Yeah, it’s definitely concerning how companies handle user data. Transparency is key, and if Ubisoft is sharing information without users’ consent, they really need to face the consequences. It makes you wonder how many other companies are doing the same thing behind the scenes.

The Platform (Netflix) - 8.5/10

Was playing some more Black Myth Wukong.

The song that makes me cry is Aaliyah - I miss you because a childhood friend had died around the same time when this song came out so I always remember him.

Nintendo has always been tight-wads when it came to emulators and things like that. Hopefully it comes to nothing.

We all know that music can make or break a gaming experience! Whether it’s an epic orchestral score, a catchy chiptune, or a haunting melody, certain tracks stick with us long after the game ends. What’s your favorite song from a video game? Share the title, the game it’s from, and what makes it special to you.

Let's settle the debate! When it comes to RPGs, everyone has their preferred fighting class. Do you love the brute strength and resilience of a warrior, the mystical powers and versatility of a mage, or the stealth and cunning of a rogue? Share your favorite class and why it stands out to you! What abilities or playstyles do you enjoy most? Let's hear your thoughts and any memorable moments that highlight why your choice is the best.

I'm curious to know who everyone typically picks when they jump into Super Smash Bros. Do you have a main character that you feel most comfortable with, or do you like to switch it up? What draws you to your choice - playstyle, nostalgia, or maybe even just the aesthetics?

Do you find that your gaming experiences watching help you become a better friend? Whether it’s through shared experiences, teamwork in games, or the emotional connections formed through storytelling, I’m curious about how these activities impact our friendships. Do they help you communicate better, share interests, or provide support?

I definitely prefer cinematic dialogue! It adds a layer of immersion and emotion to the experience. The close-ups can really capture the characters' feelings and help us connect with the story on a deeper level.

Definitely the Water Temple from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. No matter how many times I play through it, I still get lost trying to raise and lower the water levels. It's a nightmare.

I’d say Outer Wilds. It’s a game about curiosity, learning, and the inevitability of change. It doesn’t just present these ideas as a narrative, but builds them into how you play and explore the world. I found its message about impermanence both humbling and beautiful.

With zombies lurking at every corner, you can't afford to be complacent or else you're finished in-game.

Yep. I used to play Duck Hunt and Super Mario brothers on the original Nintendo console when I was about 3 years old. That is what got me into gaming.

GTA San Andreas - I mean you could go almost anywhere in-game. Go to the gym and train if you wanted to grow stronger - use skills repeatedly to develop your character. It gave you a sense of freedom in terms of what you wanted your character to be really good at.

That happens to me all the time in RPGs like The Witcher 3. I’d finish a quest, and I’d still be paranoid I missed a side quest or optional dialogue that could have changed the outcome. The scale of those games makes it tough to know when you’re truly done with something.

Not at all. I'm normally catch on to games pretty quickly so even as a novice, I tend to outperform people with a bit more experience than me.

Compare to 20-30 years ago, I'd say that game mechanics are much more simplistic - Back in the day, when you wanted to pull off combos in fighting games, you had to be pressing several buttons simultaneously and you had to time it or else you couldn't pull them off. Tekken and Mortal Kombat were guilty of this in the past.
