Disclaimer:
I am not collaborating with any other organization concerning games / reviews except those listed in Section 2. of this info box (Last Updated: 26 OCT 2022). If someone claims otherwise, consider that as false information.

Reviewing since 2011, Gaming since 1999.

Playing games to full completion and then reviewing each is my hobby, passion and obsession all rolled into one package. Why? Not for money, fame, prestige - just because I like to. Life is too short to spend it doing things we don't enjoy. Simple as that.

Low playtime in last 2 weeks = probably playing something outside of Steam

A. If you add me, I will message you and ask why you did so. Failure to reply within 48 hours will result in removal.

B. I will generally NOT accept people with:

• VAC Ban,
• Game Ban,
• Trade Ban,
• Fully private profiles,
• Level 0,
• Profile not fully set up,
• Allegation to malicious organizations,
• Any other circumstance I deem inappropriate.

C. Repeatedly commenting on my material or messaging me with stuff such as: "please rate my screenshot!" "please like my guide!" or copy-paste messages like "have a wonderful weekend!" "have a good Christmas!", ASCII Art, Emoticons and similar, might result in removal and block, if it gets annoying enough.

My primary goal is, ultimately, to spread well-made, proper reviews to as many people as possible - while keeping ethics intact in doing so. My knowledge is at disposal of all that stay true to the ethics of reviewing, and show true commitment in their endeavors.

=============================================================================

It dazes me to see just how many people have their minds work like the airtight compartments of a submarine or spaceship... especially on the matters concerning ideologies. First of all, they rarely form their own convictions, but rather they consider the existing thought currents and align themselves with one they feel more affinity with. As a baseline this isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it does become one when people completely align themselves with what their chosen 'doctrine' says, not taking into consideration its individual tenets anymore, but only the 'whole package' so-to-speak, in order to find sense of belonging. Most of the time it's 'the whole deal or no deal' for such individuals.

To put it into more down-to-earth terms: if you're a Muslim then should you consider any but the People of The Book as heretics or enemies, or else be a 'bad' Muslim? If you're a Republican, should you consider immigration as an issue to counter, or else be a 'bad' Republican? Perhaps in your own conscience you find some of your chosen doctrine's tenets to be unreasonable or disagreeable with, many do have this sentiment actually, but also the majority still abides to the canons anyway in fear of retaliation from their peers or simply because it's an act of coherence.

I'd argue it's much more coherent to be true to the ideological sentiment that steams from our own personal convictions, rather than conforming to the preset ideologies someone else already laid the foundations for. You can pick elements you like of an ideology, a philosophy, a religion or a political movement and use them as a tenet for yourself, while also discarding those you deem against your conscience. It's up to each of us to determine our personal moral and etchical compass, which should stem from genuine intention, rather than adequation.

===========================================================================

[...] I try to think that way. Most of the time we will never know. It's indeed true that some actions we don't realize the importance of, do influence others in major ways. However, most of the time this doesn't come as a realization. And this realization should not be the primary driving force upon which such genuinely good-intentioned actions are started either. What is right should be the only reason for such acts.

Yet so many revel in their own ego built upon the influence they have or had. Miserable.

===========================================================================

I sometimes wish I was a simpler kind of man. So many, especially in this day and age of materialistic glorification, revel in the simple act of acquiring goods and services. Apparently, they need only such a meaningless act to be content with their lives - contempt they of course, can't discern from actual happiness, which is far harder to grasp as a concept... let alone acquire. Yet ultimately they are the best adaptation to the current state of things, the most effective and efficient way to cope with the inherent misery of existence. Those who see through the pettiness of such a process are cursed by the endless pursuit of abstractions no money can buy, and no status can grant. Few achieve them, the rest spend entire lives chasing chimeras.

===========================================================================

A devout man that acts good-heartedly in fear of God's judgment, karmic justice or whatever other belief they may have, will be called righteous by most. A man that acts in the same way nonetheless, despite reaching the conclusion that no such forces exist to govern our destiny... that is whom we should truly call 'a righteous man'.

===========================================================================

Since the past can never be undone, we resort to the coping mechanism of raising our offspring so that they may not make our same mistakes. Millennia have passed since we as a species adopted this system, and yet there isn't a day where we fail to surpass ourselves... as far as stupidity, greed and evil are concerned. Not only have we failed as a species, we also have failed as example. Animals have the excuse of being driven by instinct over reason, at least. What excuse do we have?

===========================================================================

I think people's stories enrich our own, as they give us perspective.

===========================================================================

Psychology assumes the infinite fractals of human minds can be standardized in manuals and books. It's a completely failed concept at its foundation. What is valid for one may be not for another, as the same issues may stem from different backgrounds or events, thus being the same - and not the same at all - at the same time. You cannot standardize the nature of humanity in a finite volume, as that's an infinite book with infinite pages.

===========================================================================

Humans are truly a stupid race.

We attach ourselves to as many people as we can emotionally and eventually, sentimentally. WIth the knowledge we will eventually, most probably, lose them all to the whimsical natures of life, love and sheer randomness.

Even if we know, we keep doing it to savor the fleeting periods of happiness between tragedy, which composes most of our lives - but alas makes those periods of solace all the more brilliant by contrast.

This is simply inefficient.

===========================================================================

Some answer to God, some to the self-made tribunal of common consensus. Others answer to guidelines they have been thought and not elaborated themselves.

All of them, in my opinion, are ultimately a waste of ego. The only real person we have to answer for our actions, is ourselves. Our choices are the only real valuable currency we possess in this life, so why are we not spending them well?

===========================================================================

The teachings of life cannot be learned in books, nor can be bought with millions of coins.

===========================================================================

I will state here and now that, despite being the dominant species of this orbiting ball of space dust, we are indeed the worst of them all. There's one simple reason as to why animals are better than humans, and that would be the motive behind their actions.

The creatures we often consider inferior because incapable of higher sentience on par with ours, have instinct and genome-derived pre-programming that directs each and every move they make. Conversely we, self-proclaimed 'peak of evolution', are driven by elaborate thoughts - from which concepts like betrayal, hidden ends, concealed motives all stem from.
