You have probably heard of this one, it is an award winning title that came out around 2019 and has been making the rounds as one of the best videogames of all time. I had heard of it when it came out, often confused with Outer Worlds which came out in the same year, but other than it being about exploring space, I didn’t know much about it. Last year, when I beat 1000xRESIST—another incredible game you should definitely play—my friend Jeremy kept pushing me to try this one next. I completed lik…

A non-spoilery comparison review of the two re-launched series of The Traitors in Australia and New Zealand.
Watching Traitors AU S03 after watching Traitors NZ S03 you would not think they are made by the same production team. And I'm not really sure why. The whole point of having both shows made by the same team is to save money by splitting costs and essentially using the same framework for both seasons. The key thing in this game is the personalities and two groups of people playing the exac…

Do you ever feel like you’re paying for a subscription but don’t end up using it as much as you thought? For instance, I paused my Netflix subscription after having it for a few months. I must have watched one or two movies on it. Ditto with getting an annual MUBI subscription. Just one movie watched. Actually, I bought a new TV a few months ago thinking I’d use it to watch movies over streaming, but that didn’t turn out to be the case.
These days, I mostly watch short videos on YouTube about va…

I won't do a rehash of the previous article that I wrote back in February of 2026. It was a very lengthy process and since its birth, I've updated some things. If you want to go read that, please do that now before continuing further in this post or you will be lost as hell.
With a lot of projects, testing, updating, re-testing, and improvements are bound to happen. This project is no different and 6 months later, it's time for an update post.

Twitch schedule, for EU time -1 hour
Blaugust is almost over and the autumn is at our doorstep already, weather sure didn’t wait for its appointment time. Big posting today to wrap up Blaugust and finish the challenge properly, but that’s after the stream, for now just a bit of plans and scheduling.
Days off Tuesday and Saturday this week, hopefully one of the last Saturdays off for a while, but I bet not the last one yet. This week my birthday and next week is my dad’s birthday + one of my frie…

Hand-crafted with pure creativity and madskillz back in a day
Time to touch this hot topic a bit, today’s gaming news recap was full of AI related news, opinion pieces and interviews, feel like it’s a good time to look at it from my angles today. Not gonna do any moral and ethical grandstanding here, because I don’t think I’m a beacon of ethics and moral myself and I surely play/use/consume other things that aren’t clean from ethics and moral perspective.
My general opinion on AI is cautiously o…

So that secret appointment I mentioned last week was my HoMM3 Remake remote play session that Ubisoft invited me to. This week was a bit weird, since I had my plans with friends during Gamescom Opening Night Live show and for next couple of days too, so I returned streaming when it was all announced and discussed somewhat. Another issue is that my gameplay footage captured by demoists haven’t arrived yet, so I don’t have my own screenshots and video material to show and to talk on stream. For no…

As I mentioned, more new games that I couldn’t fit in my Friday segment spilled to Saturday stream. Just two games though, so not a big post here
Breathedge 2
Got early review access from the publisher, so trying it before it releases next week. With first game I had a complicated relationship – I started playing when it first release in Early Access with just the first chapter available and while humour was a bit hit or miss, I still enjoyed it. Later they released chapter two update and you ne…

Joar of MMO Casual has a post up about tracking gaming hours. As I was saying only the other day, it's not a thing I've ever done, or not with any precision or intent, at least. I've always been happy enough with a rough estimate.
It used to be very easy, back when I was working something close to full time. I could add up evenings and weekends and come to something pretty close. Playing mostly one MMORPG at any given time made it easier to keep track, too.
Sidebar: I've actually not worked full…

Version 4 added both content and changes that I felt were the next natural evolution of the prototype I was building.
I asked a couple of friends at work what the next character should be for my campgrounds circuit. One of my friends at work is named Sue, but everyone calls her Yogi. I'm not sure how that nickname came to be, but Yogi loves bunnies more than any other animal in the world. She owns seven of them and makes yearly calendars featuring her bunnies. Her desk at work is covered with ce…

