In between my spikes of melancholy, isolation and loneliness I’m currently playing Tekken 8. The game can be extremely frustrating and unfair but I don’t have anything else to play and I’m running out of money so I won’t buy anything else this year. WWE 2k24 has been a disappointment this year, cyberpunk was a disappointment, stardew valley has been a disappointment. Warframe, another disappointment, that game feels that has no real direction or sense of progress.

Seems like modern games aren’t good anymore (I guess stardew valley isn’t new but whatever).

The only decent modern decent game I played this year is Re4remake…

I was planning of buying the new Spider-Man game, but after seeing the promotional material, it turned me off.

I don’t get it, is that a link for Windows? I don’t see any games or search bar

actually you should be running a VPN before you do anything–wait until you can buy one. don’t use “free” VPNs. but once you get to that place, google qbittorrent tutorial or something similar. there are a number of steps to setup your trackers/settings

Depends on the country you’re in. I never use VPN with BitTorrent.

Okay wait, how are Cyberpunk and Stardew both disappointments? If you’d mentioned Starfield I’d believe you but both those games are critically acclaimed and for good reason.

For my part, I’ve been playing No Man’s Sky and I just restarted Tears of the Kingdom. I might dig into my retro library and start up Golden Sun though, it’s been a while and I’m due for a replay.

My guess is at time they feel like jobs. Doing tasks all day often takes the fun out of doing more tasks.

There’s a humble bundle for Lego games. If you want some mindless fun that’s a good option.

Nothing much, a little Trackmania here, a little RDR2 there (still haven’t finished the story). Mostly small casual daily games at !dailygames@lemmy.zip
