I prefer grids myself, I’ve never gotten very far in gridless strategy games I’ve played (Mario+Rabbids, Valkyria Chronicles) because I just have too hard a time keeping track of what I can do with any given unit when I don’t have the grid for reference. That said, I can understand the appeal to some as an immersion enhancement, as others have said, and as something of a “modernization” of turn-based strategy allowing for more freedom of movement. Cool if you enjoy that kind of thing in strategy, but just not my jam. I was raised on Fire Emblem in the genre, lol.
Recently I’ve been having a bad habit of switching between multiple different games, getting bored and stopping/switching again.
Past 2 weeks I’ve been playing Disco Elysium and Crusader Kings 2. Still have the halfway-done games of Marvel’s Midnight Suns, Empire TV Tycoon, and Hotline Miami from the 2 weeks prior to that.
It takes some time to figure out, but basically you need to:
Install docker and docker-compose
Install portainer (optional, but my recommendation. Its docker app that provides simple GUI to manage all other docker containers)
Create docker-compose with configuration for qbit and gluetun, then load it in portainer using stacks (look for examples on google or aks again when you get to this part)
Done
Alternative is just setting VPN in your existing qbittorrent. Never tried that, but you should set everything using qbittorrent settings I suppose
I started a second run of Baldur’s Gate 3 this week. I don’t know the last time I’ve ever finished a game like this just to go right back into it. It’s certainly been 20+ years since I’ve done it with an RPG. Part of why I wanted to do it might have been how much more polish there is in the first act, so it’s a cozier experience. I also skipped a full zone and a half on the first play, so that’s all going to be new, and I want to see the other side of a big decision point in Act 2. Probably going to end this run around that point and maybe actually play a different game for once.
I’m realizing now that this game fixes all of my problems with Divinity: Original Sin 2, and that was an excellent game. There are very few steps back here, mostly just the lack of polish.
BG3 is still a triumph despite the (many) rough edges. I’m sure I’m going to go back to it yet again down the road after a few patches and some of the cut/unfinished content is in the game, especially around the ending.
I don’t know the last time I’ve ever finished a game like this just to go right back into it.
Elden Ring is this game for a lot of people, myself included. I'm early in BG3, but just like with Elden Ring, I'm already thinking about other things I'd like to try on subsequent playthroughs.
Capcom vs SNK 2 ate more of my fighting game hours than any other game, with the possible exception of SF2/Turbo/Super combined. It had everything I could ever want at the time.
Nowadays i use sportscult.org, it’s a private tracker that also offers live tv, and i haven’t really done anything but watch f1 on there. Less ads/buffering. They have open signups every now and then.
I kept an eye on www.reddit.com/r/trackersignups/ (well the previous one calles r/opensignups, they open registratations every 2-4months for a couple of days usually.
I never tried donating, and it is a private tracker most foremost, torrenting replays and the likes. Live TV is just an addition, so I’d be a little weary of donating for something that isn’t the main objective of said site.
you could also try your luck asking in that weekly reddit thread for an invite, it might work out
I’ll never forget the day when the movie theater I used to work at got a brand new Soul Calibur arcade cabinet. Me and my coworkers put more money into that game than the customers ever did.
Voldo was great. Total nightmare fuel. I think there’s a strong cast of characters. Yoshimitsu was one of my favourites to play for the sword-pogo stick move.
You really should get Saturn emulation running, because as far as fighting games went, the sheer variety of games on the Saturn were STUNNING.

Fighters Megamix is a classic. I love the weird old games with big rosters and a cheerful vibe. I don’t think any other game lets you pit a Daytona car against a giant mascot sculpture.
Getting back into Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker. I'm about at the end of the game and I've really enjoyed playing a portable full on stealth game. Its scope is quite limited, what with it being a PSP game, but it actually serves to breed a pretty easygoing stealth game with not too much of a cost for getting caught and pretty limited sound and sight ranges to match the small level sections.
While it's totally limited it's actually a bit refreshing compared to how tight being stealthy can be in even the home console MGS games.
