Was It made with the 'I am Jesus Christ' Developers?

Also checking out Games Incubator on Steam shows me some more games in development, are they even real?

No idea what their angle is, they might be throwing shit at the wall to see what gets some considerable interest and then they actually start developing it.
They really want you to add those games to your wishlist...
 
Friday the 13th the game shut down their servers. Now its peer to peer. If the host leaves the game the match ends. Now why this is a problem is because you have the survivors and you have the killer (jason). So if the host is a survivor he will probably quit if jason kills him therefore ruining the games for others. The same goes with jason. If the host is jason and the survivors are about to escape then jason might rage quit or just quit in spite so that the survivors match ends and noone wins or loses. And the survivors get no xp.

Now for a game i recommend; Bastion. I played it about a year ago. 23k reviews on steam (overwhelmingly positive)
I never see anyone talk about or recommend this game. Found it on a steam game ranking website. I enjoyed it very much.

Controversial opinion: DmC wasn't nearly as bad as people acted like it was.

It's less the game itself (outside of the poor writing and set pieces), because the game was pretty damn good if you were playing on PC or the definitive edition. I'm a stickler for action games being 60fps. But it's more the "politics" and timing that made it so hated. It was during the era most call the "Dark Age of Capcom" where Keiji Inafune left, Capcom kept trying to appeal to the west, they cancelled Mega Man Legends 3 and ended up not a day later announcing Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3 which also happened to be 5 months after Marvel Vs Capcom 3 released, and right around the time that Street Fighter X Tekken would be announced and then soon after, become one of the biggest controversies Capcom would face thanks to their exclusive content based on preorder location, AND the On Disc DLC.

The only thing that can resolve that would be switching peers, if the main peer leaves then the game would picked the next one with a similar ping, the other resolutions would be using community servers by the fans

There's other games like Friday the 13th like 'Death by Daylight' and 'Hide or Die' Don't bother that game is dead, sad to see that, it had a good concept of a survivor becoming the killer unexpectedly. at least there's the game called 'In Silence'

Good for Friday the 13th for at least having the peer-to-peer option. It's always total lunacy when a game focused around multiplayer doesn't, and just dies when the servers shut down. Especially when they have single player content that's gonna get locked out, too, like Battleborn.

I have mixed feelings about Bastion. It seems like a good game, but it just didn't click with me. It was really popular when it was new, though, so I don't know why nobody discusses or recommends it. It also goes on sale for really cheap on like everything it's on.

I'm on the fence about Yakuza Like a Dragon, because while I want a turn based RPG, I'm not sure I want to do a billion unrelated non-RPG minigames to complete it like Kingdom hearts. It's like I'm deciding if I want to set aside 2 months to be finishing a single game, because while the main campaign is short, the bulk of the yakuza games have always been other things. Like in comparsion Final Fantasy 8 has a minigame with triple triad, but it's one minigame all throughout the game. Yakuza tends to have 7 or 8 minigames all related to entirely different game mechanics.

Been playing Noita.

Fascinating tech, as every pixel in the level has some kind of property and behaves in a unique way. Fire, water, gas, and oil are also simulated. Lots of neat interactions with these things create neat emergent combat scenarios, like an enemy accidentally tipping over a lantern and setting a cavern ablaze. The gameplay isn't half bad and revolves around this dynamic magic system where you're given wands with different properties, mostly accuracy, fire rate, recharge speed, etc. The kicker is that the wands don't do anything on their own and have slots that you put spells in, which allows you to "script" really interesting weapons. E.g., some spells you insert have triggers of their own, like "fires next spell after X seconds" or "fires next spell after hitting target", so you can make these really elaborate wands that fire off a magic missile that spawns a saw blade after it hits something which then spins off a laser beam. Some of them can get so creative that the entire game world just starts falling apart, like huge chunks of ice sheering off the ceiling and crushing stuff below it. Stuff like that. If you played old-school Liero then you'll have some feel for the weapons.

Good game if you can get it on sale.

An almost 20 minute long video about how someone got repeatedly pinged on Discord. The 'discord drama' tag is one of the biggest red flags you can attach to your video, pure cancer.

Finally beat this a few days ago, explosion immunity is my BFF. Good game but there's no way I'm going to try for the hidden endings given the bullshit they require.

Anyone have any good recommendations for something with strategic depth that works in short sessions? I'm getting sick of doomscrolling during downtime and need something I can tab into and out of quickly.
Slay the Spire and its myriad clones have been my standby but I'm kind of sick of deckbuilding.
