I don’t know what I’m doing but I’m here now…
- Comment on Bi-weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 6 hours ago:
State of Decay 2, I’m not normally one for zombies but so far so good. I need to convince my wife to join as it could be more fun in co-op.
- Comment on Witcher 1&2 are probably worth playing 16 hours ago:
I was looking at these just yesterday. I’ve not played any (but have all 3 in my GOG from freebies) and the age and look of TW1 kinda put me off but you’ve convinced me to give it a go.

No thank you Sony.
- Comment on Retro Streaming Platform Antstream Adds Five Net Yaroze Games to Its Lineup | Tech Raptor 3 days ago:
Psycho and Gravitation are the best ones.
- Comment on What are your favorite 1000+ hour games? 3 days ago:
I have one game with 1000+ hours and that is Squad. It’s the only online game I play anymore as it is the only game that has teamwork/communication (it takes be back to Battlefield 2 days) and none of the shit like battle passes etc.
My gaming habits are just playing lots and never finishing anything… but I have fun still.
- Comment on You Pay For It, We Own It - Sony's $7.9B Lawsuit 5 days ago:
I agree with all the replies I’m getting but people are literally going round in circles with the outrage over digital licenses.
Buy physical, backup your media, download illegally or do what you need to do to show businesses that things need to change.
- Comment on You Pay For It, We Own It - Sony's $7.9B Lawsuit 5 days ago:
You did buy something, a digital license that comes with it’s own terms.
I agree with you by the way but it’s been 20 years and people still act surprised about this stuff.
- Comment on You Pay For It, We Own It - Sony's $7.9B Lawsuit 5 days ago:
I’m all for these lawsuits etc but people need to wake up to the fact they don’t own anything digital, it’s been this way for years now so no excuses.
- Comment on In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment? 3 weeks ago:
I’m not particularly a fan of either re-makes or full remastered but I’m a big fan or, for example, when Xbox upgraded the resolution and FPS or backwards compatible games.
- Comment on In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment? 3 weeks ago:
Future Cop L.A.P.D
I can get behind this. FC hold up very well and is an amazing game that I think is mostly forgotten by now.
- Comment on Whatever happened to racing games 3 weeks ago:
Wreckfest multiplayer is great. Getting in to 1st position makes me sweat just trying to survive the carnage! It normally ends badly but it’s so much fun.
- Comment on Whatever happened to racing games 3 weeks ago:
There were many great racers around the Xbox 360 era and before. I feel like since then I can count on one hand the amount of good ones.
I think it just not as popular anymore but then also if they don’t make them we can’t play them!
Wreckfest, Circuit Superstars, Art of Rally, EA WRC are some excellent newer games to try.
- Comment on how can i self host my music? 3 weeks ago:
Plex is good and the Plexamp app for music is excellent.
- Comment on Help Curating Game List for Gift 3 weeks ago:
F-Zero GP Legend Tekken 3
It’s a tough one. The list could be endless!
- Comment on Patient gamer philosophy 1 month ago:
The question can be asked for most things in life really so just do both options. Generally I’m a “value for money” gamer now but If something catches my eye I will make an effort to support it.
- Comment on What is your favorite retro console? 1 month ago:
!dreamcast@lemmy.world
Definitely underrated and also failed so hard. Will always be my favourite though.
- Comment on Which is better: Gran Turismo or Ridge Racer? (PS1) 1 month ago:
Very different games but I would say Gran Turismo is better.
I do like Rage Racer more than both of these though.
- Comment on The Most Loved Video Game Character in Every Country 2 months ago:
large sample of tweets analysed by AI
Basically it’s nice to look at but completely useless.
- Comment on Sony announces the PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling 2 months ago:
That’s a lot of money for a generation that just isn’t worth it.
- Comment on Happy 25th Anniversary, Sega Dreamcast! 2 months ago:
Spending hours online either on Phantasy Star Online or in the Dreamarena chat rooms.
Getting Shenmue and Shenmue II on launch days was a special time.
- Comment on Any good games that break the mold 2 months ago:
The Long Dark
Survival game set in the cold Canadian wilderness. Most “survival” games are actually just boring crafting games but TLD is very different for me as it is mostly about exploring in the freezing cold with natural predators around to keep you on edge.
- Comment on Worms Armageddon Anniversary Edition: A Retro Revival | Retro Gaming News 24/7 2 months ago:
It’s been a few years but I remember some unofficial patches that improved the game for modern times.
- Comment on Star Wars Outlaws: Reviews are coming in 2 months ago:
Looks kinda promising but I need to wait for the real reviews.
- Comment on Gearbox founder says Epic Games Store hopes were “misplaced or overly optimistic” 2 months ago:
I’m not going to argue my point any further but I will say, use it all for what you want. Absolute loyalty, which you seem to have, is pointless.
- Comment on Gearbox founder says Epic Games Store hopes were “misplaced or overly optimistic” 2 months ago:
I like the fact they tried to compete with Steam from the begining. I have a large library of games and some real gems that I wouldn’t normally look at.
EGS is ok, GOG is ok and also Steam is just ok to for what I want from a store/launcher.
No digital game store is worth your loyalty.

Actually looks like a nice bit of kit but not for £20.
- Comment on What’s a game you can 100% without hating by the end? 2 months ago:
I don’t think I’ve ever 100% a game. I don’t care about achievements and I’ve finished the campaign/story on many but I rarely go back to any.
- Comment on What were your (now retro, but not at the time) gaming wow moments 3 months ago:
Biggest for me would be going online with the Dreamcast. At home I was online with the DC before we had a PC so used it quite a lot.
I probably spent to much time on Dreamarena chat rooms and playing PSO with randoms.
- Comment on Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 - Early Reviews Are In And It's Looking Good 3 months ago:
It’s looks really promising but we all know (like every game nowadays) to wait until release week.
I started another playthrough of Space Marine this week in anticipation though.

Thanks for this.
