- Comment on What games did you sleep on for too long? 3 days ago:
From a casual standpoint: Hidden Object games. There‘s not enough good ones (and lots of games tagged as them which really aren‘t) and I find them so immensly relaxing.
Examples: Hidden Folks, Hidden through Time, varying sorts of 100 hidden Cats
Basically „Where‘s Waldo“. Really just wish there were more of them.
- Comment on What's the rarest Steam achievement you got? 3 days ago:
Something from a Cities Siylines DLC nobody played.
All of my 0.01ish% rarity cheevos are largely easy af things from DLCs or content updates of (somewhat) popular games that were released when most people had already moved on from these games
The really fucking hard stuff is usually around 0.5-3% (CoD BO3 zombies cheevos are insanely common for how hard they are)
- Comment on Do you consider GTA VI overpriced? 3 days ago:
Do I think it‘s objectively overpriced? No, it‘s the biggest game on the planet that will sell stupid amounts almost no matter what they do. I‘m actually surprised it‘s not 99.99
Do I think it‘s subjectively overpriced? Absolutely. I‘m not paying more than like 25ish bucks for a game. The games I paid more for (mostly launch games) I’ve come to regret the majority of. They mostly just sit in my library and become part of the already huge backlog.

Playing it currently and it absolutely does (1 did as well tho!)
- Comment on Lazy weekend with my Switch Lite and Octopath Traveler 6 days ago:
Amazing game(s). I played it for 3 hrs on my Switch and then bought it on Steam to play it on my Deck at full res 60fps cause I wanted to experience it the best way I could.
- Comment on Poll: Will you buy GTA 6 when it launches on your platform? 4 weeks ago:
I hardly buy anything on release, only the occassional indie.

I can really get behind your taste in games
- Comment on Day 702 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 month ago:
Same. I can watch others play them (and I love to) but being the one playing, I‘m basically in perma „I‘m about to get jumpscared“ ultra tense mode and don‘t enjoy it at all
- Comment on 1 month ago:
I guess the kinda games they make cost a lot of money and don‘t have the mass appeal to rake huge RoI in, still wish clearly talented studios like these could do their thing in a smaller scope under publishers that don‘t calculate MS kinda RoIs instead of just being closed down.
- Comment on Rayman Legends Retold - Reveal Trailer 1 month ago:
Loved the original and honestly… with its 2D art style, it might be the superior way to play the game IMO
- Comment on Releasing this week — May 26, 2026 2 months ago:
I was so hyped about 007 and then the previews came out: „It‘s about 30% or less Hitman and 70% Uncharted“
Well, not what I‘m looking for. Getting more Hitman is gonna be a long, long wait.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 2 months ago:
Competitive (e)sports are usually repetitive to a certain degree. I wouldn‘t call it very repetitive anyway. It’s mostly the same map, yes, but football and chess are also always on the same „map“. With 160+ champs and their interactions and the strategizing aspect of it, I never felt like a match was going like another.
The players are mostly insufferable (like in other competitive games) and League‘s too much of a timesink due to average game time.
- Comment on PS6 and Xbox Project Helix "will start at a 50% higher price" than PS5 and Xbox Series X, predict analysts following Sony price hike – and $999 "is not impossible" 3 months ago:
I don‘t think people who can‘t cough up 1000 bucks for a console will cough them up for a PC. They just don‘t have that kinda money to spend on videogames. It‘ll lead to people stickin with what they have and those who don‘t have anything (especially kids) will play games on their phones or doomscroll all day. So the ehole next gen might be crossgen and/or even tank the industry in general. That‘s my prediction.

It makes me happy during a very rough time seeing you still going strong with this series, crazy consistency
- Comment on Huge Nintendo Switch 2 Update Adds Handheld Mode Boost For Switch 1 Titles 4 months ago:
Have they done something about the panel‘s pixel response times? I was hoping they‘d eventually apply a small overclock to at least get 60 fps smear-free.

PEAK is literally peak. Such a gem.
- Comment on Xbox chief Phil Spencer is leaving Microsoft 5 months ago:
The term „AI art“ irks me, IMO it tries to legitimize the virtual theft that it’s based on by implying there‘s a creative, artistic process behind it. It‘s gotta be a lobbied term.
- Comment on Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition — Nintendo Switch 2 Edition — Announcement Trailer 5 months ago:
Next do 3 and a buncha Fire Emblem games and I might feel less buyers‘ remorse towards my Switch 2. I don‘t know why there isn‘t a buttload of Switch 2 upgrades, it‘s making money with patches.
- Comment on Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems. 5 months ago:
Shit‘s been fucking expensive before this year and most triple-A stuff ran like doodoo anyway. Now prices are just even worse and somehow that‘ll make the suits care? At best we‘ll get the same level of bad.
MH Wilds has been out for a year and today‘s patch pushed it to the bottom range of acceptable.
Even if somehow more money was put into engineering now, the argument would be weak but it‘s naive on its own merit already.
- Comment on Valve Acknowledges Steam Deck Shortages Due To Global Memory and Storage Issues 5 months ago:
I‘m pretty worried about my devices, ngl. I never really had a problem with PC components or consoles breaking, I‘m very careful with my stuff, but Murphy‘s law… Something will probably break just outta warranty and when a stick of ram gets me a car
- Comment on Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy 5 months ago:
You can go AAA for cheap no problem, people just need to not get FOMO‘d out of your minds and half-resist the compulsion to jump on the newest shiny thing immediately.
The newest DOOM is around 27 Euros rn and not even a year old. Buy on release - or worse yet, pre-order - and you‘ll get the worst deal (financially as well as technically).
Game prices are fine for me because I literally just wait until they‘re at a point where I don‘t see them as a waste. In the meantime, there‘s 203 untouched games in my Steam library that had reached that point in the past already. Not even mentioning the hundreds of games I got for free between GOG, Prime, and Epic.
- Comment on Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition out today 5 months ago:
Probably not very nostalgia but I wish they‘d pick up where Legends left off, that game was incredible
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
It wasn‘t meant as a blanket solution for the internet in general, but as a solution for high risk environments like Roblox. What exactly qualifies as a high risk environment is up for debate then, but that Roblox would be one probably not.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
I wish there was a system where parents get an app on which they have to approve friend requests for their children in these games and only people on their children‘s friendlist can read/hear them and be read/heard by them. And obviously only parents can send out requests. That way, parents could make sure only their kids‘ school friends can talk to them.
Obviously, they can‘t make new friends online then, but that‘s for when they‘re older…
- Comment on 5 months ago:
Since they didn‘t mention anything (and I assume they would‘ve if there was a change worth mentioning) and they already have the remaster and as such no reason to put money into the chunky version, it doesn‘t seem to be anything that makes the game better. I wonder if there‘s some weird distribution/licensing thing going on and they legally have to rerelease lol
- Comment on Bethesda x Nintendo Switch™ 2 — Oblivion, Fallout 4, and Indiana Jones Coming to Switch 2 5 months ago:
IIRC it had somewhere around 200ms input lag lol
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 5 months ago:
Crusader Kings 3, I know I‘ll look at the clock and get a panic attack, don‘t have time for that time machine right now lol
- Comment on Day 560 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 5 months ago:
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? 5 months 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.
- Comment on Day 560 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 5 months ago:
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?
