As enjoyable as ever to read!
I think you might have missed the link to Nightdive Studios’ future endeavours? Or Voyager is not showing it at least. - Comment on Hot take: Get your game reviews from gamers, not from collectors 2 weeks ago:
I guess, by some standards, I could be qualified as a collector - I buy games for OG hardware before playing them.
However, and I don’t believe I’m the only “collector” doing this, if a game is bad, didn’t age well, etc, I will definitely say so and likely would sell said game if I’ve no interest in playing it again.Sure, there are collectors who don’t play games at all and review based on price, if that, but I know there are also people who do it like I do.

Yep, thanks - so far I’ve avoided any guides and went in completely blind, I’m starting to explore the map again for what I might have missed.
spoiler
I’ve been trying to beat the Mantis Lords for a while, but I feel like there’s some other place I might be able to go for now - I think I haven’t fully explored the City of Tears yet, but got my first nail upgrade
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 2 weeks ago:
I’m still playing Divinity: Original Sin II.
I also picked up Hollow Knight recently and I’m making progress, albeit painfully sometimes haha. - Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 3 weeks ago:
I’m slowly continuing my playthrough of Divinity: Original Sin II and absolutely loving it.
I also recently bought Stardew Valley, finally, and started playing it a bit.
Last one, Mushihimesama as the c/shmups Game of the Month. - Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #8 3 weeks ago:
Voyager works perfectly fwiw

- Castlevania: SOTN
- 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim
I didn’t think I’d enjoy SOTN so much, as I tend to have mixed feelings towards metroidvanias, but it delivers in many areas - I’d say it’s too easy, but then again it’s a matter of adjusting your equipment to make it more difficult.
I’m attempting another playthrough of 13 Sentinels, I’m not sure why I bounced off of it a couple years ago but I’ve been getting into “gameplay-lite” games lately with great results.
- Comment on What's your favorite Pokémon Game? 5 weeks ago:
Ruby and Sapphire, 100% because of nostalgia as I haven’t played either in 20+ years - those were the last games my grandpa gifted me so they hold tremendous sentimental value.
Gold and Silver would be close seconds, since my sister and I played those games when growing up and I have great memories from back then. - Comment on Are modern Final Fantasy games bad? 1 month ago:
No?
Realistically, as you mentioned with FF XIV ARR now being a classic but also being a pain to get into is true for any other older FF, many people simply have rose tinted glasses to keep them from seeing all the flaws present in those prior entries.
I also started with FF VII, but 25 years after its release, and let me tell you that it did not age well (at all) imo.Had I not picked up FF XVI, I probably wouldn’t have given the series another chance.
I now player both FF VII remakes to date and absolutely loved them, especially Rebirth, and am going through FF VI, which I also think is a masterpiece tbh.
FF IV didn’t work out for me, but that’s fine.All that to say, video game series evolve, ARPGs have been quite popular for a while and FF went that route - for now. That doesn’t make for bad games, and the series will keep evolving.
- Comment on What's the game you play when nothing else sounds good? 3 months ago:
Shmups. Not any one in particular, although ESP Ra.De. or DDP DaiOuJou often tend to be top of my list.
Otherwise, Streets of Rage 2 or TMNT: Turtles in Time.
