  • “Done” doesn’t always mean complete, generally that’s where games go that I didn’t finish, never returned, and don’t plan on ever playing again.

    But to answer your question

    Far Cry: horrible update, AI is broken, don’t care to fix it

    Far Cry Primal: Didn’t hate it but I didn’t love it, caused major eye pain too so I couldn’t play long.

    Penumbra: Requiem: Abandoned the vibes of the previous two penumbra games which were the precursors to the amnesia games, didn’t enjoy the puzzles either.

    Planet Centauri: Development Hell, no interest anymore.

    Sniper Elite: weird funky controls just not enjoyable for me got about midway through before tapping out.

    We happy few: mostly abandoned by the devs, game suffered due to being rushed.

    Out of those I beat 3, the rest I either didn’t make the return window or kept for library collection reasons.






  • Tbh I really enjoy shorter games that are reasonably priced.

    I probably only find the time to play 1-2 150+ hr game a year. The rest of my free time is spent socializing, dealing with shit like college, or playing shorter games that I can knock out in multiple 1-2 hour sessions within two weeks

    I hate how so many games are demanding of your time today, or feed off that annoying FOMO feeling.

    I’m happy that I know Baldurs gate will always be there and I’m really not going to miss out on anything important. Maybe I’ll get to it next year lol



  • Modal transport design is probably a huge reason why this works. I would be interested to see the pedestrian deaths in a packed busy city like NYC vs the wide suburban roads of the rest of America.

    My theory is that roads designed with the purpose of driving faster (designed with a higher modal level) are commonly placed within high pedestrian areas within the US (Stroads) and due to that higher modal mental state people are “comfortable” and thus use their phones as their brains are less occupied. While in a busy city street they’re in that 1st modal mental state so they are focused on their surroundings way more.
