2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

I had a magical moment yesterday, looking at the Steam Sale and tempted to buy Dying Light: The Beast, and it hit me that I have the original Dying Light in my backlog.

Eight hours later, it's safe to say I really like this game, and spending zero dollars is pretty nice too.

What's everyone else playing?

Recently discovered The Division 2.

Apparently this game came out before the pandemic and also predicted it. So-so gunplay, great rpg progression so far (I'm level 23/40), and the world is insanely beautiful. I like dungeon crawlers, I like exploring, I like shooting stuff, so this game fits pretty well.

Unfortunately, it has this weird, mouse sensitivity jitter issue that seems pretty tied into framerate for some reason. I dropped my mouse polling rate way down and that helped a ton, but it's still there for whatever reason.

The first game is so incredibly atmospheric. Walking through the empty snow-covered New York streets, looting through abandoned houses, apartments and offices; exploring the subway and other iconic NYC locations.

Replaying the division at the mo, but love both D1 and D2 although noting the engines/environments are great but the stories characters are pretty bland.
