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

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

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 week 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.

I‘ve finished Neon White and I honestly think the hell rushes (especially with level shuffle) is where the game shines the most. I could‘ve saved myself some time skipping all of the story and wouldn‘t have missed out on anything IMO lol
- Comment on Day 560 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 week 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?
- Comment on PC game recommendation for my partner and I 2 weeks 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? 2 weeks 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

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

- Comment on Question about the Switch 2 port of Civilization VII: does it support multiple controllers for local multiplayer? 3 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
- Comment on Xbox 360 superfan amasses all 1,353 North American discs after two‑decade collection spree 4 weeks ago:
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
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 4 weeks ago:
Horizon Zero Dawn
Still not a fan. I find it very generic and soulless. Very pretty and robot dinosaurs but at the same time also very empty. One of those „find the colored ledge where the devs want you to climb - and nowhere else!“ games, had me run around a cliff a dozen times already. SPOILERS: That in the end they made an AI to fix extinction by AI to be screwed over by another AI again was funny tho lol. Anyway, gonna beat it now, I‘m basically at the end anyway, might as well. Forbidden West is practically off the table for me.
Schedule I
My gf wanted to try it so I said yes. What all the reviews don‘t tell you: If your connection is not top notch stable, the game loves to desync and eat your inventory without telling you at all. We had days where other games were fine but Schedule I would desync and/or dc every 2-5 minutes. When it works it‘s fun though. My gf loves cooking if you know what I mean.
I keep chipping away at Octopath Traveler (chapter 3s) and Titan Quest (works criminally well on Deck for being stitched on gamepad support) on my Deck before bedtime.

- Comment on Day 538 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 4 weeks ago:
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 Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 month ago:
Neon White
I think I‘m almost done, minus the rushes. I kinda dread handing in all the gifts cause the dialogue‘s been pretty bad but I also kinda wanna read it now that I’ve collected them all lol
SCARLET NEXUS
I can‘t really recommend it. It runs kinda poor for essentially looking like a PS4 game and the game’s whole movement and combat feels insanely awkward and clunky. The story‘s ok but yeah. I like anime games but this one‘s a stinker in my book. The systems just aren‘t coming together.
Deathloop
I don‘t really have an opinion yet (outside of the game seemingly randomly enabling/disabling settings like vsync for me). I‘m still confused about most stuff and haven‘t found my groove yet. Dishonored‘s for sure better though. But this might be alright. We need more immersive sims honestly.
- Comment on Steam winter sale is live. What patient games are you picking up? 1 month ago:
I seem to already have all the deep discounts I‘d be interested in… I currently only buy 80%+ discounts (if anything) since experience has taught me that anything lower than this will get there again very soon, so I’m not missing out by skipping now. I have like 200 untouched games anyway so I‘d probably just be throwing more on the pile… Gifts for friends are in the cart tho
- Comment on Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases 1 month ago:
Should‘ve probably clarified that I was talking about AAA games, the big budget big asking price kind of. Indie games usually run great.
- Comment on Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases 1 month ago:
I played like three games from this year. PEAK, MH Wilds, MK World.
The joy of playing older games is that they run well since they‘ve had years of patches and there‘s been years of faster hardware to power through most of the lack of optimization. And they‘re about a quarter the price. For running four times worse, new games also certainly don‘t look four times better.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 month ago:
I‘m playing Neon White and thankfully the gameplay manages to make up for the dialogue/voiceover or else I wouldn‘t last long in that game lol
- 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.

I‘ve mainly been playing Assassin‘s Creed: Rogue so far this week and the camera‘s been killing me. How did they end up thinking this was good or to not at least have an option to not have the camera on roller coster rails? Otherwise the game‘s alright but obviously the camera‘s with you the whole game whether you want to or not lol

I‘m wrapping up Crime Boss and I‘ve enjoyed my time a lot. Way more than with Payday 3.
Since we‘ve done all we could there, I‘ve been playing some Deep Rock Galactic with my friends and we‘ll probably hop onto Risk of Rain 2 soon as well.
