Dude my GPU is so hard for Witcher 4 the fans started to hum “the bad touch” ever since the trailer ran!


Not one bit. Sackboy is a 2d platformer, AstroBot is 3d. It feels like a Super Mario Galaxy 3 - better than 2 in every way. If AstroBot would have a wall jump and triple jump it totally would be a super Mario Galaxy 3.


I just bought it used for $45. Started 5 hours ago, now time to sleep, then play again.

It is a better super Mario game. The difficulty is a bit higher I think, there’s some platforming where I thought like “ain’t no way some of my friends would get this first try”

I love it,


I’ve always known about kickstarter but never did something with it.

I only ever funded one thing this October; that thing was the GC Ultimate Controller.

I get regular updates, shipment will be around februaty.


I played it in the beginning. It felt like what you paid for: a free monster hunter wannabe game. Not bad if you expected nothing from it, pretty bad if you expected a full fleshed out monster hunter experience.


Literally the first thing I googled when I played Gwent was “gwent card game starter kit” lol


Pro tip:

A 50:50 mixture of Isopropyl Alcohol and destilled water burns extremely cold.

Soaking a wooden sword in it and lighting it would result in a wooden sword with fire enchantment. It would not burn the wood itself. You can even soak a cloak in it - it does not harm the cloak one bit!

Edit: this is for all those, who wanted a burning wooden sword in Minecraft. I know I wanted one.

Edit2: better explanation.


I got a vita last year from a friend (he played it like a week when it was new) and I just love it! The buttons feel extremely nice and it in itself feels extremely premium and responsive


It seems you don’t know, but we don’t talk about that



They could just release it today with added L/R 2+3 buttons and, even without a game card slot and only an SD slot, it would just fly off the shelves.


I‘ll tell you my boy. Back on the PS3, when Nuke Town Noob-Tubers were real - it was right after we lost the 25 kill streak nuke, which was an instant win - it was the last time I remember not being able to run on walls, have a jetpack. Back then you had to play to unlock new skins and weapons. That one level 37 dude running around with the low level weapon in gold? He was to fear. His K/D was about 12. but all changed when lootboxes appeared. We got colorful skins, not representing the sheer dedication and skill one had to have to unlock it, only showing the money the player spent in order to archieve it.


It reads like it would be a game similar to “A normal lost phone” and "another lost phone“ - two of the best phone puzzle games I‘ve played.

I might give Her Story a try


After 22 years and having finally played Kingdom Hearts, I can say that it feels like faster, less technical version of that.

In FF7 you just mash square (was it square?) against bosses and doge mid-attack, the ATB fills up while waiting and guarding, while in KH you have to wait for openings because the boss throws like 5 combos at you and gives you enough time to hit it with 4 hits and magic, which only fills up after being completely drained.

Edit: (Probably biased opinion because I finished all 13 Kingdom Hearts games for the first time over the past 8 weeks)


The problem is that most people are lazy. They don’t download an alternate App Store, because of security reasons, and, with all the “improvements to security” it’s getting harder to download one in the first place.


I support this.

My gaming PC is not suitable for Windows11. I don’t play much, but I do play.

I switch to Pop!_OS in June, did not like it that much but it got the job done.

I’ve been using SteamOS on this machine since mid September and honestly I don’t ever want to go back.


You can not win against Nintendo.

Kids don’t want it because of the games and adults don’t want it because there’s better alternatives.


Clickbait. Dude bought a $5 used game disc and couldn’t play it because the PS5 Pro doesn’t have a disc drive.


I’ve just read it quick.

This brings so many new things that this could have been a standalone game, but they decided to make it a DLC. Now everyone is upset that it’s an expensive DLC.

It’s like a $60 Mario Kart shipping with 16 race tracks and then they sell 16 new race tracks for $30 instead of releasing a new game on the same console with only the new courses.


So… like they said with the switch “this will not kill the 3DS”

And it did kill the 3DS


But… but… It deserves a full remake like the one FF7 got =( I want to really feel the opera


Sooo…. Just Like in the PSX Original at this point in the story?


It’s still in the top 20 most sold games last month - ever since it released. It‘s almost as if it is a good game.


don‘t use it is waaay easier said then done. It’s not the first time you’ll need it, not the second time, but there will be this one passage in the game, could even be the final boss on your first try, where there happens to be a mechanic at phase 6 you don’t quite survive. The game then loads in before the first phase of the boss. And because the boss was hard to get there, you rewind for the first time. Then you get hit, and you rewind again.

