    'A game, once sold, belongs to the customer': Prominent EU politician stands up for Stop Killing Games

    Very true. Whilst some developers and publishers do make the effort to make games accessible (or at least playable), its not a requirement nor do many of the (big) publsihers have any intentions of preservation of their work. I recently saw Ubisoft and Blizzard's T&C and they say that they can...

    'A game, once sold, belongs to the customer': Prominent EU politician stands up for Stop Killing Games

    SKG is more interested in making sure the game is still playable after everything is shut down. its not really after ownership of content or any copyright (much as critics try to argue that as a reason). All the initiative wants is that in the future, when you develop games and code the games...

    The Free Time Limited Games List

    Not a fan of the civilization (nothing wrong with it, just never got round to play it). Indeed, waiting for the win. Just as well, i've spent too much already. i feel like a damn junkie as i can't stop buying games. too many good offers.

    Movies you're watching

    had the opportunity to watch a movie on my back log. This time its Christopher nolan's Tenet (2020) a spy thriller with a scifi twist. The protagonist (yes that is the main characters name) is tasked with preventing a time distorting dooms day weapon. and thats about it. Admittedly i wasn't...

    The last game you completed

    I'm calling it, i completed SuperHot and the sequel: SuperHot: mind control delete. For those not in the know, Superhot is a puzzle shooter where time only moves when you move. The goal is to take out all the targets on each map. Most of the maps are simulations for various settings that you...

    'A game, once sold, belongs to the customer': Prominent EU politician stands up for Stop Killing Games

    As a supporter of SKG from the start, i welcome the news of people in power in favor of the initiative. The response from the gaming industry has been predictably negative and frankly pathetic. i wouldn't be surprised that they will implement negative actions to spite the consumer. You know bs...

    Steam Summer Sale 2025

    ultimately, i didn't buy anything on steam. I felt i could wait and the recent glut of games i bought this year has made me be opt to skip anything. There will be an autumn and winter sale anyway. I'll see those prices again.

    anyone played Hades

    hades series has been on my watch list for some time. i didn't get it this summer simply because i wasn't ready to play it. As others mentioned its a rogue lite, so each time you restart you gain rewards/stats to upgrade. So slowly and surely the odds and difficulty will stack in your favor...

    July 2025 General Game Discussion Thread

    I'm currently playing Super hot: mind control delete, at first i thought it was just DLC, but its actually in its own game. So far its been easy going, problems begin when the more unique goons enter the fray. They wouldn't be so annoying if they weren't indestructible. I do have some things to...

    The art and photography thread (includes AI generated art)

    many thanks for the support! Generally i take my time for these things and its usually 2 -3 weeks when i upload some practice. I would like to show more complete work, but i'm in study mode and i would like to try and focus on certain parts of practice like just getting everything right the...

    July 2025 General Game Discussion Thread

    After a point and click adventure i needed some indie action, preferably some shooting involved. So i randomly selected Super Hot as i suspected that it would be fairly quick to complete. Sure enough its very quick to complete the main story, i managed to finish it in less then 2 hours...

    The last game you completed

    Another game completed. but before we discuss it i also finished another Doom wad. This time its Doom Board Project 68: Outposts of the Wasteland, a mad max/borderland inspired map pack. So expect Deserts, raiders, post apocalyptic vibes with corrugated iron, chains, bones etc. It was a...

Still thinking what to play next atm. it will be another indie game, perhaps picking ones that i think i can finish quickly and are on my older collection. One...
