Finally rolled the credits on Sandfall Interactive's CLAIR OBSCUR: EXPEDITION 33. The sad thing is, it'll probably take a long time before another game can make me feel all the emotions I felt while playing this one.

Refused to watch The White Lotus S3 trailer to avoid spoilers, but knowing that the series has been notorious for giving hints in its opening credits, I can safely assume that everyone in this season is going to be involved in a massive orgy. 😅

Two sibling cats always running up to me when I leave the apartment. Am I now legally required to give them treats every single time? 😲

Don't know what got into me but I was craving for Korean food this morning and knew it's gotta be a tteokbokki night.

Just found out that I can’t play Indiana Jones and the Great Circle because it needs a GPU that supports — what’s it called, tray-placing or gray-hazing or something.

Guess I’ll find something else to play. 🥲

Great website!

For Firefox and Chrome, I use an extension called Augmented Steam which automatically compares prices across legit stores. Tells you the game's current best price and all-time lowest price. Pretty useful. :)

Decided to play the Silent Hill 2 OST while working, and now I feel like grabbing a crowbar and running around a foggy town while battling my inner demons.

Or perhaps just sleep on a cold, rusty floor.

Not really joining the whole DLC → GOTY debate, but it makes me sad that Silent Hill 2 didn’t get nominated. Only got 4 out of 6 predictions right (bye-bye, Dragon’s Dogma II).

Anyway, I can’t wait to see Metaphor win this thing! 🏆

Whoa, Half-Life 2 is free on Steam right now! Released in 2004, this gem still stands strong against many modern first-person shooters. If you haven't yet, now's the perfect time to experience this game.
