I picked up Vampire Crawlers and got a solid 24 hours on it in the last 2 weeks. The game starts off a bit slow with the introduction of mechanics, but when wild cards get involved, it descends into being able to break the game in hilarious ways.

For example, there’s many upgrades you spend gold on in between runs. I strategized to upgrade how much gold I would get in each run. Turned out that wasn’t necessary because you could combo your gold increase per run to over 1000% and gem your card to print money.

I kinda attribute the rules of the game to a “cool uncle” that lets you eat a pint of ice cream for dinner. Is it healthy? No. What is a fun thing to discover and do? Hell yes.

    I don’t get it. If they want to increase PlayStation Plus subscriptions, they should limit the multiplayer games they port to PC. The last time I bought a console for a single player game was Final Fantasy 7 back in 1997.

    I have a 5080 and it worked well with some issues:

    Finding a distro that would boot from USB was a headache. Bazzite and Mint wouldn’t load, but Fedora did. HDR worked in videos, but not in games. I didn’t experience any performance issues with GPU heavy games, though I had to fudge around with Proton versions to get Armored Core 6 to work.

    Valve Index worked with beat saber, but I could not mirror the VR to my TV using steam link. The index had poor frame rates for playing non-VR games in theatre mode.

    OpenRGB still doesn’t have support to change the RGB on my card (Gigabyte Aorus).

    Seriously, fuck AI. With all the search engines shoving AI suggestions, I tried to give them a task that should be easy: Find me a deal on vegetable oil in my city. Flyers are readily available online, so I figured they’d be able to pull this off.

    I got a non-specific bullshit answer that was somehow both inaccurate AND useless.
