Official Video Games Thread VIII: Titans are destined to fall

[Kepler]

My friends are great in print.

I would be risking my life nightly if I were single, though. Sine qua non.

If you were really an introvert, you wouldn't be.

He said he was introverted, not an isolated hermit.

I enjoy my quiet time and spend probably too much time in the office/gaming room these days. But even still, it was awesome seeing my best friend from law school and going to a live sporting event for the first time in over a year last weekend (Wisc. - MSU hockey in Madison).

I know nothing about video games but this is wonderful.

Not to be left out, Sony is buying Bungie for $3.6 billion.

Does Taco Bell wind up owning everything?

I've always been guilty of being an early adopter. Excited that my Steam Deck arrives on Wednesday!

Yes, I know Valve has a terrible track record on hardware. But... NEW SHINY!

Please tell me how this goes. I am... intrigued.

Are all of your Steam games automatically loaded? (I may have 200 of them...)

First impression. Its a beast in size. But doesn't feel heavy in your hand (i know this is jokes waiting to happen).

Actual games on Steam:

One of my daughters favorite games is called “Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion”.

 

[Kepler]

The genre tag in Steam for Chinese Parents is "psychological horror."

A suboptimal result from Shower with Your Dad Simulator:

Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion is actually on a lot of consoles, and pretty well received, not just available on Steam.

I have played this game:

Synopsis:

The game is set in 1848 Paris inhabited by anthropomorphic animals, and the player takes the role of Jayjay Falcon, a defence lawyer who must defend a series of clients in court. For each case the player is given a limited number of days to explore various locations around the city of Paris, gathering clues, but also numerous red herrings. The player must then use the results of their investigation to cross examine witnesses at the trial, to try and procure a verdict of not guilty from the jury.

There is a game on Steam called Fuck the Police.

It is about exactly what you would think.

There are several games involving guillotines but unfortunately none so far targeting the rich.

Massive leak of GTA VI.

Potentially the biggest in video game history. The hacker may even have the source code. Allegedly it's the same hacker who hacked Uber earlier this week.

Confirms a lot of rumored stuff, playable female character being the biggest. Cue the "Rockstar going woke" takes (even though they've be trying to do a female playable character since San Andreas).

 

[aparch]

Biggest take away from the leak I saw was that by the source code getting out, hacks could be found and exploited in the online modes.

New year, a lot of good stuff. Starting with Hogwarts Legacy on 2/10.

Also, a niche game I'm excited for is Labyrinth of Galleria on 2/14.
