- Comment on Years later, I finally completed Kingdom Come Deliverance 4 hours ago:
I really like the game for a lot of the reasons you mention! I don’t like most fantasy games, so it was really nice to finally find a immersive sword based RPG that I could really enjoy. I’ve dumped so many hours into it since it came out, and I managed to finally 100% the achievements recently! I’m really looking forward to the sequel.

If you’re on PC it’s fairly easy to install a unlimited save mod, that might be a nice QOL option for you.
If you’re using a console, Savior Schnapps can be fairly easy to brew with a bit of practice. Still not a perfect option for what you’re talking about, but saving every hour or so can be a big timesaver.
- Comment on Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week? 1 week ago:
Another convert! Once the game mechanics clicked with me it’s been the most immersed I ever remember being in a game.
- Comment on In part because it reminds me of TOS:”The Cage”, I’m hooked on *The Prisoner* 2 months ago:
I’ve never heard of this show, but from what you’ve said and the quick research I’ve done it sounds like something I would be interested in. Thanks for the mention of it!
- Comment on GE-Proton 9-12 released with fixes for Star Citizen, Bully: Scholarship and more 2 months ago:
I haven’t played it since this release, but I would maybe ask in the Star Citizen LUG Matrix or Discord if you haven’t already. They’ve helped with some questions I’ve had.

Congratulations on the marriage! It was quite a change for me, but a good one for sure.

I had been talking with someone else on here about trying EVE in that playstyle a while back! I never tried it, but it always sounded interesting. Logistics sounds like it could be an interesting thing to try in Foxhole, I may need to give it a go.

True, that would be better. I was just going to watch them two nights in a row, but I might do that instead!

Is anyone here planning to watch the episodes over the time they’re supposed to occur? I’m thinking of watching part 1 tomorrow due to it being the date on the calendar onscreen, and part 2 the next day.
- Comment on Interesting to see how dead the MMO genre has become. Are there still players around? 2 months ago:
Okay, thanks for the information! I appreciate the offer, I’ll have to keep that in mind if I decide to get it. I think the logistics end of the game could be a lot of fun.

I generally just don’t play a lot of online games anymore. I have a job where I have to deal with people all day, so the last thing I want to do is go home and deal with angry people while I’m trying to relax!
I do play some Elder Scrolls Online and Star Trek Online, but I primarily do single player content. The normal extent of my interaction with human players is to help them if they need help, or to thank them if they help me.

I keep looking at Foxhole, but I’ve never tried it yet. Is the non combat segment of the game pretty chill overall? I’m not really a big fan of competitive MMOs, but the behind the scenes aspect does interest me. I hear about a decent amount of positivity in the playerbase, but I’ve definitely heard negativity about the recent state of the game.
- Comment on What's your favourite Star Trek theme? 2 months ago:
My favorite theme is definitely Deep Space Nine!
Favorite scene is a little harder though. I’ll probably have to go with the montage scene in the last DS9 episode, which had a slow instrumental medley of The Way You Look Tonight and the DS9 incidental music.
I also think the scene in DS9: The Siege of AR-558 where Bashir is playing the recording of I’ll Be Seeing You is really good too. It works even better on a rewatch after you see how important the song becomes to Nog.

