Topic: Goodbye/Vacation Thread

@AdamNovice Hey, that’s great to hear and welcome back. I think I have nearly finished TLOU2 and I think I could write several essays on how I have felt during the game. Might put some spoiler tagged thoughts on the review forum thread but the game has me very conflicted.

I have Iron Man VR queues up next as well. Being Tony Stark seems like a great antidote!

@AdamNovice good to see you got your emotions in check. Your points were all valid for sure, it's difficult to grade a game you so actively dislike - especially when it's for the story and what it did with the characters!

I felt the same way with Mass Effect Andromeda. Someone would comment 'but the shootings good'.... What the heck did that matter the characters were wafer thin and I didn't care what was happening anymore. I know TLOU is different, the first game had me gripped by the amazing set up and relationship between Joel and Ellie - I honestly can't see how it can be bettered. Which is one reason I haven't been too bothered by the sequel.

@AdamNovice Good to see you back.

Oftentimes one really just needs to discuss and process one's emotions. Even if the thing causing them is fictional, emotions are real and can have a deleterious effect on our health if we keep them bottled up.

@RogerRoger I'm full on in work Rog. I have managed to post the odd comment here and there, still it's all consuming. 10 hour days and 45 minute drive into Aintree and back knock me out, then looking after my family etc.

As for gaming I've spent way too much time on Cities Skylines, the same things bug me from the PC version (waste disposal, grave yards) but now we have new rubbish like the train lines refusing to connect up! I spent about 20ish hours playing round with unlimited money (which turns the Trophies off) and built an awesome city getting used to the controls and now I'm on my trophy run!

@AdamNovice
Glad you're feeling better, dude! Definitely does help to talk about these things, and sometimes someone might say something that really resonates.

@RogerRoger thanks bro, always good to get a message and stuff! Anyhow now that we are here I was hoping your good self @AdamNovice and @Neolit have any plans for the screenshot cup? Last year it was around the same time @KratosMD runs the goty and both are great so we can avoid a clash.

@themcnoisy I actually only noticed the forum existed due to last year’s screenshot contest so definitely looking forward to this year’s one 😂😂

@nessisonett I have a title to defend!

@themcnoisy I thought Neolit left the forums?

@JohnnyShoulder
Yes, he did leave and he had his account deleted as well, I believe.

@RogerRoger I'll gladly judge as well, some of you guys gave been really kind to me over the last couple of weeks so it wouldn't be fair if I didn't give something back.
I think it was me who suggested hanging on for a bit becasuse of certain games coming out. I reckon November at the absolute latest as well.

@RogerRoger @AdamNovice Cyberpunk comes out on Nov 18th...

@RogerRoger Might be a good cut off point before next gen gets under way. Which might give some games an advantage due to better graphics etc.

@RogerRoger I vote for before Cyberpunk, I reckon we’re better waiting for next gen to take lovely photos of Night City.

I'm gonna take a little two week break from Push Square I think.

I'm (Mostly) off work now and I think after all that's gone on I deserve a nice little break...

Feel free to tag me in anything relevant like your first impressions for FFVII RogerRoger, Ness trying out Danganronpa 2, Sol finally finishing Bloodstained, how everyone's doing in Bioshock for game club KratosMD or you knuckling down with Digital Devil Saga 2/Going back to Jade Cocoon Ralizah or whatever any of all the wonderful regulars here do whilst I'm gone.

...Though uhh try not to tag me a million times or somethng?

See you all soon and stay safe!

Hope you enjoy your break @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy!

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Enjoy your break, Foxy! I'll try not to over-tag you for stuff.

Take care @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy! You’ve earned a nice break.

Have a lovely break @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Have a good one!
