MMO Gamers. Massive Dilemmas Before Opening the Door and Slamming the Door Loud When Quitting

Guess not listening to all the media in 2018 wasn’t a bad decision? (Bethesda Launcher was a thing first and ate a lot of playtime too)

Another post brought to you by my chatters, this time even first time chatter, even though it did happen before, but it didn’t form into big thought yet then. Really appreciate my chat always bringing up interesting thoughts, discussions, and giving me an inspiration to write these posts.

Blaugust 2026. Week 4 Plans

Time for the last full week of Blaugust. This time actually posting plans in the morning even. Maybe still 2 more posts in the evening today, because it seems like there might be 3 days this week when I won’t be able to post, need to keep up the double or more pace on other days.

FOMO and Chores. Is Aggressive User Retention Necessary?

Don’t need to go far to cover this whole post with pictures, Fallout 76 covers all – here’s FOMO

Had a discussion on stream today about MMOs, started with one of the viewers saying that MMOs are usually pretty aggressive with FOMO and keeping you attached to the game. While it is a bit of a generalization and in case of MMOs it’s not as bad (except Korean and mobile MMOs), it is really bad with liveservice games and some MMOs are also affected. Technically from player’s perspective it is always bad when they are trying too hard to chain us to their game to keep playing, but I also think it might have negative effect in the long run.

Inventory Limitations in MMOs (Single-Player Games Too but Different)

Today I almost hit the limit of 500 items on my character in Stars Reach and it got me to think about this topic again, happens from time to time, mostly in MMOs and liveservice games.

First Look Friday Quick Small Reviews. IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator, Static Dread: The Submarine, Low-Budget Repairs and Night Spasm

Forgot to post about it yesterday, but I guess I had some other post ideas going instead, so I’ll drop some reviews with the addition of today’s games since this week is quite loaded for me with new stuff.

IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator

PVKK-like that happened faster than PVKK, not implying anything, just think that amount of exposure and hype PVKK got will define the genre name, at least saw that in my chat already. Great game, I did really enjoy the demo during the Next Fest and devs were also super nice and responsive agreeing to participate in my Showcase and provided press kit for that too. From what I’ve heard game keeps adding some cool challenges and interesting missions all the way through, so shooting big cannon doesn’t get old and you need to work with your head decent amount too.

My Real Life. 2026 Edition

Posted about some dreams, now what do we actually have here on the ground and what to realistically expect from the nearby future. I do yap about stuff on stream quite often, but it’s probably quite tricky to get the whole picture for someone tuning in from time to time, so here’s a better angle and archive/diary for future me.

Sigma Grindset VS Relaxed Work/Life Balance

Getting this conversation with friends quite often. I have one friend who’s working in the restaurant as a cook, could be chef already since he has 20 years of experience at this point, but he doesn’t want to live at work. His schedule currently is very relaxed, since he just goes in, prepares a bunch of ingredients for other cooks to use and goes home when he’s done. With his experience it takes around 3-4 hours, sometimes even less, then he also has 2 days off, even though they are in the middle of the week.

Why Am I Not Playing Ragnarok Zero Global

Remember those plans to post twice on Tuesday, yeah, how about zero and Wednesday too, all plans totally went exactly how I wanted. Well at least I have some time today, so here we go, guess for the rest of the month I’ll need to post twice a day to catch up, especially since next week Wednesday and Thursday might be no posting. Now it’s time to talk about the topic that I’ve been asked multiple times last few days – Ragnarok Zero Global and why am I skipping it.
