Two years after finishing the main storyline in Cyberpunk 2077, I started Phantom Liberty. Turns out the PL ending I got was the "secret" ending, with the mission "Things Done Changed" and the achievement "The Tower." From what I've read it's the only ending that really ends the game; there's no catching up on side missions after that. It's a downer of an ending, but it's a real ending, both final and emotional. I don't imagine the other endings will have anywhere near that impact.

When I first started playing the main game, my main hope was that it wouldn't suck. It didn't.

A Vampyre Story, a point-n-click i have had in my steam library for over a decade that i couldn't get to display properly which i find too disorienting to play. and it was made so by unchecking a box in nvidia settings. which granted the laptop and desktop i had when i got it wasn't an option...

Watching this video for nostalgia. Played the heck out of this when it was new and it took years but I did beat it.

I beat 007: First Light yesterday, so now I'm playing the From the Ashes DLC for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.

Replaying Fallout 3. My favourite Fallout game is still the original by far, but I find Fo3 a lot easier to revisit than New Vegas these days; NV's writing has aged pretty badly IMO.

For a while I was on the "Bethesda ruined Fallout" bandwagon but honestly Fo3 does a lot more right than wrong, some of the side missions are genius.

^ Yeah, admittedly I could never get into the first two fallouts for whatever reason. I was possibly put off by their clunkiness, and not that I'm obtuse, but it felt very hard to get into if you didn't already know what you were doing. But by the time Fallout 3 came along, they offered something that was quite immersive and very much unlike anything else on the market. And by switching things up into a fully 3D environment, in doing so they made things more accessible to people like me who had trouble with the first two. I think it was incredible what they managed to accomplish. I think it's fun to be able to be a tourist by proxy via these games. They are a testament to how well modelled the environments are, to feel like you've really visited these locations . Funny story, but I ended up visiting the DC area after playing the game, and kept having this sense of deja-vu simply because I had visited these locations in-game and it gave me a strong enough feeling of having been there.

A similar thing happened but in reverse when I was playing New Vegas after having visited California and having had a tour of the Hoover Dam and seeing it so well modelled in game was kind of eerie. And speaking of eerie, Primm Valley Nevada is set to close this year, making what's in game a time capsule of sorts.
