    Skate 2 + 3 on PC, same with Bloodborne. I wouldn't even need to play other games anymore at that point.

    SF6 is sick, I'm also coming from anime fighters like Strive, BBCF and Type Lumina so I was afraid of the links at first but after getting into it I'm mad addicted.

    I haven't booted up any other fighting game since it launched even though I'm definitely not dropping BBCF and and Melty. The game is just so good that I just automatically launch SF6 when I'm in the mood to mash some buttons, might be my main fighter for the foreseeable future.

    Pillars of Eternity is a dope CRPG, I hope you enjoy it all the way through. If you really like it you should check out Tyranny, along with the PoE sequel ofc.

    Damn, it's crazy you got a Malazan recommendation from your teacher! I don't think any of my teacher's ever encouraged us to read fantasy in general, let alone Malazan. Respect to her.

    I'm on book 3 of the Malazan Book of the Fallen series, I've already read the main series and (most of) everything else that's connected to the universe so this is my first re-read.

    I always heard how good these books are on a re-read and I can definitely see why. There's some pretty crazy foreshadowing to events happening mulitple books later and reading these early books when you're new to the world and quite lost, compared to having a good understanding of it is quite a different experience.

    I'm primarily a metal guy but recently I've been on a huge nostalgic drum and bass kick, really rejuvenated my love for this genre. Here's some highlights:

    Maduk - Colours (Feint Remix)

    Maduk - Company

    Rameses B - Open Your Eyes (L Plus Remix)

    Justin Hawkes - Heliocycle

    Venjent - Miss You (bootleg)

    And a couple old favorites I've discovered again:

    Netsky - No Strings Attached

    Birdy - Wings (Nu:Logic Remix)

    These aren't deep cuts or anything, and pretty entry level stuff but I love it. Big thanks to Venjent's meme-y videos for getting me back into the genre lmao.

    I hope SF6 has been treating you well, that game is sick. Really good entryway into the genre if anyone has been thinking that they want to give fighting games a try.

    That album is amazing! Not that fighting games don't look good today but I lowkey miss the 2D sprite artstyles, some 20 year old games look better than games released today if they don't have top tier 3D artstyle and graphics. (Sorry KOFXV...)

    One of the main reasons people aren't willing to give him the benefit of the doubt is that he's already admitted to cheating online himself some years ago. He was just a kid then IIRC since he is still so young, but even if he never even thought about cheating after that, the track record is already tarnished.

    Here's to hoping that the tildes fighting game community launches off at some point! That's one of the few thing's I've been missing too.

    One of the all time greats for sure. I wish I could get as into Bannerlord but it just isn't the same, I always end up going back to Warband despite it's age.

    I read the first one and maybe 20% of the 2nd and it felt lukewarm the whole time, and after hearing about the slog and how the beginning is supposed to be one of the good parts, I just dropped it. Brandon Sanderson isn't one of my favorites either so there was absolutely nothing I was looking forward to despite how much good stuff I have heard of the series. Just not my thing.

    This is like 90% of Arenanet's issues right here lol. For every good thing they implement, there will also be some soon-to-be obsolete feature or currency, seemingly implemented just because and soon forgotten.

    I hope their new release cycle works out. I am also tentatively excited especially, especially for the new weapon combinations. Pistol/pistol Guardian is gonna look badass.

    KonoSuba is among the funniest anime I've seen but it's also one I wouldn't recommend to someone whos not pretty deep into weeb degeneracy already.
