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?

    Nethack. Been playing for 30 years and still never ascended. This time I’m fully kitted out and I’ll be damned if I don’t get a win!

      I’m pulling for you over here! I never made it past the fortress right after Medusa.

      Imagine my great sorrow when I discovered that turning Perseus back to a man didn’t make him tame! 🥺

        Hahaha! First run ever that I got a wand of wishing and genuinely have nothing more I need, so I wished for a blessed figurine of an Archon and applied it, and he spawned with Demonbane and just mows down monsters like it’s nobody’s business. :)

      I adore Nethack; there is so much to discover! Although, most of it is stuff that kills you. My first ascension was with the very reliable human Valkyrie.

        Yeah it’s ridiculously deep. Like I said, I played it for 30 years and I still learn new stuff all the time when I read the wiki or watch videos, like “damn! Had no clue, that is pretty smart, what a bizarre mechanism but it’s perfectly logical when you think about it” hahaha!
