Or, what if their healthcare continued to be free so they wouldn’t have an incentive to find a way to live on $700 month?
I know one of those young men playing video games, and he REALLY wants a job, but no matter how he works the math, the medication that keeps him alive costs more than what he’d make. So, his only choice is to budget around permanent poverty or die.
Right? I feel bad that it’s beautiful outside and we’re all inside playing games and streaming TV, but every time we leave the house as a family, it ends up costing me at least $100.
Hello, in the recent years I find myself willing to spend much less time and energy on games, but I do still enjoy them. Oftentimes I end up quitting a new game I tried out relatively early on, because I’m encountering some block, grind, non-optional boring side quest, empty open world, uninteresting clutter or details that I...
If you haven’t already tried Oblivion Remastered, that’s a no brainier.
Avowed was pretty straight forward with a decent story. It’s more linear than Skyrim, and sometimes I had to reload a save because I walked into a situation I wasn’t ready for, but all in all, I made quick consistent progress.
I played both on Gamepass.
Also, there’s no shame in turning that difficulty bar down when it’s available. I’m in the same boat as you. I don’t want to master the game, I just want to enjoy it.
Just the other day my brother came over and we played OG Bubble Bobble. Two guys over 40 sinking a few hours into an adorable little co-op game. We got to the final boss and called it a night.
I picked it back up the next day, eventually beat that boss and texted my brother to let him know we beat the game.
It always seemed like a kiddie game that’s not meant to be taken seriously, but apparently a bunch of people in their 20s and 30s take it very seriously....
Good news, Ferb! I know what we’re going to do this weekend! I don’t know much of anything about this one, which is usually best, but I’ve heard the name mentioned many times, and your “review” just convinced me to give it a shot.
I don’t get much time to play, but being able to try out gems I otherwise wouldn’t have spent money on really makes Gamepass worth while for me.
Hiya, just newly thought about something: wouldn't be nice if there was a simple way of checking what games you have played over the years, a way to keep track of wether you liked the game or not, how much time you spent playing it etc.. Currently, personally i only check steam library for those kinda details. But it would be...
I find this post interesting. Are you asking because you’re curious about statistical information like “you played this game 28 hours more than that game” or just so you remember if you liked a game or not?
I understand the first one, but I can’t even comprehend the second. As soon as I see a screenshot from a game, my brain goes back to playing it and the general emotions it triggers. I might not remember the details about the game, but I’ll remember if it was fun, frustrating, boring etc. So I think it’s really strange that someone could completely forget playing a game.
I don’t mean any offense or anything. I know I’m some kind of neurodivergent, and I find the differences in how we each think very interesting.
We’ve all played them. Backtracking, not knowing where to go. Going back and forth. Name some of these games from your memory. I’ll start: Final Fantasy XIII-2, RE1
Seems like a goldmine of content for them to work on for the next decade+. Plenty of people will never experience these worlds or stories due to the turn-based combat, so giving them the Remake treatment could be the only way an audience ever finds them....
Lately, I’ve been diving into a few different space simulation games, and one of the ones that stands out to me is Star Citizen. The game is massive and offers so much for players to explore, from vast planets to epic space battles. What’s really interesting is how many people treat it almost like a second life, collecting...
I know I remember seeing some people talk about how nice some of the environments in Hitman were, and that they’d just walk around as a tourist from time to time, treating it like a walking simulator/virtual tourism thing instead of the stealth assassination game it is. Curious about other things like that, where you play a...
I think being the “free” game that comes with the system hurt it’s reputation. We all got bored of it, but going back to it after playing some terrible platformers really shows you how great it really is.

I skimmed through about a minute or so of two of your videos.
The text bubble thing you do is alright, but I’d add to it and clean it up. Stop recording typos. Edit them out of the video. The time it takes for me to read what you’re typing, and then delete your mistakes and try again makes me lose interest real fast, and it looks sloppy.
If you are physically able to speak, you should. There is no human connection. I was just watching a programming screen while music played in the background. That may be useful if I’m looking for a video to walk me through something I’m trying to do, but I wouldn’t subscribe or even remember your name if there’s no connection to you as a person. Talk through what you are doing as you do it. If you are unable to speak, maybe you can find a text to voice to speak for you.
I started at 7 and looked forwards to every iteration of the series since then, 8 was more of the same with a weird story, 9 was cute and a good throwback, then I went back to 6 which was a masterpiece, 10 was emotional and beautiful, 12 wasn’t great but had cool worldbuilding, being a FFT fan....
The era of traditional video games is just over for Gen Z. They aren’t just playing games anymore, instead, they are rewriting the rules. Forget about what we used to play with static storylines and pre-designed worlds.
No games that lead to players being pissed at other players, even outside of the confines of the game. I’ve had that happen with, for example, Secret Hitler, so no Secret Hitler....
I don’t hear about this one often but it is always the first game I bust out for newbies.
Camel Up!
Players place bets on little camels that run around the track. The turns move quickly, people love gambling, and you some strategy will help you win, but it’s random enough that everybody has a chance at coming out ahead.
Someone might get the bet you had your eye on, but there’s no direct “attacks” on other players.

I’m not REAL into these, but every now and then I find one (usually much lighter than like) that clicks with me and I dump a few days into it before I get bored.
Dead cells was fun.
Children of Morta was pretty cool as you have a whole family to level up.
Happy new year guys!😀 Just now, it hit midnight here, and it’s officially 2025. I was playing Pennon and Battle, and I realized it’s the last game I played in 2024!! That gave it a different kind of meaning. Now I’m curious, what was the last game you played in 2024?
After starting work, I feel so tired every day, so I just want to play some casual games. Recently, I’m playing survivor-like games like Vampire Survivors and Darkchaser.
