The appetizer before the main course.
Have you looked through PCGamingWiki?
That, and the smaller communities that are here tend to be split between multiple instances.
I took all the negative traits but forgot the positive ones.
A stuffed crust pizza would be a calzone only when it’s still yet to be cut into slices.
The moment a slice is removed from the whole would be when it becomes sushi.
I’ve been meaning to. It’s just that I got my current Netflix subscription as part of a bundle with my ISP. I have to phone them to cancel it. I don’t really have the energy to do so.
Though, I’m in the process of being kicked out of my home. If I’m able to find somewhere to go, I’ll likely cancel it once I change my address with the ISP.
Other than that. I use YouTube with an adblock on both my PC and FireStick.
I just checked the compatibility list for PCSX2.

Both games seem to be fully playable from start to end. DA1 has a fix listed for some of the issues. DA2 has a 4GB patch listed.
You might want to try both of these if you decide to give them another go.
Honestly, I think if a game was good back then, it’s still good now. There’s just a bit of an adjustment period.

Are there any types of games you enjoy in particular? Favourite genres and series?
Since I finished Starfield. I’ve had an itch for more space exploration. I decided to get back into Elite Dangerous. I haven’t played it for a good couple years. I bought the latest DLC for it when it was released. I just never got around to playing it. I’m absolutely loving the space legs.
I’ve been going from system to system. Mapping each planet and moon. Landing on those that I can. Exploring for geological features and biology samples. All while marathoning my favourite YouTube channels.

I’d add Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead to go along with DF. Also DFHack.
He already has carpal tunnel in the left one.
Honestly, the only reason I have Netflix in the first place is because it came bundled with my ISP. Can’t cancel it without phoning them up and I’m much too lazy to do so.
Hell, a lot of the time you’d get downvoted purely as some form of competition. An attempt to increase the chance of their post/comment getting upvoted. Then there’s the rest who downvote it purely because it was already downvoted by others.
Personally, I don’t really bother with keeping up with things like upcoming releases, reviews, teasers and trailers.
Not only to avoid the hype but also because there have been a couple of occasions when watching a single review or trailer on YouTube led to me getting a recommended video of the game during the release week, and that video had a massive spoiler in its title.
I prefer to go into it completely blind. Maybe I just have incredibly low standards though. Some of my favourite games are those which were widely hated.
Although after spending 10+ years on Reddit (which I’ve since quit using). Even the dedicated game subs are full of bitching and constant arguments, and God help you if you’re a fan of MMORPG’s cause that sub seems to absolutely despise them.
The same way I distract myself from anything even slightly unpleasant or uncomfortable.
Escapism via gaming, reading, music, and YouTube.
Usually multiple at once. Sensory overload makes it easier to distract yourself completely.
Literally every couple steps.
Same. I wouldn’t stop talking during combat so I was typing full sentences in that one second global cooldown.
Are you playing it on disc by any chance? I know that I couldn’t get it working due to “Games for Windows Live”. I had to purchase it a second time on Steam before it worked (since they removed GFWL from the Steam and GOG versions).
