Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I wish people would vote with they're wallets and be more conscious with they're spending habits.
It’s the most bizarre and almost worrying thing now how much video games have transitioned into this “game of the month” thing - where seemingly everyone with a computer all goes and buys the same game each month because it got hyped up by the twitch steamers they watch or whatever.
Just strange. “Are you playing Lethal Company? Everyone’s playing it. Oh, you wanna play Lethal Conpany? Everyone’s playing Palworld now. Oh shit man, we’re not playing that anymore, Dragons Dogma 2 is out”
Those people have always been around. They want to be a part of the current conversation. And that's cool. There are plenty of people who wait years to play games until the ultimate version with all DLC goes on sale for 50% off. I'm one of those people. But I also don't care about being a part of the conversation. I'm just a patient gamer who never spends more than 15$ for a game.
I'm doing my part to be part of the conversation by finally playing Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. It was in my library and I've never played it. Figured I'd check out what all the fuss is about without dropping $70 bucks.
