i use two. firefox for most browsing, i really like the container setup and auto syncing between computers. i also use the new chromium edge for media watching and casting to my tv because its basically chrome without the google stuff and runs while taking up less resources.
You guys are crazy, 11 hours is good for a game? As a poor person, I want my games to last at least 100 hours!

depends on the game for me. carrion i finished with 1000 achievement points in 6ish hours and i felt that was the perfect amount time for what it had to offer. for a telltale/adventure style story game i'd prefer only a few hours so it didn't feel like stretching it just to stretch it. but on the other hand, if i played a final fantasy that was 6 hours to finish 100% i'd be annoyed at it.
and then there's mmos & service games i get into which are basically endless depending how you want to play. if i were to look at my /played for wow or ffxiv it'd be frightening
edit: i checked
wow is probably nearing a year across all characters but that's spread out over 13ish years or however long.

Unless the game is exceptional, my interest wanes after 15 hours. I feel 12-15 hours is the perfect length for a game. I like to feel my time is valued, rather than ascribing value to the number of hours the game provides.
That said, my all-time favourite games are titles that last a lot longer than 12-15 hours. Persona 4 Golden, NeiR:Automata, Deus Ex, Shenmue, and so on.

I might start using Edge :thinking:
Also, Squadrons is great y'all.

Lol like 5 minutes ago I just read someone say It was what was entirely wrong with PC gaming and they hated it
Homie I don't want needless bloat in my RPGs and video games.You guys are crazy, 11 hours is good for a game? As a poor person, I want my games to last at least 100 hours!

I've spent 250+ hours on XCOM 2. Probably spent over 500 on Trials Evolution back on the 360. Some games are infinitely replayable, some are a one and done and for those about 10-15 hours is all i care to put into them. I like a complete game that i can finish and move on.
Neither do I! A good lengthy RPG can be long and meaty without needless bloat.
I hear it here all the time with the anime stuff, I'm used to it

I like my games very long. if I like the gameplay why would I want it to end after 15 hours for example? I would be searching for a new great game in quick succession.
Currently playing a modded Factorio (Pyanodon) And with 150 hours, I am still in early game, transitioning to middle game. The production lines are super complex and need heavy planning to make a functioning base. I like that shit.
I am 700+ hours on XCOM 2, and probably 1 million hours on Oblivion since 2008. LMAO
It actually depends for me. I have no problems playing long games as I long as I can remember what to do after taking a break from them, that's probably why I do not like JRPGs anymore. I play a lot of sim games, for them to last 10 hours or for me to only endure them for that span, that's a failure on the game's part.
New Edge is great but there's very little addon support if you care about that. It does have ublock though.
Warlander - Last message from the Forest - Steam News
Warlander will no longer be available for sale
CohhCarnage just announced that he has signed with Twitch. Making Ad-rolls mandatory, which he was opposed to in the past.
Don't know what to think about this.

I tried out edge and my piHole blocking rate increased very quickly.
No idea what it is sending, but it is phoning home a lot.
I didnt even know that was out for sale yet Lol jesusWarlander - Last message from the Forest - Steam News

It looks fine for a starwars game, but I don't like star wars. Even ignoring that I don't like dog fighting flying games so if I take those into account it's kind of like well it's clearly not for me but I can't see anything wrong with it besides that it's starwars
Risen feels like a simplfied and less janky Gothic. I'm quite enjoying it.
Risen 2 is good as well!
I have 55+ hours in Risen, and 56+ hours in Risen 2! They're pretty great (I haven't played the gothic series yet, they're on my list to get around to)
Risen 3 is uh... I've tried starting that like five times and I just have no fucking idea what they did all I can say is it's pretty fucking awful but the general "idea" of what Risen was is there along with the characters
As a massive fan of the original Gollop game I started rather lukewarm toward it, but XCOM 2 plus War of The Chosen turned out to be possibly my favorite and most replayed single player game of the last ten years or so.
For me it's all about variety. Sometimes I just want a short experience that I can beat in a weekend, sometimes I want to spend time on a massive thing.You guys are crazy, 11 hours is good for a game? As a poor person, I want my games to last at least 100 hours!

Playing 100 hour games back to back is exhausting.

I have it on my backlog! I may attempt playing it sometime this year if not next year.
I have found that long ass games quality drops. Hence why I never finished witcher 3. Ignoring the boring combat, most of the quests were so stupid and pointless. I never made it to the third map.
This tweet has been extremely useful the last few days....

It would seem that Valve gave NG of Gmod 2TB of data from Source 2

I mean there is a reason why they (CD project red) are saying the MQ for CP2077 is shorter.
There is a reason. I honestly felt if they took out 50% of the side shit and tweak the experience in TW3 I would have had a better time. I gave it a good 60+ hours and I only remember two notable quests. Lot of the side shit was follow batman vision lol.

Some times too much of a good thing is a bad thing, I can sort of understand (even if its wrong)
Side content is optional so taking it out would have only hurt the experience for those who did enjoy it. The great thing about these games is that you have a lot of freedom to tailor the experience to your liking, including skipping side content that you are not interested in.
Except need dat exp for level ups. I am also talking about parts of the MQ being kind of anticlimatic and very drawn out. I don't need batman vision even with the view change disabled. The last side quest I did was literally a MMO fetch quest using batman vision. Should have done it when it was yellow as green gave really shitty exp lol.
Tried out Squadrons in VR.
Unplayable, I cannot fix the stuttering there.

Lets take a look at some weird games this time in "Discoveries in Discovery Queue"!

An escape room experience for 1 or multiple players. Right now ithas only 1 room, but seems to want to expand on it.
Underwater classic RTS (from the 2000s!) finally coming to Steam. Enjoy fighting in a marine environment with super weird high tech!

Using Witcher 3 as an example for a long game with bad quests. Ooof, that's certainly a take.
Well, on the bright side, at least you don't need to spend any money on Cyberpunk 2077.
I need to play this game... one day. Hopefully, next year.

Update on Character Creation in BG3. Looks extremely good. Seems like indie devs can do face scan better than many AAA studios.

Baldur's Gate 3 - Community Update #8 - Character Creation - Steam News
What defines you? Is it who you are, or the journey you’re on? In Baldur’s Gate 3, it’s both. Creating a character in Baldur’s Gate 3 isn’t the moment the world decides how to treat you, but it’s the very beginning of the shaping of your story. BG3 is a world with great player agency, and the...
Phasmophobia seems to be doing numbers on both Steam and Twitch. Every clip I've seen has been hilarious.
May try it due to CD mentioning officially that they are making it shorter. Then TW3. Due to complaints.
They said cp2077 is shorter because most people didn't finish the game and not because of complaints.
People not finishing their games is unfortunately normal though.

Just played a little bit of Squadrons, the tutorial and a bit of the first mission before quitting to figure some settings out. Loads of technical annoyances and quirks on this thing but holy fuck in VR it's simply awesome to be in a TIE fighter cockpit, the scale of everything is spot on, it feels scary to weave around a fleet or structures or whatever and that ship feels appropriately nimble and fragile. I don't think any other game got this so right before and I've played others in VR. I don't imagine the rest of the game design and what not will be on par but they have a solid core here that ideally they will expand on in the future.
I wanted to play with just instruments, no HUD (which still has hud elements like a rectangle around your target and crosshair mind) but in the TIE fighter at least it seems impossible. Without arrows to tell you the direction the target you try to follow disappeared toward you have to avert your eyes to the in-cockpit radar because the TIE fighter only has a small forward window so you can't just follow the target with your eyes as you dogfight, perhaps it's more doable as a rebel.
