  • I get that they’re being greedy, but provided you’re not set on watching one specific show, why pay for Netflix? Lots of cable TV providers are setting up their own services and taking their shows there instead of Netflix. Most of the Netflix originals either don’t last, aren’t even close to being good, or both; I feel like there hasn’t been more than two or three major hits from them a year in awhile (could be wrong though). In the past they had no big competitors so they could charge whatever, now it just seems like way too much.

    (I guess that doesn’t mean the ad-supported tier going away, but who wants to pay and still have to watch ads?)



  • I’d say the biggest two DLC packs (Rise and Fall, Gathering Storm) can be worth it; though only on sale. They add a new era score system, natural disasters, and global warming. I bought Civ 6 in its platinum bundle (more than half off), while I like having them had I paid full price I wouldn’t have been happy. If you don’t want to play with them after you get them, you can still toggle them off at the beginning of a game. Then there’s individual civilization packs; if there’s some that interest you/come in a pack, that’s great, but you’re just getting one or two new civs to play with there. Don’t have the New Frontier or Leader Pass stuff, that’s in the anthology, but I’ve heard the Leader Pass doesn’t even run right on Mac or Linux. Hope this helps you out, definitely wait for the summer sale though!



  • Mine is currently Civilization 6 and I don’t think I have anything else that could possibly fit; I occasionally have to step back and decide what to do next as it still is a strategy game, but since turns can take awhile (especially in late game since the AIs have to take their turns), having something else to pass the time helps. The dialogue is pretty inconsequential, and turning the game’s sound off won’t really change anything. I usually have music/podcasts going while I play.

    (Worth noting it does have lots of DLC, but it doesn’t make winning easier and is entirely skippable.)


  • Really enjoying roguelikes right now; picked up Hades and Cult of the Lamb when they were on sale and really enjoyed the gameplay. Nothing’s the same every time, which definitely keeps me from getting bored.

    Looking into branching out into horror/horror-adjacent games, but I have to pick ones without frequent jumpscares. I’m very, well, jumpy, so I’m leaning towards something more heavy on dread than shock factor. Already looking at getting The Stanley Parable during the summer sale.
