    1. Jump Ultimate Stars, this is the dream game for any Otaku, the fact that we can still play it in 2025 thanks to custom servers is a blessing.

    2. God Of War 2018, I was having a bad streak gaming related due to personal and work life, but when this game was released I got it immediately, something that I rarely do (patient gamer gang), anyway, this game kept me awake late nights, I know this is not something that one should brag about, but I was enjoying it completely thus the nights felt that happened too quickly.

    3. Toy Story 2, this game will never age for me, I honestly don’t know if it should deserve this spot, but if there is a game that I have replayed the most in my life, this would be it, the platform mechanics and graphics are top notch for me (and hey, PS1 graphics are making a comeback, so no shame at all with that style).

    Maybe another game deserves that last spot, but those 3 games were the 1st ones that came to my mind.

    Honorable mentions:

    Mario Kart DS

    Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trilogy

    Hotel Dusk & The Last Window (can you guess my favorite console by this point?)

    Pokémon Soul Silver

    TWEWY

    Time Hollow

    All the other God of War games (even Ascension)

    Batman Arkham saga (even Origins)

    The Witcher 3

    Xenoblade

    And a bunch others that would make this list absurdly big, which is not the main point of this post.


    1. Chrono Trigger is at the way top. The greatest game of all time hasn’t been bested in 30 years. Telling the best narrative I’ve heard in my life, and packing it into 20 short hours, with timeless art and amazing music, and into FOUR GODDAMN MEGABYTES, this is one many try to beat, and none have succeeded. Not even Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

    I would lose the count of how many times I have read praises (well deserved) for Chrono Trigger, and it only makes me feel bad with myself because I left it unfinished (I am close to the 1st ending… I think) because I was lost all the damn time and needed a guide to move forward, something that I really don’t enjoy, and I didn’t have too many gaps while playing it to be fair.

    I enjoy RPGs and jRPGs, even when they are not my favorite genres, but I don’t like to feel lost all the time.

    Now, it should be obvious that I didn’t play this game back in its day, my last game session was about a year ago in my DSi XL (arguably the best way to experience it) so I have 0 nostalgia googles about it, although I am a Toriyama fan and I loved the art style, graphics and music, it is only the pace and the narrative that didn’t caught me completely…

    I know I shouldn’t force myself to finish it as gaming is a hobby after all, but damn, I really want to complete it, at least one playthrough lol (I don’t like to leave stuff unfinished).

    If anyone has tips to not feel lost all the damn time (aside of not stop playing for a brief time) I am all ears.




  • Yeah no, I have seen multiple businesses closing down due to poor marketing promotion/budget.

    And then we all complain that we didn’t know about a certain product/service because they didn’t market it good enough (we have seen it a lot of times with movies for example, then they turn into obscure classics with the pass of time, but not really profitable), also some games that didn’t really made themselves known while in critical selling weeks?

    Who is gonna be the brave soul to release a game when GTA VI appears? That would be marketing suicide, no matter how good your game is.


  • Zerotier does not use wireguard and even in Android I can see a slightly bigger drain while using a VPN app, as it is using resources in the background after all (you can easily see that with adb or a rooted device), if you are not a battery freak then that’s fine I guess, I live in a 3rd world country where I can seed torrents 24/7 and ISP will never care, and VPN are a hassle to me at best, I only use them when I needed, AKA when I want to bypass CGNAT and access my Synology NAS/Plex server.

    I heavily debloated my Nvidia Shield TV and whenever I activate Proton VPN I can see it takes its resources which might affect my also heavily customized Kodi setup lol, that’s why I don’t like to run VPNs there either.










  • I choose Brave instead of Vivaldi in Android as a second browser just because of 1 feature:

    Vivaldi won’t force dark mode in all the websites WHEN the device is in dark mode only, it includes a toggle to on or off only and it doesn’t care if the device is light or dark.

    I use automatic light/dark mode and Brave and Firefox (with the Dark Reader extension) works well with this.

    Also the Vivaldi team is aware of this lacking feature since years ago but they can’t seem to fix it somehow… That’s fine by me, I can work my way without it.


  • Because it is still Chromium based and it means it is fast on Android, plus it comes packed with an adblocker by default which works wonders in closed out systems like iOS, also as many browsers (not all of them) it supports account syncing which it is always a nice plus (I can use a good working version of Brave in all the systems and keep a good flow for example).

    I main Firefox in pretty much all the systems, but the Android app is missing a lot of features like tab management, and the iOS client just sucks (Brave works better there despite being Safari based too).
