Yeah, I agree with this.
I mean, I personally think that the quality of Bethesda's games has been going downhill since Morrowind, but at least they are still doing their own thing.

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon® Breakpoint: Developer Update
OFFLINE MODE
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint was built from the ground up to be an online experience. We heavily investigated the possibility of adding the option of an offline mode, but we were not able to come up with a solution that did not create an unacceptable amount of technical risks.

Hmmm...where have I heard this before?
All these tech fools think we're going to the moon and mars and put a rocket into space every five minutes. It's just a distraction from the real great unsolved technical problem of our times: offline video games. We need to get focused. We can beat this thing if we work together.
I did it, I bit the bullet and ordered an internet connection! Fibre with 1gb down and 600mb up!
Just need to get that ethernet dongle. Still even with wifi it I will be able to play things like Destiny 2 in multiplayer!
15€ for internet per month for the internet and I should be able to get my phone bill down to 15€ also(it's 20€ now) since it's the same company.

I believe the consensus is that V is better than VI if you're considering the full versions but VI is better than V for the vanilla versions.
Do you own either or both? Sounds like you might.
I do as well and was reading some recent comparison opinions.
The majority feel that Civ V (Complete) is still better than Civ VI (w/ current DLC).
The former goes on sale often and I noticed it can be had for $10 right now.

That's great news, and those are pretty good prices. The one thing fibre enabled for me was actually storing photos in the mighty cloud. Or rather, I plan to. But all of a sudden with those speeds, uploading upwards of 500gb is not unfeasible anymore.

I'm concerned, I can see Ubi go down that bullshit always-online path again. AC2 called. "Technical risk" is a thing I'd like to see him elaborate on.

And there it goes another chapter of Red Dead Redemption 2, Chapter 5 was a good one, Guarna was not my cup of tea as I don't like the Caribbean setup but it was a roller coaster of action and emotions. 
solo PvE play is +- absolutely the same as in Wildlands and that can be played offline without problems ... so the online-onliness of it was bullshit to begin with

Civ 5 still completely holds up. It's quite different than Civ6 though, which I still can't get into. I don't think most people feel that 5 is made obsolete by 6.

You forgot, "Wonder which of my mods updated to 1.1 release?"
It's been so funny to see that auto-download start for RimWorld Workshop every time I fire up Steam.
Not sure how or when it happened, but I somehow managed to subscribe to over 160 RW mods. And they're been steadily getting 1.1 versions all week.
Seriously. How the hell did I end up with so many mods?
I blame alcohol.
160! Whoa.
I have 3 mods - Prepare carefully, Doormats and thought bubbles.
Which would you recommend as real quality of life changes?
I'll buy this when it releases.

This really makes me want to replay Black Mesa to experience the finished product. I definitely need to get around to it some time.
I've owned this since it launched on bethesdas launcher but I kind of want it consolidated onto steam so I'd sort of want it on there to play with other people because constantly logging into the bethesda client is immensely stupid (It doesn't remember Login info) and you can't see friends lists for the game until you're inside the actual game.
Bethesda client still has nothing like that, by client it's literally just a updater with hyperlinks to stuff

I've played maybe halfway through the CIA plot.... (the KGB plot is supposed to be almost the same except for the opening)
The gameplay is XCOM, but mostly stealth. You want to do everything to avoid combat, since it is really hard to survive.
The story is nothing to write home about, where there's some overarching plot going around but the standard missions really fail to tie into it in a meaningful way.
You often get to decide whether to play a mission or just "foil" the bad guys' plans off screen (and get worse rewards).
After playing a few hours you definitively skip a lot of missions since they all feel very same-y...
And the "connect leads together using strings" is really meaningless, since it doesn't reveal anything regarding what it says it shall reveal, and the rewards for finishing a board is completely unrelated to the issue of the board.
Creating new aliases for your agents is a neat feature, except you do not need to change their appearance at all. Changing their appearance is totally voluntary, so you pretty much just pay to get a new ID with a new name and perhaps a picture (if you want to lose your grip on which agent is which).
But the upsides... The setting is fantastic and the soundtrack is perfect for a spy thriller.
The game is fun for a few hours, but it outstays its welcome a bit!
"3 items from your Steam wishlist are on sale"
Oh a bunch of Atelier games, nice!
Ryza still too expensive

