I think that’s just a concession from Nvidia, and they wouldn’t really have to pull any games from the service.
Yeah, lots of weapons you can to unlock, then level each to 12 once, before you can overclock.
He’s a weirdo, but I think it was just normal porn. Maybe it was some porn with magic tricks, since he’s into that as well.
I like the game and the DRG theme, but I’m not too big on how to (properly) unlock your weapons, it’s just a bit too convoluted for no reason.
Since you’re on PC, using cheats or potentially mods can expand the list of games you have available, since you might be able to just ignore certain aspects of a game, like combat, money or resources in general.
The more recent Assassin’s Creed games have something called a Discovery Tour, where you can just explore the world, without combat. They are partially meant for educational purposes and can teach about the different regions and history, and offer guided tours. I don’t know if there’s a real free roam, where you can just do whatever though.
You mentioned buying Goat Simulator, so maybe other of these “Simulator” games might be for you.
I don’t know how much you can go into houses, but Farming Simulator could be worth a look. Your kid can probably just explore the map and maybe even try some of the farming.
As someone else mentioned, Slime Rancher might be fun just to explore the world with the cute creatures all around, but there’s not really much or any buildings as far as I know (don’t know if the sequel has this stuff).
A Short Hike could be worth a look. You’re on a mountainous island / national park type deal and your main objective is to get to the peak of the mountain, but you can just explore, do some side quests, solve puzzles, etc. I feel like the screenshots on the Steam Store page for the game look really ugly, since it’s so pixelated, but that’s just a filter, that you can change in game (from smooth to really pixely).
The videos and articles about the game were pretty entertaining.
I don’t think there’s really any trolling going on (at least enough that it matters), just that people vote for what they know or recognize, like you said a popularity contest. Three of the titles in the Innovative Gameplay section are pretty niche, no matter how good they are. Even Remnant 2 is dwarfed by Starfield sales, so the latter just becomes the default choice for most people.
If there was any other big name AAA title on the list, I think Starfield could have lost.
This year you could skip a category, and it would still count towards the badge / stickers / whatever, but I don’t think that was made clear at a glance. It was explained in the FAQ, but who reads that, when you could just click whatever and be done?
Maybe that was just for the nominations though, I don’t remember checking for the actual vote.
But you still need an SSD to match the cheapest OLED model, not to mention all the other small improvements (and not so small) you’re missing out on.
So, unless you just want to tinker, in my opinion this doesn’t make sense anymore, since the OLED was released. Unlucky timing from the company that made / sells this screen.
