After bingeing Grim Dawn for countless hours, I'm now doing the same with Last Epoch. Over 1k hours between the 2; just stupid, huh? If/when the ARPG bug wears off, it's on to Panzer Corps 2.

could be worse, i spent 6k hours playing counter strike xD!

Alright! That makes my 466.7 hours on Elden Ring seem frugal in terms of time spent on it.

not gonna lie, ive played other games in the last few years at maybe 100 or 200 hours, i genuinely dont know how i done 6k in cs, albeit over around 6 years but none the less, madness madness madness, well seen i had lots of free time on my hands!

Plus, these things are time sucks. You get in the flow of playing and don't realize how much time has elapsed.

I really enjoyed Elden Ring and I am waiting for the expansion to continue the adventure. But I recently discovered Sekiro and I was amazed by the beauty and quality of this game. Probably the best Souls game!

i sucked hard at elden ring, not in a sense of i couldn't, just the 39458 tries of a boss or area ruined my fun

I totally understand you. I did not have this problem with Elden Ring, but Sekiro was really too difficult for me and I was not enjoying the game!
So I modified the game to my own need, (reducing 30% damage taken, slowing 10% boss movements) . You can customize everything to suite your needs and your play style. You can do almost the same thing with Elden ring. Take a look here.

For me there is no sense in cheating, but making a game at a scale comfortable for you to play is nice!

Without googling, who can guess what this is?

I didn't know what it was, but didn't have the patience to wait for you or someone to say what it is as I got curious!
So I didn't listen to you and googled it! No worries, I will not spoil it for others :)

I never played the game, but a lot of neighborhood kids did.

Simple one here -- great one for playing at meetings when you are bored out of your mind listening to a whole load of "corporate suits" spouting total B/S and saying in 2 years time this will be the greatest company on Earth -- when they can't even say if the business will still be functioning in 3 weeks time.

Anybody remember "Hearts" -- from old W7 games for W10/W11 (available from the winaero site)

the other old standbys are there too -- spider solitaire etc -- much better than the ad driven rubbish from the Ms store.

cheers

I've come to the conclusion that I'm horrible at Elden Ring! Captain Nial continues to be a pain. I must be crazy because I'm trying the same technique over and over with the same outcome.

Love these versions still play Mahjong Titans. Odd if you have these game installed and do an in place upgrade, they get removed.

Yes, I do that, I actually have my own modified version of these games that removes hyperlinks etc that no longer work. It was more of a warning to others if they install this.
