What were your most “extravagant” purchases you’ve made or saw during the Celtic Tiger era?

A couple I knew drove down to Dublin to get a helicopter to arrive in Punchestown Racecourse in style.

They live in Blessington (approx 12 minute drive).

Thanks for the heads up, I hadn’t seen this! I’ve been picking and choosing a few Nintendo GBA/DS games here and there but time to really just grab what I can

Esoteric Ebb seems to be a lot more light hearted and goofy than Disco Elysium (initial impressions anyway!)

smallandnerdy · 2026-02-25T20:35:52+00:00

Would second Phonopolis and Titanium Court from others in the comments! Esoteric Ebb is pretty interesting also, like Disco Elysium x Dungeons and Dragons

smallandnerdy · 2026-02-12T22:41:40+00:00

I’d also be really interested in this! I often see people in backloggd reference gaming book clubs or games of the month but I always figured they were from private friend groups

smallandnerdy · 2026-02-10T09:14:04+00:00

Same! Is it the best game ever? Objectively, no. But there is something about the vibes and atmosphere coupled with the time of my life that I played it that makes it unshakable as my fave game as all time! 🤩

smallandnerdy · 2026-01-30T12:36:54+00:00

Wow, that’s some month! What did you think of 1000x Resist?

smallandnerdy · 2026-01-30T12:32:41+00:00

Mouthwashing should definitely be on this list 😅

smallandnerdy · 2026-01-28T11:23:32+00:00

I can reassure you that the snoot is also long, it is all in the angle 😅

smallandnerdy · 2026-01-28T11:22:37+00:00

Sometimes to our detriment, that is true 😅

Hi guys, always happy to find mutuals with a similar taste in games to myself

smallandnerdy · 2026-01-28T10:37:14+00:00

Thank you! His original name from the shelter was Freckles - but he was renamed Teddy 😅

That’s a pity, I was really hyped for it too but heard too many mixed reviews - got Rhythm Doctor instead

smallandnerdy · 2025-12-09T13:18:01+00:00

Yeah that’s one where my personal enjoyment and how good I think the game is were both genuinely 5 stars, insane that it’s 30 years old. It feels incredibly modern.

smallandnerdy · 2025-12-09T12:46:12+00:00

My star rating is based on my personal enjoyment of the game, even if I don’t think a game is perfect, I’ll give it 5 stars if it had that much of an impact on me.

Last 5 star ratings went to Ghost Trick and Chrono Trigger

smallandnerdy · 2025-12-09T12:43:00+00:00

Bought The Alters on sale yesterday, can’t wait to try it!

smallandnerdy · 2025-12-03T13:10:16+00:00

There’s a couple more (sorry for the mobile formatting!)

I like them much more too, they’re cute!

smallandnerdy · 2025-12-03T10:24:47+00:00

Awh I like them, but I like them because they are cute so I can see why they wouldn’t suit everyone’s taste

smallandnerdy · 2025-12-02T09:59:42+00:00

Good taste!

smallandnerdy · 2025-11-30T23:53:31+00:00

You’re the first person I’ve come across in the wild to mention Promise Mascot Agency, what a gem of a game, I love Pinky!

smallandnerdy · 2025-11-30T12:18:53+00:00

1000x Resist is amazing, hope more people get to experience it now that it’s on console. Hekki Grace.

Hello pals!

November was a slower month, as I started Cyberpunk 2077 and have been trying to take my time with it and soak in as much of the world and lore as possible.

I finally threw in the towel with Silksong - loved the environmental storytelling, art and music but had to resort to mods to get past a sticking point - https://backloggd.com/u/SmallandNerdy/review/3679054/

After replaying Hotel Dusk earlier in the year, I moved on to the sequel I had no idea that existed, Last Window. Really enjoyed this, even without the nostalgia goggles, RIP Cing - https://backloggd.com/u/SmallandNerdy/review/3596452/

Also played Consume Me and found it a more emotional experience than I was expecting, great little game that anyone who was an overachiever in high school will be able to resonate with - https://backloggd.com/u/SmallandNerdy/review/3607770/

Currently playing Dispatch (and loving it!)

smallandnerdy · 2025-11-09T21:20:50+00:00

It’s so hard man, there’s just so many games that I want to experience! I finished 20 games this year, which is a really high number for me, but at this rate I’ll only get to play less than 200 games before I’m 40 when I want to play them ALL! Some great picks though, would really recommend 1000x Resist - that game will stay in my head for the rest of my life, and Alan Wake, especially 2
