I love videogames, manga, music and art!

I struggle with many things but I try my best!
Been reading Dandadan, I feel most people know about that thanks to the anime, it's good!

Also read a bit of Witch Hat Atelier, very beautiful story about kids learning magic and growing as people, very curious to see where it goes

For some reason Sifu, Hardspace: Shipbreaker and Metal Hellsinger are connected in my head.

Guess it's the mid range price, with good graphics and unique gameplay

Random thought of the the day I suppose

Good games, very different from each other but worth trying!

Guess I'll link em all just cuz

Also swapped over to Waterfox after the Firefox AI plan announcement

No real complaints so far, seems about the same, profiles seem a bit nicer ui wise?

Maybe the AI bubble will burst and Firefox will reverse course but, god, why would I want AI in my browser, how does it benefit me

Absolutely agree, great game.

I feel it got buried by Skyrim like so many games did. People looked at this as a Skyrim "killer/clone" and dismissed it iirc.

Not that it plays the same at all, probably just bad timing/marketing

Almost Steam winter sale if anyone is looking to pick it up!
So it turns out this game rules. Idk why I hadn't heard of it before.

I guess people consider it kind of derivative but I don't know of anything else that fills the weird niche of "Oblivion if it were also Fable and God of War"

Detroit: Become Human is really cheap rn

Probably the best Quantic Dream game, not sure if that's a high bar but I had fun with it

I like that they leaned into replays instead of shy away from them by giving you a scene guide to see the different paths

NEVER MIND WE'RE BACK

I like that Warframe has more playtime than an idle game running in the background

Well guess I can't see my steam replay stats

Did this with God of War recently

Wanted to revisit it to wander in snowy areas with the BOY

I had already beaten it on normal so I thought "eh, why not hard mode" and I slowly started being miserable, so I dropped it to easy to just focus on the story and characters and take pretty pictures
Normalize playing video games on any difficulty you choose because you just want to have fun in the way that works best for you.✌️

Played a bit of Jusant

Very beautiful climbing game, reminded me of Rime, artstyle wise.

Didn't seem too tough from the hour or so I played, more a calm experience

Apropos to a post I'm not going to quote: no, you are not fucking obliged to battle the fucking right on fucking social media, or go to where they are. Why make yourself miserable shouting at bots (who don't care) or trolls (who get off on your misery). Make your fucking social media enjoyable, FFS.

The Final Fantasy 14 update to glamour is so nice!

You can just take pieces you like, put em together and say "this looks good!" and not worry about will it work for x, y or z class? or worry about levels

So much freedom and creativity is so encouraging for gear collecting too

Played the demo for Pragmata

Feels like a mix of death stranding look wise and movement wise?

Alan wake is probably the closest comparison to the combat?

You have to do a little hacking minigame to soften enemies up for damage

I did want to play more after so that's a good sign

Also watched the Monster Hunter movie with friends...uhm yeah that wasn't very good.

We kept hyping ourselves with stuff like "Oh are they gonna do the cooking meat jingle? Will they say so tasty? That'd be neat :D"

Nope. Such a nothing burger of a movie.

Play the games tho! On sale atm

Finished watching The Owl House yesterday

Absolutely amazing, highly recommended, probably joined Hilda (also big recommend) as one of my favorite modern cartoons 😊

Shame all the stuff surrounding the show and how Disney did it dirty

They made something amazing despite Disney blockheads

Also played this for a bit

Seems really interesting lots of System Shock vibes and an interesting mechanic where you basically take screenshots in game to remember codes from walls/notes
ZERO PROTOCOL on Steam
In this immersive sci-fi thriller, you will experience the atmosphere of classic 3D games as you solve puzzles, follow an intriguing non-linear storyline, and engage in battles with monsters.

Was sleeping during game awards so just took a scroll of news to see what was announced

Some neat stuff, alot of it just seemed too ethereal to get excited over yet, guess I've been burned too many times by hype

Still hope they all turn out good and people enjoy them!

I can still barely believe that PC Gamer let me write about Beyond Citadel as one of my first pieces this year.

Hell of a game and my recommendation needs to be accompanied by a flashing neon warning visible from orbit.
Beyond Citadel is a horny, ultra-violent retro FPS that I want to recommend to everybody and nobody
Smart, tactical shooting hidden under a veneer of unparalleled anime body-dismantling.

It’s never too late to bring it up.

It's still amazing how Snowrunner just keeps trucking along. The sheer depth of extra content in there is staggering, and it's always substantial; new regions with huge maps. Still going to be playing this in 10 years time probably.
SnowRunner turns 4+ years strong! 💪

With Y5 Season 1 coming early 2026, it’s the perfect time to look back. Which season is your all-time favorite?

Something I have to reiterate is that you are being straight up lied to about trans people and our healthcare on an unfathomable scale, this instance reporting is already being torn to shreds by other people commenting, but the frequency of this kind of reporting is astonishing, it's neverending.
You might think from the headline that this is a story about a trans kid suffering medical consequences from a large drug dose but nope! It is just an interview with an estranged father who is angry that his child happily transitioned.
