Me, still waiting for the update for the controller:

You guys are getting emails?!

Played it this year, too. The start felt a bit slow but I really loved it!


You beast! I just managed to reach 58 days :(


Hades 2 (last achievements) and "I was a teenage exocolonist" to play on my own.

"Look outside" to play with my spouse, sharing the controller and suffering from the horrible key mapping, but the game itself is nice!

Hades 2 and Coromon

Already played Hades 2 in early access and now I'm finally getting the whole story. Compared to the first part the new movements needed some time to get used to but I feel like they made a lot of improvements with the in early access. Characters and story (so far) are as good as expected after part 1. I'm definitely not disappointed :)

Coromon on the other hand feels like one of the early Pokemon games with some quality of life additions (e.g. special skills like flying or cut are not linked to your Coromon but a gauntlet you character wears). Most funny part so far: there are two inventor characters linked to the main story Nikola and Thomas who are in a relationship. I feel like someone inserted their favorite science fanfic here :D

Started Triangle Strategy this week. It's an okay title from this genre but it's a bit slow and the story scenes between the fights feel like a drag sometimes. But all in all a solid game though quite expensive, I think (or hope) I bought it on sale.

I had a first gen and bought it at a discount (10% for Newsletter sign up I immediately cancelled after ordering hah). Iirc it cost me about 350€ which was still a lot but compared to what's going on now...

Gifted it to my mother for the grandkids because I bought a steamdeck and never used the switch again.

Coral Island

Feels a bit like a more grown up version of the whole farm / lifesim genre games. Though I don't think they did anything new or groundbreaking it's a very solid game, very wholesome and it's not giving away stuff for free so it doesn't feel too easy.

The features feel thoughtful and like they came either directly from the audience or they at least listened to what people annoyed in other titles.

And commit more war crimes since they had zero to none real consequences so far.

My giant Steam Backlog says it's still on my to pay list. I'll look into it!

That person tactics! This game was my gateway to the amazing world of SRPGs (⁠灬⁠º⁠‿⁠º⁠灬⁠)⁠♡

The timeline I want to be in.. :(

The excerpt from the article is about EU, that's why Germany is ranked first (but also only among the ones mentioned). When you open the link you can see a graph which ranks EU countries first and then rings in the rest of Europe including Switzerland with it's high wages and high costs of living.

Looking at the US and Israel I feel like this is a general issue with power tripping people. But looking at our current political climate.. I have to agree with you: better keep them away from us :D

Hades 2 (got a recent early access update), Persona 4 and Thimbleweed Park

I occasionally use it as a streaming device to watch series and movies. Currently going through King of the Hill which is available on archive.org. It's pretty comfortable with Bluetooth keyboard /mouse.
