That said, there are some games that had an advertising budget that I liked. Sekiro, Nier Automata, Baldur’s Gate. The common denominator being a lack of monetization. If you’re selling the game, don’t sell cosmetics.

Basically my metric for finding a game to play lately is “how much did they spend on marketing?” My favorite games I’ve played in the last 5 years were Project Wingman, Hi-Fi Rush, Atlas Fallen, Eternal Strands, The Finals, and now Clair Obscur. The first time I’d heard of any of them was when I was downloading them.
Crazy how good a video game can be when it’s made entirely by people who like video games
They had a lot of say in what they did to Maya though
Especially when there’s stuff like Clair Obscur coming out for $50. Polished to perfection. All it needs is a proper visual indicator for when to dodge enemy attacks and it’ll be a solid 10/10 for me
I’m a serious fan of BL1, 2, TPS, and Tales. Preordered BL3 for that reason. BL3 showed me that I cannot count myself a fan of a game before I’ve played it
Ubuntu, installed on a 256 gb flash drive as an experiment back in 2020. My first daily driver distro was Mint last year, then KDE Neon, and finally Kubuntu today
Distro doesn’t matter to me anymore, I just like the Plasma DE and will use anything that uses it. Eventually I’m gonna have to try Arch with it and make my own Steam machine
The canon event is that I shot at Troy with my variety of guns and rocket launchers and magic fucking powers. Sitting around and watching the only other siren I know walk up and touch the guy that kills you when you touch him was just a bad dream
