I remember watching a dubious stream of one WCG or CPL tournament back in the early 2000s, while in a local e-cafe with some friends, and he was quite good for Team 3D.

Then like ages after I learned he's Bulgarian lol

Yeah, good times. He kept using it when the fancy ones came out though. I remember him getting stick for it.

He was the only vaguely Bulgarian thing I could remember about CS, to be honest, but at least it was something eh.

In the 2006-09 period we had a player with the nickname "BA6TA_V1" which is literally "YOUR_FATHER" and he had to have it changed for a WCG/CPL/whatever cuz it was apparently crass ahaha

Good ol' days, no glamour and 240p being the defacto HD.
 

Trying out Starfield on Game pass.

I thought it was a space game?

Am a couple of hours in. So far it's been pretty much a FPS and running about a city with lots of boring (skipping through it) dialogue.

Does it get more space/better?

Not really - I’ve gone back on Baldur’s Gate 3 and dropped it as I got bored after about 15 hours

It’s not a “space” dogfighting game per se, it’s an RPG set in space with a little space battles now and again. It’s a typical Bethesda game - lots of quests, characters and dialog.

If you fancy a good space combat game I’d get Elite Dangerous, the space combat is very good.

Elite Dangerous is/was great. Played it a lot, but for me it does at times feel unfinished. Like the devs built the framework and forgot about the gameplay. Also, sadly it now feels like an old game (which it is) that's slowly dieing due to neglect.

Have you tried Star Citizen?

I'm interested but never got round to taking the plunge.

Agree with you on ED to a degree and liked what they did with odyssey, but that killed my ps5 save and I’ve never properly gotten back into it on PC.

Never tried star citizen. Really liked what chris Roberts wants to do and loved wing commander but it’s got ridiculous that it still isn’t released after all the backing/money it’s had.

Hope it’s incredible when it actually releases (if it ever does!)

I think if you wait for a proper release you will probably never play it. Seems like it will forever be a work in progress.

Every time a free fly comes around I'm too busy to give it a try. Got a couple of weeks off, might bite the bullet.

Anybody played much Slay the Spire?

I’ve just beat the heart on A20 with Silent but nowhere near with the other three classes. Found Silent has a lot more ways to win, whereas with Ironclad it was more just spamming exhaust synergies or strength as the only two ways to play and if you don’t get the right cards offered it’s really tough in Act 3/4 without a good block method.

Little over a hundred hours. Have beaten the Heart on A20 with all three base classes. Like you, I find Silent to be the easiest of the three in high ascension due to the options, and the hardcore streamer win rates back up that claim. Defect is a little wonky, relative to Ironclad. If you get a winning build, it's cake, but assembling one isn't the easiest thing in the world to do.

I could run Watcher up to A20 easily enough, but I find it not to be fun. There are a few stupid combos that just win on the spot for that class, and it's not all that hard to play into them. Deliberately not taking cards to keep certain infinite possibilities alive just doesn't feel much like StS for me, and it gets repetitive quickly. It's like hard resetting Isaac for just Knife, Ipecac, Epic Fetus or Dr. Fetus, the way a speedrunner would. Yeah, you'll win, but it's also the same thing over and over again and gets tiresome quickly.
 
Starfield is baaaaaaaaaad. I’m not bothered about the glitches, graphics, gameplay etc because that’s Bethesda, love it or hate it.

For me they’ve spent a decade working on a game that they’ve absolutely no vision as to what it’s meant to be. I don’t feel it’s a cyberpunk the setting and lore is really cool, It seems to be flawed as an RPG, flawed as an open world, flawed as a space shooter and as an FPS. The setting is unimpressive and the story is utterly nonsensical.

No man’s sky is 1000x better than this pile of AAA garbage.
