The aggressive monetisation of this game is making me fall out of love with it.
Just to preface, I've been playing WoW most of my life (since TBC) and it's embarrassing to see just how much Blizzard is trying to wring every last penny out of players right now. Expansions are ...

Love this game. Didn’t ever use this even once.

Love Helldivers, Hate this Sub - Message to the Devs.
Leaving the sub again because, once again, I've realized that this is just an echo chamber for folks to get riled up. I love the game and I don't mind if it's a little buggy; the worst thing about thi...

What happened to The Void subplot??
AH has been really quiet about The Void story lately. The Illuminate is such an interesting race lore wise, and The Void made me interested in the faction even more. Will they continue with the story?

I started playing stardew valley way back in 2021. To say that I love this game would be an understatement. There were a lot of days where I just lost track of time completely absorbed and playing fro...

I love Apple, don't let subscriptions kill the ecosystem

A feature that needs to die out already in games is them letting you use a healing item when you’re at full health
Especially in something like resident evil where it’s limited. You accidentally hit the heal button and it’s like damn it should’ve just cancelled out instead of wasting it

Do you have a rule or habit you follow on every playthrough?
I only start (and head immediately to) Pickman Gallery whenever I first see dead raiders with Pickman’s Calling Card on them. This run it was at level 18.
