  1. I picked up Jedi: Fallen Order for six of your American dollars. The boys and are are conspiring to get some multi-player Baldur’s Gate 3 going over the holidays as well, around bouts of Magic and other nonsense.Report

  2. I got bored and downloaded an older game on my kid’s Switch. It’s called Sinking City? It’s a Lovecraftian horror adventure game. Currently frustrating the crap out of me but I like it.Report

      1. What a coincidence, eh? I’m in the Fathers and Sons quest, just avoided the fight with Fecund Mother, and then chose the evil son over the evil father.
        Idk what you’re playing on but it’s maddening on the Switch. But too interesting to give up, and it was only like $8.Report

  3. Ghostwire: Tokyo is Epic Store’s free game today. $60 usually and the ratings seem to be pretty good. Metacritic has it in the mid-8s based on User Reviews.Report

    1. And their Christmas Day giveaway is The Outer Worlds.

      I loved the idea of it, it had an amazing first third and… well…

      Kinda petered out.

      But if you’d never played it, pick it up. The first third is pretty good.Report

  4. More Baldur’s Gate 3: On this latest playthrough, I’ve decided to add Shadowheart back to my party at the expense of Karlach, who is without doubt my party muscle. To counteract that loss of melee power, I’ve turned Shadowheart into a War domain cleric and given her a higher strength score using the Ability Score improvement feat (16, 10, 12, 8, 17, 10), so she’s Strong, Wise, and Dumb, as all clerics should be. We’ll see how it goes. I remember being frustrated by the Gauntlet the first time because I dislike puzzles but once I sat back and looked at what I was being asked to do it was EZ.Report

  5. Today’s free game from the Epic store is Human Resource Machine. It’s a programming game (reviewed here).

    If you enjoy programming so much that you want to play math games in your off time, check it out.Report

    1. If I want to do math things in my spare time, I have a paper tucked away in a drawer here that proves a useful result about existence and uniqueness of a solution in a 2-D situation. I would like to expand it to 3-D. It appears to be one of those things that is straightforward in two dimensions, much harder in three.Report
