Citizen Sleeper (Multi, XPd on PS5) As a rogue digitized consciousness in a body construct, can you find your role on The Eye?

If you're a video game enthusiast of almost any degree, you have probably heard about Citizen Sleeper. I'm here to say it definitely deserves the accolades. Once I started it I was unable to put it down and "completed" the game in 12hrs, seeing multiple (but not ALL) endings.

The writing here is some of the best I've come across since Disco Elysium, to compare it to a similar-ish game (tho you don't get to actually control your character in CS). Some genuine emotion invoking story lines here, which is good since there's not much traditional video game play.

Nutshell, this is basically a visual novel with a pretty 3D background that you use to navigate to various hubs and input the dice you're randomly assigned each day in order to complete tasks and advance the various stories you'll interact with. You earn advancement points when you complete scenarios you apply to improve various perks your character has.

Considering there's not much "video game" here, the other aspects must carry the weight, and they mostly do. The music is fantastic. The writing is great. The art style is cool.

The one place this game falters, imo, is the interface via controller. It becomes a bit tiresome navigating around The Eye. However, the rest of the game makes it tolerable as does the fairly short time to see most endings, 12 hours in my case.

Basically, if you're a fan of TTRPGs/RPGs in general, you should have already played this. If you haven't, highly recommend you check it out. Looking forward to playing the sequel(s, soon).

- shortcut for catching
- exp. share for whole team
- trade evolutions evolve by level
- trade + item evolution evolve by item
- HMs don't need teaching, just an able party member

Until recently, the GitLab CI configuration of the Dry game engine ran with the deployment target setting at its default 'native' value. Now that this has been changed to 'generic' - and all itch releases have been updated accordingly - our games and tools should run on a wider range of CPU architectures. If you were previously disappointed running into an "exec format error" and didn't want to be bothered with going through the compilation process locally, it's worth giving them another try.

This includes the 3D platformers Tux! and Blip 'n Blup, a rhythmic maze game called A-Mazing Urho, the twin-stick shooter heXon, a board game called Quatter and the vehicular soccer game by the name of Open Saucer - all of which have local multiplayer features - as well as LucKey Park, a theme park construction game and two editors called Edddy and ManaWarg. All are fully free and open source software.

Die ZEIT hat es gewagt so einen Artikel über ein so genanntes "Videospiel" namens GTA 6 zu veröffentlichen.

Kommentar von "Intergalaktisches Schnabbeldarium": Ich möchte hiermit kundtun, dass mich dieses Spiel nicht interessiert. Es ist mir sehr wichtig, dies mitzuteilen. Ich beschäftige mich ausschließlich mit Hochkultur. Zum Morgentee lausche ich Samuel Barbers "Adagio for Strings" und lese ein paar Zeilen aus Nietzsches "Die Geburt der Tragödie aus dem Geiste der Musik". Dabei rauche ich Pfeife, obwohl ich davon Durchfall bekomme. Aber als echter Schöngeist ertrage ich das mit Stolz und Anmut. Im Anschluss unternehme ich einen Spaziergang am nebelverhangenen See und rezitiere Rilke. "Hach...", denke ich, "Hach... Was wohl Dostojewski dazu sagen würde?" Der Fischer, der der Letzte seines Standes hier ist, ruft mir zu: "Hach! Was wohl Hemingway dazu sagen würde?" Ich hole meine Bratsche und spiele im Dickicht des Gestrüps John Cages "4:33". Nackt natürlich. Nach dem Crescendo lege ich mein Instrument auf das Wasser, setze mich darauf und paddle zur Mitte des Sees. Ich richte mich auf, breite die Arme aus und rufe: "Bratwurst! Du Heilige! Was wärest Du, wenn Du nicht die hättest, welchen du leuchtest!?" Bratwurst.

"And we have a new member joining us tonight. Please welcome Pete"

Everyone sitting in chair circle simultaneously "welcome Pete!"

"Pete, would you like to introduce yourself to the group?"

I stand up, arms folded tightly across my chest, looking uncomfortable and a bit twitchy

"Er, hi, yeah I'm Pete and I've got a problem. My skyrim modpack has just exceeded 2400 mods and I can't stop adding more. I need help!"

*applause*

"And that's why you're here Pete, it's why we're all here. You've taken the most important first step in admitting you have a problem and joining us at Game Modders Anonymous!"

"Er.. but I also play BG3, Minecraft and Space Engineers modded..."

....

Stunned silence

....

"Sick f**ker!"

;)