- Comment on What is the Evercade lineup like? 3 months ago:
Also, here’s a video that gives you an idea of what the menus and customization options look like, although this is the older version of the home console. Not sure if they changed anything on the new ones. I would most likely buy one if I didn’t already own a lot of my favorite games, and I may still buy one anyway just to have something nice and simple to hook up and play.
- Comment on What is the Evercade lineup like? 3 months ago:
Value is going to depend a lot on your preferences, but it does seem like a nice system for the price. I don’t personally own one at this point, but I have had the chance to play some games on the EXP, and in my opinion it’s a pretty good experience. Keep in mind that you’ll probably never see Nintendo and Sega specific titles on it, but there are a lot of good games outside of that. It’s probably going to come down to if it has games that you like.
- Comment on What is the Evercade lineup like? 3 months ago:
As in what games are available for it?
- Comment on Extended Clip | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season 3 3 months ago:
This show seems to only get wilder with every season! I’m here for it though. Now we just need seasons every year, and preferably more episodes too.
- Comment on Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales? 4 months ago:
I’m amazed by how well many games run on the Deck. You obviously can’t have every graphic setting cranked, but it’s still pretty good.
I’m not sure of the reasons why other people don’t like the games, but for me it’s primarily just not being pulled into the story and world. So far I’ve tried Horizon: Zero Dawn, Spiderman Remastered, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves, and God of War, and the only one I actually finished and liked was Uncharted. Horizon I liked the gameplay and world fairly well, but the story was a bit boring. The others I put a number of hours into and quit because I wasn’t enjoying myself. I didn’t have super high expectations of any of them, so I don’t think it’s that. They may just not be my kind of game anymore, although I do like some games that are somewhat similar.
- Comment on Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales? 4 months ago:
Yeah, it can be frustrating in times like that.
- Comment on Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales? 4 months ago:
Oh yes, those are a lot of fun! It does add a lot to the game. Just a warning, I’ve found them to be a bit buggy at times, so I would recommend doing a save before taking one. They may have fixed it since I took one though.

I would have a problem with a game that sells premium bullets, because as I said in my previous comment, it gives an actual gameplay advantage when playing against other players. Which means it’s what I would call pay to win, and means I wouldn’t play it. To this point I’ve played several free to play games fairly extensively, but never spent a cent on them.
You have a different definition of pay to win than the other poster and I do, and while I don’t agree with it, that’s fine. My primary purpose for responding to your comment was to try to explain what they were referring to. I’m not trying to start a big argument over a game that I don’t even play, so I won’t be going any further with this.
- Comment on Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales? 4 months ago:
That’ll bring you quite a few hours of enjoyment I’m sure! I’ve got a lot of hours into both of those games.
- Comment on Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales? 4 months ago:
You can pay to get things done more quickly, but you don’t have to pay to win. It just takes more time. From what I hear from players of the game, there’s no actual gameplay advantages locked behind a paywall, only cosmetic items. They obviously want you to pay to proceed faster, but it doesn’t appear to be like some games that make free players use lower tier weapons and items. You can earn all gameplay items through grinding it out and never need to spend any money.

I never got into Fallout either, although I only ever tried 4. I did have someone mention that I should try the earlier games as apparently the tone of them is different. It’s sometimes hard to overcome first impressions though!
- Comment on Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales? 4 months ago:
That’s really what is holding me back from getting it. The idea sounds really interesting, I’m just worried that I won’t enjoy the actual gameplay. I’ve had it in my cart a couple of times during sales but I never end up getting it.
What you said about micromanaging things does help. I don’t mind a little micromanagement in games like Age of Empires or Civilization, but if you get too much of it happening I tend to get a bit sloppy. I’ve found it depends a lot on my goals for the play session and also how long I’ve been doing it.
- Comment on Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales? 4 months ago:
It’s something I’ve looked at before, and while it looks like it could be a fun game, I don’t have that much time to spend grinding! It definitely appears to be one of the more fair f2p games out there though.
- Comment on Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales? 4 months ago:
I don’t play the series, but they’re definitely very cheap right now!
- Comment on Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales? 4 months ago:
Sounds like a really good deal! I’ve got all of the Witcher games, and they’re pretty good. I’m not really a Star Wars fan, otherwise I would pick up some of the games while they’re on that deep a discount! It makes me wonder how good some of them are for a non fan.
Ghost of Tsushima is a game I’m definitely keeping an eye on. I’ve unfortunately been disappointed with a lot of the recent PlayStation PC releases though, so I’m a bit wary. I’ll wait to see what kind of discounts show up in a year or so!

No problem! :-)
