Enjoy! Let me know how it turns out!

‘Or?’ Why not both?

That game was such a wild ride from start to end! The final mission made my heart thump and I appreciated the fact that nobody is truly safe, more-so with a few mods that make it less predictable.

I’m glad I accidentally got the neutral ending first, thus making the best ending even better.

It’s hard to pick just one:

• Deus Ex. It’s timelessly topical despite being released in 2000. It predicted the War on Terror and a massive pandemic to name a couple.

• Spiritfarer, for maximum onion chopping. Saying goodbye to Gwen really messed me up since I became very attached to her, and I can’t finish the last stretch of the game because it’s too emotionally taxing.

• Undertale and wholesome fan-games like Act to Flirt.

• Half-Life 2, circa 2004 when it was a leap ahead of everything else. I was unsettled by the teaser screenshots due to how real it all seemed to be during its heyday. (I did re-capture part of that feeling with M Mod and its great yet faithful modernisation effects. Plus there’s some blursed mods you can combine with it such as replacing Alyx with Krystal, voiced by the original actress.)

• Duke Nukem 3D: Alien Armageddon. It blew me away how much custom content and passion has been invested, so good that it almost felt like I was playing Duke Nukem for the first time all over again.

• There’s many more worth mentioning such as Unreal, Morrowind, Oblivion, Company of Heroes 1 and the forgotten gem that is Ground Control.

Man, I was born just at the right time to experience a stunning variety of titles and enjoy the mods that improve them.

Don’t forget what’s in store for Ireland in 2024.

Garak really wants to share his isolinear datarod with him.

I wasn’t implying there was a need for a sixty year old computer, just that some natural materials are superior to their substitutes.

I have sixty year old hobnail boots that are still solid. Synthetic material would have failed long ago.

DS9: The Visitor

“Computer, remove onions.”

“Beep-beep There are no onions in your room.”

“Dammit.”

Berlin, when the wall fell.

It balances against the harsh darkness of the main storyline, and in a 26 episode series you can’t just bash out war after war after war episode - everyone needs a break.

The almost entirely relentless grimness of Picard season 1 is exactly why I detested it. Except Riker’s pizza episode, the rest was just characters acting unconvincingly traumatised and chugging alcohol.
