GTA Online, not sure if I‘d recommend it, but I‘m having fun with friends since I’ve never done the heists before and not having to play in toxic pub lobbies anymore is a boon
- Comment on Oblivion leveling guides be like: 5 days 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)
- Comment on Recommendations for the current sale 5 days ago:
Cheap all-time-low price tag games (according to SteamDB) that I‘ve played myself and can recommend:
Slime Rancher
Broforce
My Friend Pedro
Dust: An Elysian Tail
Poly Bridge 2 (also the first one)
Clustertruck
Risk of Rain (the old one)
The Swapper
Rogue Legacy
McPixel 3 (also the first one)
Overcooked (also the second one)
Party Hard
Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince (and other series entries)
Train Valley
Minit
All of these are of varying genres so probably most of them aren‘t everyone‘s cup of tea, but maybe one or two are gems that you hadn’t heard about yet. List isn‘t conclusive, obviously, but I don‘t wanna spam too much.

Interesting, thanks for sharing
- Comment on Fans Left Speechless as Capcom Locks Street Fighter 6 Finals Behind Paywall 1 week ago:
I cannot fathom how this move is better for them than a larger audience with baked-in ads. This isn‘t some huge event with mainstream appeal. I‘d hope they ran the numbers, but nowadays I‘m not so sure.

If that‘s their big plan… well, I hope the IPs find smarter homes after EA goes bankrupt
- Comment on Steam Autumn Sale 2025 Has Begun 1 week ago:
I have…
Just Shapes & Beats Nine Sols Smushi Come Home CATO: Buttered Cat Is This Seat Taken? GRANBLUE FANTASY: Relink Ballionaire Pepper Grinder Like a Dragon: Ishin!
…in my cart, but considering I‘m unlikely to get around to any of them this year, I‘ll let them sit in the cart throughout the sale and see whether I’ll pull the trigger on anything.
- Comment on EA Close To Sale That Would Take The Company Private 1 week ago:
Yeah, but that‘s usually stakeholder-driven. Of course, it could be all the same if and when they go private, but this move just seems unprecedented to me so it‘s interesting to observe if it does have any impact in this regard.
- Comment on EA Close To Sale That Would Take The Company Private 1 week ago:
I‘d certainly be interested to see if that‘d change any of their exploitative practices like FUT. Also hopefully that brings Codemasters back to old form… And please bring old online services back up cause money doesn‘t seem to be the issue then lol
- Comment on Borderlands 4 Dev Gearbox Asks PC Gamers to Wait 15 Minutes for Shaders to Compile in the Background While Playing After Reports Indicate Recent Update Causes Stuttering - IGN 1 week ago:
If all the shaders are compiling in the background and it‘s stutter free (minus traversel stutters, I guess) after that, I actually find that reasonable. If I can get rid of stutters by idling in the game for 15m while doing something else, then sure.
But I have a hunch that it‘s still not a smooth ride after.
At least this is the most reasonable thing I‘ve heard from GB since release lol

Well, the Octopath Traveler theme plays in its main menu and it‘s an absolute banger

Assassin‘s Creed: Rogue
I‘m playing some AC Rogue and while I like the AC4 style gameplay… I had completely suppressed the memory of the shaking sprint camera, it bothers me sooo much

