For about 10–15 years, I've documented my favourite game of the year. When I started, I recorded my favourite game retrospectively. All the way back to 1984.

That was tricky because I have a poor memory so I had to look up all the games for that year to remind myself which I'd played. It was nice to be reminded of the great experiences I had with some games.

Well, RIP games journalism. Good luck finding an objective review. It was difficult before, now it'll be near impossible.

Recently, I've been watching small Youtubers video's for reviews. It's hardly reliable, though. It's important to stay small because I'm beginning to think the larger ones aren't exactly being objective either.

I've not seen a single post on Mastodon about this. Nobody cares, and nobody realizes how potentially damaging this could be.

I'm biased but I don't know why people can't get into football when you have drama like this.

Well done

It's pretty depressing how many gamers are fine with the grind. They use the term fondly, they look forward to it. They don't care that this mechanic is often little more than a tool to drive sales.

I understand that taste is subjective and there are many games where I've had to slog to get that 'completionist' endorphin hit, but often a lot of these were before publishers were using it as a way to make money where they couldn't before.

Diablo 2's has a staggering level of complexity not evident on face value.

It is astonishing how replayable the game is.

If you're not played Diablo 2, you should and it was remastered (fairly) recently.

Robin told Batman he was thinking about pre-ordering a game. After slapping Robin across his stupid mouth, Batman explained that he should wait to see if the game is in a tested and working state before he buys it, otherwise the publishers have no reason not to release a broken game since they've already been paid.

If you're looking for a chill little adventure game where you are a little space man on a tiny planet, then look no further than Astroneer. A great little game to get the brain working.

Wonka is made by the same people who made Paddington. This bodes well.

It has a great cast too. Olivia Coleman?

Yes please.

I was initially sceptical because I love the original A LOT and so this has a lot to live up to. I'm going to go into it hoping it's as good as Paddington because there is simply no way it can be as good as the original Willy Wonka, if for no other reason than the fact it doesn't have the screen legend that is Gene Wilder.

Game companies and publishers are not exempt from criticism.

If their games are released unfinished or they are greedy then players should express their discontent. Ideally, by voting with their wallet.

The aforementioned do not need your protection. They're not defenseless, they have PR departments. Do not attack fellow gamers for expressing opinions which differ from your own.

Now, I won't lie and say I was especially interested in this game to begin with but I can tell you what kills my interest pretty quickly.

Any tips for someone trying to get into #CK3 ?

I've played a few games and could never get into it. What am I missing. What do you think would help improve my experience?

I'm just listening to the old Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack and god-damn, it's dope as fk!

Consider, if you will. This was written 20 years ago for a console with limited memory. To achieve all this on such a limited system is incredibly impressive.

Godamit, and I'm all out of popcorn...

Being serious for a moment though, you have to appreciate those leaning to the right having a tendency to self-destruct. It's almost as if the opinions upon which they opine prove to make for a poor bedrock.

Either way, the sooner 'GB News' runs itself into the ground the better. It's a disgrace we have a British Fox News in this country at all.

I think I'm gonna do it today.

I'm going to dual boot Linux on my gaming PC.

The only thing this will affect is the amount of games I can have installed on Windows.

But if I can move everything and get a decently working system on Linux, that may not be much of a problem.
