I have too many Half-life games and mods installed and refuse to remove them to make room for other, larger, games.
Now I will have to try the bucket%.

Some games give you a story that sticks with you and you love them for that (Half-Life, To The Moon, Bioshock Infinite). Some give you an experience that sticks with you but no story to speak of (like Doom and Doom II, which I still play).
What I dislike is having to deal with people in my games. I already do that in reality, thank you very much.
To me games are about escaping reality.
Skyrim SE, yet again. At this point it feels like a second job.
Portal / Portal 2
“Science Is Fun” is a great track, as are the end songs “Still Alive” and “I Want You Gone”.
I played it for like an hour or so, but it didn’t click either. I’ll give it another go one day, but there are just too many games in my backlog right now
You’re an inspiration to us all. Well done, sir!
I on the other hand may have crossed the threshold where I have more games than time to live. I’d better get a move on.
It started with me manually downloading a mod and shoving the files into the Steam game directly.
Then I installed the windows version of Nexus Mods Manager using Wine and pointed it to the Skyrim in Linux Steam that runs as a Flatpak.
Yes, it is a dumb hack. But it works.
It’s not the cost. I’ve not pirated anything since Steam and GOG came along. It’s just that games nowadays want you to be online all the time, force you to open accounts you don’t want, try to sell you in game items (that’s a brilliant idea to get money from certain types of people, a bit like religion, do congratulations to whoever came up with that).
I want games to be single player playable, offline, start to finish. I’ll buy expansion packs if the game is worth it. It’s it too much to ask?
Some games you sometimes load just to hang around. This is one of those. Lovely game.
I’d add Valley and Sable to this group.
Thank you, I’ll check it out.
Still playing Skyrim. Can’t seem to put it down.
I’ve modded it a bit and started over. I’m picking up more hidden details that I missed the first time, and I’m abusing some game mechanics to be all powerful. Muhahah!
I’m on level 50-ish in Skyrim, and I either have done all the quests I could find or can’t do some quests because of some bug.
Then I can either pile mods on it to make it more interesting (and lose achievements in the process) or start again with a new character.
Either way, it’s still a nice place to burn some hours.
Same here. I have a few games from the Fallout series, but it just doesn’t click for me. I keep going back to Skyrim. It is just fun to ride around the landscape, sometimes doing nothing, with a huge ass battleaxe on my back.
We do what we must because we can.
Try the Brutal Doom mod if you haven’t already for an added dose of violence and gore. Combine it with mods like Eviternity for huge new maps and enemies. Enjoy!
My first machine was a ZX Spectrum.
I love the 8 bit games I grew up with but I’m not stuck in that timeframe. I appreciate that I can still play all my old games and the new ones.
I just wish I had more time to enjoy them.
Excluding the 8 bit games, the games where I spent more time are: Doom, Half-life, Portal, Bioshock Infinite, Skyrim.
If I had to choose one, it would be Doom. Such a simple game, so much brainless fun, so many great mods.
Is it even winnable? I always get killed before clearing all the islands. Still love it, though.
You’re right, that’s probably why I love it. I’m a big fan of puzzle games (Portal, Talos Principle, Qube).
I hate strategy games but I love Into The Breach. It’s a perfectly executed game packed into a single screen.
I genuinely laughed out loud. Thanks for that.
