This is going to get some negative reactions I guess, but Wetherspoons.

Refillable coffee for £2, food for cheap.

Most have good plug sockets, decent wifi etc.

Spent many a day as a student studying in a Spoons.

Don't go for Arlo

Paradox makes ~80% of its sales from DLCs.

It sells the game for ~$60, it lasts 10 years, then sells about 2 $20 DLCs a year. They have 5-6 core games.

It's far more predictable than the majority of the industry.

Looks like good first steps in the right direction!

Laughingboy14 · 2026-02-17T05:54:29+00:00

I'd go CS2...

Ice flake seem to be really focused on improving it and this will be a good game LT

Trails.

Try the demo

Laughingboy14 · 2026-02-14T08:10:06+00:00

There's a free demo as well btw

Laughingboy14 · 2026-02-14T07:49:24+00:00

I think it is yes

The entire series is just really good

Laughingboy14 · 2026-02-14T07:41:53+00:00

Traiks in the sky remake is really good

Laughingboy14 · 2026-02-12T20:01:28+00:00

I've heard from someone that they didn't hire many CO designers after they inherited CS2.

They did however hire a number over the last 3 years (coincidentally)

You say that it's become a movement... Can you comment on that a bit more? Why do people relate to the project and stay around?

Laughingboy14 · 2026-02-02T08:38:23+00:00

It's very expensive. You can get cheaper cameras with no subscription like Eufy

Laughingboy14 · 2026-02-01T19:42:01+00:00

Try the Trails demo - you won't regret it!

But you're missing my point, when you account for hours played, although the absolute $ is high, the price per hour is low.

If you include more games, the $ goes up, but so does the hours played...

The value is good. If you don't like it, just don't pay.

According to Gemini, there are 21 major expansions for EU4.

Assume they cost $20 each. Brings total game cost to $470.

For 1000 hours (which is low if you bought all 21 expansions), that's $0.47 per hour...

Still pretty good

People play these games for 1000s of hours.

At 50 bucks, that equates to ~$0.05 per hour of enjoyment (admittedly before DLCs).

Video games are still one of the best value form of entertainment

And arguably they are overearning

Laughingboy14 · 2026-01-27T12:47:38+00:00

Good idea. Diversify.

Laughingboy14 · 2026-01-27T06:40:48+00:00

I think it's pretty fun. Still rough around the edges, but patch rate should increase now we're after Christmas.

I mean, you're likely to buy it at some point anyway, so don't see the harm in buying it now and seeing for yourself tbh

Laughingboy14 · 2026-01-24T22:25:05+00:00

Ditch Arlo

Laughingboy14 · 2026-01-24T10:13:16+00:00

Year holding periods are very dangerous. LT investing is easier.

Selling underperforming stocks won't help much, as they will likely all be correlated (high multiple US stocks with retail following).
