I've been playing Elden Ring on and off for months now and I'm apparently only a third of the way done.
A sub-10 hr GOOD game would be much more manageable.
@MetalJesusRocks@GaminOffTheGrid Yahtzee Croshaw was right on this. The 6th gen was the perfect balance between graphics, developer experience and budgets/development time. If we'd had the indie dev scene we do now this'd have been THE golden age.
@ReviewsPossum This is the 'poor mans boots' economic theory (from Terry Pratchett).
Those with the initial capital end up spending less overall than those who can only afford the cheap option in the here-and-now.
@kitbashcat For my studio I have several potted plants and try to keep as much of a fresh airflow as possible.
Light is an individual room issue so can't comment on that.
Swapping my office chair for an armchair worked wonders too.
