Uh HUH.

Will wait to see what those files actually are, maybe? 

I have heard that those "certain files" can secretly activate chips in your monitor and turn it into a sort of webcam that watches you and sends images of you to particular...connoisseurs of such things. 

 

They're likely just covering their asses because they aren't 100% sure that their uninstaller gets everything on the way out the door.

It's basically covering up laziness rather than something malicious. 

I'll wait until it's actually released to be sure, but I don't think inclusion of the denuvo thing will turn out to be a rumor. I certainly won't buy the game new at full price if denuvo is included. 

Current collection:

1 with boon for neph rifts, one with lightning for grifts, 1 each for the 3 followers, and 3 spare for, errr, fun. 

Have they Changed the game so every single enemy has a 1 in 3 chance of dropping a Nagelring (sometimes two of them), now? 

 

This is starting to sound like the best copy protection ever. 

that's quite the collection. why don't you dust them? also what's up with those little yellow and green stars on item icons? i don't have it enabled, probly something new since the last patch? 

I wish they dropped puzzle rings at the same rate. Or unity, I've been after a 2nd fucking unity for ages.

You can craft Nagelrings by upgrading yellow rings in the cube, not that I was actively trying to.

Von, orange and green stars are just legendary and set respectively, you nub ;). I enabled a lot of info in settings, that might be it. BTW see that I got Hellfire and green gem on weapon, like u said. 

Just got a 9th via blood shards (11th in total counting the two I salvaged after Kinn said they were broken). Still no unity nor 5th puzzle ring. 

ya just didn't know they added those stars to the UI.

and pro move by adding proper gem to weapon, i see u storming greater rifts now ;)

and i've built insanely tough wizard, doing grifts 62-65 on him ;)

Kona, you like CCC on-rails shooters with vomituous headbob, did you play the first version of this?? I have vague recollections of an unimpressive demo but I might be mis-remembering... 

They're vague because it's a pretty unmemorable game, barely above average 7/10. I think it had too many arenas combat situations and lame reptitive enemies. Linear design, but the
graphics were pretty good.

Sequel trailer looks cool though. Guns and big ass sword = yes please. 

barely above average 7/10

Sunless Sea is having a free weekend on Steam. Recommend checking it out, bought it during the holiday sale and need to play a lot more of it... Apparently can get repetitive when you die often, but I'm still alive in my playthrough and enjoying it. 

i really like sunless sea, but i found the simple 'click this with a % chance' mechanic to be tiring after a while.

having played darkest dungeon, i was thinking yesterday it would be cool if you took your crew on missions with similar mechanics. 

Anyone else playing this? I'm a few hours in and having a great time. Absolutely incredible environment art... i'm struggling to think of any game that looks better than this. 

It's excellent in it's environments, use of first person perspective, and use of a single simple mechanic for it's puzzles over the entire game. It's a large island of puzzles with no hand holding or narrative, and a ton of shit to find. As long as you aren't completely turned off by the idea of a game that is mostly wandering around solving line puzzles, it's fucking fantastic and can be hard to trying explain why without ruining anything. 

That thing finally came out did it? Yeah looks like I'll be playing it then :} 

I meant to also say... about 20 hours in atm, believe I completed all the main goals, just secret hunting now mostly. 

Looks ok.... But just on Windows.

I bought "Back to Bed", which is a cute little puzzler with Escher / Dali ispired artwork.
Hmmmm - but only 30 levels apparently, but i got it for $3 on special.
