Arctic Awakening was fun. I'd recommend it if you are looking for something like Firewatch :D

lost track of this thread again xD

Experienced the MGS 3 opening titles for the first time (through the remake but still) and I'm blown away by the sauce that Kojima-san possessed back then. What a guy.
He did the modern 007 movie opening titles before 007 xD
This opening is up there as one of my all time favorites.

Laptop➡️PC :)
Setup needs to improve, lmao.

Varun J @varunj.bsky.social · Sep 9

New additions to the physical media shelf.
Some more delisted PS3 games.

Only $32 for a 2026 game is crazy stuff. Great for gamers.

007 First Light has me hyped 💯💥

Some small noticeable visual issues here and there, but I'm sure it'll get sorted.
Insane pricing (in my region atleast) as well both on Steam and PS.
Happy to see them use an inhouse engine.

And that Collector's edition 😍

Always when you need it the most haha. But yeah, it is what it is. Shit happens.

Varun J @varunj.bsky.social · Aug 28

Repair shop quoted me atleast 400$ to replace MB but with zero guarantee how long it will last :/ doesn't seem worth it. Plus I just started saving up for a new pc so not enough savings either haha.

Laptop died out of the blue. Stuck on a BSOD loop. Displayed died a week ago, which was fine since monitor exists. But this is apparently a motherboard issue :3 4 years old so warranty is over too lol. Had extended till last year and didn't have to know a thing haha.

When your request for the MGS 3 remake gets accepted but you no longer have a way to create videos 🥲

Varun J @varunj.bsky.social · Aug 27

Laptop dies, which means no more gaming or editing (Byebye YT :3)
aannd Linkin Park is most likely coming to Lollapalooza with tickets going on sale tomorrow. Insane timing. Not enough savings. What a life.
I just want to curl up and not wake up for another 5 months 🫠

Varun J @varunj.bsky.social · Aug 25

Seems like my laptop might be dead 🫠
Time to figure out the next move.

Varun J @varunj.bsky.social · Aug 20

Been looking forward to this one!
@giantsquidstudios.com congrats on the release! :D

Varun J @varunj.bsky.social · Aug 16

This physical media hoarding situation is starting to get out of hand :3
Solaris is of the wrong region code sadly and Total Recall is a messed up unusable disc. Rest are great.

Varun J @varunj.bsky.social · Aug 16

I see. It was in Act 2 yes?

Varun J @varunj.bsky.social · Aug 16

Yup. Usually happens around day 35-40 i think.
