It’s a nice looking car… from the outside. That interior is something else!

Civilization V

Just start with that one and you won’t regret it.

It’s a beautiful game with lots of potential but it gets boring real fast.

That’s not a list of games for a 9 year old…

Could be diet related. Something like lactose intolerance has a few of those as possible symptoms.

Yeah I’m sure it’ll be fine. I jumped on Nextcargame very early and those first couple years were real slow going…

I’m excited for this. Let’s hope it doesn’t take 4 years like nextcargame :/

No thanks.

I like Hot Pursuit Remastered and play it every now and then as good arcade racers and getting hard to find.

I haven’t enjoyed a BF game since Bad Company 2… and everything newer is truly awful.

The controls for the Skate games, especially 3, are great.

It’s easier to say what I don’t like. Open worlds and crafting mechanics, they are just so boring

Rise of The Tomb Raider is probably the best of the new trilogy. I have a fondness for games with snow and, like you said, it plays very well.

Also makes for beautiful screenshots,

Dreamcast is alive and going strong! 2025 started off with a game jam too.

Sega Mega Drive

I’m not sure what you mean? The game is still online and populated.

I didn’t really enjoy those parts so will honestly just switch to easy mode to get through them.

Devil Dice on Playstation

I haven’t been excited for a game (DS2) in a long long time. If only I could afford and justify buying a PS5 though :/

I randomly started playing Death Stranding again. I’ve finished it before a few years ago and it’s a great game but playing it now on hard difficulty with no assists items or lethal weapons makes it more survival like and it is even better.

consoles are a big source of e-waste

Surely pc components are an equal source of e-waste? Personally I think PC gaming is in a weird place with all the unnecessary RGB obsession and endless consumerism of upgrades.

presumably already existing

I think you’d be surprised how uninterested the average person is in owning and using a pc nowadays so we can’t easily assume that.

lose their relevance over time

Also applies to pc gaming… It’s not like consoles stop working when a new one is released.

Anyway I’m not here to argue for one or the other as they can just happily coexist.

I have a Series S and quick resume and backward compatibility are the best features. The current generation is generally underwhelming though so I’m not surprised if pc gaming is on the rise.

It’s not like there needs to be a winner here. Console or PC gaming is just a personal preference and will always coexist.
