's lagfest shit online play which caused me to stop playing the game entirely.

But this isn't about Smash, this is about MultiVersus!

The game's fighters are all Warner Bros properties, so there are a few different universes here to play with. You could have a team where Bugs Bunny and Arya Stark are fighting against Shaggy from Scooby Doo and Morty from Rick and Morty.

The gameplay itself is pretty fun. Yes, the controls are a little floaty (think modern Smash games instead of Melee), but the game is easy to pick up and play, and it wasn't too long before I was landing combos and getting ring outs.

Progression is a little slow as it's free to play. I'm sure you could spend real money and unlock all of the characters really quick, but if you're playing just for fun and don't want to spend money, you have to play matches to earn gold to unlock characters.

There's lots of equipable buffs you can earn by playing matches that make your character or ally stronger.

The game is still in its beta phase, so you really don't have to worry so much about playing for the first time ever and then immediately getting stomped by other players. I mean, I got stomped plenty at first, but it does well with matching you against other noobs at the start.

The game appears to be cross platform (at least I'm playing on PC / Steam and have played against Xbox and PS peeps), but there isn't any kind of in game chat or voice chat yet that I can find. There's always Discord chats for that sort of thing though if you're super serious about teamwork and whatnot.

But yeah, if you do end up playing it, add me! I'm Snoo Snoo on Steam, but I think you can find me in game as HappyAndSane on my Warner Bros account.

So I've played many many vidya games in my time, but my favorite will always be Chrono Trigger.

RPGs have always been a favorite genre of mine, every since I played the first Dragon Warrior game on the NES waaaay back in the olden days of yesteryear. I mean, you can just grind random monster battles to get gold and experience to get stronger so you can kill stronger monsters until you are a total badass? Awesome!

Then one day, my mom rented Super Mario RPG for me for a weekend, and holy shit was that game a masterpiece! No more tedious random battles, the game was bliss to play, no RPG could ever even come close to Super Mario RPG. No way no how.

Then a bit later, I got my monthly Gamepro magazine in the mail and it had a top ten RPG list in it where some lowly trash game called "Chrono Trigger" beat out my beloved Super Mario RPG. Like, no way could any game beat Super Mario RPG, no way no how. Clearly the Gamepro staff didn't know what they were talking about and made a huge mistake.

Then one day while at Blockbuster (for you youngins, that was a store that let you rent these things called "VHS tapes" and video games while charging you ridiculous late fees) I saw that silly Chrono Trigger game for rent and decided to try it out of spite, just to prove how much better Super Mario RPG was.

I went into this game wanting to hate it, but from the moment I loaded up the game and was treated with that stellar opening theme, I was hooked. Games like Dragon Warrior and Super Mario RPG were fun diversions, but Chrono Trigger quickly became my favorite game.

For one, the stakes are much higher than more "kiddy" games like SMRPG. I mean, helping Geno repair Star Road is great and all, but in CT, you're trying to save the entire planet from a fiery death at the thorns of the spiky death alien known only as Lavos.

The game starts as a gay romp through a medieval-ish era Millennial Fair where you (Crono) celebrate 1000 years of your kingdom's existence by going to a happy fair and doing various mini games with some hottie named Marle that you "accidentally" knocked over. It's the only truly chivalrous to do after that kind of assault.

After fucking around the fair for a while trying to win that hottie Marle some silver points so that she'll maybe put out later, your other lady friend forces you to go watch her new teleportation pod science thingie in action.

Things go... awry with the teleportation when Marle decides she wants to try it out, and Crono is forced to follow her into the device if he ever has any hope of getting any.

What follows is a time traveling adventure to save the world where you go from such eras as the dinosaur times to the distant future, trying your best to impress Marle so that she'll bang you.

Things you do in the past will actually have an effect on the events, people, and places in the future eras. Maybe you decide to enslave a robot "friend" to plant trees in a desert in the past so that you can explore a forest in the future where that desert once was. Maybe you decide to help commit dino-genicide? There's so much to do here, and every action actually matters.

But anyway, I could write about Chrono Trigger until the end of time, but this was supposed to be a post where everyone posts about their own favorite vidya games.

Sooo, what's your favorite game (or games if you can't pick just one)?!

So the original Phantasy Star Online that was released on the Dreamcast like 50 years ago was the first online game I ever became super addicted to.

I'd stay up waaaaayy past my bedtime on a school night with my keyboard in my lap playing online with my bestest e-freinds (The Dreamcast Fanclub) for hours and hours... and hours.

If you're not familiar with the series, the games are online RPGs in the Sega Phantasy Star series where you're essentially playing in a futuristic anime-like action RPG that plays a lot like a 3D Diablo game.

New Genesis is the latest iteration of that formula but introduces a fully open world to the series (after a tutorial story section), and it's still a blast to play.

And did I mention that it's free to play?

Just go to https://pso2.com/ and you should be able to download it on Windows or Xbox.

Also, the game comes with the original Phantasy Star Online 2 (after you play through the Genesis prologue) which is also a blast to play.

I've been playing occasionally with a good buddy of mine, where we're trying to revive the great and woeful video game clan where I got my namesake, The Violent Bob Clan!

