I still have every single console and video game I have ever bought, maybe with exception of one red-ringed 360. I'm somewhat of a collector/hoarder, and keep all my old consoles hooked up to a CRT in my upstairs lounge/office.

It definitely used to be the Switch, but I haven't really brought it with me anywhere in a while. The thing I've brought with me more frequently the last few years is my Anbernic RG351M handheld emulator. It can play pretty much any system up to the PS1, but the thing I've used it for like 99% of the time is GBA emulation. The screen on it is the perfect aspect ratio for GBA, and the GBA has such a vast and excellent library of games to choose from. The last thing I played on it was Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, but the game I've played the most by far is Tetris Worlds.

The serious issues Cyberpunk had as its launch made it very difficult for me to get back into playing the game again. Maybe it's time now for me to pull myself together and head right back into it since everything seems okay now.
I had some moment with playing The Witcher 3 : Wild Hunt in the early morning of today.
I would definitely recommend it! It's a great game now, in my opinion at least. I've played it on the PS5 and had zero technical issues.

I've been playing a bunch of different stuff lately. I bought Helldivers 2 last week, and despite some connection and matchmaking issues, my friend and I have been having a blast playing it. I tried playing the game alone, but just kept dying over and over, so I would definitely recommend playing with friends.
I also recently beat Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. A great expansion to a great game in my opinion. I've always though Cyberpunk was a great game, even though I will admit it had some issues at launch.
Also, I got a steering wheel with pedals for Christmas, so I've been playing a bunch of racing games. Mostly Forza Motorsport and Grid: Legends, but also some F1 23, and lately a bit of WRC 23. I've always been a fan of racing games, but a proper steering wheel makes it sooo much more fun.
Lastly, I've been playing a bunch of Brotato on my laptop. It's scratching the exact same itch that Vampire Survivors did for me, I love these kinds of games.

Depends entirely on your distance from the screen. My PC monitors are only 24", but since I sit quite close to them, I personally think it's fine. The main TV in the living room is 55", which also used to be fine, but since my wife and I moved into a new house a few months ago, I find that the couch is now a little too far away from the TV for the 55" to be large enough. I struggled playing Starfield on it because I had a hard time reading pretty much any text. I will definitely be looking to upgrade to a 65" in the near future.

Anime
in Movies & TV
I wouldn't call myself a huge anime fan, but I have watched a few shows. My favorites are probably Death Note and Sword Art Online. More recently I've watched Chainsaw Man and started Jujutsu Kaisen a couple of weeks ago, but I've only watched 2 or 3 episodes so far.

I really don't think I have a least favorite console, but that being said, I'm gonna go with the original GBA. Don't get me wrong, I love the GBA. It has a fantastic library, but actually playing an original GBA without a backlit screen is not a great experience. My GBA growing up was an SP with a frontlit screen, which was marginally better, but still not great. I love playing old games on original hardware, but when it comes to GBA I do prefer playing on my handheld emulator instead.

The easiest answer is always gonna be a current gen console because of the access to both modern games and backwards compatibility, but let's be honest: We all know the real answer is the PS2. With a library of over 1800 games, you could probably quite easily spend the rest of your life playing through the catalogue without getting bored.

I feel like a lot of the games mentioned here are completely missing the definition of "cult following". I might be wrong here, but I interpret cult following to mean a small, but dedicated fan base, while quite a few of the series mentioned here are literally the most popular games in the world.
To me a prime example of a game with a cult following is one that I belong to myself: Alan Wake
I absolutely loved Alan Wake when it first came out. I thought the characters were really interesting, and I loved the storytelling and creepy setting of Bright Springs. It was never a very popular game, but I know that me and a bunch of other people have been very much looking forward to the upcoming Alan Wake 2 for about 13 years now.

I got a 360 in probably 2008. Sadly it red-ringed on me a few years later, so I got my brother's old Elite, and then later a slim model. Then I got a One S in either 2015 or 2016, then I went back and got two different OG Xboxes, one normal black and one crystal. Lastly I got a Series X earlier this year.

I'm honestly not sure if I see myself going back to playing WoW ever again. I played it religiously in my late teens, probably put in several hundred hours, if not thosands. Then at some point I kinda fell off, but would go back and play for a few months whenever a new expansion would come out. Then only a week or two when a new came out. At this point I haven't touched the last two expansions, which means I haven't played in over 5 years. At this point I think the game has changed too much for me to get back into it. At this point, the only way I could really see myself playing it again is WoW Classic now that they've reached Wrath of the Lich King. That's the expansion where I started playing, so it's peak WoW nostalgia for me.

The only two game soundtracks I find myself listening to regularly are Undertale and Paradise Killer, both are just absolutely excellent.

