Happy New Year folks! I hope everyone had a good holiday season. Did anyone score any big loot? My gift game turned out to be Mario Odyssey, which I’m loving to death.
My only complaint is the “base game” is too easy. They clearly built it around the idea of re-playing and exploring levels to find harder goals, and that adds substantial…[Read more]

Hey that’s awesome to hear! I hope it goes somewhere. Would unpaid folks like myself still be able to provide content? Or would it shake the whole system up?

Rex ranae replied to the topic Input Requested – Further integration of Patreon. in the forum Shooting the Shit 7 years ago
This sounds reasonable to me – I would definitely hate to see obtrusive paywalls, as I don’t think that’s an improvement over the model a lot of larger sites follow. I also think that since the site is just burgeoning it needs to be as attractive as possible to potential readers and contributors. Maybe if it was the biggest hottest shit on the…[Read more]

I think FBW will be a better game. I liked SoT a lot, but FBW looks like the GAME itself is more deep.
Meanwhile, I’m a weak weak sack of poo – I just bought Grim Dawn on sale on GoG :-( It was a good price, and a HATE what they did with Diablo 3 and would like to experience a more quality ARPG

Hah, yeah I’m paring my purchasing plans down – I have a LOT going on and not enough time to play. Totally absorbed in BotW right now. I think the only gaming purchase I’ll get for the rest of the year will be South Park FBW.

I never played the first one, so I’m not coming into it with an inherent love for the series. I’m also not a huge old-west person. But this does look really good. I may give it a try at some point. I think I’d find exploring the wilds more rewarding than the cityscape sandbox of GTA

Stellaris and Total War Warhammer are wonderful games. Stellaris is almost too grand-scale for me, though. I have trouble paring it down enough to get a clear sense of accomplishment – I feel like I can look up after a whole afternoon of playing and realize there are only more obstacles in front of my civilization than there were when I started :-P

Welcome! I’ll let Rob answer most of that, but I can say he’s definitely been open to us writing about older games. He is, himself, an avid collector.

So far so good with image upload and seeing the links to the forums. I’ll let you know if I come across anything funky!

No worries, just let me know when you believe it’s fixed and I’ll test it again!

As much as I love old-school gaming, especially RPGs, one issue I think folks like myself tend to struggle with is the fact that new games in that “genre” (?) tend to feel forced. That seemed to be behind the […]

Yeah this new job is an insane time suck. But I’m much much happier at it than I was before.
The Switch is great – Zelda continues to dominate my mind, but I also got Mario Kart for my birthday and it’s a gem (as they almost always tend to be). One game I’m looking forward to is Octopath – I played the demo yesterday and it’s a real old-school…[Read more]

Hm, this doesn’t seem to work still. Gamelust accepts anything in the patreon id field now, but the Patreon ID (RexRanae), the full Patreon user URL, and a URL linking to the “become a patron” page – none of those work

Overall, I like it a lot. One concern I have is there doesn’t seem to be a link to the forums anywhere – I think we won’t get any more traffic in the forums if the only way to find them is through the WordPress user profile.
I’ve attached requested screens from Win 10, 1080p, Firefox. Two are windowed, and two are fullscreen. In the second…[Read more]

Hey guys, sorry for the silence. As some of you may know, I just completed a big cross-country move to start a new job. So I had a lot on my plate leading up to that, and… well now my new job is eating up my time in a serious way. It’s a great opportunity, but has had a big impact on my rest and relaxation time.
Anyway, update on me: I’m still…[Read more]

I’m just reading this ancient topic now. I will say this – I’m reading fewer and fewer articles on major game websites that I used to follow. But it’s not because I’m disinterested in gaming news, but rather that I am disinterested in THEIR gaming news. I have mild interest, at best, in throw-away small-talk articles covering the same AAA games…[Read more]
