Pokémon Scarlet - really good game minus the obvious performance issues.

I've finished the main game / most of the post game, just need to work on the Pokedex now which will take some time.

Playing through A plagues tale requiem with some halo infinite MP on the side. 

I don't know what I'll jump into next, have to check my backlog. 

That game's poster reminds me of Grave of Fireflies by Studio Ghibli. Man, I don't want to watch that film ever again.

Portal RTX

...soooo pretty.

Edit: and I'm done.  Forgot how short the game is.

Now playing Quake Dimension of the Past. 

 

FYI:  Amazon Prime gaming has Quake w/ “The Scourge of Armagon," “Dissolution of Eternity,” “Dimension of the Past,” and “Dimension of the Machine" for free.

Very nearly platinumed Death Stranding Directors Cut on PS5 it's been a most expected awesome journey considering I thought I'd be bored shitless when I started it months ago!

Finally got Platinum with 250hrs playtime and the only game played over the last 3.5 months! It will be missed.

Trying Return to Monkey Island now, apparently it's really good.

It is - there was only one thing that upset me but I won’t spoil it.

 

I have been bored and wanted to play something new

 

i totally missed the outer worlds - when people said it was amazing I always though it was the outer wilds game they talk about which I did not like

outer wilds is like borderlands 1 and even better (I got sick of crazy amounts of loot in later versions)

 

And the cheesy alien world RPG got me hooked - playing though the expansions now - though some talk is too “politically correct” it is almost laughable- I enjoy a good laugh

Mass Effect Legendary 

 

wow I am having totally different experience then when I tried ME2 and then Me1 afterwards 

me2 was good before and me1 was not

 

now everything is amazing - I enjoyed me1 like I could not before and playing me2 now 

 

It is real nice to have such improved games and playing them in a row with the same character

 

 

as I love sci fi - this is a treat I did not expect to be honest

Just finished Stray last night. Unbelievable game, albeit short.

I didn't expect it to be as gritty, yet beautiful as it is. Soundtrack is on point, and a few callbacks to HL2 as well that I certainly appreciated.

People who whine about Stray because it is a “walking simulator” and not dead souls like game just don’t get it

 

i loved stay for the atmosphere- story and gameplay were good enough to for me to keep exploring the world that fascinated me. 
 

I really enjoyed stray a lot. I am not sure it is a game to write more lore about - but for a few hours of pure wondering about it was fantastic 

 

 

ps. Almost done ME2 legendary and it is a lot of fun - now that I stared from the beginning and know the lore - everything seems more exciting- then jumping in ME2 with zero knowledge like I did last time or trying to catch up on me1 when it was super dated in graphics and controls already.

 

Last time I quit me3 early on because i did not feel the game - now if all my character decisions carry on - this will make so much more sense 

 

TLDR - Mass Effect Legendary- if you like sci-fi and did not already enjoy the games - it is a good time to try it out

 

i did not like the idea of constantly remaking games but in this case the remade trilogy makes perfect sense

Totally agree. I actually need to finish the legendary trilogy. I stopped somewhere on the first game and never went back, but I was thoroughly enjoying the game. One of the last good Bioware games. I also need to finish DA: Origins for that matter. :p

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.

    • "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