The first one is hard to use, but it gets easier.

And easier…

And easier…


Long story short:

Nintendo sold about 4-5x the amount of Kirby, Pikmin, Metroid and Xenoblade games on Switch than they did on WiiU and 3DS combined.

Input of a Xeno-series fan: duh. WiiU didn’t sell well and despite Xenoblade Chronicles X (pronounced cross, same name as the main character) being good, it was no system seller. And Xenoblade Chronicles 3D didn’t sell well either, being one of only 11 New3DS games.

Edit: the Kirby games on the 3DS were great! With Planet Robobot one of the best Kirby games ever.


It’s been about 8 years since I played this on PS4 for the first and only time so far. All I remember is a library, some paintings and that the atmosphere was pretty amazing. It’s not your typical survival horror experience where at one point you just Run&Gun your way through hordes of undeads. In the comments I read that you cannot rebind keys and other problems, this could be a no-go for some of you. Also, forced 16:9 aspect ratio is a thing.

What happened to the piped bot? :(


Philips Ambilight 55PUS8109 4K LED Smart TV

Runs on TitanOS


Upvote because it made me angry.

I’ve come to the point where at least some people come to me for advice on buying electronics.

Girl friend asked me for a TV to connect with her PlayStation, not that expensive, 4K/60 and low input delay for casual gaming, and it should last for at least 10 years and should be cheap. Long story short, I got her a 4K/60fps TV with a gaming mode that has like 2~3ms delay for € 550. It‘s a dumb Philips TV running Linux, so no google play and you can remove all spyware. It has apps, but she got the PS to do all of this anyway.


Wait they charge 60 $ for dragon quest 3???

I played the Orginal on NES (rom) and it was a grindfest, so basically 90% of the play time is grinding….


Dragon Quest 8 - The Journey of the Cursed King

I‘m finally doing the fists only run I wanted to do 15 years ago! I even named the Hero "meFisto“


To be fair, the PS5 was the worst investment I made last year. I did never buy a PS4, I own PSX, 2 and 3 tho.



Sadly, there are probably only 5 PS5 exclusives that got no PS4 release… I’ve got one too, I like it, but I think other than Astros Playroom, Spiderman, god of war, final Fantasy 16 and 7-2, there isn’t a single exclusive title.


Huh. That’s something I’ll never see, because I removed YouTube from all my devices, even blocked the website, because my addictive personality got stuck on Shorts and I developed mild depression. It’s been going up ever since.


If I recall correctly, there isn‘t even a single procedural generated game, no?

Edit: made by Nintendo


I love the Pokémon franchise, even grew up with it. And Palworld was just a way better experience than let’s say Scarlet and Violet.

Yes, it was made for PC, which is way more powerful than the switch, yet it ran perfectly fine with ~50 fps on high on my 10 year old PC, while the switch struggles to keep 30.

Granted, a lot of the monsters look like amalgamates of 2-3 Pokémon - but they looked good, like Katress, that fire-gyrados, even that Dragonite-Goodra-Altaria mix looks good IMO.

The world was generic, but unique enough to be explored - and it is too big for the amount of Pals that existed.

I had fun with Pokémon as well, but I only got to play the DLC after I finished Palworld. I did not catch the legendary turtle as of writing this comment because the game is just… boringly slow.


Understandable. It’s definitely possible to use any other cloud service for the saves. Maybe they’ll have some paid save service in the future - I don’t like this, but considering corporate greed in this equation…


But… AI is stupid. I mean it really is dumb. And on top of that, it’s just an amalgamation of things fed to it which in itself is nothing bad, but it limits itself massively when combining things.


I’ve always been a fan of used physical copies. Don’t wanna play GameX on day one because the last time CompanyB released a game it was good but only after updating a couple of GB? Wait a year and get that game used for cheaper than a meal.

Unless it’s Nintendo.



Your personal Masterpieces
Hello Lemmings! I've recently finished the whole Xenosaga series and was impressed by it. Even more than by FF 16 (which was... cutscenes and a few good boss fights). This got me thinking: what else are old games that don't get enough recognition? I'm not talking about the Oceanhorns (which was boring tbh) or Hollow Knifhts, which everyone knows about. More like hidden gems you picked up "because" and liked it. In my case this was Blue Fire, a platformer that mixes Celeste's movement and 3D space. Other games I really enjoyed were Valiant Hearts (WWI point and click) Light Matter (3D puzzle game) Cloudbuilt (a fast mirrors edge) I'm more than happy to read some of your recommendations!
