Holy shit a hitman fan! I’ve played all the games in the series since the original. Only one I haven’t purchased is 3 since they got really shitty with DLCs and garbage. Amazing games for replayability though.
Some of my all-time favourite games. When Hitman 2016 came out I used to do silent assassin suit-only speedruns of Sapienza, honestly one of my favourite challenges to do since I usually suck at video games. No idea how I got good at that one very specific challenge, but being good at something feels pretty good! I estimate 75% of my playtime is probably in just Sapienza. I also really liked Hokkaido too. The patient zero mission on that map was one of my favourites.
If you get the chance to pick up Hitman 3 on sale I’d recommend it still. The regular levels are all great. I agree that the DLCs and stuff were annoying, but I still got them anyway and don’t regret it. More content for Hitman will always be a plus with me. I won’t buy the cosmetic stuff though, that’s not worth the money to me.
Gotcha. Thanks for the recommend / type up! I’ve definitely spent more time than I’d admit just replaying levels. The engine is beautiful and the levels and scenery are super immersive
I don’t have any friends who play Hitman, and it doesn’t get talked about much here, so I’m always happy to talk about this game! It’s probably top 5 of all time for me. I hope you play Hitman 3, it’s good
Best Co-Op game I’ve ever played with a marvellous community and its own subculture. It has been my absolute favourite game for a couple of years.
Stopped playing though when they introduced the “flappy boots” minigame. I know it’s optional and there are mods to get rid of it, but somehow this has killed the entire game for me. Silly, but can’t help the feeling.
In German I would say “die Luft ist raus” about this. Literally translated: “the air is out” and describes situations where something totally lost its appeal and is now just “meh”, although it was (very) appealing before.
If you haven’t played it before and like co-op shooters: give it a try. You probably won’t regret it.
I love the expression! Sounds close to “out of steam” in English which is used similarly… nothing underlying has changed but the enthusiasm or “special something” is gone
The Winter Sale isn’t over until January 2nd, so I might buy some more games before it ends. Problem is, I own most of the games on the Steam front page, so finding new and interesting games is getting difficult.

This. I feel totally underwhelmed by the sale this year because everything on the front page I already either own or have no interest in. I know the discovery queue exists, but it primarily tries to feed me the same jank I already know exists.
It’s not fear Effect that’s for sure. You’re better off spending the time emulating (since they are hella expensive physical) Fear Effect 1 and 2: Double Helix.
Resident evil camera angle and gameplay but with super spy lesbians
I took Age4 Sultans Ascend DLC and Cossacks 3 in previous sale before winter because I ended up with a bit more money. Somehow I didn’t spent much money as usual in October, cook food on my own instead of buying cooked food.
I don’t really have any other wishlist now. Instead I really want to make my own rts game but I have not been able to be productive nor playing Cossacks 3. But I did spent a bit more time with Age4.
I got suckered into playing 800+ hours of GTA Online and paying thousands of SEK for shark cards over a year or two before I realized what a terrible game it is.
I was addicted to it, and paid money every month to buy shark cards.
When my work situation improved however, I took a few steps back and realized that I had wasted a lot of money on it and that I was only chasing the dragon that was just out of reach, kept away from me by carefully crafted mental mechanics of the game.
I was disgusted and refused to participate further.
I uninstalled it right away and have never looked back.
I never spent a dime on it, but I did play for over 3000 hours before rock star blocked linux. I enjoyed the grind rather than the reward, so it sort of became my little safe-space game when I was really stresses out. could always just go hang out with my buds for a few hours and grind out a million bucks. I’m still kinda torn up about the anticheat situation tbh, I would gladly play alone if there were any way to play the same game. but story mode just doesnt compare for me, completly different game :(
Finally! Someone with over 1000 hours in a game. I think I have over 3000 hours in Stellaris alone. Granted I’ve definitely walked away from that game in the endgame for over an hour and come back with practically nothing changing. It’s a very slow game.
Play smaller and taller. Playing a wide game is tougher but not impossible. Also don’t do what I do, do not have a custom built species for every origin. There’s a lot of origins now and it’s a little cluttered. Just build a race you like and get playing.
Bustafellows (95% sale). I have a huge backlog of !otomegames to play, and Bustafellows is not on it. But it was also like $2 so… worst comes to worst, I play the game some day, hate it, and my purchase serves to signal “hey, English-speaking ladies who do not live in Japan also like otome games, localizing them is a good business choice”. Which means more otome for me! I have heard of so many Japan-only games that sound so cool but also I cannot play them because I won’t understand a damn thing the characters say, and they are usually super story-based.
The Magic Circle. I forget what recommendation list I saw it on to be honest, but it still seems to hold up as something I would like and think is cool.
I like !tycoon games, so I was going to grab Parkitect, saw it in a bundle with more tycoon games, grabbed the bundle to also collect Project Hospital and Game Dev Tycoon. (I already had Parkasaurus.)
I also like automation games. I think its community might be on a dead instance… maybe I’ll make a new one. Finally grabbed myself Factorio (will never be on sale) along with Satisfactory (finally out of Early Access. I will never buy an EA game, I will always wait for it to exit EA).
Finally, Sun Haven. Stardew Valley fan, from what I have seen of SH it seems like something I’d like, and price dropped.
Aside from Factorio, everything I grabbed was on sale. Aside from Satisfactory, all the sales were 50% or more.
I’ve been playing Parkitect over the last months, it’s pretty fun! Usually I don’t stick with Tycoon games for long, but I did >10 campaign levels there.
Only bummer is that the tooling around blueprints is pretty underdeveloped (can’t sort/tag them, very inflexible), and it gets tiring to recreate all the basic decorations around food courts etc.
Mam nadzieję że dobrze się ubawił tym cosplayem, bo pracą nie potrafię tego nazwać. Wzięcie zlecenia na jeden dzień, nawet w wigilię nijak się ma do funkcjonowania w nieustannym przymusie ekonomicznym. Zwłaszcza że tą ustawka zbija polityczny kapitał nieproporcjonalny do tego co wypracowuje przeciętna osoba wykonująca takie same zadania. Jednym słowem niezwykle szkodliwy pajac
