2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

I saw a video on spawnwave that talked today about what games people are enjoying in 2026 right now. And the different reactions of different social media/sites.

I personally am loving Wild Blue Skie s. Its just starfox. Thats what I want to play!

BALL x PIT is a whole lot of fun. I didn't think it would be but it keeps getting better and better.

I also liked FTL back in the day so I picked up Void War . Its like warhammer + FTL and its fantastic.

EDIT: You all are great! Keep them coming! So many games (video games and otherwise) in this list!

I'm currently quiet busy with other stuff and don't play too much. I mostly play older games, a few years old or even retro. Recently played Civilization 4, because that's one of the favorites in the series, so I wanted to see how it compares to the other games in series. I also started playing racing simulation on PC. Automobilista 2 is probably the best game for single players, as I'm not interested in playing online (yet). The twist for myself is, that I started playing with gyro controls, which gives it a whole new life to racing games. Maybe I buy a wheel soon! This sales event in Steam made my Pile of Shame even bigger; it's out of control.

And then there are the emulated retro games I'm going back to and try Mods and Romhacks out in RetroArch for various systems. Currently doing patches for 16 bit 90's console games such as Super Nintendo and Mega Drive / Genesis. Edit: Ah I forgot. A few days ago installed Quiver Launcher, that handles downloads and install of decompiled or recompiled games for PC. Playing F-Zero native on PC is something else.

Did something went wrong here or is this intentional? I find it hilarious to link the last letter only. :D No need to change, just asking, it's quiet funny. BTW Spawnwave is my favorite Gaming related news channel for many years now. :-) (Besides Mr. Sujano for Retro news.)

I totally put this up last night thought I would get 10 people commenting. Yeah so far 10x that. Crazy.

It was an oops haha. Fixed.

Another spanwave enjoy-er, nice. I would be cool if he knew about the fediverse.

Ohh another person to follow, thanks!
