  • I wish they’d expand on it and have a filter for player count in co-op. I have a game group of five and finding co-op, 5 player games is hard/most of them cap at 4.

    The ones that don’t cap at 4 and aren’t requiring high dexterity (i.e. fps) are base building survival games all the way down— which are fine for the most part, don’t get me wrong, I just wish we could find something with the production quality and premise of Outlast Trials.

    So far we’ve done: Conan Exiles, The Forest (1 & 2), Astroneer, Core Keeper, Return to Moria, Green Hell (may have been before we were at 4), Demonic, Deep Rock (with a 5 player mod), and a little REPO (which was good, but no progression system yet). I wanted to try Barotrauma but the puppet movement’s a bit janky for me.

    I know there’s a third party search engine I can use, but it’s sooo full of junk it’s hard to find anything worthwhile.

    Looking forward to The Big Walk, and am keeping an eye on Dune when it comes to consoles.













  • Back from Germany after a week long business trip. The combination of: being in a non-English setting, being around people much richer than I’ll ever be, being forced to socialize with coworkers, traveling, and jet lag = I am suuuuuuuper exhausted.

    I felt an anxiety that would not go away for the longest time, and I can only describe it as consistent heartburn that my mind’s eye continually extrapolates into “does this mean your heart’s going to explode??” and felt extremities go numb. Even though my heart rate was near resting, I just felt like I was gonna collapse, and no amount of resting in bed made it stop.

    …also I recently switched (at my therapist’s curiosity) from Lexapro to Prozac, and I don’t think the Prozac’s been working as well, which is a shame because I’m pretty sure some of my weight loss can be attributed to dropping Lexapro. C’est la vie.

    Anyways, back home to my spouse and cats. Time to veg it up.

    Oh yeah also my Reddit account of 18+ years (under the username /u/doug) was permanently banned lol and failed to appeal, so I deleted it. The comment that got me banned was saying something like “he should shut the rest of his body down too” in regards to a video of Trump falling asleep. I’m barely paraphrasing, but it was banned for encouraging violence. My bad.
