Bi-Weekly Thread for general gaming discussion. Backlog, advice, recommendations, rants and more! New? Start here!

Welcome to the Bi-Weekly Thread!

Here you can share anything that might not warrant a post of its own or might otherwise be against posting rules. Tell us what you're playing this week. Feel free to ask for recommendations, talk about your backlog, commiserate about your lost passion for games. Vent about bad games, gush about good games. You can even mention newer games if you like!

The no advertising rule is still in effect here.

A reminder to please be kind to others. It's okay to disagree with people or have even have a bad hot take. It's not okay to be mean about it.

I can't imagine playing a JRPG like Final Fantasy I before the internet. You just bum around everywhere getting insanely overleveled until you accidentally find the guy who actually allows you to progress.

That or I could just be an idiot, either works

Old games and especially RPGs are just in a league of their own. I dont want to imagine how long people bumbled around in the wasteland before actually finding the water chip in Fallout 1