Anyway, some screenshots of me playing online:

So every once in a while I get bored of playing game after game of League of Legends and end up trying a new game.

I recently subscribed to MS Game pass, and have just kind of randomly been trying games.

I ended up trying out this game called Forager, as it had this adorable retro look and got a lot of decent reviews. Also, it reminded me of one of my favorite games, Terraria.

Forager, like Terraria or Minecraft, is essentially a game where you go out and gather resources to build things like weapons, factories, nuclear reactors, etc so that you can kill enemies and buy more land so that you can kill more enemies and buy more land. Also, you can farm crops!

The game starts out slow and a little tedious, but before you know it, you've got ballistas everywhere killing enemies for you while you blast everything in your path with various death rods.

I don't know if this game is up anyone's tight hot alley, but if you like games like Minecraft and Stardew Valley, you'll probably be into this game as well.

It gave me about 34 hours of super addictive gameplay anyway. Something about whacking at rocks and trees when you're drunk and a little high that just becomes so zen...

Oh, before I wrap up, the game definitely has its cons. For one, by the time you get to mid / end game, there is so much going on on your screen, that it's sometimes hard to keep track of where you are with all of the enemies, androids, spells, exp notifications, etc. Fortunately, you can toggle most of the notification type things off.

Also, the more the screen is filled with things, the more likely your character is to get "stuck" on nothing. Like, I was deep in this dungeon late game, and there's a timer where you have to clear out hundreds of enemies in like 2 minutes. Problem is that I'd get "stuck" on nothing and none of my direction presses would work.

So yeah, the game is flawed but fun. Super addictive and definitely worth playing, especially if you already have game pass.

I used to love playing second life while totally shit faced. I had one character got into hosting for blues DJs. Basically the host keeps the conversation going, which I did well just talking drunken shit.

I used to stay up for days on end hosting up to 14 hours a week, fuelled entirely by whiskey, red wine and hard cider.

Got into such a bad state after 3 months of it that I had to quit. And the booze.

I kinda miss it now :/

Done got obliterated and trying to get some CA gaming going on.

I have that game pass deal thingie now, and can play many games.

For the last bit I've been playing No Man's Sky, and boy is it fun to really enjoy a game this much again.

That being said, I share a console (XBox One) with the spouse, and we also have only one TV. So, it's rare that I get to play with our schedules. Hoping to get another TV and a PS5 at some point, but you know the story.

In addition, work is very stressful right now, and I'm kinda looking for a more... 'mindless' game to play.

So, fellow gaming CA friends, I'm requesting a recommendation. For either a) a two-player game, or b) a light-hearted game I can play at my leisure that doesn't involve too much thought.

Thanks for any input in advance, and I hope you have a great Saturday. Chairs.

So what's everyone playing these days?

Would love to get some online gaming going.

I've mostly just been playing League of Legends, but I bought a lower end gaming PC and I can probably play most modern games now.

Also have a Switch.

I plan on buying a PS V when it's back in stock, but who knows when that'll be.

Let's get hammered and play vidya games!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nH9Gm36sJng

competitive shooter set in the 1890s Louisiana swamplands. Kill a demon monster thing and banish it to hell, then loot their body for the trophy and get out. Only one/two bosses per map, so once you loot the boss you're a target for the rest of the map (max 12 players/6 teams of 2 per map). leaving with the loot from the boss gives you money, which can be spent on guns for the next hunt. period-correct weapons, bullet travel time and generally very high damage for the guns--headshot is a one-shot kill for all guns, depending on range. Also it's made by Crytek so while it's nowhere near Crysis' graphics (or pc demands) it is a very pretty game.

I have nearly 2000 hours in the game (still kind of trash though) and still love it. 40 bucks full price, often on sale. Great streaming community too, so you can watch it being played at a high level if you want to check it out before paying money. Psychoghost and Vombuz are my favorites.

Chairs

Looks like the PS 5 and Xbox Series X are coming out soonish. Anyone gonna pick either up?

I kind of sort of skipped this entire console generation (only bought a Switch), so I like the idea that they're both backwards compatible with the systems before. Like, I could buy one or the other and already have a huge catalogue of good games I've missed out on that peeps have been playing for years.

Part of me also just wants to get a newer PC for gaming. This one is like 10 years old and runs like snail...

Like just getting Chrome, or Discord to load quickly is a challenge, let alone a full on game.

But knowing myself, I'd shell out for a newer PC and... continue to play League Of Legends which still runs fine on a 10 year old PC.

my so bought sa2 for me (mainly) and i kicked their ass on the hunting stages but they got me on city escape for racing. i beat their ass on the other stages though. any sonic games you guys like? love yall

I'm playing Red Dead Redemption 2 while piss drunk and I still feel like a badass taking out entire gangs of robbers because of built in auto aim. I still fall from cliffs with my horse but it's just a small nuisance.

Tried to play Orin and the Blind Forest and 2 minutes in couldn't figure what I was supposed to do.

Every game should have a drunk mode setting, one that goes beyond the easy mode and adapt to the challenges we impose ourselves while intoxicated.
