  • Nothing sticks in my mind anymore. I tried to reinstall CP2077 and do a replay, but ultimately each time i exit it gets harder to start up and resume. I struggle to bother remembering which part of the story im am at. 20 years ago i would get “tetris effect” from pretty much any game I play; daydreaming about an RPG im playing, see tetris blocks falling into place, etc. Nowadays I don’t even get that with literal Tetris Effect.

    It may be work life, stress etc. But part of myself just feels gaming is missing that old multiplayer feel where a whole bunch of us are in the Computer Science Lab, installing Doom 3 on the lab machines and playing til they kick us out at midnight. I’m also missing that feel of a whole bunch of us huddled in a McDonalds playing Mario Kart DS multiplayer, screaming so loud when someone triggers a lighting bolt, that the store manager essentially banned us from playing there ever again.

    As for games like 2077, the sad realization is that the denouement leaves the me kinda confused more than anything. so many games I finish now leave me checking online to ask “What was that?”

    I feel old now.



  • I left when I read that Blizzard staff got the axe while Kotick got himself a sweet sweet money enema of a bonus.

    When Michael Chu left in 2020 i started playing more Monster Hunter and Genshin. When Jeff Kaplan left I finally uninstalled Battle.net.

    Now unless you dedicate a full time job amount of hours, you’ll be lucky to get 4 unlocks a seasons

    Thanks. At least I have some affirmation I made the right choice. At least I can be content I’m playing something worthwhile like Genshin. #damnedeitherway 🤣 🤣 🤣
