@cheese_greater @asklemmy I’m a sucker for blueberries - they’re currently in season. Either on their own or in something.

@otter @asklemmy Currently playing Batman Arkham Asylum which last had a save ~2009. Not a superhero fan really but the team who made this were on fire. It’s so well crafted, the design decisions and direction, very enjoyable.

Which video game did you bounce off of at first, but then tried again later for it to become one of your favorites of all time? in c/[email protected]

@rip_[email protected] @[email protected] DAYS GONE. I gave it a go a couple of times, found the setup to be a bit corny and quit. But when I pushed further, the quality and the effort the devs and the actors put into it came through. Sure the story is safe and gameplay (excl hordes) is conventional, but enjoyable all the same.

Cheating a bit in that it wouldn't be one of my faves but I am gobsmacked Gamespot gave it 5/10 and IGN 6/5. Strong 8 at min. Sad there wont be a sequel to continue the story.

Do you prefer digital or physical books? in c/[email protected]

@[email protected] @[email protected] Physical Books. Love the tactile experience and visual representation of % complete. No issues with digital sometimes more practical when lending from the library. Not keen on buying ebooks.
