I'm going to do these periodically.

Title kinda says all.

I'll have my own reply later.

Special weekly question:

What do you like most about 2023's repertoire of video games?

    Got BG3 on PS5, played it for basically 100 hours straight, loved every second of it. AW2 on ps5 as well, really really enjoyed it, despite some pitfalls, it really scratched my Twin Peaks itch. If it weren't for BG3, that would be my GotY, easy.

    Mostly through Cyberpunk 2077 now, pirated a 2.0 repack. Its....fine? I lol'd really hard at all the glitches when it first launched and a huge majority of those seem to be gone, and it plays decent enough on my high-mid tier setup, but man, the story is bad, the the gameplay is mediocre, and to be honest, all of the effects, while gorgeous, just make the game that much more unreadable. Its sensory overload, every frame, and that could have been used to be an awesome critique of capitalism, the writers don't understand what that means.

      I have Baldur's Gate 3 on my Steam Deck and it's running well and looks well, though the PS5 version seems like a treat.

      Oh, and Alan Wake 2 looks amazing, but I probably won't play it till much later; I have a bunch of other games I want to get through first.

      I got AW2 started a week or so ago but those jump scares at the beginning really got me. I loved Control, but never tried AW1. Wasn't prepared for the horror elements I guess

      Hard to find time to play when I'm now only willing to play it in the light of day
