I’d like to come over to your house and just smell a bunch of old video game stuff.

Hey! My Nan has that Intellivision console, and she used to play some kind of cops and robbers type game ENDLESSLY. I think it was called something like... Smash & Grab? Lock & Go? It was a Pac-Man like maze, and you had to clear all of the coins, and there was a money bag, or burger, or some other random thing at the centre of each screen. My Nan could okay for literally hours without losing a life. She was AMAZING at it. My Nan only had one arm, so she could control that spinny disc controller without any worry on that game.
Lock & Chase! Looked it up on Hoghles.

Took longer than I expected to figure out how to get it running, but mainly because it didn't like the first USB stick I tried.
And just in case I ever run out of games to play.

PRGuino SD Card Reader for the C64 <20>

It just goes in the C64's tape deck socket and you load up the SD card with .PRG files.
<11.24> Hotline Miami Collection (Switch)
<6.69> Human Fall Flat (Switch)
Human Fall Flat solo is ok. Human Fall Flat coop is incredible.
I'm playing it solo on the PC at the moment and it's fun enough but definitely feels like it's lacking something.
The more the better. Three was amazing.
Do you get different levels in coop? There's nothing in the versions I've played that would require or even really support multiple people.

Nope, same levels
<7.99> Vader Immortal: Episode I (Oculus)
<2.09> Candle: The Power of the Flame for the Switch.
<13.99> Superliminal. This is the first time I've bought a game (near) day one for ages and I'm very much looking forward to having my head fucked by it's madness.

<3.09> Escape Funky Island
Oh, I forgot about the fish game.

<£55>ish - CoD Modern Worf Hair
<£20> - Jackbox Party Pack 6
<10.99> Donut County for the Switch
<11.29> Baba Is You also for the Switch
<8.24> GTA V Xbox One

3rd time I've bought this game.
<37> 12 months PSN thing.
<17.49> A Plague Tale: Innocence

Not intending to play it until after I've finished Death Stranding, but it was half price on GOG so I snagged it ahead of time. (It's still £39.99 on Steam.)
<6.48> on Metrico and the second Batman Telltale game for the PC.
<8.99> Way of the Ninja for the Switch.
<7.49> Tabletop Simulator (PC)

Can’t imagine that’s a very exciting game. ‘Press A to pass salt. Oh no, you’ve dropped gravy on the table linens!’

I'm really disappointed that's not what it sounds like.
<28> Disco Elysium (Steam/PC)
<465> RTX 2070 Super

oops

what can I say? Disco Elysium runs like crap in 4k and it's a freaking isometric game. It tipped me over the edge.

It plays well with your mobo and CPU I trust!

Should do. The rest of my PC is more up to date than the 970 I’m using (i7-7600, Z370.)

Nice. I’m starting to think I need a new CPU as my i5-4690K is getting a bit long in the tooth now, and seems to be the bottleneck if I have any issues.

How is this? I'm very tempted.

Based only on the first hour or so, fantastic. See the What's Everyone Playing? thread.
<458> RTX 2070 Super
<111> Lian Li case, 256gb SSD and 6 cheap RGB fans to complete leftover parts bedroom PC.

I would have to buy more controllers!

But, yes, this is A Plan
<3.11> Party Hard (Xbox One). Someone recommended this to me earlier and I noticed it was 70% off, so I thought I'd give it a go.

From Wikipedia: "In the game, players assume the role of a serial killer who infiltrate several parties with the objective of killing all attendants without getting caught."

The small graphics are tough on my ageing eyes, but it's a fun little game.
It's fun for a while but gets boring really quickly I found. Not least because your can spend ages in a level only for the wheels to come off unpredictably near the end and the restarts feels like quite a punishment. A very very good idea that could've been much better implemented I felt.

Although I've only played the first four levels, I can certainly see what you mean. It's a nice diversion from The Binding of Isaac at least.