I stream lots of music from the internet since I work from home. I listen to the radio when I'm in my car. There was a short period where I was listening to internet radio!
Crawl by Kings of Leon
Yeah, I haven't thought about interent radio in a long time. I'm sure its still around. I would prefer to choose what I listen too. There was a site I discovered that had personalized internet radio. You could upload your own music into a playlist and others could listen to it. The site claimed it was l…

(This is my twenty-seventh post in a series of entries I’m using to participate in Blaugust for 2026.)
As I type this, I’m watching a well-made documentary about the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster. It’s not on Netflix, Hulu, or even YouTube. Well, maybe it is, but that’s not where I’m watching it.
PBS has been building a rather impressive website, complete with streaming video. It has closed captions, different resolution options, and even playback speed controls.
It also has an option to go to…

Today I'm continuing my discussion of prototype patch notes for Poetry Slammers. Today: version three!
Overall, the goal remained to help boost the charm of the game, and while creating fully animated characters wasn't in my grasp, I decided to make it a bit like the old web game gifs of the 90's where you imply animation through four or five character poses. The other option would have been to separate out arms, legs, and other features, then tween them between positions, but that seemed like a…

It's 7:53 AM EDT, 68°F, Humidity 79%, Wind 11 mph S, sunny, AQI 48
Yesterday was sort of a busy day. I went through my morning routine, with the exception of a walk. I just didn't feel like it. I have to get back into that routine. It became a day of errands and technology.
The first thing I did was fill out yet another online set of questions and documents for my upcoming colonoscopy. It seems to me these days that you get far too many emails, texts, and other constant reminders of a…

It may have been some point during the COVID lockdown that I stumbled upon Nebula / Nebula TV, or as a service bundled into Curiosity Stream. I found Nebula had quite a few of the quality YouTube creators I have long enjoyed and it is ad free. Nebula is creator owned. I had been following Sam Denby and Wendover Productions - Wikipedia on YouTube for a while, and its more witty, “Half as Interesting” which are core parts of Nebula. I also found some of the urbanist and productivity creators that…

Star Wars: The Old Republic launched in December 2011 with a promise that sounded, at the time, close to impossible. Eight class stories. Fully voiced. Every conversation, every quest handoff, every throwaway line from a random NPC on Nar Shaddaa. An MMO built like a BioWare single-player game and stretched across a whole galaxy.
I bought that promise immediately, and I want to be clear that it delivered on it.
Here's why it hit me so hard specifically. Eight class stories is altoholic catnip of…

Some security issues, Steam as a monopoly, and some blog posts.
Start of a new week and I once again have had a bit of time to catch up with my rss feeds. Unfortunately the time I was going to use on putting together this post on Monday got delayed by me having to prep for a phone job interview which happened on Tuesday (today) morning.

Well, that was a bit of a surprise. A pleasant one, too. I finally managed to get in and play some Stars Reach and guess what? I quite enjoyed it.
I played for about an hour and a half. Maybe a little more. I didn't time it and I can't remember exactly how long I already had on my Steam counter, which carried over from the pre-alpha.
As well it might. They can call it Early Access if they like. (They are calling it Early Access.) They can sell expensive Founders Packs (They are selling expensive…

Intensity
Some might say my game has an intensity when it comes to situations in expeditions. I don't know for sure, since my playtesters haven't actually come across an expedition where they were faced with some sort of strained choice. There were a few close calls, one being a Digosfrag and the other a Porcelain Seer. One group killed the Digosfrag outright, while the other convinced it that they weren't a viable host. As for the Porcelain Seer, it never escalated far enough to trigger that fi…

Yesterday was something of a recovery day. Son2's visits are always such a whirlwind that the next day we have to stop and take our breaths.
I had left the kitchen a mess overnight, and so the first thing I had to do was clean up. It was mostly the pans used to make the chicken parm dinner. I also emptied the dishwasher so it would take the small load of dishes left. It's a messy job in the morning. Following tha…