The last game I played was Need For Speed Heat! It's an amazing racing game. Probably one of the best Need for Speed games ever made. My most favorite would be Need For Speed Most Wanted 2005 only though. No racing game can beat the plot that it had.
Totally agree, I love Most Wanted 2005. I remember being super disappointed when the 2013 version came out and had absolutely nothing to do with the original. I though it was gonna be a remake when I first heard of it. If you haven't played it, I highly recommend checking out Unbound. It's probably my favorite NFS game since Most Wanted.
Personally I've basically only been playing Starfield for the past month, and I love it. I do kind of miss the open world exploration element of previous Bethesda games, but I'm still having a really good time with it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm so happy to see Daniel back, but I think people are expecting too much of him. Even by thier own standards the Alpha Tauri has not been a quick car this year, in fact the team has only scraped together 2 points in total so far this season. Slow cars are slow for a reason and it's rarely a sign that the cars are easy to drive, so I actually think he's struggle to match Yuki Tsunoda for the first couple racing until he gets to grip with the car.
I'm not entirely clear on the rules, but are Red Bull and Alpha Tauri not allowed to share any research? Clearly they basically share drivers, the only reason I can think of for why the Red Bull car is god tier and the Alpha Tauri car is a shitbox is that it would be against the rules.

Crash Bandicoot 2! I remember that we got our PS1 on a saturday, but my parents didn't realize that we needed a memory card to save the game. We ended up leaving the console running the whole weekend until we could buy a memory card on monday.

I'm playing Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and I'm really enoying it. My only issue with it is that it does not run at a stable 60 fps on the Xbox Series X, pretty far from it. I heard that this was an issue at launch, but I was hoping that it would have been fixed by the time I got around to playing it. It's not really a big issue with this kind of game, but since buying the current gen consoles I've really gotten used to pretty much only playing at 60 fps.

Of course, it's great to see the Honey Badger back on the grid... ideally, I'd like to see him at a more competitive team, but I'm just glad he's there 🙂 .
If he does good at AT the rest of the season, I honestly think Checo should be worried next season...

I'm really happy at the news that Daniel Ricciardo is coming back! Very sad for de Vries obviously, shame he didn't even get to finish his first season, but he has quite a bit of previous experience and has said himself that he didn't want to get treated like a rookie. Clearly Alpha Tauri had higher expectations from him.
Danny has been one of my favorite drivers mainly because of his charisma, he really seems like a great buy, so I was pretty sad when McLaren let him go. Really looking forward to seeing him back on the track next weekend!

I just finished up Diablo 4! That is, completed the main campaign, I'll definitely be going back and doing more dungeons and leveling up some more.
Next up for me is, at last, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. I bought it from a friend several months ago but haven't had the time to play it until now. I really enjoyed the first game, and from everything I've heard, I think this one is going to be even better!

Let me tell you a little story about two games. One of them is EyeToy: Antigrav for the Playstation 2, released in 2004. The other is Sonic Freeriders for the Xbox 360 Kinect released in 2010. They are both games about riding a hoverboard while using your body to control the action. I'll give you one guess at which one of them functions better.
I'm not saying the Kinect is directly to blame for Sonic Freeriders being an unplayable mess, there are definitely some Kinect games that work a lot better, but overall I wouldn't say I was a huge fan of the Kinect.

I think there is a topic either on F1 or motorsport buried in the threads somewhere, but I'll just leave it and keep this thread open as I don't think anyone has posted to it in ages.
And yes, big F1 fan here. Mostly a Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton fan, even though it's been a rough couple of years, but enjoy good racing. Loving this resurgence for Aston Martin and Fernando Alonso and It's nice to see Ferrari topping the times sheets again. Really not a fan of Max Verstappen though. I'm not denying that he's amazing in the car, truly a once in a generation talent, but I hate his attitude. He's disrespectful, selfish and he just bitches and moans about everything. Even his massive success has done nothing to subdue his manners, if anything he's actually gotten worse the last 2-3 years. At least he has that success to justify his ego. The only thing anyone remembers his dad for was being set on fire, and his attitude is, well, let's just say with Max, it's clear whare it comes from.
I'm over two months late with this reply, but hey.
I absolutely agree about Max. There's no denying he's an excellent driver. Obviously the Red Bull car is excellent, but Max can still run circles around Checo in the same machinery. That being said, he really is kind of an asshole. The fact that he refused to let Checo though in Brazil last year, when Max was already named champion and Checo still needed the points really says everything you need to know about him.
I started following the sport early last year and have mainy been a Leclerc fan, but since he joined Aston Martin I've really become a big fan of Alonso. He just seems like such a genuinely nice guy, always grateful to his team. I was also really impressed with McLaren during sundays race at Silverstone. Really hope they can keep this kind of performance up.
Do you have any favorite game developer?

It's difficult to pick one, but Remedy is definitely up there for me. I'm a huge fan of Alan Wake, and I've loved everything they've put out. I even really liked Quantum Break, even though pretty much no one else did.
