    I wouldn’t be surprised if book readers spend 92% of their time on older books. Or if music listeners spend 92% of their time on older pieces.

    • 7.1% of the total hours spent were on Counter-Strike: Global Offensive / Counter-Strike 2
    • 6.4% were in League of Legends
    • 6.2% were in Roblox
    • 5.8% were in Dota 2
    • 5.4% were in Fortnite

    Proud to say I don’t play any of those. Screw live service games, there are plenty of other gems out there to keep me entertained.

    What counts as an “older game?” Surely not… thinks about the games I played last week …Tie Fighter or Dune 2?

        Another amazing one.

        Ohhh, and the original Diablo. Tristram was such a familiar place after a while.

          I fucking love bullfrogs stuff so much. That and worldbuilders like Pharaoh, Rise of the middle kingdom, zeus, etc…

      I need to try that after I make my way through Planescape. I started BG1, but it just didn’t jibe with me all that much, which apparently is true for a lot of people. I probably should’ve just jumped to BG2.

        I ended up going back to the first one after I finished the second one. It has its charm, and a pretty good story. level cap and the difficulty is what makes it a bit hard.

        That’s my go-to “storyline” game. I have so many great (and terrible—thanks, Lich) memories of that game.

        I picked it up on a whim, not knowing a single thing about it. Next thing you know, I’m collecting every Black Isle/BG game and spinoff.

    I’m playing Bloodborne for the first time (emulator). Before that I was playing Far Cry 1 for the first time as well. Far cry was much harder, so far at least.

      Far Cry 1 is the best one! It was made by crytek, the same studio that did Crysis. I still occasionally go back to replay that game. It’s really fun.

        My favorite aspect was the B-movie feel to the whole thing. I was dying when my character got punted right in the face out of a flying helicopter. I wish I could find more games with some humor like that.

      What emulator are you using? Only one I’ve seen was PCSX4 and according to a lot of stuff I saw online, it’s a pretty outright scam

    Elden Ring and Poe2 are like the only recent games on PC I’ve cared about
