    I don’t have a problem, I can stop gaming any time I want!

    This row of games is 92% of my playtime, there were a bunch of other games from my collection but I only played them briefly here and there.

    100% Deck, it’s currently my only PC.

      man i need to learn how to play BG3 with the controller. I tried it on the deck and the controls melted my brain cause i was too used to mouse and keyboard

        I have a M & K available, and play docked a fair percentage of the time, but when I’m docked, I still prefer the console controls over M & K for BG3.

        Much more streamlined, the intractable UI is not as busy, and the whole game is much cleaner-looking (95% of what you’re looking at is the game world when you have no UI elements calledup… whereas the M&K UI are taking up a chunk of screen real estate all the time).

      My favorite was all my playtime for 3 months, going thru the initial campaign, then fell off a cliff

    I don’t play that much on the deck but had a couple of days off work because of sick kid so it was a life saver.

    I only just installed GTA5 Enhanced Edition this month and it already took over as the most played game of the year 🤨

    Didn’t Shadow of the Erdtree come out in the spring? My play time in ER is only slightly under GTA5EE and it was all I played through spring and summer.

        It takes a bit to figure out a good keybind setup and you have to use the trackpad for a lot of stuff, but it’s not too bad overall. It wasn’t inconvenient enough for me to grab my bluetooth keyboard at any point at least.

    How was E33 on the Deck? I didn’t play much of it there, I was afraid parries and dodges would be a bit of a nightmare to time perfectly.

      It’s a lot better after the update a few days ago, but back when I played it I actually installed a performance mod to make it run a lot smoother. I thought it was very playable, but I’m also trash at dodging/parrying consistently. I’m assuming it was more of a skill issue than the game’s performance though.

          There are some video on youtube, it’s still kinda blurry but the game is still pretty beautiful imo. Definitely won’t look as good as it does on desktop.

    How can they do a 2025 review when its still 2025? These reviews are getting earlier and earlier. Its becoming like the 2k games where you are buying 2k26 in the middle of 2025.

    I’m one bad life event away from buying arma reforger. Please God be good to me next year. I cannot handle an arma addiction right now.

      The review period runs from January 1 - December 14; I think that’s a pretty solid snapshot of a year.

      The thing that gets me is they don’t count any offline time, so my hours of playing sitting in my vehicle don’t get logged.

      Buddy, NHL '94 on SNES came out in 1993, and NHLPA '93 came out a year earlier in 1992. Every year, cars come out with the next year’s model.

      I think 2 weeks before the end of the year is pretty reasonable for a year’s review. That’s how everybody’s been doing reviews for a long time.

        Because i already have squad and the games are 1hr which is manageable. I cannot manage 7hr arms games
