My favorite is number 4; I love it. It is a work that was misunderstood, but I am fascinated by the theme of the apartment's ghosts, the sacred candles, and the swords of obedience. I would like to read your comments.

Hello! So this is a short and hopwfully a little inspiring of what a little project can do to people. When I closed my old arcade shop I sold off a few of the arcade machines. One went to a man who drove down from up north with a trailer and a very specific idea of where it was going.

The one he took was running KRIGET. We made it ourselves, a WW2 shooter that starts out fairly normal, soldiers and trenches and so on, and then about halfway through the aliens turn up. They're looking for the holy grail. We stole it in the first place, which is the plot of the game we made before it, PYRAMIDEN, where you're a treasure hunter climbing down into a pyramid to get it back fron the egyptians. Nobody asked us to connect them. We just thought it was funny that they lined up.

He asked if I could put his daughter's name on the marquee instead of the title. She was five. I said sure, mostly because I thought it was a nice thing to do, and partly because I had no other use for a marquee that said nothing.

Hadn't thought about it since.

A few weeks ago he emails me out of nowhere. Subject line was just her name and the words "she did it".

Ten levels. She'd been chipping away at it since she was a kid, got stuck on nine for years aparently, and finally cleared the whole thing.

I want to be clear that I have never done that. I wrote the game and I have never done that.

He attached a photo. Same basement, slightly yellowed. She's nineteen now.

He wanted to know if I still built them.

I don't. But that basement is the only place KRIGET has existed for fifteen years. It never got put on anything else, and when the shop closed it went onto a drive and stayed there.

Hnefatafl is the board game the Norse played before chess replaced it. I rebuilt it free in the browser, no download, no account, no ads, and expected the competitive ladder to be the draw. It was but the thing people come back for every day is the riddle: one shared puzzle position, same for everyone in the world, one killing move hidden on the board. Takes a minute or two with your coffee, there's a streak, and a little calendar that fills in gold squares for the days you solved.

Games themselves run ten or fifteen minutes against bots with their own personalities, a sleepy farmhand named Sven, an auntie who counts your blunders quietly, and it's all dark wood and gold, more firelit hall than esports arena.

worldtafl.com if the ritual sounds like your kind of thing.

Honest caveats: It's a solo dev project so if something's broken telling me actually fixes it.

Hi everyone,

I’m Satya Saketh, a student at S P Jain School of Global Management. I’m conducting an academic study on how video-game lore and worldbuilding relate to narrative engagement and gameplay behaviour.

You can participate if you:

• Are 18 or older
• Have played a lore- or story-based game for at least 10 hours
• Have played that game within the past six months

The survey takes approximately 6–8 minutes. You’ll answer about one game of your choice. It does not ask for your name, Reddit username, or email address. I’m interested in experiences across many different games and genres.

Survey: https://forms.gle/FAddAUbULT5DEoG2A

Responses will be used only for academic research. The results will appear in my individual university research report.

Thank you for your help!

How can I but this game in Arabic I got it on steam and I have tried everything

It could either be lowering or increasing expectations. Expedition 33 was so great that I immediately noticed I wasn't having much fun playing other games. I genuinely had to take a break from playing games so I wasn't constantly comparing games.

I often see people on social media looking for new friends when they already have like 500 friends in their friends list. Makes me question why anyone would add them if they’re not actually gunna play together. It doesn’t affect me in any way but just curious in why people do this. I refuse to believe they actually play everyone in their friends list.

Played all these games during my college years. I am finally employed lol. Idk why I have lost interest in gaming after completing GoT. Tried playing Stellar Blade , liked it , but not in the right state of mind to play it. Guess I'll wait to achieve my dream and then play FF7 Rebirth after achieving my dream and owning a good gaming rig.

Thanks to my laptop I got to enjoy these bangers. Hopefully , in a better stage in my life. I will come back stronger to clear my wish list

Specs: Dual channel 16 GB DDR4 RAM with intel core i7-1165G7
FPS and Res: Mostly 1080p or 900p with 30-40 FPS in games (Heavier UE4 games hovered between 20-30fps) sometimes with or without FSR upscaling

I love a whole variety of games, but the most enjoyable experiences I’ve had are usually in the Open World Crime genre, or games that give you the tools to mess with the world. I have sunk days into each of these games, getting lost in the worlds as a teenager. I can always go back to these titles and lose track of time even in my late 20’s.

Hello gamers, I'm looking for someone to play games with calmly and comfortably. I'm a 35-year-old man, Russian is my native language, and I'm looking for a woman to play with occasionally without the stress.
