Bit by bit playing HellBlade 2. The game is amazing however, the story and atmosphere is so strong (for a lack of better word) that I need downtime after playing it for an hour. It’s so dark and these voices gets to your own head sometimes, especially when playing with headset.

Recently started Warhammer Space Marine 2. A fun hack ‘n slash to just play after study, work or just general a long day.

Debating to purchase Persona 3 Reload when it is on sale. I played and loved Persona 5 Royal, clocked in 124-125 hours into it. I heard mixed stories about Reload, great character but lackluster dungeons and less social elements.

I googled and checked seltzers, but unfortunately, I can’t try them because they contain alcohol (unless I found the wrong ones?)

• Quit nicotine several years ago and never went back (shisha, cigarettes and cigars).
• Quit porn because it had become a bad coping mechanism (still struggling with it a bit tho).
• Slowly trying to quit my bad eating habit (I see them as addictions). I don’t gain weigh, so bad eating habits happens.
• Slowly trying to quit my soda addiction.

I’m debating to play ‘‘The Final Draft’’. I read its basically the same game but with a slightly more story regard the ending of the game. I did not notice/ know that;

I unfortunately never played any Max Payne games, are they worth to get into?

The gameplay is similar/ the same. You have a light and a gun/ shotgun. Though the game is much more about the immensely dark atmosphere, storytelling and characters played in it. Honestly the game has some great shock-moments. I played it in PC with mouse and keyboard and the controls were (butter) smooth in my opinion.

Don’t forget the very first Alan Wake was released in 2010. So the gameplay will feel dull and lackluster in comparison to todays gaming standards. It’s unfair to compare the two games due to the amount of years and technological advancements of today.

You can watch a video or read synopsis but you’ll do yourself a disservice.

EDIT: changed ‘‘fill’’ to ‘‘feel’’

Still playing Alan Wake 2 and it stays an amazing game. I’d think I’m close on ending the game though. Spoiler tagging just in case

I abandoned Hogwarts Legacy because after 4 hours, I found it immensely dull. The story is boring, the gameplay is boring and didn’t find the exploration satisfying.

I guess after playing Alan Wake 2 and its DLC, I’ll replay Control with the DLC and await the sequel to Control.

Just as other people have reasons to dislike certain companies, so do I have mine to dislike Nintendo as a whole. The reason why I didn’t went into it fully is because this isn’t the right thread for it.

However if you want a deeper dive into my reasons, let me know. I’ll let you know but might take few days as I’m currently lying sick in bed.

I have got the PS5 for a year or two and, I haven’t really touched it at all. There were only a handful games that I enjoyed. Didn’t like the new Horizon forbidden west nor God of war Ragnarok, they felt just way to “same-y” (if that makes sense).

I refuse to get a Switch because, I genuinely dislike Nintendo as a company. Though thats for another time.

This also might’ve to do with the fact that I bought a gaming PC and do everything on there. I’m currently busy with Alan Wake 2, Last of us 1 and later on probably Hellblade 2.

But yeah, I agree. Console gaming has been a bit disappointing.

• Alan Wake 2
• Last of part 1 remake
• Hogwarts legacy

Alan Wake 2 is an amazing game, glad I got it. Visually it’s stunning, storytelling is amazing and on all aspects just wow. Never thought they do make a sequel out of Alan Wake.

Replaying Last of us and still loving it. Not much else to say about it.

Unfortunately I’m not that happy about Hogwarts legacy. The beginning was great but after 3 hours, I find the gameplay and story very dull and close to dropping it. It makes me a bit sad, I like Harry Potter in general and was hoping for a great magical game. However, they did the whole world building of Hogwarts very well.

I upvoted your comment because I agree with it! On a serious note you are right though.

The only thing that could get me a little bit of LeagueOfLegends feeling is Hades 2. Though not even that can give me similar dopamine as LeagueOfLegends does.

I honestly think there’s no replacement for it unfortunately. So I suppose, got to just detox and get used to the lower dopamine from games (speaking about myself).

• Recently finished Cyberpunk 2077. For all its hype, I found it a mediocre/ generic game.
• I’m trying to get into Baldur’s Gate 3 but it seems, it just is not my type of game (first D&D). Might also have to do with the fact, I tried to replace LeagueOfLegends with Baldur’s Gate.
• (re)playing Last of Us 1 (remake version on PC). Stays a great game.
• Debating whether to quit Returnal and play another game such as Alan Wake 2 or Hellblade 2.

I’m also trying to find a isometric/ top-down game to replace LeagueOfLegends with. But no luck.

Debating to either purchase Hi Fi Rush or Persona 5 Royal.

Already got Persona 5 Royal on PS5 but kind of want to replay it on PC and I’m not sure whether I’ll like Hi Fi Rush.

At the end of this week, I will be getting a new game PC. So, I will play:

1. The last of us part 1 remake
2. High On Life
3. Cyberpunk 2077
4. Alan Wake 2 (half replaying it, already played 4 hours on the PS5)

Love the picture but I’m curious why, I still see posts in languages I don’t understand. I have “unticked” all languages that I don’t understand.

Wish Lemmy apps had inbuilt translation like Apollo had.

I can think of two things;

• Cheering on things such as murder, harming people/ animals
• Karma manipulation

May I ask the name(s) of these extension(s)? Currently having this issue and that’s why I mainly use MPV to load my music playlist on.

It seems like my comment has upset you or at least agitated you, if that’s not the case – it’s the impression you gave me.

I never said that we should ‘’not do everything we can’’; of course, we should. But that certainly does not mean we control everything. No matter how hard you try and how well you manage to maintain both privacy and control, at some point there will be a ‘’leak’’. Not by you but perhaps by your job, your family, friends or acquaintance. There are to many external things to have 100% control.

In today’s era, both privacy and control are truly mere illusions because you can maintain your privacy and believe you are in control, yet somewhere along the way, you leave a trail behind, especially with technology. I’m not sure why you brought ‘’morality’’ into the discussion of privacy and control – because that’s a whole other argument. This post and my comments were merely about these two.

Though, I did not expect my comment to get this much attention. It’s just my personal opinion, you can agree and disagree.

Call me pessimistic, but I do think:

• Privacy is an illusion.
• Control is an illusion (a reference to Mr. Robot).

Certainly, we can do a lot to have more privacy, but it is an illusion to think that we have complete control over it. Especially with social media, jobs, and today’s technology.
