The math one totally stumped me.

Feel a bit silly for missing that last one.

The one that was like 2,3,6,7,8,14,15,30? If so, it was 8. It's because 6 is double of 3, 14 is double of 7, and 30 was double of 15. So the pattern was + 1, then double.

You have to make those settings public. That said, "You go to your profile > games > Wishlist." didn't make any sense to me when I was first trying to do this because I never log into Steam through the website and if there's a way to do it through the app, I couldn't find it.

You can find it the same way through the steam client on PC. You can also find it on the store tab, which I guess is the easier way. I just always do it through the profile for whatever reason.

On the Steam app I think it's under the store tab, though I'm not sure how you would get the link for it.

Did they change how profile privacy worked? I just looked and saw that you could set different parts of your profile to public/private. I swear a while ago it was only your entire account you could set to public to private (of course I did in once in like 2012 or something, and never went back so who knows when they actually changed it)

My specs aren't whizbang but it doesn't matter for most games I like. I'd encourage you to avoid games that rely heavily on (actual) mouse or controller but I can make them work if I need to.

You go to your profile > games > Wishlist.

Listing your profile does usually offer a way for other people to see it as well, but in your case... I can see everything except your games!

Galaxy >> Sunshine >>>>>> 64

64's camera made the game almost unplayable. I absolutely hated it.

Sunshine was a little janky and had a lot of dumb mini games to get Shines, but was an overall improvement and pretty decent as long as you don't go for 100%.

Galaxy was great, loved pretty much everything about it.

Abacus has beaten Kentucky Route Zero

I really liked the beginning of the game. The atmosphere, the characters, the exploration, and the melancholy. Around the end of Act III and beginning of Act IV though my enjoyment took a deep dive. I didn't like anything really to do with Conway's character as he was slowly phased out. I was hoping to see him deliver the goods. The thing with the house in Act V was pretty odd. I feel like there was some meaning behind it, but I never really get the hidden stuff from games or books.

Anyway

Nominating:

Final Fantasy Tactics
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
and since we're allowing renominations
Earthbound

Abacus has beaten Grim Fandango

So, overall I enjoyed the writing and the characters, but I really dislike how the game is basically really obscure/hidden puzzle after another with no real idea on where to go or what to do. As it was I ended up using a guide for the majority just because I got tired of wandering around. Some of them I'm not sure I would have ever thought about the right way to do it.

It's looking increasingly unlikely I'll end up replaying Grim Fandango (I dunno why my brain decided I needed to replay a ~50 hour RPG that I just played late last year, but here we are.)

What game did you start?

And yeah you can get through the game with any set of jobs; in fact, there's a yearly challenge (the Four Job Fiesta) where you're randomly assigned a set of jobs and clear the game with those.

I did the chaos run of the Four Job Fiesta... I didn't have anything except for freelancers until the 3rd crystal and never had a healer
