Hi.
I'm just a German plushie-loving freak who is awkwardly excited over woodwinds and tech stuff. Also likes chess... but only against my dear Stockfish.
Have a lovely day. :P

Does Valheim have nerd dragons? :D
Ngl would suddenly be interested.

Half-Life (1) was the game that got me into FPS in general and kept me away from the horrors that is CoD or so.
Half-Life 2 probably has the best campaign though. Especially considering all achievements for example.
Worst is difficult – I like them all for what they are, but the one I like least is Half-Life 2 Episode 1.

NDS is definitely first, but Steam Deck is close. These days I'm probably more on my Steam Deck tho.

Has great instagib servers with fast hooks! Absolutely love it. :D
Didn't think I'd see a post about it without searching for one...

First game has been mentioned already, but I wanna make sure it's clear how singular the game is.
Blasphemous. In case you didn't check it out: You should. It got multiple major updates (new areas, bosses etc.) that were completely free and sometimes you can grab it on sale for as low as 6€. It even has NG+ only content for replayability that's actually worth it (trust me, it really is). The movement in this game is beautifully smooth and the pixel art is consistent. More importantly the combat is actually excellent unlike many other metroidvanias (as well as souls-likes) that unfortunately fail here imho. The platforming is unique, but relatively easy to learn (but you need to try), although the game has specific areas where it becomes more or less important. Blasphemous 2 also exists, however I haven't played it yet. It isn't as hard as Dark Souls titles or so, but it's a souls-like that won't go easy on you at some points. OST by Carlos Viola is also nice for people who like themselves some flamenco style.
If jRPGs count: Chained Echoes. I will never shut up about this game, since it has gotten a lot of attention, however not NEARLY enough... no one seems to really care about it anymore, but it's one of the best games I have ever played and I feel sad how it has been overshadowed by games with better marketing/higher budgets that weren't comparable in terms of gameplay or charme at all! It has everything: Awesome gameplay with many QoL features to adapt to the game or adapt the game to you, cute and profound character designs/artwork, a storyline and an AWESOME OST! Honestly, the music is beautiful in this game... the game has been made by one guy only, however you won't notice that (except with occasional silly bugs). The music has been made by someone else though (Eddie Marianukroh) and with the help of some awesome musicians (like Gregory Orosz aka. Gamer of the Winds). I wholeheartedly recommend giving it a try!

"It's quite the journey"

Yea, I have seen the article yesterday. Absolutely nuts! :D
Also just wanted to look for the patch, ty.

This worked (for anyone curious)! Thanks! :P

Thank you for your suggestion! :D But please be careful with buying games on Steam through VPNs, because that can actually get your Steam account permabanned. I don't know if you can avoid that with creating a new account though, just be careful with main accounts.

Disc versions will not run. Old CD's won't work due to DRM stuffs from Microsoft (all of my old games on CD's like Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets PC won't run on Windows). The only solution would be a no-cd version, but I'd like to avoid random downloads from unknown sources.
Thank you though! :)

Buying Max Payne (Germany)?
Hey,
so I know that question has been asked a few times online already, however none of the answers really helped in my case or were missing specific questions where an answer would really help me. For anyone of you living in Germany (or apparently (west-)Australia too) and trying to buy Max Payne (1) today, you might know how hard it is to literally just buy the game. I already played the game a LONG time ago, however I'd like to play it again, which is why I went to Steam and... it is region-blocked. Can't even buy it. On Rockstar's website it just gives me a 404. Mobile version on Google Play Store can't be bought anymore as well, since it just says: "It's for an older version of android". Nothing on GOG too.
So obvious solution would be a key for Steam, right? Well... that's my question. Which one? Most of the time it just says: "Warning: This key can not be activated in Germany". On Kinguin for example, but there's also a Max Payne 1 & 2 combo where it says it can be

Voices of the Void. Even though it does talk about the basics of the game, it really didn't make the important aspects of these basics that aren't known from other games clear at all.
It's a demo, however, so that's excusable, even if the tutorial was actually reworked too... I dunno why you need to launch it in order to get into the game though. :D

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (PC version). Be aware that PC version is a completely different game from the console versions.

Definitely give Godot a chance. GDScript is simple enough (and well documented), but you can also switch to C# afterwards.
If you like RPGs, RPGMaker is actually nice to work with and has enough capabilities to let your creativity flow.

That was the first thing I saw as well, lol. Actually reads more like a warning than an innocent: "Try me out :)"

Just uBlock.

I have Windows 11 on my notebook and Windows 10 on my gaming PC.
Please, for the love of god (or your precious sanity), use Windows 10. :D

Chess/Lichess. Just a suggestion: There's some apps and sites that have premium features, but: Lichess has all the features for free, no ads, is open-source and great UI. :)

It's not just Apple. Almost all manufacturers offer water resistant flagship phones (and mid-rangers). ASUS, Xiaomi, Oppo, Huawei, Sony, Samsung, Vivo, Honor...
However, the phones are NOT water-proof. From none of these (neither Apple). They are water-resistant, which is a big difference and they are just required to not be damaged if submerged underwater for 30 minutes, 1.5m, if they want IP68.
Phones and smartwatches are not resistant to condensation or water getting in – water can still get in, as they're NOT impervious (smartwatches if they have speakers), which is actually required for calling your device truly "water proof". Water resistant is literally two steps below that.
There has been some marketing claiming water proof devices. This was just wrong.
