I'm not one for "New Year's resolutions", but I am one for overly ambitious projects.
For 2023, Project365 is "One New Game Per Day".
Given that I have 634 unplayed games in my Steam account and {mumble} unredeemed bundle Steam keys, there's a reason my unplayed collection is tagged "Pile of Shame".
I'll pin this to my profile, and give a brief summary here each day (or x, if I miss x days due to work or stuff).
I'll play 15-30 minutes of (at least) one new game I've never played before (or played less than 15 minutes of). I'll give every game at least 15 minutes, even if I hate every minute of it.
I'm also open to suggestions; if you reply to this thread with a game, I'll schedule it, or tell you what I thought of it.
One of the things that's come up is that I have a bunch of games that I've played once, and not touched again.
Whether you started with a 2600 and a joystick in your hand, an N64 with a blistered palm or building your first PC in your teens, what is that one video game you've played at some point that to this day sits at the top of your list.
MP3 player was a life changer. I went from a huge CD players not being able to fit in my pocket to a tiny bean that connects to pc with hundreds of songs, and i was blow away!
In a response to a post from the AntiDRM Twitter account, Ubisoft Support has clarified that users who don’t sign in to their account can potentially lose access to Ubisoft games they’ve purchased.

... the Court finds the FTC has not shown a likelihood it will prevail on its claim this particular vertical merger in this specific industry may substantially lessen competition. To the contrary, the record evidence points to more consumer access to Call of Duty and other Activision content. The motion for a preliminary injunction is therefore DENIED.
And why? For me its definitely Warcraft 3 Reforged. They literally made a quick money grab AND you can't even play online the old W3 without having to download 30gb of trash.
This is a question about game streamers. Every year there are more and more streamers. My subjective opinion is that this only makes the video game market worse. Especially indie games.
⭐ Please write why you don't watch streamers and if you watch streamers, it is even more interesting - why, which ones? How old are you?
Around 2017-2018, there used to be a huge circlejerk online about how Fortnite was the dumbest thing ever, to the point where "Fortnite bad, Minecraft good" was part of the infamous Keanu Chungus 100 meme. Why did it get so much hate, and why did it stop?
:boost: Ich finde den Playstation 5 Controller ja mega geil mit den Funktionen. Aber in der Hand habe ich immer das Gefühl, dass er von der Qualität eher minderwertig ist. Fühlt sich an wie billiges Plastik.
Irgendwie gefällt mir der Switch Pro Controller besser, fühlt sich auch hochwertiger an. Ich glaube das ist auch mein Lieblingscontroller 🤔
Welcher Controller der drei großen Hersteller gefällt euch am besten?
I've recently been playing some #IngressPrime when a friend told me I might like it...
I'm still not sure about all of the options on the game. I just got to level 5.
I went with the "blue team" that seems less of a favorite, seeing their numbers. I've been doing my best capturing portals and all that. I dunno if there's any players near me, but I'd love to learn more about the game! 😁
Are there any good #Youtube creators with short - and medium-length content about #Dwarffortress?
I just love #Rimworld and probably have 500 hours in it, but only playing Dwarffortress since the #Steam release, I am really struggling to get into it, simply due to struggling with the mechanics
I think I just need to watch some good and entertaining gameplay where some things are just explained in more depth.
