If I had to guess how long I've played Pirate101 on the non-Steam Version, it'd be close to 300 hours. Pirate101 has been one of those games I've played pretty much since it came out. And it is one of the best turn-based strategy games out there, in my opinion. Granted, it's pretty old. There's an exceeding amount of newer games that have better graphics, fewer bugs, and more quality voice acting. But even if you were to play Pirate101 today, if you haven't experienced it already, you'll see it's an incredibly genuine game. The amount of effort put into Pirate101 is amazing. Each character you come across has voice acting, and there isn't anyone in Pirate who isn't voiced, even for side quests! Just completing the main story takes around 100 hours, and that's not even touching the side quests in this game. The main story of Pirate is slow. But it is compelling and worth every second of your time playing it. The characters and companions in this game are all unique and have their quirks. And the worlds in the Spiral are beautiful and have special music for each of them.

Pirate101 is a game very close to my heart as one of the people who played it since 2012. If you have never played Pirate before, give it a try. Even though it's old and outdated, it will surprise you.

It's on PC now, that's pretty cool 😎

Ark... One of the most brutalest survival games in gaming history, and now it's remastered with Unreal Engine 5. It's hard not to love the sound of this for any Ark fans, myself included. I am writing this in early access, so lots of things will be changed in the future. But! In my experience playing through Ark Ascended so far. It's been fantastic! I love to see all the dinosaurs remastered with new AI and textures, and playing on The Island again has been something special to me. The developers also introduced some new and small quality-of-life features like making building easier, introducing baby dinosaurs, a new minimap, and changes in stats, plus more changes. The only major bad thing I can say about Ark right now is the performance issues. I have a decent gaming computer, nothing too good, and the most I've gotten in Ark Ascended has to be 50 frames a second. Which isn't too bad, but it certainly needs adjusting. Other than that, I'm really excited to see the future of Ascended, along with its many famous DLCs that plan to release later this year and in 2025.

I must preface that at the time I'm writing this, I'm not even an hour into the game yet... and I already love it so much. It's so colorful and cute, and the music is top-notch. There's something about playing as a raccoon, vibing to some synthwave music, and skating in a retro world that makes it so enjoyable and calming to play. If you've had a bad day at work or school, and you want something relaxing to play, or you just want to take your mind off everything then this game is perfect! I would definitely "raccomend" trying it out, especially since it's a smaller indie game, you won't be disappointed :)

Damn that rice bowl...

For the love of all that is holy, don't buy this game for the sake of your sanity!!! Wait, why is it saying I'm recommending this game? I'm not lying I swear, don't do it!

Incredibly fun and chaotic, I love it! This game has so much charm from the original DRG base game, and it's adorable with all the miniature glyphids! It's delightful to sit back and play with a controller because you don't have to control much at all since the game shoots and mines for you! I love how open the game is as well. And how you can carve your path in where you go because any direction you take is a big deal in this game. The game could definitely use some tweaking since it was just released recently in early access, but the general game itself is very enjoyable. I can already tell I'm going to play a ton of this game, and if you love Deep Rock Galactic and you're open to playing roguelikes, then you will probably have a lot of fun playing this!!

In Sound Mind is unlike any horror game I've ever played. It's the perfect mix of vivid horror, formidable puzzles, and some humor here and there. One thing that really brings this game together is Desmond and his patients. You really grow attached to the characters and get drawn into each of their stories. And you can't help but feel sympathy for the main character and his patient's tormenting situations. The game tells each of their stories remarkably as well. It is a perfect way to keep you in suspense and find out what happens next in the characters' stories! And just like most games I've reviewed, I must mention the soundtrack. More specifically the records when you eventually get them, and they are FANTASTIC! The soundtrack of In Sound Mind extraordinarily stands out and adds to the experience of the game. Towards the end of this review, I say if you like horror games or not, this game is a definite play! Just for the incredible storytelling and the characters, because there's nothing quite like it, so I would highly highly recommend this game!

Tired of the stiff wallpaper you have? Hungry for some of those moving and animated wallpapers to please your needs?

Then get Wallpaper Engine!

You can find almost anything you can think of here. Whether it's a wallpaper for a video game, a TV show, or a band, it has it all! It's incredible how many possibilities you can explore with this engine. Wallpaper Engine even gave me a hobby! Which is to make wallpapers come to life and recreate them! So if you like online drawing or animating, Wallpaper Engine might give you a new hobby! Give it a try. Once you use an animated wallpaper, you won't want to go back to using a regular wallpaper.

I came to this game because Sniss recommended this game and oh man, it's really something! You get to raise your own little quirky dogs with their silly personalities. It's a perfect game to play if you want to unwind and chill out with your Wobbledogs. Most of the time it's very entertaining playing or just watching your Wobbledogs, especially if there is a lot of them like oh my gosh they'll start throwing a party and it can get crazy! But other than that it's a delightful game and I'm glad I found it, thank you Sniss :)