I‘m still playing Peak, if the stupid tomb opens today, I could get the last achievement! The next update is already in the works though, lookinf forward to it.
Aside from that, my friend‘s back in town so we‘re also trying to finish Children of Morta. We have freed the three dudes, so I think we‘re close to the end.
- Comment on Randy Pitchford Snaps Back at Borderlands 4 Criticism: 'Code Your Own Engine' 3 weeks ago:
Cheaping out on optimization is one thing, telling customers to basically eat shit if they have a problem with it is… something that‘s not gonna have any major consequences nowadays, I guess lol
What a time we live in
- Comment on Borderlands 4 Launches To Mostly Negative Steam Reviews Over Performance Issues And Crashing 3 weeks ago:
Yes, those are lagspikes from the server IIRC.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 4 weeks ago:
I‘ve decided it‘s time to catch up in the gacha games I‘m playing, all stories have been pretty good so I‘m having a good time in Genshin/Zenless/WuWa
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
All of them could do with native res and 60 fps, I hope that‘s not something that needs serious engineering power…
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 4 weeks ago:
I‘ve been playing Legend of Grimrock which had been collecting dust on my account for ovet a decade, and I can now confidently say that these kinda games are not for me lol
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Others: Hopefully a new Mario or Zelda game, that‘d be so hype!
Me: Hopefully Switch 2 updates for all Xenoblades, that‘d be so hype!
- Comment on Gamers frustrated as Hollow Knight: Silksong crashes stores on launch 4 weeks ago:
The appeal is that it‘s a great game with beautiful art that runs on just about anything for an affordable price with no modern fuckery attached.
But if metroidvanias aren‘t your thing, it‘s just not your thing. I‘m also not super obsessed with metroidvanias and played the first game a fair amount but that much, I do, however, get why people just want to hyped for something that doesn‘t spit in their face in return for once.

Putting the finishing touches in Alan Wake (the really old one). I‘m not much of a horror guy (and it‘s not much of a horror game), so mainly the story kept me going lol. Probably just gonna watch a playthrough of 2 to know how it continues.
Otherwise, I‘ve been playing some Peak with my gf and I really like it. The generated levels keep it fresh, the swap out only every 24 hrs gives ample opportunity to get familiar with the mountain. I wish it had DLSS and/or FSR though, the performance is abysmal for what it‘s rendering, the integrated „scaler“ looks pretty poor. My PC‘s screaming when I play this for no apparent reason lol
- Comment on Finished Inscryption two days ago and I am absolutely amazed (minor spoilers) 5 weeks ago:
I‘m gonna try to avoid reading any of this or the comments cause I have it in lib unplayed and don‘t wanna spoil myself…
BUT I have a question: I‘m really bad at handling horror games, Alan Wake had me uncomfortably tense with enemies being able to sneak up on me and it’s arguably not even much of a horror game. Is this game playable for me?
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 5 weeks ago:
I‘m gonna play Outpath when I have time solo and Peak with my gf. And I‘ll probably randomly boot up half a dozen other games if Outpath loses me.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 month ago:
I‘m gonna continue Salt & Sanctuary this weekend, which is basically 2D Dark Souls, like, heavily inspired by Dark Souls.
Other than that, I‘ve picked Outpath back up which is Minecraft graphics combined with Forager gameplay, I suppose? It‘s hard for me to describe.
Maybe I‘ll start Peak with my gf if she wants to. She‘s kinda scared cause she read it‘s hard, I have no clue, I‘m going in blind lol
- Comment on Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater | Review Thread 1 month ago:
That 0.8 out of 10.0 from levelup is a typo, no?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I think it was Satisfactory, started and finished it this year and it‘s a big game. Any game outside of Steam I can‘t see the playtime so I wouldn‘t know.
- Comment on Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter adds Switch 2 version; ‘Prologue’ demo now available for PS5, Switch, and PC 1 month ago:
The original was one of my personal top 3 stories, really captivated me. Problem is that I still remember the twists and 95% of the game‘s charm is the plot to me so I won‘t get a remaster.
I envy anyone who gets to experience this for the first time with uptodate graphics.
I do hope they touch up those iceskate-y run animations though, they look super awkward compared to the rest shown lol
- Comment on Day 396 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 month ago:
I certainly think it is slower, especially with the absence of 200cc, but I also don‘t make much use of grinding/walldriving so I‘m likely a lot slower than I could be. I just generally like MK8 more since a lot of the tracks really have that „this is a filler track between tracks“ feeling to them for me. YMMV.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 month ago:
It happened to me towards the end as well, but thankfully reloading my savefile got me back on track. Your comment made me aware that just cause everything looks bizarre it‘s not necessarily intended and saved me from the same fate lol
