I mean, Activision said they were trying to replicate The Nuke or No Russian with the new MW.

The only problem is that A. Modern Activision has as much subtlety as an elephant falling on a house does, and B. Revealing the fact that there's going to be some questionable stuff in your game just gives away the surprise and makes it less impactful.

Think I found a speed run stat in Luigi's mansion 3

Switching from Gooigi to Luigi while clearing a room skips the victory animation.

I hate the new Steam layout. I'm usually multitasking online, and most of the time I have two sites on separate sides of the screen (YouTube on the left and NS on the right, just as an example). I always kept the Steam library on behind the sites as when I exit or minimize one, I won't be blinded by the default wallpaper I keep forgetting to change. Now that the library is far brighter, that's not going to help at all. First world problems, man.

I hate these BS panel/tile layouts in general. Is Steam even available on smartphones? Every company seems to be doing this. I remember when the original Destiny came out and it had that shit. Fuck tiles, what's wrong with lists?

I really do prefer the old layout to the new one. The new one just looks like arse.

Unpopular opinion, but I sort of like the new layout for Steam. To me it's aesthetically an improvement over the old one. But for some reason, the new library includes games I haven't played for five years and aren't even listed in my owned games (Mabinogi). There should be an option to opt out in favor of the older UI, especially because there are reports of lag.

Just started to get semi-competent on Football Manager 2019 with the release of the new game on the horizon. Hope they haven't messed with the match engine enough to necessitate three or four botched saves before I work out what I'm doing wrong.

I'm wondering how accurate that game is.

Does it include bribery, corruption, offshore bank accounts, how to fake injuries, and other realistic facets of futbol :P

I mean at least NFL 2018 had moving your team to a city who's willing to pay them more subsidies.

Yeah, the update undid all the uninstalled stuff I had hidden. Was like getting a visit from the ghost of games past.

Pyramid floor in Luigi's mansion 3 was fun, boss could be fun but either I didn't understand something or had shit rng.

The run of the boss took me over 13 mins, she rarely if ever did her fucking attack that lets you damage her.

Also health spawns whenever the fuck it wants to. Had a run where I was one cycle away from killing her and NO FUCKING HP SPAWNED. I was at 20 and dodged her attacks forever until I died.

I have seen a few YouTubers who have had trouble with that boss.

Tbh as a rule if you are having problems with a certain part of a game, then inevitably there will be others that will be too.

Currently reinstalling Destiny 2 since my friend convinced me and telling me that Shadow Keep is a good DLC. Hopefully on Friday, I can get the season pass to try Shadow Keep and the other DLCs.
