maybe CDPR (hopefully the cp2077 release was just a fluke but we’ll see).
Cyberpunk 2077 was Witcher 1 repeat tbh, people forgot Witcher 1 was a mess at launch since they patched it up a bunch and some other stuff to try to make amends
Saw where you mentioned being into fighting games, action games, & shmups, so I wonder which games you find yourself bouncing off of more.
Along with reasons other have mentioned that are similar to my own (many games demanding a lot of time, better finding what games really click with me, etc.), I've also been put off by other details (hyper-monetization, big budget photorealistic & cinematic styles, etc.). Personally it's less being into very few games, and more being into more specific kinds of game design and creative style, which are sometimes harder to find.
Like not being into drawn out progression systems immediately narrows one's options pretty significantly, especially among many recent games.
This is as good a reason as any to buy box sets or borrow others' copies.
This is more fitting for the aforementioned Perchance community ([email protected]) than here, so going to lock this. Also reads too much like an ad, instead of inviting discussion.
Thanks! Similar posts to this have had me thinking on this point in particular:
Curation comes before a chronological list. The chronological list is still there, but when you click "all articles" instead of numbered pages, all of the articles on that page are visible.
The Further Reading links are also a good read.
Instead of always being a "performance" level of blogging, it can be a looser more human endeavor that drops the idea of robots sorting the content (in this case simply by date created) and embraces the idea of curation, by me, for you.
Good stuff.
Cool video! Enjoyed seeing a little behind the scenes on the process, interesting stuff!
Btw in the body text of your post, you'd want two spaces after the exclamation point on the line saying, "Hope you enjoy!" so the image would appear below it.
An interesting read, and good recognition of how so often decentralized networks do end up using some centralized components to compensate for the gaps formed.
Pretty sure all the adweb enclosures have been doing this for years now. Even pre-Musk acquisition people mentioned that Twitter seemed to bury posts with links, this is just Musk putting it upfront.
This is how these businesses try to squeeze people for money. Bury outbound links unless you pay up to have them as ads/sponsored/promoted posts.

The second image includes a reply from a semi-private account, so while I found the link it won't let you view it directly without a Bsky account. For those interested anyway, here's the link:

You might try copy and pasting the link into your instance's search bar to try to get it to fetch/sync the post so that you may reply to it. That's how it generally works in my experience when running into your situation, supposing your instance isn't defederated from the other person's.
Their previous game, In Other Waters, is also well worth checking out. Different style of gameplay, but similar focus on narrative.
Don't leave us hanging! Quality endures the ages, well, mostly.
