You'll be joining millions of aspiring other Youtubers who want to start a gaming channel. You'll really need to bring something different, this is so saturated now that it's going to be very hard to stand out

I think it would be incredibly meaningful to memorialize people who have made a significant contribution to the community; it's an incredible way to honor them

Oh my gosh, please don't give video game developers even more excuses to build in micro transactions and paywalls 😄

I agree with @killamch89, in no way do I think video games are purposely being made poorly so Youtube influencers will provide them more coverage (isn't that such a self-centered view by influencers??), but it's definitely rushing the dev cycle and trying to meet market timelines

This isn't important to me - gaming is like my own form of relaxation, and if she enjoys it with me, all the better.

I know this sounds boring, but having a set time for gaming (eg. after work from 8:00 - 10:00 PM). Once it goes past that timeframe, it's time to switch back to 'normal life' mode

You sound like a fun person to play with. I definitely agree that you gotta find someone you're willing to vibe with, and that includes trying and experimenting and doing crazy stuff sometimes!

A lot of the classic Starcraft maps I would knwo by heart; if you play a map enough, you know exactly how long / how many clicks it'll take to build a new base in a new resource area

I always add them to my Steam list of friends, and do sometimes periodicaly send chats their way if I think of them. But many of them are simply acquaintances that I'll check to see if they're online when I'm about ot launch a new lobby

It's okay! Even if your posts are not perfect, they're readable - and that is what's important for others 🙂

I loved those iconic games too; they were so fun to play with friends. Nowadays, I feel like so much of the focus is on the graphics are the expense of compelling gameplay (do you need ambient lighting? Sure, it makes walking through a forest super pretty. But it doesn't actually make the game more fun to play)

One thing that is exciting about the future of gameplay is potentially AI procedural generation, which will offer infinite variety and breadth and world building. They're already incorporating it into D&D gameplay

Overcooked 2 is such a fun and silly game, I've played it many times with frieds for co-op If you're looking for something a little more intense, I would recommend World of Tanks

Yes! So much of the PS5 is just recycles of prior games with fancy new graphics, but there isn't refreshing new gameplay.

One thing that I love about Steam is the rise of 'Steam bombing' where masses of players will bomb negative reviews of a game! 😁
