Like I said, GOG is fine. I just find value in what Steam offers, but I do occasionally pick up games from GOG.

Silksong was developed by two people and the launch has crashed every gaming platform -
Silksong was developed by two people and the launch has crashed every gaming platformThat's not true, here are a few more: - Steam Deck compatibility - not exactly fair, but it is what it is - Steam Input - I tend to piggy back off Steam using Heroic Launcher - library organisation features - I think Heroic has this now though? I use Linux, so I don't know if galaxy has this That said, I think GOG is fine. -
Humble Choice games for September 2025Last month was decent with Persons 5 Royal and couple others, but this one is pretty bad IMO. -
I group my games by interest:I group my games by interest: - probably never - games I disliked or games in genres I don't like (mostly from bundles) - maybe later - no intent to play, but there's a chance - soon - games I'm excited to play - playing - up to 5 games I'm "playing" - done - played enough that I'm satisfied and don't intend to touch again - replay - game still has replay value, but I'm done with it for now - sequels - something in soon or playing must come first This helps a bit with deciding what to play next and works well for me. -
I find the backlog phenomenon bizarre.Just to echo the other comments about bundles, look at Humble Bundle right now, choice is $15 and has Persona 5 Royal and 8 other games, and P5R's historical low is $20. I think some of the other games on the bundle are cool too, but I'm probably not going to play most of them right away, of at all. Likewise for Fanatical build your own bundles, sometimes one or two games makes the bundle worth it. And there's also free games from EGS and occasionally GOG and other stores. I haven't spent a penny at EGS, yet I have hundreds of games and have finished maybe 3. I only buy a game when I want to play it soon (next month or so), but sometimes it's cheaper to get a bundle than just that game. I don't spend a ton on games, but I have a ton. -
Nintendo Switch 2 Has Sold 2 Million Units in the U.S., 75% Ahead of the Switch 1's Pace> since 2019 It's been going on _much_ longer than that, it's what companies do. If they can get away with it, they increase prices. -
1 year a go today, Concord was released.There's absolutely room for interesting LGBTQ and minority characters in a mainstream game. For example: - femboy who happens to be really good at sniping or shanking people - obese person as your tank or support - trans (either way) as a ninja or shape shifter (maybe a little on the nose?) And so on. Make them interesting to play as, and *also* include some "traditional" characters (hot, scantily clad women, muscular men, etc). Each character should be interesting, visually distinct, competitive to play with, and not too stereotypical. Games should be fun first and foremost, then interesting, etc. Including minorities is a pretty distant nice to have, so if you're going to do it, make them fun and interesting to play with. -
1 year a go today, Concord was released.Exactly! In games like these, there's slowl absolutely room for minority or less "appealing" character design. Give them interesting abilities that match their character design and they'll see play. But you should also have some conventionally "appealing" characters because it turns out people like to role play as someone more attractive than they see themselves IRL. Provide a good mix so people can role play however they want, and keep things balanced such that some of the minority characters see play by the min/maxers.
