I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

I get a silly amount of pleasure from writing these, so its always a huge relief to see it not go down like a lead balloon!!!

Seems to be the perfect time to find a Switch OLED instead! With a new model coming, surely people will try to offload their current gen consoles at a cheap rate!

Please do keep on with Death Stranding! It really opens up and shows you the whole world in a bit of time. Its an investment, but to me it is pure cinema and art. I adore it so much.

And thank you, I’m just happy to get any comment saying these are positive for people. I appreciate you saying so!

I can confirm having added a few of these in the past - they just work!!!

Yeah, its an odd thing. In the last one of these I posted a user said they raised the issue with the Dev, so a fix on this is being pushed out.

Weirdly through Thunder or Jerboa or the webpage its snappy and no lag though. So seems specific to Boost :)

Thank you so much!!!

9 of these so far, and it seems like I’m averaging every…3/4 days. Which sounds unhealthy when I see it in black and white -__-

(I keep promising everyone and myself that these will be one-per-week, but so far? I can’t stop mysefl!)

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! Always makes me smile seeing someone enjoyed these!!!

I’m unsure, but the last game on the blacklist for your country for giveaway was F1 Manager 20X (the ‘X’ means I can’t remember its year…2024? 2023?) - really recently. And then 6 days afterwards it was offered for claiming in Australia (edit: AND Brazil, by memory. This was maybe 3 weeks ago?).

So…there’s a snowball chance in Hell that maybe it still will? Maybe?

And people judged me for watching YouTube with uBlock Origin, or via NewPipe for eons.

Look who’s laughing now.

He is and does!

I didn’t include a link to it in case my post felt like it pushed people to shops, or whatever (tbh its probably a remnant of paranoia from Reddit days - having mods remove posts for a myriad of reasons!)

But here is a link to his etsy store selling exactly this! Just looked it up and found it for you :)

And they won’t stop coming!!!

I think I found KCD II easier to sink into than the first. The first one I played maybe 10 hours of and kinda walked away. I told myself it was too open-ended. Maybe I need a little structure to my games to make me feel less overwhelmed?

That turned out to be obvious nonsense though, since the second is even more open-ended and I just love it. Like I said though, I really found I needed mods to make it less like ‘work’. But I know I am in the minority because it’s not as the developers wanted it to be.

I’m…waiting for more before I can really form an opinion on Perfect Dark. I adore how it kinda feels like a loose spiritual successor to Deus Ex, if that makes sense? I’m hoping it stays true to what the original was. Weirdly I feel like Selaco gave me similar feelings of ‘high-tech-corpo-espionage/action’ that Perfect Dark once did, though it’s a completely different game.

This is honestly so sweet to read, thank you for making me feel like my silly little posts can make a little bit of an impact :)

And, I think everyone here - especially on Lemmy - understand that feeling of things becoming ‘too much’ lately. Heck, I just ran away to Rome to drink coffee, play chess and avoid real life because it all feels a bit much right now. So I understand completely!!!

Keep on claiming those free games! Its my fav deal in gaming now - for the cost of a Prime subscription you get a whole bunch of games, each week! A lot of quality GOG games, alongside Epic and Amazon’s own.

You can’t lose by claiming them, each month suprieses me with how much I get for an add-on to a subscription I already use :)

Weirdly I did, but you’re absolutely right. I had 100% utterly forgotten that! How odd!

Thanks for reminding me!

Its a tough one! I tried twice before it made me head over heels. Just…take your time, the whole first gigantic area (to me) is like the tutorial area, just get through those cut scenes and then you’re really on your own.

Try soak in the atmosphere, but do remember it’s not for everyone!

I really, really love the game now. It actually takes my breath away. Heck it even inspired me to get Death Stranding items (I’m loathe to use the word ‘merch’) from Japan. And let me know what you think of it! I’m super interested how you find it :)

Yes, absolutely.

Even better, unlike Steam you own the of line installers, so you’ll always be able to own that game, even if GOG itself closed down.

Oops, link is fixed!!!

And definitely Cemu for BoTW, its like an entirely different experience, and its the same game as on Switch!!!

I haven’t ever been too picky with FPS when playing on the Steam Deck, so I’m not the best to ask. They have optimized it far more than the first KCD. And to me? It ran beautifully.

I had zero issues with it.

Here is the link to ProtonDB’s page for KCD II. Its a good way to see what a bunch of users have experienced, and the settings they’ve recommended!

Speaking of Gameboy on the Steam Deck, have you seen this effort of the GBOperator?

I feel like you’ll enjoy that link!

Sadly the price of Japanese consoles went up a heap over Covid, though you can still get some amazing deals with proxy bidding and buying services, if you take your time!
