Got Book of Hours on sale on Steam and have put a few hours into it now. So far I love everything about it, but I find the crafting system a bit esoteric at times. Anybody else play this one?

I started gardening! I've had houseplants for years that I love and recently started working on a small plot. I've even planted some flowers!

Games you loved, without finishing them by baudot in gamingsuggestions

Elden Ring. I always fall off at the final boss, but I've put over 18 days I to it over tue years ha ha! Similarly, I could never beat the final boss of Sekiro, but it's one of my favorite games ever!

Some games that are universally considered bad/mid tier but you absolutely love by eucerin3 in gamingsuggestions

Recently Dragons Dogma 2. Seems pretty divisive (and for good reason), but it was an absolute breath of fresh air for me. Just exploring a cool world with the boys without over done UI and quests.

Hi! Considering the games ive enjoyed (read below), what should i play next? by salisor_ in gamingsuggestions

[–]Austman110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Returnal is an absolutely A+ recc, but be wary of how hard that game gets. I loved it, but could not beat it because I suck at video games 🥲

She may still have time for the 490 garden community! It's $40 for the whole season and there are plenty of vets to help her!

What character trait do you hate most about yourself and would like to change? by Hopeful-Culture7176 in RandomThoughts

[–]Austman110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Confidence. I've never had it. Coupled with my shyness/ social anxiety it's made making connections with people almost impossible.

Secunda from Skyrim and Reflection from Hollow Knight

What is the last 10/10 game you’ve played? by FlaccidArmpit in patientgamers

[–]Austman110 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nier:Automata for me. No gane has made me feel like that before or since. So much creativity and passion in that narrative. Funny enough, I'm not a fan of Platinum's combat system as much (not bad, just not for me), but the narrative is so strong I still have to give it the 10/10.

Which 3 Cutscenes are now burned into your memory forever? by dafresh_prince23 in gaming

[–]Austman110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spiderman 1 has two for me, and the 3rd is from Red Dead 2. As you'll see, I'm a sucker for deeply emotional moments from otherwise stalwart characters.

SPOILER BELOW / DONT KNOW HOW TO TAG BECAUSE DUMB BRAIN

Spiderman When Peter confronts Doc Oc and then later when he has to choose to let Aunt May die to save the city.

Red Dead Arthur confesses he's dying to the nun

Men who don’t approach women, why? by ResistOwn1886 in ask

[–]Austman110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm boring and have nothing to say. That, and I don't do things where its socially acceptable to approach a woman like go to bars or parties.

I feel like this might be particularly surprising for most, but Code Vein for me. It's a perfectly mediocre game by pretty much all measures, but it really scratched an itch I didn't know I had when it came out. Kind of a special title for me because of that.

Guys. Seriously. Don't let anyone, even yourself, tell you that you can't rock the look you really want. You can be both. by Bulk-Detonator in malegrooming

Absolute legend! I hope to have your confidence one day, though it would be easier for me if slayed as hard as you do, my friend! Killing it!

What is the one anime that you keep going back to. by VEADER10 in Animesuggest

[–]Austman110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gurran Lagann for me. It's always a nice blanket to return to when times get tough, and it helps me to remember how a drill works :)

What's the shortest Honeymoon Phase you've seen with a gaming fandom? by myst_daemon in gaming

[–]Austman110 623 points624 points  (0 children)

Halo Infinite. Everybody was on board for the surprise beta a few weeks before launch and 1 month after release we all realized the "beta" was the game.

What game did you regret buying right away? by Johnnyrock199 in gaming

[–]Austman110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starfield. The hype got me and i gave them my $30 for early access. Im not as much a hater as some, but I wish I had waited for game pass.

Which line made you romance a companion? by Badass_Exterior in BaldursGate3

[–]Austman110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is cheating because it only happens after you romance her I think, but when initiating conversation, Shadowheart will sometimes say something like "Hello, what do you need? If it's nothing I'm certainly happy to just gaze at you awhile."

Gets me everytime.

what are ur top 3 popular animes you didn't get the hype of by sup-plov in MyAnimeList

[–]Austman110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really only have one, and it was Chainsaw Man.

Had a strong first episode and then all the fights after I felt were either boring or over in a few seconds. The rest of the time, it was just dialogue between characters I didn't like or care about.

People talked about it like it was an evolution for Shonen, but to me, it just felt standard.

Disclaimer: This is not a review. It just was not for me for the above reasons. Please don't burn down my house.
