    What game are you currently playing?

    Garden Story and Elder Scrolls Online. Polar opposites, can hop in for an hour on each and make a little progress.

    Weekend Question: Do you think the Steam Deck will be a success?

    Just a quick blurb, it's nice to see Microsoft and Valve having these kinds of meetings and relationships: View: https://twitter.com/XboxP3/status/1426324572626845697 Man I can't wait to get my hands on mine.

    The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf trailer

    I love that they're telling a story about young Vesemir.

    Question Weekend Question: Do you replay games if you don't get the 'best' ending?

    I haven't played many games that do this, but no. I lucked out with Mass Effect 2 - I got a perfect, paragon ending and everyone lived. I earned that too, I didn't look up any guides and avoided spoilers. On the other hand, I lost one of the people I really tried to save during my Heavy Rain...

    Weekend Question: What's the last game whose graphics wowed you?

    Red Dead Redemption 2, 1440p, 75Hz, HDR, all settings ultra / highest. The environments and lighting look cooler and more vibrant than real life. And the biomes run the gamut from deserts to forest logging towns with streams running beneath main street. It's a joy just riding your horse across...

    Half Life + Blade Runner + Cat = Stray

    That looks really fascinating. Since Unavowed was on sale today I now have a free space on my Steam wishlist :D

    Weekend Question: Do you think the Steam Deck will be a success?

    Many people reserved a model (myself included), and feedback across the various forums and social media appears very positive, so I hope that it is as successful as Valve needs it to be to support it for years, and getting a new model down the road.

    Question Which cultures, past or present, would you like to see as a strategy or simulation game?

    People have called my idea macabre, but the Rapa Nui of Easter Island back during its assumed human-driven environmental decline. The simulation would begin decades prior to the sort of the arms race (for lack of a better term) they engaged in, allowing players to experience the build up to it...

    What games have you bought multiple times?

    I can't remember them all, but... 1. Mass Effect 2 - first for the PC when it released (wish I had kept the box and disc), then later as part of the Legendary remaster on the PS5 2. Witcher 3, sort of - prior to the release of the game I purchased a graphics card that came with a code for a...

    Question Which game worlds blew your mind?

    Ultima Online back in the day. I loved merely exploring, looking inside homes and castles, dungeons and crypts. Sailing the seas to discover new islands with their resources, creating teleportation runes so I could revisit it and show my friends.

    What are your Internet download speeds?

    I recently acquired Verizon Fios. It is advertised as 875 Mbps (109 MBps) down, and during tests and downloads from Steam it often averages that rate pretty consistently. No datacap, no throttling. I purchased the fiber Verizon router/switch as it was the highest rated by consumer groups and...

    Are Consoles now = PCs?

    Consoles are too uniquely customized to be considered a PC. They have customized SoC's / APU's a consumer cannot get their hands on. Different types of memory existing within the same system - some for general and game compute, different memory dedicated for things like background tasks and...
