@goodoo_dr @shinobi602 @LizzieMarbach For games you can have problem solving that you can use in real ways, and train your brain, so id argue it would be just or even more useful then reading. But that would ofcourse depend on the game too

@shinobi602 @LizzieMarbach No, drawing and gardening objectively creat new things. That’s what I meant by productive. They produce things.
Video games are pure consumption just like watching tv or reading are. Though I’d argue reading works the brain in ways that the others don’t

I know this is unpopular, but it will always be unattractive for a grown man to play video games.
Some women might be understanding or pretend like they don’t care that you spend hours playing, but they do.
It is extremely unattractive to women and will never not be. 🤷🏼♀️

@AleLethiur @Marcodmeatball They are very easy and chill to do tho, just go to marker interact with something or slay it, and then get payed immediately after. But just totally black and white in comparison to good side quests in games like Fallout/The Witcher or something. Main story makes up for it tho
English
@Luke12311 @Marcodmeatball I get you, I also ended up ignoring them after a while, just bothered to get them and complete them if they were on the way of the main objective
English
@AleLethiur @Marcodmeatball Have not played any other XC game, do hope those side quests improve in the other games, as they are 95% fetch quests for exp, which might have blinded me to skipping actual quest text where the story could be interesting. Did not bother with them too much in the DLC honestly
English
@Luke12311 @Marcodmeatball Ok so I finished it recently too and started XC2 afaik it's related a bit more to XC3 but I liked it as it gave some closure to Melia as a character, and personally I liked exploring the ares/sidequests more than base game

@digitalfoundry i refunded it on steam, was trying to fix and playtest before the 2 hour no return policy. But was irritated by some problematic things. So might just get it later when its not almost at full price

We re-tested Oblivion Remastered - over a year since launch, the game still crashes and loses performance over time: digitalfoundry.net/news/2026/05/y…

@AleLethiur @Marcodmeatball What was so special about Future connected? Was kinda mid honestly, and I just completed it recently
English

@ZikadaPrime Love how it looks honestly, being able to use trackpads to use as a mouse when I play steam or browse on a tv is also very handy, instead of bringing my mouse to the tv every time

Will you be buying the Steam Controller?

@SenatorTillman @ButchX3 Like, why would anyone ever do this? I maybe somewhat get skipping a realm l reborn, but why would they want to only play this latest expansion if they have no clue about any of it anyway
English
@ButchX3 If you just want to play EC and dont care about the rest of the story you can buy a story skip a level skip and get a job up to 100 in a day or 2. If you want to play the whole game, the msq is about 300 hours at this point. Gear doesnt matter since it will be obsolete for 8.0

@SynthPotato loved 3/4 and never bothered to finish 5/6, always came to a point where i was bored at just stopped playing with the last 2

It’s wild that there hasn’t been a new Far Cry game in almost 5 years.
There was a point where we were getting a new one or some kind of spin-off every 2 years, I didn’t like FC6 and I never finished it but it sold super well
Makes it so strange the franchise vanished.

kcd2 has to be one of the worst games I've ever played that gameplay is atrocious

@DatGamerDad @SynthPotato I absolutely had the same thinking a while back, until I picked up my switch 1 again. You do notice it in the beginning, but after a while you realize that I don’t really care or notice anymore, it’s also dependent on the game ofcourse, I wouldn’t want to play a fps game on 30
English
Different strokes for different folks, I absolutely cannot play less than 60 anymore. And especially because I never have to. Well, actually, I did while in the hospital on my phone via Gamepass. That was the last time. Other than that, there's no world where I'd elect to. And I grew up from NES on.
English
Seriously though why does this happen?
Did something in screens change or did we just get too used to 60FPS+ that 30fps looks so laggy now?
