Death Stranding. As a Metal Gear fanatic, the disappointment I felt on my first attempt at playing it was immense. Only got a few hours in before writing off as just not for me. Tried again in a different frame of mind, different time in my life, and it clicked. One of my fav games of all time.
Funny you say that, I’m loving the new systems because of how much more powerful I feel. I guess it’s just more even overall now?
Hated it at launch, loving it now. Playing between my PC and Steam Deck and having a great time.
Completely agree. It’s almost become default for me to remap the bumpers to the top back on my Steam Deck.
I was in the same boat until about a month ago. Feel like I’ve figured out a brain hack for myself and I’ve been looking for someone to share this with!
Here’s what I’ve done; Kindle app on my phone, set to infinite scroll, white text on black background and the Kindle app widget on the home screen, displaying current book I’m reading.
Infinite scroll makes it feel like I’m just reading a really long article, something I’ve never had trouble with. White text on black background is easier on the eyes. The widget is 4 times the size of other app icons so drawn to it over Lemmy or Mastodon.
I’ve gone from reading nothing in about 5 years to about 200 pages a week!
I Think You Should Leave. I feel like something is wrong with me. On paper it should be right up my street and two of my closest friends (both of whom I have a near complete overlap with in comedy tastes) are massive fans but I just don’t get it? I get the jokes but I just don’t laugh. I feel like Bart in that episode of The Simpsons where he sells his soul when I watch it.
I use it on my hour long train commute every morning and evening as well as in bed when I don’t want to sit at my desk.
The size is actually a huge plus for me. It fits my enormous hands so much better than the Switch which has been really uncomfortable since I started playing ToTK last week.
Yeah I know what you mean. I think I feel the same way about replaying it. I want to keep the memory of my journey intact.