Here's some of my faves.
Steam Workshop::Facial Stuff 1.1
- Facial Stuff is sold on facial animations, but the real star of the show is the Rayman-like hands & feet they add to pawns, giving them walking animations. It's a game-changer. Be sure to go to Options > Mod Settings > Facial Stuff to adjust stuff (click the Animate Animals box, etc.)
Steam Workshop::Camera+
- Camera + lets you zoom WAAAAY in/out. Great for presentation flair.
Steam Workshop::Stack XXL
- Stack XXL lets you adjust the size of stacks so you can have smaller storage areas. Again don't forget to tweak in Options > Mod Settings, etc.
Steam Workshop::RimHUD
- RimHUD gives you way more info at a glance on one screen (i.e. when you click a pawn). No more click pawn, click mood/skills/etc.
Steam Workshop::Harmony
- Need Harmony to run Camera+, etc. Put it at the top of your list or just hit Auto-sort Mods button.
Steam Workshop::RPG Style Inventory
- RPG Inventory - fun way to display your pawn's gear.
Steam Workshop::Industrial Rollers - Conveyor belts & Automation
- Industrial Rollers: automate resource movement around map
Now that you say it, yea Legend of Legaia was a better version of what Indivisible was trying to do I think. I got it towards the end of my PS1 days so never finished it but it was fun for a while.
Of course Ryza is on sale now that I bought it a few days ago"3 items from your Steam wishlist are on sale"
Oh a bunch of Atelier games, nice!
Ryza still too expensive
It's really fun though.

I said thank you to a virtual robot, out loud. And I tried to be super gentle in my tone to please him.
I’m now lying on the sofa, tired and, above all, mind completely blown. The possibilities !
But I’m not even sure I don’t regret the purchase. The first few moments were magical, but then you end up in Occulus Home and ya, it’s not really good looking and the screen door effect.., I don’t care that much about pixels but there is a darkness to the image sometimes.
Oh and space wise it’s horrible, I emptied the center of the room and it was not nearly enough. The cable is just an accident waiting to happen, accident that could be serious.
My question to the people who use VR : do you unplug the headset each tile you use it ?
In case I wasn’t clear enough yet. Mind. Blown.

Yeah, the first few moments are really cool. But there are many more moments like that, later on (it depends on the game tho). I agree with you on all the downsides: the screen door effect is very noticeable often. Apparently this is less of a problem with the Index, but I have the Rift S, which was the most sensible option when I bought it (that was in autumn, around the time when HLA was first announced). The Rift S has some other problems, too. Often the software doesn't recognize the device plugged in and goes into a loop of "please restart the Oculus software", and it's been very annoying plenty of times. Oculus is seemingly aware of this problem that several people have, but so far unable to fix it. Just look at this thread: Oculus Discussion Forums
Space-wise I also need to agree with you. I emptied out my apartment as well as I could, but its still only a few steps until I'm in the boundaries. And I have hit walls and stuff before and I surely will again. I can only hope I wont injure myself or destroy something. I played sitting down a bunch of times, with some games that even makes more sense. Moss, for example.
Oh, and I sometimes unplug it, sometimes leave it plugged, depends on how much VR I'm planning to play.
The 76 is for the % sale they'll need to get people to buy it

Something really interesting that the game designers at Valve in the video talked about is how different players are playing through a VR game compared to a flat screen game. Players are going through the areas/levels in VR games slower than in flat screen gaming.
Also, the gravity gloves pull is interactable apparently, as in, you don't press a button on your motion controller to gravity grab something, it's done via hand gesture.
I did not know that at all and if it's truly how it works it shows that there are a lot of gameplay parts in the game that won't be known or viewed by YT viewers.
