QOTW: I have unfortunately not been excited about any new game in close to a decade, I got burned so often by being excited that I simply stopped being excited, a large contributor to that loss is the plain fact that the vast majority of "tripple a" games release unfinished and unpolished, full of microtransactions and that when the game already has a 60/70€ price tag. Other reasons are that I simply don't play these sorts of games, I am not a big platformer or puzzle fan and so on, but I am more than certain that there are some great games for people that are into the genre.

A Bomb: Xbox Game Pass on PC is infuriating me recently, I have a Gigabit download speed, but the damn app only downloads with 20MB/s when the maximum is somewhere in the neighbourhood of 140MB/s, what is this? 1998? Do I have to tell my neighbours to get off the phone or something? Give me my 140MB/s!

Da Bomb: Goes to Exoprimal, weird one I know, it hasn't been well received, but I am playing through Game Pass but the only problem ExoPrimal has is the price tag, it is a good game, it's a fun experience, just not for the price they are asking. A match takes about 10-15 minutes max, and so it is a good game where you play 2-3 matches an evening and have some fun killing masses of dinosaurs.
