Really? Now I am old but should have started using a bit of paper way earlier than I did. You can squeeze out a couple of drips every time, try it, use a bit of paper.

Imagine if it will all be under water. We all fear and dread those under water temples in Zelda etc.

Oh yeah. Abiotic is a throwback to half-life in graphic sense. I love it and played it a lot with friends. Very well made game in all regards.
- Comment on What are your gaming highlights of 2025? 4 days ago:
I play a lot of games every year and nowhere complete anything so whatever I do complete they go into great games I recommend to friends.
Clair obscure expedition 33 was my highlight of the year. Long time since a game made me cry and laugh like this one. Completed chapter 2 but then I had enough but I want to return and look more at this and the next chapter.
No rest for the wicked is in EA but it totally captivated me for a couple of weeks. Had a lot of fun and looking forward to multiplayer and playing with my friends. I love that the devs are following their own vision and doing stuff a little bit different.
Reality Break. This one is a bit odd. I managed to buy the wrong game somehow but this was totally a hidden gem for me. No regrets and they had some big updates after I was done so I plan to return one day.
Metaphor Re Fantazio. My first game like this one and while I never completed it it made a mark.
Heart of the machine will get a small spotlight also. Very different game and something that I really have to visit again when it releases in 1.0.
I guess my 2026 will be a lot of revisits and (hopefully!!) less buying games. Another good overhaul mod of Factorio would save me a lot of money and Guild wars 2 occupies quite a bit of my gaming time.

“better off just buying a PC”.
It is a PC.

A lot of games get ruined from not going in blind. At least for me :/

Are you okay? I don’t either want to experience this but… Just checking.
- Comment on Gamepad for Linux Gaming? 5 weeks ago:
This. It costs more but you will have a controller that will last years. Have used 8bitdo pro2 for a couple of years after rage quitting the Nintendo pro whatever it is named to switch for its worthless d-pad. Recently picked up a 8bitdo pro3 and yes, it cost a lot but it will probably be my only controller for many years now. Buying something that breaks after a year will cost you more in the long run. It’s expensive to be cheap.
- Comment on Amazon cutting thousands of corporate roles [including video games] 1 month ago:
Dont think this has anything to do with how their game was going. Either that or this was already planned since a couple of months ago. New world recently gained a lot more players according to steam stats so it makes no sense to quit it now. Feel sorry for the devs even if the game wasn’t for me (never played it).
- Comment on Tech Talk: Improved Shadow Technology Lands in Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity – GuildWars2.com 1 month ago:
Hopefully they changed enough to have this run at the same fps. I just wish they could fix their game so it did t use the cpu so much. Even with a relatively new computer I have the same fps as on my old computer had and that thing is almost 10 years old :/

I read this and my only thought was “Factorio”. Oh well.

Finland seems like a reasonable country. Every now and then there are some good ideas from them in the news. Maybe time to learn Finnish and move.
- Comment on Switch 2 continues to break US launch sales records, selling more in its first three months than PS4 | VGC 2 months ago:
This is me. In my country it cost a lot more to buy here so i imported mine. I just wanted a new Mario kart but the new one kind of suck and donkey kong is… Well it is a game but not very interesting after the novelty has worn off. I play more on my steam deck and kind of regret the buy of a switch 2. Got a huge backlog of switch 1 games too but I never get to the TV to play, too much focus on the computer.

- Comment on Cause and Effect 2 months ago:
I repair stuff at work and this is my everyday almost. Check how stuff works, then try to fix it. Very good advice but most people are too lazy to even try to understand or explore today. When people seem interested at what i am doing i try to explain to them how I think and what I do or how stuff works. I love it.
- Comment on The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games 2 months ago:
Yeah, i bought it too when it came to steam but also donated about 50 dollars back around 2009 I think. It is worth it even if I don’t really play it any more.
- Comment on The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games 2 months ago:
Considering the hours you put in a good building game just about every one of them is “free”. But yeah, OpenTTD is great and a lot of fun. TTDX was my first PC game which was an instant buy (before I even had a computer but was getting one in a couple of months) after I saw a review on TV. The 90s was something else.
- Comment on Anon doesn't fit in 2 months ago:
As my steam account have almost 1800 games it is a bit hard to say. I buy a lot of indie games to experience new mechanics and gameplay. I fall back to Factorio every now and then and that is probably my most played non mmo. It just lacks consistency. I rarely play anything to the end or enough to get good at it.
- Comment on Anon doesn't fit in 2 months ago:
Damn. With a friend like you I would play a lot more paradox games. I like them but there is so many other games stealing my attention :(
- Comment on Anon doesn't fit in 2 months ago:
I play tabletop, paradox games, dwarf fortress and a lot of other stuff. I also play with lego and have played Warhammer etc, both fantasy and 40k and other miniature games.
I don’t buy or play a lot of AAA games if any at all. Large companies can fuck off.
What am I? An anomaly? :D
- Comment on In a week dominated by Silksong and Borderlands, co-op roguelike Shape of Dreams still managed to launch on Steam as an instant top-seller 2 months ago:
Why can’t a game you haven’t heard about be in the top sellers? I did hear about it a couple of weeks ago, played the demo and it was a no brainer for me to buy it.
How Steam measures whatever sells what I don’t know but it can be 15 minutes of fame for smaller studios also. If the game is good, it is earned imo.

I have no clue why it says MOBA gameplay because it is nothing like a MOBA unless there are multiple definitions on that term. The only thing is that you have 4 (5) skills?
Played the demo for like 8 hours which was enough for getting all my 5 chars to level 10 or more which feel enough to put on whatever in the skilltree.
Agree with the slow progress however but I don’t mind too much. I have a lot of fun with the game.

This doesn’t look good… I hope I am wrong but definitely not buying day one.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 3 months ago:
I am asking this as I am interested in how other people choose games and think about things but you choose games to buy by the looks of it or does gameplay mechanics play any role in it?
I have been playing games since 1988 so I have played a lot of stuff during my whole life but I have never considered only buying games of a certain genre or camera perspective etc. Gameplay is what catches me and the amount of indie games in my library is proof of this. That said I mostly play to see and experience different rules and mechanics in games. Very seldom I finish a game because once I figured it out it is probably dead to me as I find something new to play. There are exceptions of course. And yes, I know I have a problem 😂

I think they are out of keys. Doesn’t list the game any more, only the soundtrack.
