Still on GTA Online (send help) with friends. We‘re doing the Criminal Masterminds challenge but we‘ll probably be done next week and then it‘s onto other games.
- Comment on When was the last time you actually laughed while playing a game? 2 days ago:
Yesterday when I played GTA Online with a friend cause the stuff the heist givers say is so absurd, I love it
- Comment on 6 days ago:
Is this by the same people? The studio seems different but you never know… Wishlisted for sure, didn‘t even know this was being made
- Comment on Day 460 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 week ago:
I‘ve gotten Zomboid as well, haven‘t had the time to try it yet though. Any tips for a complete clueless beginner?
Also, crazy how you‘ve kept these posts going!
- Comment on similar to the word of mouth post, what game did you not expect much from but loved it? 1 week ago:
Funny enough, 5 hasn‘t really clicked for me yet cause there‘s no icon spam on the map I can checkmark LOL. Hope you‘ll have a good time with em!
- Comment on similar to the word of mouth post, what game did you not expect much from but loved it? 1 week ago:
Probably Slipstream. I just bought it cause cheap and it turned out to be an absolute vibe.
Also, Far Cry 3. Turns out I don‘t mind putting checkmarks on collectibles and just find it oddly relaxing.
- Comment on They say word-of-mouth marketing is the most effective form of marketing. What games did you (not) enjoy that came well-recommended by friends to you, and why did they recommend it to you? 1 week ago:
For me it‘s Darkest Dungeon. I just don‘t enjoy „scraping by,“ I like to take care of and connect with my party, and that‘s just not the kinda game it is. It‘s just bleak everywhere, by design and fully intentional; and just not my thing.

I think artificial scarcity in survival horror is kinda annoying. A flashlight burning through batteries as if it was a battery-powered oven is just an eyroller to me, the dude having the stamina of someone who‘s just woken up from a decade long koma doesn‘t help my enjoyment either. It just makes it annoying to me to play. I know it’s meant to make me feel weak and scared but I’d prefer if they could realize that in other ways.
The story was alright though IMO. I enjoyed the town sections the most.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 2 weeks ago:
I‘m still playing GTA Online (legacy) with a couple friends. Sadly, we were unable to do 4 men heists so far, we tried looking for a random fourth but we got kicked due to „inactivity“ while searching for someone cause it took too long; seems kinda dead.
- Comment on Massive Pokemon leak purportedly covers next-gen games, scrapped ideas, and more 2 weeks ago:
The only alternatives I‘ve played were Nexomon and TemTem, and Nexomon‘s grind sucked the life outta me, especially when they pulled a „oh nonono, this new region has different levels you have to grind from 0!“
TemTem was pretty fun in co-op though… even though I had to play with a VPN for the first time in my entire life cause somehow players wouldn‘t move on my screen with my „raw“ connection. No game has ever done this before nor has any game acted like this since lol, completely weird.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 3 weeks ago:
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: 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 4 weeks 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.
- Comment on New EA Owners Hoping AI Will Cut Costs And Boost Profits, It's Claimed 4 weeks ago:
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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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

Can‘t wait for this bubble to burst
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 5 weeks ago:
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' 1 month 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 1 month ago:
Yes, those are lagspikes from the server IIRC.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 month 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 1 month 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? 1 month 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 1 month 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!
