    General Do you listen to music/podcasts while playing, or do you need total focus?

    Music is sweet but it's a trap 😅 I’ve lost too many matches because I was listening to music. And whenever I switched off the music, my gameplay improved instantly. But the silence can make things too dry too.

    General Which RTS game has the best "One More Turn" feeling?

    It has happened to me severally. I would say “just 5 mins” next thing it's 3am. The next day you would be so tired and weak to go to work. It's funny and pathetic at the same time.

    General Is it better to have a deep tech tree or a simple one that is easy to learn in a strategy games?

    The deep tech tree is nice until it turned into a deep confusion😅 I opened one game like that, I just close it immediately. Also, the simple ones can also bore you fast. Balance is the key but it's a pity that the devs don't always get it right.

    General What was the most heartbreaking moment you've ever had in a game mission?

    I still remember one mission like yesterday, everything was perfect then boom one mistake wiped me out. I just stare at the screen like someone who lost a bet 😂. That pain is so much worse. I even turned off my computer that day. I didn't touch the game for like 3 days.

    General If you could combine two RTS games into one, which ones would they be?

    You just touch my pain point. These devs are just too stubborn. I’ve seen one game with perfect economy but useless combat, another with crazy battles but zero planning. If they are combined, it would be perfect. If they can swallow their pride and merge ideas, we would have gotten one...

    General What is the most satisfying sound effect in any RTS game?

    That “unit ready” sound can enter your soul for real, especially late at night when everywhere is quiet. Those small sounds carries some weight even more than graphics sometimes.

    General Should resources be infinite, or should you have to fight over new mines?

    Infinite resources is never a strategy. I remember one match I had my last resources, and when the enemy is coming to attack, my heart beats like it's real. That feeling is not there when everything is unlimited. That's the beauty of the game.

    General Is single-player "skirmish" mode more relaxing than playing against humans?

    Skirmish is my peace honestly. Playing humans sometimes feels stressful and there is no breathing space 😂. With skirmish I can chill, sip my coffee and plan well. Sometimes, I just want control, not adrenaline rush.

    News It’s Official! Warhammer 40K Space Marine III

    This one sounds interesting but I am always mindful of hype. It seems like every release now is like a gamble. You will pay the full price, still wait for patches like it's an early access. If they deliver a solid combat, no microtransaction madness, I will support them.

    General Do You Finish Games, or Just Move On?

    I have given up on finishing games 😂 especially if it starts to drag. Back then I used to chase the game endings like it was a trophy, now I don't do that anymore. If a game doesn't respect my time, I won't respect it either.

    General Your Most Controversial Gaming Opinion

    My own controversial take is that most open-world games are scam. Big map, empty content. Imagine wasting your time to explore nothing. So, just give me a small focused game that makes sense, I'm ok.

    General Are Game Reviews Still Worth Reading?

    These reviews are not to be trusted again. The game would crash, you will encounter bugs everywhere, they will still write that it's a masterpiece. Now, I watch gameplay clips and check small creators' opinions. At least those ones are still trustworthy.

    General The First Game You Ever Got Obsessed With

    Mine was not even a fancy game like all these old classics. It was a GTA Vice City. I would save money and skip lunch just to play for one hour. That feeling of being hooked doesn't come easy again. These new games rush everything very quickly now.

    General What new games are you looking forward to?

    I am actually looking forward to anything that will actually feel complete on release 😂 because these days most of the games they drop are half baked. You would buy a game, next thing, it's patches and DLC to enjoy it fully.

    General Marvel Rivals Leak Reveals Season 2 Map 'Arakko.'

    There are leaks everywhere these days 😂 before the game even drops. I miss when you will only discover things afresh. Now there are spoilers everywhere. But the Arakko map sounds crazy. If they design it well, it could bring new vibes.

    General DOOM Just Got a New Campaign - From John Romero Himself

    I think the DOOM fans 😂 don't ever move on so easily and I respect that . Romero is still dropping content like it just started yesterday. That kind of passion is very rare now. Most devs are fond of abandoning their old games and chasing money instead. But this one shows love to the core fans.

    General System Shock 2 Remaster Release Date Confirmed as 26th June!

    The best thing for them is to deliver 😂 because patience is gone unlike before. It seems remasters now take forever, even when the price is high. If they mess this one up, fans might not forgive them.

    General Keyboard & Mouse or Controller?

    Keyboard and mouse all the way 😂 controllers for FPS on PC can be very stressful. I tried it once, spent like 30 mins just to set it up, next thing the sensitivity was so bad. I didn't enjoy it.

    General The Most Satisfying Gun in Gaming History

    The gravity gun mention just wake some memories 😂. It was not an ordinary weapon. I remember the first time i use it, i laughed non stop. Nowadays, the guns are loud and shiny but no personality. That old design is still very preferable.

    General The Golden Age of FPS Was When...?

    I will still defend old FPS era any time any day 😂 . Those games have the soul. Now everything is fast and flashy, no depth. These new games feel like noise sometimes. Old games will make you think, not just to react like robots.
