On the Gardiner?? I call bullshit. Gotta be photoshopped or something.

Just kidding. I totally get the allure of a new game and then getting disappointed to find out the game isn’t all that great. It’s why I’m such a big proponent of patient gaming. It really is the best way to go about it imo, and I’m not just saying that because I’m the mod here.
I love Elden Ring on NG+. Honestly any FromSoft game is great for NG+, it’s just so much fun.

Last year I had it happen to me, turns out it was displaced cartilage in my chest. No idea how it happened. Immediately after finding that out, I got a back injury at work (unrelated) and had to go to physio for it, which also coincidentally helped my chest pain too.

Yeah that name sounds familiar. If it’s what I’m thinking it is, that was a favourite of mine for a bunch of game modes.

Absolutely. I also loved infection on that one map that’s in the same world as the forge map, it’s like a floating level over water. Can’t remember the name now, it’s been years. Then there’s also a good one that’s all indoors, sort of a fancy human building, maybe corporate or hotel originally, I can’t remember now.
Then Alexandria was awesome, there was a super cheesy spot you could get to there. Oh and then there was an outdoors map with sort of a circular building in the middle of the map, that was great for infection too. Oh and then another indoor one, all grey walls, small outdoor area where you could fall to your death.
Now that I think of it, I think I just loved that game altogether. Damn now I’m nostalgic.

I appreciate the write up. After leaving my comment I did a bit of research myself and downloaded Unity and DREAM. Haven’t played yet, got busy, but quickly ran it to make sure everything worked fine, and it looks pretty good. I’ll give it a proper try later on tonight.

You convinced me to download Daggerfall Unity and give it a shot. Any tips for playing the game in 2025?
- Comment on Day 504 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 6 days ago:
Infection on Zealot has to be one of the best times in Reach PvP. Your Reach posts have made me very nostalgic, but this one might take the cake. Good job.

You’ve completely nailed my feelings on it. Online semi-requirement is super annoying, but it’s also one of my absolute favourite games ever made. It’s my second-most played game ever, too.
- Comment on Do you feel the spirit??? 1 week ago:
I showed this to my wife. She found it vaguely amusing. I definitely found it funnier than her.
- Comment on How could you do this to me? 1 week ago:
I’m running a 3060 with CachyOS and no issues. Mint however gave me some problems. Fixable problems, but problems still. CachyOS worked straight out of the box.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 week ago:
Good to know. I do have some official 360 controllers still but they’re all in poor shape at this point. Only the one that I used to use is undamaged, but I forgot to remove batteries before storing it so it got corrosion and is very spotty and turns off a lot. I’ve been putting off cleaning it properly, by just not playing my 360 for a while, but I really should fix the controllers and give the console a nice treatment to bring it all back up to running order again.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 week ago:
The 360 definitely has to be my overall favourite console. I’ve been meaning to give mine a good refresh but I’m not very experienced. How’d the process go? Any tips? Mine is put away right now but I’ll be moving in about a month and I’ll probably be setting up my 360 in the new place, so I’d like it in nice running order.
Also, do you know much about controllers? I wouldn’t mind getting a new 360 controller but something’s telling me Microsoft isn’t making the official ones anymore, have you tried any after market ones?
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 week ago:
Very good to know, I’ll definitely look into it more soon. Thanks for the info.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 week ago:
like they were made for someone with neither time nor interest in playing an MMO
It might be up my alley then. I have virtually no time these days for games. Most nights, by the time all the chores are done and my daughter is put to bed, I’m just too exhausted to play anything. I probably only get about 2 hours a week or so to play games. I played ESO off and on a bit a few years ago, maybe I should hop back in sometime.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 week ago:
I’m sticking with Morrowind still this week. I haven’t had much energy lately so I put my main playthrough on pause, created a new character, and I’m messing around with console commands to make him ridiculous (increasing speed and jump height so now I’m zooming across the map). It’s quite fun. I’m going to mess around with other commands soon too.
Before trying console commands I did briefly try using exploits instead but it seems either I messed up or OpenMW patched it out or something. I wasn’t too invested in the exploit, mostly just the result for this character, so commands work fine.

I’m glad you’re enjoying the posts! I’ve got a few more saved, they’ll be posted shortly. After that I’ll be on the hunt, and hopefully others can add posts too.

Shoutout to my community !ididnthaveeggs@sh.itjust.works which is more of this! I’d recommend someone check it out :)
- Comment on If every video game was to be destroyed but you had the chance to save five games, what would you choose to save? 2 weeks ago:
Great picks. ME2, RDR2 and BioShock were all games I contemplated for my list. I omitted ME2 for the reason you mentioned, and BioShock didn’t make it because while it’s absolutely a fantastic game, I don’t find it to have the same replayability as Dishonored, which I chose for my last pick. RDR2 would’ve been my sixth pick.

CE probably has my favourite campaign (both solo and co-op), but for PvP it’s definitely Reach for me. It’s also the one I’ve got the most time in by far.
I didn’t get much into Halo 3 for some reason, I’m not sure why. Aside from the campaign, I mostly just stuck with Halo 2 until Reach came out. I was also getting into CoD a bit between playing 2 and Reach so that also sucked some time out of 3. Then after Reach I got super into Battlefield 4 and that was my main PvP without friends but with friends I still mostly played Reach until my friends moved on from it. Now I almost exclusively play single player games, with the exception of one friend who I’ll sometimes play NHL with.
- Comment on Day 491 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 2 weeks ago:
I have so much nostalgia for Halo Reach. I was just talking to someone else on here about Reach last night actually. I wish I had friends who still played Halo. There’s not much better than Reach with the boys.
- Comment on An academic disagreement 2 weeks ago:
0°F is the warmest allowed temperature for freezing food in the service industry. We measure with Celsius here so I only recently found out that -18°C = -0.4°F which is just about 0°F. I was looking at some cases of food we store in the freezer and noticed it said “store at -18°C (0°F) or colder”. I doubt that’s the actual reason for 0°F being what it is, but it is a practical use case for that temperature.

To be fair it has been a while since I’ve tried BF4, but last time I gave it a shot I was waiting for a match forever and when I finally did connect the lobby was mostly empty. It’s possible I got unlucky though. I don’t have my Xbox anymore so I’d have to get it on steam and I’m pretty sure the anti-cheat doesn’t work with Linux but I could be wrong. Maybe I’ll look into it again at some point. I do miss playing it.

I clearly don’t know enough about Portal 2, care to explain more? I’m definitely out of the loop.
- Comment on If every video game was to be destroyed but you had the chance to save five games, what would you choose to save? 2 weeks ago:
I really want to try it out but I’m worried it’ll ruin my life. It looks fun but I really don’t have a ton of time these days for gaming and I don’t want to get super hooked on a game I know I’ll spend way too much time on.
- Comment on If every video game was to be destroyed but you had the chance to save five games, what would you choose to save? 2 weeks ago:
Fair enough. I haven’t played Minecraft in a while so I sort of forgot it existed when I wrote my comment but it’s definitely a great pick for here.

Which Pokemon game? Also portal is a great choice, I was very nearly tempted to have portal 2 as my last pick.
