Yeah, for this same reason I come back to Fortnite regularly. It’s one of those games I can play relatively casually, and some of the skins are really cool too.

I just wished arena shooters were more popular. Suppose I should boot up Quake Champions / Live again sometime.

I actually like the idea of BR games, but I often find myself getting frustrated because I can’t keep up with the skill level of a lot of players these days, it seems. Especially now that I have a job and devote less time of my life to gaming. Add to that that I’ve lost aiming accuracy in my hand and that I’m probably dealing with RSi in my right hand, and that has more or less led to me just enjoying highly competitive shooters less. For that reason I mostly just casually play Fortnite every now and then, but it doesn’t really scratch the shooter itch for me (I hope CS2 will do it for me, but I’ll probably be completely demolished). Back in the day I was super into playing Quake 3 Arena and just loved strafe- and rocketjumping while landing railgun shots (ocasionally), but little of that really transferred to modern shooters. I do still enjoy playing arena shooters, though, but they’re very niche.

Currently I’ve gone back to playing single player shooters, mostly focusing on “boomer shooters”. Also I’ve just been playing Doom 1 and 2 via GZDoom lately, which has been fun.

It doesn’t? That’s such a shame. Does it perform worse or something?

Huh. Can you explain that one for me? I like the idea but how does it get rid of the need of cloud services? I take it you mean running a VPS yourself?
