    Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony just dropped on Steam.
    But at $60 list? I'm waiting for the obligatory sale.

    Correction: pre-release downloads apparently dropped today.

    Probably a few different games this weekend, going to see if I can find a really good app for playing non-optimized games on the Vive.

    playing exclusively divinity original sin 2 at the moment, if you like rpg's, you owe it to yourself to take a look at this game.

    Yeah I'm playing Divinity OS2 as well.

    Game is incredible. I have to say it's the best RPG release in a long time.

    I tried the Forza Motorsport 7 demo and while for the most part it does hold to 60fps most of the time it does suffer from stuttering (in both menus and races) and uneven CPU core usage.

    A GTX 1070 can easily handle 4K at 60fps barring the menus which can't seem to hit that mark for some reason.

    After just getting my laptop on Friday, I've been playing the hell out of Forza Horizon 3. I'm also going to get back into Divinity: Original Sin before getting 2, and eventually finish Banner Saga 2.

    Installed both, put mods back on Oldrim, going to see how much I can duplicate so far in SE. Was missing a few things besides just script extender last time.

    Skyrim is why I am afraid to go too deep into Witcher 3 and Dinvity Original Sin 2. I know I will sacrifice shower and healthy food and sleep for weeks, and risk my job by feigning sick days.

    Oh nice I didn't know a PC beta was coming up. Dads been bothering me about ww2 for months now, guess this is a good time to give him a taste of it.

    Just installed the new Fortnite BR and my god its optimized so well. Maxed out with turbo disabled and its buttery smooth with no frame drops whatsoever. Wish PUBG was this optimized like holy ****.

    Well, I bought Overwatch last night, after trying it out over the free weekend. $20 off was too enticing.

    I am weak.

    I think if I can find special edition versions of all the visual/texture mods (especially weapons) and martial arts mods, I'll be good to start. I'm sure most of the vanilla stuff will be there, but sometimes you just want to load up the save where the Dragonborn has a rocket launcher.

    I recall some "holy crap what time is it" moments when I last had it installed.

    I don't have the time to get too addicted to anything anymore like I used to, but I like that I can play in small chunks, which is why I enjoy TF2. I'm generally not a FPS guy at all, otherwise.

    To maximize fun: pick at least one character from each category to get proficient with and be prepared/willing to flex to another if needed.

    Playing: Oldrim, since it still works.

    Messing with: Newrim, since I don't really understand everything about modding it. I accidentally made everyone all stretched and distorted like monsters out of dead space and then the game crashed, haven't really done much else after that.

    No, but the AI consistently self-destructing on certain tracks, and ramming you when you stray from what it thinks is the ideal driving line to overtake someone, is annoying. Happened a lot during the karting career. I'm really happy to have a proper, modern racing sim though. Overall, the car rooster is pretty good, but I hope they add more less track-oriented road cars. The most pedestrian Porsches currently in the game, for instance, are the Cayman GT4 ClubSport MR and 911 GT3 RS. I'm also wondering why there's still a road car that hasn't been unveiled on their official page when the game's been released almost two weeks ago.

    Shadow warrior. Pretty fun though once I stop playing it, I don't feel like picking it up again. Need me some medieval/fantasy game. Shadow of War seems interesting but might be repetitive. Its siege gameplay videos are literally just more of the same.

    Got around to giving DDDA a go this week. Not really for me. These kinds of free-roaming, over the shoulder and first-person games tend to find ways of making me nauseous. Even cranking the FoV to max didn't help on this one.

    Probably going to spin up Trails in the Sky 3rd Chapter this weekend.

    Lightblade VR. Kinda fun, but mostly for just playing around with the lightsabers. Because of the way the blaster bolts are reflected the best way to beat challenges makes you feel nothing like a Jedi. Still amusing though.
