  Yeah, that DLC thing is custom for Steam, they‘re ALWAYS bundled with the main game, there’s no way for devs to not to, it‘s the biggest downside to hunting on Steam.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is immersion to you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  For me it‘s management stuff. What occupies my brain the most is Crusader Kings 3, always something interesting to do, I can always burn 6 hours on a session easy. There‘s always something to think about but it‘s also pausable.

  In 3D games, I need it to be stutter-free and smooth. I instantly see stutters (also because OLED screens flicker when there‘s a stutter) and it instantly takes me out. That’s probably my sole grievance with PEAK - the frequent stutters that take me out of it. I also need good sealing in-ears to shut out my surroundings. Oh, and no TAA blur…

  I have a pretty broad interest in game genres, so I can get immersed even in silly stuff like the Henry Stickmen Collection - it just can‘t be sad or dark.

  Oh hell ye. I‘ve been eyeing this game for a long time. Imma ask you how you like the game once you‘ve clocked in more hours. Are you planning to 100% it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC game recommendation for my partner and I⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My gf and I enjoyed:

  Stardew Valley Starbound Cook Serve Delicious 2 and 3 Out of Space Overcooked 2 Pizza Possum PEAK Biped Cat Quest 2 Cats Love Boxes Core Keeper Temtem

  These are the good ones that should run on anything; looking back at them I can‘t believe we‘ve played that many lol

  We‘re currently playing Schedule I but it‘s so buggy in co-op that I can‘t recommend it…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What challenge from a game isn't worth completing and what challenge from a game is worth completing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, it‘s videogames so any challenge that gives you the satisfaction of clearing it is worth it, any that doesn‘t isn‘t worth it. Could mean all of them are, could mean none of them are, and could mean anything inbetween. I‘m an achievement hunter so I go for those, but I‘m not super purist about it; if the challenge is to walk 40000km, I rubberband the controller lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft target audience when they play a good game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you play in offline mode (Steam Deck) Steam doesn‘t clock your playtime IIRC

  You‘d think they would‘ve shown more at this point if the release was this soon (assuming it‘s May this year and not next or the year after lol)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Question about the Switch 2 port of Civilization VII: does it support multiple controllers for local multiplayer?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it‘s just an old PC term for turn-based games where you play multiplayer on the same machine with the same peripherals. Basically, you play your turn, get up, let the next player take the seat in front of the monitor, they do their turn, etc… Since not everyone is playing at the same time, you can play together by playing in succession. „Hotseat“ as in passing the seat in front of the PC around like in hot potato, I guess lol

  Playing them all? Absolutely doable. Beating them all? If that means getting to the credits, also doable but a lot more time consuming. 100% them all? Probably not even theoretically possible anymore but also very, very unlikely to happen regardless if he‘s got anything else to do.

  I think he just wanted to have them anyway, not play them all. Like all those 2k+ games steam libraries I see people have lol

  I enjoy this „about games“ content a lot more than the „behind games(/the scenes)“ stuff or self-promos, and OP usually keeps it digestible and doesn‘t turn it into an essay. Not missing a day has been insane as well obviously

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your gaming highlights of 2025?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I‘ve sorted my library by release date, and there are five games which have released this year in it that aren‘t just remastered or early access which finally hit 1.0. Of those five I‘ve played three. Also of those five, three are indie games.

  Monster Hunter Wilds Poorly received across „enthusiasts“ as too easy of a MH game. I personally liked it a lot. The wounds mechanic is fun, focus mode is good but too much, performance is absolutely horrendous. One of the things I’ve always hated with MH are those stiff ass animations that made you miss combos by a cm, focus mode helps with that but now you can just 180 during a swing which is overkill IMO. I miss tracking monsters - which made me feel more like I‘m actually hunting game - as well as wallbanging them. The current mounting feels less interesting overall. 150 hrs played and they were a lot of fun with friends.

  PEAK Probably my GOTY (cause I didn‘t play much from this year anyway, see above lol). There‘s only one thing that bums me out: The game should have DLSS/FSR cause it‘s really heavy God knows why and the internal upscaler is meh. Otherwise, the most fun I had in a multiplayer game in a long time. Did ascension 7, unlocked all the stuff, gobble up every update, great fun with friends (also if solo but less so). 110 hrs, amazing game for less than ten bucks. Fuck those sencient tornados.

