21 and 24

You can use silicone sous vide bags. Which are re-useable, so no plastic waste at all.

Air fryer and sous vide has made it easy for me to do quick cooking when I don’t have time.

They literally just built like 9 coal plants last year…

Being an immigrant is an excuse, I’m from a family of immigrants, and a minority. You have the Internet, it’s filled with free tools for learning. You like PC games,? Learn to program and make your own, or go into IT. There is so much you can do to better your life, but no one is going to hand it to you. You have to do for yourself if you wish to improve.

You sound really young, so let me give you some advice. You’re life, is what you make of it. Hate your job? Start learning to find a better one you actually like. Don’t like the bmw, sell it and get a car you like. Don’t like where you live focus on figuring out where you would like to live and work towards that. You could also use some therapy to help overcome your depression you have.

I thought you called him a platypus…need to check usernames more often.

Solid advice though.

It’s amazing with friends… especially when one of them decides to be the cook, and burns down the base because they forgot to turn off the stove while we’re all out scavenging for supplies…

Surroundead for single player zombie survival

Project zonboid for multiplayer zombie survival

Kingdom come deliverance for visuals and epic story

Hell let loose for FPS shooter

Deadlock for moba/fps

Risk of rain 2 for multiplayer roguelite

The raft for multiplayer survival on water

The forest for multiplayer survival on land

SCUM for pvp survival

That’s all I can think of for now…the fun part of PC is gaming with friends without having to pay a shitty subscription fee.

Two copies on the wife and my switch, and a copy on my phone…and one on steam lol worht kt

Most recalled because it’s the most used… statistics are hard huh?

Vampire masquerade bloodlines…yes I know they’re working on one, but they’ve been working on it for years now and it’s been bouncing around to different devs, which just seem to either try and make it something else or deviate from the original completely.

NMS was what I hoped would be the freelancer part 2 but it’s just an exploring game. While fun on its own, completely lacks any real danger and that just kills it for me.

When I say less, I mean as in assets and things to do. Side quests alone in a lot of games these days are damn near as many hours as the main story is.

Games had a lot less in them as well though, but even then games still took time. OoT, one of the biggest RPGs, released in 98, two 1/2 years of dev time. Games still required time, maybe less, but they also had less in them.

34 mil is nothing when you start looking at the cost of some of these other games, even Skyrim was over 100 million. Like GTA5, with marketing, was like 250 million. Just insanely expensive, and I guarantee you the devs are not pulling in a mil or two a year.

10mil for Hellblade

36mil for KC:D one of the prettiest games of the time…which includes marketing.

The cost of some of these “AAAA” titles is a complete joke.

Another one, before THQ took over, metro 2033, 10-20 million estimate, and while it’s aged a bit, when it first was released it had a good bit of eye candy for a horror game.

Another one would be the first stalker, it’s not what we would consider it today, visual candy, but it’s also over a decade old now, but it was a pretty game when it came out. Cost 5mil to make

Another one:

Crysis 22mil, and if you remember it was one of the benchmarks for the longest times…can it run crysis.

It’s bullshit accounting, they’re not spending it on the devs or the games, they’re spending it on advertising and the c levels Paydays. There are a ton of really good looking games, that had what would be considered shoestring budgets, but these companies bitching about it aren’t actually in it for the games anymore, its just for the money.

Stalker 2 is not buggy as hell. I’ve been playing it since launch. It’s got euro jank for sure but nothing that has stopped the mass majority of us from enjoying it.

Helldivers 2 has some stuff you can buy but doesn’t require it at all. I’ve only bought the game and not spent another dime on it and have been having a blast with friends.

V rising is top down coop rpg. It’s a ton of fun as well.

Stalker2? Helldivers? V rising?

Some good stuff has come out this year
