- Comment on Is there any (single player playable) game under $10 or equivalent which has made you point any go "ha" or given you an equivalent feeling because it was that enjoyable for every moment you played it? 5 days ago:
I bought Hollow Knight for €7,50 logn while ago and it was such an amazing game. Loved every second of it. The characters, story, world-building, it’s all immensely well done and you can notice it’s done with their hearts-content.
Another game that I bought on sale, that was below the €10 were the Ori games. The story was incredibly good (especially of the first game), got me teared up at the end lol. and liked the platforming too. Preferred the combat of the second game though.
Quantum Break is another one I bought on sale below €10; The story was decent but got me thinking ‘‘imagine people found an actual way to do this’’.
- Comment on What game surprised you with their length? 6 days ago:
Honestly, that’s a real bummer. I hope it’s a timed exclusive (so with time it will be on PC too).
- Comment on What game surprised you with their length? 6 days ago:
I got surprised by DeathStranding.
Did not expect that a game that’s basically about going from A to B through walking could be that lengthy, having great scenery and a weird, vague but good story.
I’m really excited for its sequel, just hoping it will also be available for PC on release.

Shit like this always pisses me off.
I had this once happen few years ago with university books. Got emailed that it was delivered but I didn’t receive it and was home all day. Got them the day after.

Is there a workaround for the people who are in the US when and if this happens?
I can imagine sideloading(?) but how about the less tech-savvy people?
- Comment on Citron is yet one more Switch emulator appearing online 4 weeks ago:
I’m hoping that at least one of them grows in development once the Switch 2 and its games arrived.
- Comment on Taylor Swift Fans Are Leaving X for Bluesky After Trump’s Election 5 weeks ago:
I really wanted to like Mastodon (never used Twitter) but my main issue with it are;
- Blocking NSFW does not work properly.
- Continuously see different languages.
- Uncertain how it works (not sure who to follow or which communities/ topics).
- Comment on Guy Who Taunted Nintendo About Streaming Pirated Switch Games Before Release Now Faces $7.5 Million Lawsuit 5 weeks ago:
No sympathy, it’s his own fault. Sure, enjoy pirates games but don’t taunt, stream and publicly shout where to get them.
Enjoy leaked games in silence and talk about it once it hits official release date.

Never heard of Frostpunk, how’s the game?
- Comment on I think Sims is a dead franchise now 2 months ago:
I have really big hopes for this game, I’m worried to be disappointed. The character creation demo seemed good.
- Comment on Jedi Survivor could have been great 2 months ago:
Glad to read this post, tampering my expectations for Jedi Survivor.
I’m currently busy with Fallen Order and struggling to push through it. Platforming is fun but (for me) the story feels a bit meh and the map is awful. Debating to put down Fallen Order and just jump into Jedi Survivor directly. Since people told me, it isn’t necessary to have played the first game.

Bit by bit playing HellBlade 2. The game is amazing however, the story and atmosphere is so strong (for a lack of better word) that I need downtime after playing it for an hour. It’s so dark and these voices gets to your own head sometimes, especially when playing with headset.
Recently started Warhammer Space Marine 2. A fun hack ‘n slash to just play after study, work or just general a long day.
Debating to purchase Persona 3 Reload when it is on sale. I played and loved Persona 5 Royal, clocked in 124-125 hours into it. I heard mixed stories about Reload, great character but lackluster dungeons and less social elements.
- Comment on Just finished Alan Wake 2 3 months ago:
I’m debating to play ‘‘The Final Draft’’. I read its basically the same game but with a slightly more story regard the ending of the game. I did not notice/ know that;
spoiler
The three stories were written by Wake to escape prior Alan Wake 2 story. I probably have missed that somehow.
I unfortunately never played any Max Payne games, are they worth to get into?
- Comment on Just finished Alan Wake 2 3 months ago:
The gameplay is similar/ the same. You have a light and a gun/ shotgun. Though the game is much more about the immensely dark atmosphere, storytelling and characters played in it. Honestly the game has some great shock-moments. I played it in PC with mouse and keyboard and the controls were (butter) smooth in my opinion.
Don’t forget the very first Alan Wake was released in 2010. So the gameplay will fill dull and lackluster in comparison to todays gaming standards. It’s unfair to compare the two games due to the amount of years and technological advancements of today.
You can watch a video or read synopsis but you’ll do yourself a disservice.

Still playing Alan Wake 2 and it stays an amazing game. I’d think I’m close on ending the game though. Spoiler tagging just in case
Tap for spoiler
I already nearly finished Saga’s storyline, all I have to do is the ending story for her. However currently busy with Alan’s story side before finishing Saga’s.
I abandoned Hogwarts Legacy because after 4 hours, I found it immensely dull. The story is boring, the gameplay is boring and didn’t find the exploration satisfying.

I guess after playing Alan Wake 2 and its DLC, I’ll replay Control with the DLC and await the sequel to Control.

The only thing that could get me a little bit of LeagueOfLegends feeling is Hades 2. Though not even that can give me similar dopamine as LeagueOfLegends does.
I honestly think there’s no replacement for it unfortunately. So I suppose, got to just detox and get used to the lower dopamine from games (speaking about myself).

- Recently finished Cyberpunk 2077. For all its hype, I found it a mediocre/ generic game.
- I’m trying to get into Baldur’s Gate 3 but it seems, it just is not my type of game (first D&D). Might also have to do with the fact, I tried to replace LeagueOfLegends with Baldur’s Gate.
- (re)playing Last of Us 1 (remake version on PC). Stays a great game.
- Debating whether to quit Returnal and another game such as Alan Wake 2 or Hellblade 2.
I’m also trying to find a isometric/ top-down game to replace LeagueOfLegends with. But no luck.
- Comment on What the Switch 2 has to get right 5 months ago:
Haven’t checked the video because the comments say enough. Though perhaps here are two takes;
- Make prices decent and not €70 for a 8 years old game.
- Decent hardware that allows at least 60FPS.
- Have decent joycons (I keep reading that there are issues with it).
Though, doesn’t matter for me. Will never purchase a console or game from that shit company. Rather put on the eyepatch for this company.
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of June 23rd 5 months ago:

I’m confused. I thought people need PSN link for multiplayer and can play the single player without it.
Though still a shit move and I’d say sail the high seas 🏴☠️

Source of the last point?
Find a Reddit thread that’s about the current war between Israeli government and Hamas. I’m not going to search for these threads, got enough of Redditors behavior. Just google something along the lines of ‘‘Israel-Hamas war’’ and you’ll find upon the threads, just take a solid minute or two and you’ll notice the comments.
Here’s a thread from several months ago that adresses it as well: Can we all just agree that killing civilians is bad and cheering it is repulsive?

Anything you want from Reddit - use an RSS-feed. Reddit itself is not worth to use at all.
All you currently see is:
- Drama (writing awful stuff to each other).
- Ragebait.
- Terrible memes
- Bots karma farming
- Bots trying to steer political things.
- People cheering on deaths of innocent civilians.
- Comment on Hades II is now available in Steam Early Access! 7 months ago:
If you really don’t have much time to game, I’d still say try to wait. It’ll be more fleshed out later on and perhaps out of EA(?).