  Mario Kart World Idk, as the successor to MK8 it‘s kinda mid in comparisson. The feeling of speed, the racing flow, they‘re kinda missing. Lots of uninteresting filler tracks. Idk why this had to be an open world game. Some of its soul died for that. I got gold on all the cups but haven‘t touched it since. Pro tip: If you have trouble at max diff, stop drifting. The game ups the difficulty (read: rubberbanding) PER DRIFT, and it stacks up across the whole cup!

  They‘ve been so successful with singleplayer stuff but would somehow rather burn billions failing live services than sticking with them. They could‘ve put that money into several offline experiences and made at least SOME money but yeah, rather lose MOUNTAINS of money, I guess.

  How did that game pan out? Last I heard the hype died down pretty fast, I didn‘t follow it further.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have successfully (?) played (sometimes semi-suffered, cough, Sekiro) through a buncha popular hard games and have a way less „strong“ opinion on this but also think that an „easy mode“ as an accessibility feature is a good thing.

  If, for example, a parent wants to connect with their child and also experience that game they‘re playing, it‘s really no big deal to me if they could turn on easy mode in, say, Sekiro to stand a chance. Not like it‘d impact my own experience at all, and I don‘t feel the need to force them to go through my own experience either. In Celeste, for instance, you can literally fly through the whole game if it makes you happy, and yet I still grabbed all strawberries the normal way and don‘t care if others did as well or just flew to them.

  It‘s less of a demand from me and more of a „if you can you should definitely include it,“ though. Obviously doesn‘t work for full on competitive multiplayer titles or something similar though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Chromatic Aberration toggle Motion Blur toggle Distortion Effect toggle Vignette Effect toggle FoV slider DLSS/FSR implementation (cause fuck TAA)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What game is a guilty pleasure of yours?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Far Cry games at least until 4. I like mindlessly collecting 300 map markers sometimes. Funny enough, I don‘t like 5 cause there doesn‘t seem to be a collectibles map that lets me just move up and down the map collecting everything lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don‘t get why they’d cheap out on artists, a couple people drawing illustrations is surely not gonna balloon development cost - and arguably one of the easiest places to spot when it‘s AI slop. It‘s as if they think there must be gen AI stuff in the game somewhere or the game‘s worse or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My first thought was Minecraft. I‘m not sure if it‘s playable offline still but a google search makes me believe so.

  It runs on basically anything, and if the kids in question are still super young, there should be a peaceful/creative mode without monsters to scare them or survival mechanics to worry about, making it essentially just more complex LEGO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Horizon: Zero Dawn. I have yet to finish it but apart from robot dinosaurs, it feels so generically open world… Admitedly, a very pretty-looking open world. Can‘t really get into the story so far either since it takes itself so seriously while I‘m having a hard time not thinking too much about how ridiculous its world is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Massive Pokemon leak purportedly covers next-gen games, scrapped ideas, and more⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The only alternatives I‘ve played were Nexomon and TemTem, and Nexomon‘s grind sucked the life outta me, especially when they pulled a „oh nonono, this new region has different levels you have to grind from 0!“

  TemTem was pretty fun in co-op though… even though I had to play with a VPN for the first time in my entire life cause somehow players wouldn‘t move on my screen with my „raw“ connection. No game has ever done this before nor has any game acted like this since lol, completely weird.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oblivion leveling guides be like:⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Idk if someone from Bethesda said this or if it was just a Youtuber regarding the stupid ways to level up in Oblivion (like jumping around for hours), but: If that‘s how people enjoy playing the game, then let them. And I agree with this.

  Regarding abuse if game mechanics and not just bugs/glitches… I can only think of some Dark Souls bosses that can be baited into killing themselves by fall damage. For some it‘s clearly intentional (Iron Guard thing in Dark Souls 1), for some arguable (Dark Souls 2 the guy in the sunken area), and some clearly rather unintended (first real boss in Dark Souls 1 for example, it‘s really hard to do and when it happens the dude drops like a rocket lol)
