    Gaming thoughts, bite-size chewables - new orange flavor!

    Oh, I used to play that on my friend's Apple IIgs when I was a kid! Same thing, ran off the 3.5" floppy, no HDD.

    The Blue Curtain: MLB 2026

    I dislike the Braves, but I like that penguin! :D

    4X Gamers, please recommend me some games

    Looks like the remake’s 60% off on GoG, if that influences your decision. And it sounds like they’ve fixed a lot of bugs over the past few years. The original’s graphics do have a certain charm though. Along with the nostalgia factor, of course.

    4X Gamers, please recommend me some games

    Hmm... I hadn't heard of Caster of Magic, but perusing the Master of Magic subreddit has me wanting to reinstall the 2022 remake. Which apparently has had a couple DLC expansions since I last played it.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - Blending a JRPG with a Soulslike

    I fully intended to do all the post-game bosses (, , Renoir's Drafts, Dark Gestral Arena, etc.), but after I finished the story I kind of lost steam. Now it's been nearly 6 months and if I ever pick it up again I'd have to polish up my rusty dodge/parry skills and figure out what I was doing. :\

    a JRPG thread

    Have you tried Metaphor: ReFantazio? It's a little different at least. It has a similar structure to Persona 5 (maybe the other ones; 5 Royal is the only one I've played) where you're marching down a set calendar and have to choose how you spend your time, but thankfully it's not set in a high...

    Jesus. Yeah, that doesn't quite fit the tone of a Dragon Quest game. :\

    Gaming thoughts, bite-size chewables - new orange flavor!

    I kept reading "Princess of Cannock" and thought you were talking about the Princess of Moonbrooke. Didn't realize they added an additional party member! I never finished the original as kid; it got too grindy towards the end. Really looking forward to it now though. I'm maybe halfway through 3...

    Gaming thoughts, bite-size chewables - new orange flavor!

    I started that last month as well, and it was definitely scratching a certain Elder Scrolls itch. I got distracted by something else and haven't touched it in a few weeks, but I'd like to go back to it at some point.

    The Blue Curtain: MLB 2026

    I was talking about Donovan, the solid bat & defender going to Seattle you mentioned in your post… He’s been one of the Cards’ most consistent hitters over the past couple seasons. :)

    The Blue Curtain: MLB 2026

    I'll miss Donnie. He's super versatile on defense and seems like a great clubhouse guy too.

    Forza Horizon 6

    I'm liking everything I've seen about this so far! Got my pre-order in and I'm getting a little hyped. I haven't really played any Horizon since FH5 stopped having new events last year, so I fired up FH2 last night to dust off my dormant video game racing skills. :)

    Looks like I need to buy a new hat!

    Gaming thoughts, bite-size chewables - new orange flavor!

    Once in a while I'll have to look something obscure up on a Friday or Saturday, but I avoid directly looking up the answer. None of this really matters though, so do whatever makes it fun for you! My streak has been saved a few times by the fact that you can complete the previous day's puzzle...

    Gaming thoughts, bite-size chewables - new orange flavor!

    You’ll get there! Soon enough you’ll have a 3.5 year streak going and you’ll be terrified of just forgetting to do it one day. Not that I’d know ANYTHING about that, of course… :biggreen:

    Plur1bus, for the rest of us [spoilers too]

    It's still the Plurbs' biological imperative to assimilate her, so I don't think they would give them back. They forced the entire world to join without its consent (and that doctor tried to kiss/convert Carol in the first episode). It seems they just don't want to physically inflict pain with a...

    Shohei on the mound - Baseball and MLB Thread, 2025 Edition

    Is anybody following the Women's Professional Baseball League news? Their inaugural teams next year will be New York, Boston, Los Angeles, & San Francisco. In an odd move, they're going to play all of the 7-week season in Springfield, IL. I get that it alleviates all of the coast-to-coast...

    Ghost of Yōtei

    I'm continually impressed by how good this game looks and how well it runs on the base PS5. And FYI for anyone interested, the actor for Atsu, Erika Ishii, was on a recent episode of the Get Played podcast. Fun listen.

    How do you prefer to consume your informational content?

    I'm perfectly happy to read a long article, but if a site wants me to watch a 3 minute video? Hell no, I don't have time for that!

    A Dodgers/Cubs NLCS would just turn me into an Any American League Team fan. 🫤
