- Comment on What's your preferred way of buying games? (digital/physical/physical digital) 3 hours ago:
I don’t think I have thought about it like this. I prefer digital, but it’s purely from ease of use point of view.
For me it’s where do I want to play this game? My preference is: Handheld console -> Home Console -> PC
As for PC, Gog used to be my goto platform a long time ago, but then reduced their Linux support and Steam started focusing on it, so I switched to Steam 100%, but I play very little on PC, so practically speaking this doesn’t make too much of a difference.
So, with current systems that I have, this becomes something like: Switch -> PlayStation -> Steam.
As for the discussion between owning and renting, I used to be a collector, but with time, don’t care about “owning” games too much, for 90% of the games I’ll play it once for 30-40 hours (or 90-100 hours if it’s a long RPG) and then probably never touch them again, at least not for next decade or so, so whatever let’s me enjoy that legally, at the cheapest rate, is fine for me.
I do have some opinions about Gamepass, but that is how it effects the ecosystem, so not sure if it’s relevant here or not.

Yeah, there were couple of fights where I died quite a bit too, don’t recall if it was this same location or not though.
It can be a fun series to revisit.

Ah okay. Thanks for the info.

This looks fun. Can try with friends if it ever comes to consoles.

It’s The Legend of Zelda parallel universe.

Stealth games can be like that, you can spend long time during those stealth sections, but nothing actually happens there.
- Comment on Day 375 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 6 days ago:
Yeah, I’ll check with my friends who have already played it before I decide anything. If I went for the sequel first, will just watch a recap or let’s play of the first game on YT for a reminder.
- Comment on Day 375 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 week ago:
Yeah, I am wondering if I should play the second one first, or watch the first season of show first.
- Comment on Day 375 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 week ago:
It has been so long since I played it, I don’t even remember who David was 😀
Well, I’ll just watch the TV show.
- Comment on Day 374 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 week ago:
Ah, okay, thanks!
- Comment on Day 374 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 week ago:
Are you playing the remake or the original one? Or is there only one on PC?
- Comment on Day 372 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 week ago:
Heh, these are some weird looking flys! 😂
- Comment on Day 367 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 week ago:
Yeah, now it’s your brand 😀
- Comment on Day 368 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 week ago:
Are NPCs on their roadmap? Should make game more accessible to people playing alone or with less people.
- Comment on Day 367 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 2 weeks ago:
With the title you initially chose, trust me, no one was expecting to make it this long 😀 It’s nice to promise less and over deliver than to promise a lot and then under deliver.

Nooo! Don’t let more people in, that’s how your whole community fall apart in every single Zombie apocalypse!
Good luck with the sever and more players, that warning above is just “in-universe” warning, not stopping you from adding more friends 😀 At least your camp is turning into a proper base.

That’s nice. Thanks for the info.
- Comment on Nintendo touts high employee retention rate after loss of Microsoft jobs rocks Xbox Game Studios 2 weeks ago:
That’s pretty nice. When everyone is laying off people by thousands, it’s nice to see a company that provides stability to it’s employees.
They of course aren’t the only one, kudos to all such companies!
- Comment on Day 366 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 2 weeks ago:
That’s interesting. Will keep in mind if I can ever convince someone to play it.
- Comment on Day 366 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 2 weeks ago:
It’s another fun adventure in the life of Jerry and Cable!
Good luck with the barricade!

Signalis looks interesting. I am not a horror fan, but want to give that a try. Have huge backlog though, so one day™.
- Comment on Day 365 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing (One Year Anniversary!) 2 weeks ago:
Congratulations on the anniversary!
Anything that you “have to” do daily can start to feel like a chore, so glad to see that you are still enjoying these. I, like some others, don’t read daily but do peek in to look at the screenshots, so it’s nice to follow your journey. If you want to start streaming or your own site someday, this will be a good exercise to get you used to playing and reviewing games.
Oh, and Project Zomboid stories are still my favourite ones! Looking forward to reading your further exploits.
To another year!

Isn’t this common? From what I know water damage isn’t covered under warranty by anyone.
- Comment on John Wick Hex will be removed from sale on all platforms beginning July 17th, 2025 2 weeks ago:
It’s on my wishlist, but don’t want to buy on full price, but also don’t want to buy for PC…
- Comment on IGN interview w/ DK Bananza devs 3 weeks ago:
It’s interesting that both this and Mario Kart: World originally started as Switch 1 games, and only later they decided to move to Switch 2.
- Comment on Day 358 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 3 weeks ago:
I played it 2-3 years ago, and yeah, it still holds up pretty well.
- Comment on Day 355 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 4 weeks ago:
Hope we aren’t putting too much pressure on a guy who just wants to share screenshots of the game he is playing.
- Comment on Day 355 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 4 weeks ago:
10 days to go! 😀
- Comment on How Nintendo locked down the Switch 2’s USB-C port and broke third-party docking 4 weeks ago:
EU made iPhone have proper USB C port, instead of proprietary stuff
It can probably do something about this too. I think USB C rule was only for phones so may not directly apply to Switch, but they can make Nintendo fix it.
