@themcnoisy I played Oregon Trail last month on a whim and was surprised how much I enjoyed it. I actually managed to somehow make it to Oregon with all my little people alive which I reckon was complete luck. The shooting is truly terrible but it kinda adds to the charm. It’s definitely worth a play out of curiosity more than anything else.

@nessisonett I was permanently hunting for food!

I got about halfway on the map before switching it off. So never made it to Oregon.

i'm thinking of changing my user name maybe something like Ex-SOLDIER or something else FF related

what do you think, should i change it or keep it as is

@FullbringIchigo please don't change your name soldier.

@RogerRoger I was using keyboard and mouse too

I think it’s funny how the PlayStation Store tries to recommend games to you based on what you buy or play. I usually don’t pay any attention, but I was looking today and it suggests “Because you played Jedi: Fallen Order...”. Then it suggests Batman Arkham Collection, The Surge 2, Control... okay, those make sense.
Then it says “Because you played Dead Cells...” and it suggested Immortal Redneck, which looks like an awful FPS, and Rocksmith 2014 Edition... Huh?! 😂 I’m not sure how it came up with those suggestions. I had to scroll through a bunch of other low budget randoms like Mervils: A VR Adventure (I don’t even own a VR), and Hyper Jam (A “neon based arena brawler” apparently?) to finally get to Hollow Knight about the 15th one down the list, and as far as I would guess, the closest game genre and quality-wise to Dead Cells. Just kinda make me laugh to myself. I always ignore and don’t even read the recommendations there, so it was humorous to actual pay attention to them.

Ah...
My starter house on The Sims 3 PS3. 😁

@Th3solution I'm guessing because Dead Cells and Immortal Redneck both have "rougelike elements."

@Th3solution Immortal Redneck has got quite good reviews actually. Maybe you should give it a go?

@Ralizah @JohnnyShoulder Sure enough. I was just basing things off the screenshots and the title, but Immortal Redneck appears to be nothing like what I thought it was. Perhaps the PlayStation store logic is better than I realized.
An unfortunate title still, but may be worth a look.

This headline and story purposefully designed to make me even more confused..

@Thrillho Try saying that ten times fast.

@Thrillho It would be even more confusing if Outer Wilds hired an Outer Worlds writer now.

@RogerRoger @mookysam I think we may have just made @Thrillho's head explode. I do hope he clears up after himself.

My hand-made chess set with Indian-style pieces arrived this morning, should prove handy when I'm playing online, trying out possibilities etc.

I have question about Ratchet & Clank Size Matters & Secret Agent Clank both PSP and PS2 version.
Which version should i choose?
I have secret Agent Clank PSP but the controlling was so awkward with R L buttons so i was thinking to get the PS2 version for Analog controlling.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic
Sounds great, do you have a photo of it?

Very nice, looks like a great display piece.

It’s a shame to see Jason Schreier leaving Kotaku, his investigative journalism is second to none in the gaming journalism industry. At the same time, it’s absolutely the private equity owners’ fault and they’ve let every bit of talent walk out the door across their many websites.

@nessisonett Personally, I cannot believe that he has been at Kotaku so long as his in depth investigative pieces seemed slightly out of place sandwiched between articles on how the patriarchy have made The Sims an extension of anti-feminist expression and one on the top five badgers seen in Switch games.

I look forward to finally seeing his second book and he won’t be out of work for long; he recently had a piece on FF7R in the New York Times so I’m sure he’ll be fine.
