In my opinion, I think it depends on the audience. Some people are willing to pay full price for a strong single-player story because they value that immersive experience more than multiplayer games. Others get more out of multiplayer or live service titles. The market will ultimately decide if single-player games consistently sell well at full price, there’s no need to change. But if the audience shrinks, developers might need to reconsider pricing.

I agree. While I know it’s already massive for an indie game, I can’t help but wish for even more areas to explore or bosses to fight. The world of Hallownest is so rich and atmospheric that I’d love more DLCs expanding on the lore of the Pale King or the ancient kingdoms beyond. Can’t wait for Silksong, but I still feel like Hallownest has so much more to offer.

For me, Overcooked 2 is top-tier for its hilarious teamwork (and occasional yelling). If you’re into puzzle-platformers, Unravel Two is stunning and relaxing. And for something a bit more chaotic, Heave Ho is such a fun, quirky pick where you use teamwork to literally fling each other to safety. Cuphead is also a fantastic pick even though the bosses can be quite challenging.

I’d say Supergiant Games, though they might not be as 'underrated' anymore. Games like Hades and Transistor showcase a consistent level of creativity and polish that’s rare, even among larger studios. They’ve built a strong reputation, but I feel like they still don’t get quite enough recognition for their storytelling and art direction. A more niche pick would be Daniel Mullins Games (Pony Island, Inscryption) - they’re on another level when it comes to subverting expectations in game design.

In my opinion, if you’re looking for a more intense co-op experience, Left 4 Dead 2 is a classic. It’s all about surviving zombie hordes with your friends while strategizing and supporting each other. The game’s AI director makes every playthrough different, so it never feels repetitive. Definitely a must-play for team-focused co-op.

Personally, I think licensed music can really elevate a game when used thoughtfully. A great example is GTA: Vice City. The '80s music perfectly captured the vibe of the game and made it so much more immersive. On the flip side, sometimes it can feel forced like when a song is overplayed or doesn’t match the tone. That’s when I’d prefer an original soundtrack tailored to the game’s atmosphere.

The Cabin In The Woods - 8.5/10

Ghost stories is the wildest anime I've ever watched. Especially the English Dubbed version - this reminded me so much of early days COD lobbies where any and everything was said without any filter.

Played some Fire Emblem Awakening and made some pretty OP builds in-game.

Blockchain has the potential to transform global finance, but can it truly offer financial inclusion for marginalized communities? With traditional banking systems often inaccessible to these groups, blockchain's decentralized nature could provide an alternative. However, concerns about security, scalability, and the complexity of the technology remain. What are your thoughts on using blockchain to make finance more inclusive? Could it help marginalized communities, or would it just perpetuate existing inequalities?

Will they make it more accessible, or is there still a long way to go in bridging digital divides?

Thanks and the same to you mate and I hope next year is normal enough, lol.

To be honest, I've never really done ice skating either which is weird because I'm good at Inline skating and decent at snowboarding and skiing.

I'm more of an early bird especially in more recent years. I go to bed by 11 and I'm up by 6 am.

Same here. I don't fear needles either - I mean, the injections do hurt but I've felt way more pain from things like stubbing my toe, lol.

Personally, it depends on the occasion for me. I do have a few in my collection but I wouldn't say I'm a hat person at all.
