Marbles on Stream used to be one the best community games for streamers to play. It is no longer. Several updates since 2022 have changed the game significantly to it's detriment. Global Point scoring favors the larger establish streamer who capable of getting 100 players on track. These changes make smaller and newer streamers no longer viable. Over time other features that smaller streamers have used have been cut with no warning.

An update in 2024 changed the user interface significantly to the detriment to the application. The ability to play tracks offline was removed with this update. Only tracks that have been built with the track builder and uploaded are now allowed. If you have not paid for current season builder pack, you are not allowed to play your older tracks anymore. This "oversight" screams of a developer desperately trying to monetize. With it's track record of changes and the fact the company has a history with NFT's, it should be no surprise.

My account shows a few hours, that's time with the application open. It does not show the time spent on Twitch.

I haven't enjoyed a FPS game in quite a while. The Finals doesn't take it self seriously and it shows. Still having a blast going Wrecking Crew Heavy and taking down buildings.

It may have shipped buggy, but CDPR has taken the past two years to polish and improve the game. It is a wild wild ride and it's well written from top to bottom.

One of the most beautiful games I've played in a very long time. It is as if you are walking though the comic pages of Moebius ( aka Jean Giraud). The transitions from day to night is worthwhile to sit back and watch as the light and shadows move across the landscape. There is no combat, and the game does not need it. Game is rich in exploration and puzzle solving. All in all, make the game much more deviously clever while remaining calm and awe inspiring. There are a few minor bug (at release), but they are mostly visual such as items floating.

Kind Words is about getting help and helping others. It's a nice little package that chill and relaxing.
