Doom 2 had a plot? I thought it was:
DOOM but now on earth and with some new cool shit to murder. Now go murder.
Like, seriously. You have to have gotten bored of the old levels by now. That's why we are giving you new ones.
What do you mean you still need to finish a speedrun?
Like, seriously? You invested how much time into this game?
You are joking? Right?
Right...
...
...
Maybe you should not buy our new game.
Like, we like money and all but this just isn't healthy.
Yea, that's it. Just stay calm, put the DOOM 2 box down and go outside for a while.

Wait. What are you doing?
Put down that plasma gun.

Holy shit, Doom Eternal is insane.

So much chaos and destruction and everything! It's just a massive, bloody, delicious clusterfuck.
When this game wants you dead, it will have your head on a platter and served to everyone in the room.

Fucking arachnotrons though. Fucking spooders dodge faster than Anakin Skywalker and Jesse Owens combined.

I would happily buy it (I have something like 200 hours in the first one) if they didn't have a "season pass" and day-1 planned DLC.

Can anyone recommend me any mods for XCOM2 that change the strategic campaign up. The more the better. I tried longwar but am bored of it by now, and it's not WOTC compatible anyway. And all the rest seem to be geared at the sort of people who think making the game harder adds replayability. And I am NOT one of those. I think that making a game harder just makes it less fun and more annoying. Replayability is added by adding new stuff to discover and play with.

So any tips?

Been playing a bit of Far Cry 2 since I have literally nothing better to do during this stupid ass quarantine. It's frustrating, and not even the gun jamming stuff, I like that aspect, I mean the retarded checkpoints that magically respawn every time you leave their cell and ALWAYS go on to chase you when you barrel through. Really annoying. I also wish they implemented an autosave function. Like, I know you can save literally whenever you want on PC, but still, autosaving would be nice. It's a good game otherwise, but I feel like the internet (ok, more like /v/) overhypes it a lot more than it deserves, especially since most of the love for it seems to have come directly as a result of the newer games in the series like 5 and New Dawn.

Going from a game with autosaves to a game without can be a real pain.

In my ongoing fight to get my game pass turned back on, I finally got an e-mail from those Microsoft fucks today. Something about settlement reversed. I don't know what that means, but it apparently doesn't mean I get my money back or game pass turned back on.

One of my colonists on RimWorld has a pet Warg, he is now 17 years old (life expectancy of a Warg is 16). Nature seems to be hinting that he needs to die, as he has had two heart attacks in the past two years. Both times the only reason he survived is because we have a fantastically good doctor/veterinarian colonist; I'm absolutely sure that the Warg would have died without his skills. I am going to be gutted when it dies, as it has been with the colony since the beginning, over 10 in-game years ago.

So i gave Doom 2016 a bash again, tried it a year or two back, couldnt get into it then, but i started it up last night again, and just completed it there now. Man that was a really fun game.

I played it on Console this time around via gamepass, so that might be why i felt more comfortable playing it as opposed to steam. Definitely gona pick the second one up.

It's...alright I guess. Gaining a royal title can actually be more trouble than it is worth. If you get a higher title rank than Yeoman then it causes all sorts of issues, such as the colonist refusing to do certain types of work, becoming fussy about what food they eat and what clothes they wear, demanding a certain standard of bedroom, etc.

I'm keeping my colonists at Yeoman rank or lower, by refusing to accept certain quests, as the colony would potentially become nonviable if enough colonists start to refuse certain types of work.
