  • I can count on one hand the number of games I’ve finished in the last 4-5 years. Off the top of my head

    • The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
    • Spider-Man (PS4)
    • Red Dead Redemption II
    • L.A. Noire
    • Middle Earth: Shadow of War

    Games I stopped playing:

    • Horizon: Zero Dawn (PC)
    • Cyberpunk 2077
    • Disco Elysium (I know. right.)
    • DEATHLOOP
    • Spider-Man: Remastered (PC)
    • Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey
    • Divinity: Original Sin II
    • Dying Light 2
    • Half Life - Alyx
    • Boneworks
    • The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
    • Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords (I think I did complete this game once when I was 14 or so)
    • Kingdom Come: Deliverance
    • Fallout 4 (I did complete the story to this a long time ago but I wanted to give it another go a couple years back)




  • Seriously, why the fuck has advertising become so incredibly insidious and pervasive in recent years? I can’t go anywhere on the internet and not see ads or a warning to turn off my ad blocker or message telling me to subscribe to view the content. Worse, I can’t even be out in public in the city without having another fucking ad shoved in my face. I was recently walking downtown at 1 am or so waiting on an uber and really enjoying the cool night air, not on my phone or anything, just enjoying the moment, and I saw an insanely bright billboard advertising something.

    I feel like ads are just starting to really wear on me. I’m sick of consuming and being told to consume and being manipulated in the death throes of capitalism.
