    Heyyy, Final Fantasy XIV is having a free login event!

    They’re so silently advertised I sometimes miss them. Basically, if you are a Shadowbringers/Endwalker player, and dropped to play other games, you can currently resume your account for 14 days without paying. (If you are back in ARR, Heavensward, or Stormblood, hopefully you are still using a trial account anyway and this doesn’t affect you)

    I am playing Mafia Definitive Edition this week.

    I already played the original and given the good reviews on this edition I think is worth a revisit.

    Is PoE a good experience for new players currently? The hype got me interested in PoE2 but it’s so far away still…

      I thought you were asking for Pillars of Eternity for a second.

      I think it depends on what you are after. There are tons of content to enjoy if you are not in a “competitive” mode. Let me know if you know some good alternatives though

    With the recently posted awkward ‘concept’ of a second Steam Deck and an influx of cool Deck-modding posts, what do you think it needs to look like in the next generation? What peripherals or whatever it needs to have?

    And would it be better if Valve also licensed other companies to make more Proton-based handhelds using their R&D findings?

    I have lots of free time after many busy weeks and looking for games to play… Just finished Shrouded Isle as I was looking for something similar to Cultist Simulator and it was OK

    Might buy BG3 or finish Pathfinder Kingmaker this time but not really sure.

    I am not even sure if I want to play games or read a book or watch a movie or something

    I know everyone’s on Baldur’s Gate 3 lately but I just finished Death Stranding and I teared up. What a game, what a story, what an experience. Highly recommended to anyone looking for something atmospheric and unique. Making deliveries may sound boring but I found that if you just take your time and really let it take over your mind, it’s so easy to get lost in it all.
