Just finished Quake (Enhanced, 2021). I contest touristed my way through this one too. Still took me 33 hours. I did do all the included expansions including the new ones and all the curated add-ons.

Been picking up watching Taskmaster where I left off a few years ago. And I must say I thought Sam Campbell was a weird little guy but it turns out he's just Australian!

Kinda mindfreaky when you see someone posting a game is 25% or 30% off followed by the price ($52 and $60 respectively) and me thinking that discounted price should be the price for the full game at the time of release.

Just finished playing Warcraft: Orcs & Humans for the first time. I content-touristed through it but still took me 10 hours. Interesting to see the creature comforts I'm used to from Red Alert not being present. Especially the limit of 4 units per selection, no mouse drag-selection etc.

Just finished the PSP version of Persona (1). Started playing in early 2024. And abandoned it a few times. It gets a bit grindy. I first did the SEBEC route. Then did the Snow Queen Quest and kind of got tired of it by the time of the Tartarus tower.

Half of too much, can still be too much.

Nvidia graphics card observation: the 4070ti got close to the 3090ti and the 4080 went beyond. None of the 50 series cards (except the 5090) got close or beyond the 4090. Looking at just rasterization and no upscaling. www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-...

Gameboy NES SNES Xbox PS2 PS3 X360 The first four I still own from when they were current. Got the PS2 in its last years as a karaoke machine. Last two I got second hand, mainly for generation exclusives that never made it to PC.

Just finished Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition. I played it on the extremely easy mode and still took me 57 hours. I did Siege of Dragonspear and Tales of the Sword Coast. I got 70 achievements. My party trended mostly towards Good and Neutral but I always tried to have my party full.

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏 We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️ Find it here: store.steampowered.com/app/3167970/...

I started playing Baldur's Gate Enhanced. I could have sworn I already played some of it in the early 2000s but I don't really recognize anything? Maybe I was rushing through it too much at the time. I know I didn't complete it at the time while I did complete the Icewind Dale's.

Just finished Curse of Monkey Island. Fun game, but somehow I got hung up on the in-game timeline, I don't think it makes sense.
