@dmcc0 Thank you! If I do get Game Pass again, I’ll give some new games a go.

@Pastellioli as you may know, Game Pass is regularly changing what games it offers - New Games (not always 'new' releases) are added and some games are removed so can always find something new to 'try'. Even if its not something I would 'normally' buy/play, it does offer something different to my 'Backlog'.

If you are old enough to remember Magazines with 'trials/demo's', some games you'd never have considered buying, but after trying the demo on disc, you want to play. Game Pass lets you 'demo' any game and 'if' you enjoy it, you can keep playing until you have finished - no 'obligation' to buy, but you'll also get a 'bigger' discount if you choose to buy by having Game Pass.

I don't get 'bored' of gaming or find myself not wanting to play because of the 'choice' of games I have in my backlog for example because I can usually find something that I want to play or even just 'try'. Also know that games like Hellblade, Avowed, Fable etc will also be on GP day 1 so it makes 'financial' sense to me to keep my Subscription.

Everyone is different of course and it suits me...

It is much more comfortable for me to buy games separately, yes it is more expensive, but I am calm that they are with me forever. I love having a collection of games.

That’s right! Physical gaming all the way!

Hey everyone. Rather boring day today as I spent too much time thinking what to play and not playing anything. I’ve been on a mission to marathon as many of my switch games as I could. Excuse the poor lighting but the two games on top are games I already beat this past week and four games on bottom are games I’m trying to beat some time within the next two weeks. I’m probably gonna be really burned out by the end. I’ve at least made some shawarma today. Used leftover tortilla wraps with kewpie mayo and garlic mayo. Tomorrow I’d like to shop for some Mac n cheese ingredients.

@Yousef Luigi's Mansion 3 seems to the most intresting game in your collocation to me. Would be cool to know what you think about it later man.

I remember that I reailly enjoyed the original on gamecube some years back when I was younger. Feels like of those underrated games out there so your opinion on the new one would be cool.

@oliverp oh yeah haha thanks. I have 14 others off pic, but this is the wave I set for me for now and I’ll probably be posting new pickups any time i have any. I may show off my whole collection at some point.

Today is an awesome day. I have placed an order on two rare switch games (pardon the terrible edit) that’ve been briefly restocked in Kuwait out of nowhere so I jumped on the boat before it would sail again. I cannot wait.

@Yousef- Ah, Hyrule Warriors! Me and my family had it on the WiiU and played the heck out of it back then. We never got the Switch port.

@Pastellioli indeed friend. been hyped to get this ever since I saw it in the WiiU days. With PlayStation being the more dominant system in kuwait it was quite tricky back then, now it’s easy though.

@Yousef- That’s good to hear it’s easier to get now! I hope you have fun with it when it arrives. I do like Nintendo-themed hack and slash games and have played a couple, like Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, which I’d say is one of the best hack and slash games I’ve played.

@Pastellioli Three Hopes looks like a lot of hype. As a gigantic musou nut I look forward to picking it up some time in the future. It’s not low on stock so I’m in no hurry right now, so maybe something around next month or so.

@Yousef- I only played one route in the game, but I enjoyed it a lot, even more than the first Fire Emblem Warriors game they released years ago. My sister is a huge fan of Three Houses, so I think she did all three routes in Three Hopes. I think you’ll enjoy it a lot! You don’t have to play Three Houses to understand the story though, since Three Hopes takes place in an alternate timeline instead of following the same story as Three Houses.

@Pastellioli that’s pretty convenient. I’ll keep an eye on it making sure it remains in stock. Also I sent you an FR on Xbox.

@Yousef- Just saw it! Thank you

Super Mario Sunshine is my favourite Mario 3D platformer. I have Luigi's Mansion 3, but I haven't played it yet. I liked the original on GC. The second game is not that spooky nor that charming. I have the Wii U version of Super Mario 3D World. The only Nintendo port I bought for Switch was Mario Kart 8, that is somehow my least favourite Mario Kart game in terms of gameplay. I beat Breath of the Wild on Wii U and Tears of the Kingdom on Switch, but the two are amongst my least favourite Zelda games. I am a digital player, but I bought my Switch games physically as they were cheaper that way and I'm also able to sell them. In between, my favourite Nintendo consoles are SNES, N64 and GC and I play more on 3DS than on Switch.

@Pastellioli As 3D platformers, I think that you might like The Smurfs: Mission Vileaf, The Smurfs 2: The Prisoner of the Green Stone, New Super Lucky's Tale and Kao the Kangaroo. I have not beaten the latter yet, though.

Game pick-ups arrived. Here’s the recent game pick-ups I mentioned ordering earlier this weekend. Mostly a bunch of rare stuff that were recently restocked in Kuwait so I grabbed them while they were still there. Sorry if the image quality is poor. I sadly winded up not catching much sleep due to staying late waiting for phone calls on the updates of my order.

After a decently long break, I’ve gone back to sitting down and binging many of WWW’s fantastic recaps. They’re a fantastic listening piece when on the road. This one looks like it’ll be a classic.
