"Light" themes are usually bright white or very close to it, and I find those give me a bit of a headache after a while. Given the option I will almost always take a darker theme over a light one. Of course, a lot of this depends on the website too. A light theme can work just fine when the UI...

Not physical games, at least. If there's something akin to a sharing feature with digital games, then I don't mind sharing them. I've done this before with people I've trusted to no issue. But at this point (to me) physical games are much too expensive to share unless it's with someone you...

I use both PC and console. Many of the games I want or prefer to play are simply just unavailable on PC, and even if I could get everything on PC, I honestly prefer having options outside of computers anyway for various reasons (for example, I'm away from home very often, so in that regard the...

I don't really... have much of a level of desperation for any particular or favorite games. I tend to have more of a general desperation for "I want to do something fun" after doing a lot of work, but I don't find myself so heavily addicted to the extent that I get outright cravings for gaming...

This has already happened multiple times. It's not uncommon to see sales of otherwise obscure or "wtf" games go upward after a well-known YouTuber begins playing it or otherwise draws attention to it - or downward for the same. Prolific LPers get cameos or some other notable presence in other...

I don't mind doing mods or hacks in private games with friends where we're all aware and involved. Sometimes those instances can make for their own silly fun (though I also don't do them in MMO-based games, either). However, cheating purely to win in a game where people are otherwise using...

I prefer to balance both. I like to have fun, but at some point, playing on the easiest modes stops being fun and starts getting utterly tedious. As it is, there's some games that could actually end up harder if you choose easier modes; rhythm games come to mind for me in particular, but it...

I actually tend to prefer wired controllers myself for those systems that have them, mostly because I find a direct connection easier to work with over having to sync and re-sync things constantly - not to mention batteries and charges do run out at some point. A lot of systems have you plug...

In general, the "lose a massive amount of progress before having the chance to save said progress" matter is what tends to annoy me the most as far as actual mechanics go. For games that gave me this feeling all the time, though? This is why I stopped playing League of Legends. I began pretty...

I'm pretty good at managing work/studies and play on one computer at the same time, but I'm also in a situation where I can't afford two computers and need the power that a gaming PC usually has in order to work (video editing, etc. does call for high performance). I'll sometimes play one or two...

I can't say I remember how I reacted when I was a child to losing in video games too well, but the fact I can't remember too well probably says that I didn't take losses TOO hard. My best guess is that I was probably mildly angry - not angry enough to throw a temper tantrum, but irritated. I do...

I still play Pokemon games. I've played them a lot since I was a kid, from Blue each generation until Diamond (I-IV). I skipped over the Black/White games (V), but came back once they announced X and Y, taking with me a new mindset when compared to that kid from IV previous. I enjoy the newer...

I've spent time with both the NES and Super NES as well, but it's the Nintendo 64 or the Gamecube that I spent most of my childhood with. I remember I always enjoyed playing the earlier Smash Bros. games, Mario Party games, and Kirby Air Ride. One of my two older brothers and I shared a lot of...

I don't mind being a member or even a moderator in guilds. That said, I have been an actual leader - I took over a guild when my at-the-time partner, the primary leader, was starting a new job and was busy with that (I was co-lead before this). While the guild definitely thrived under my...

Like many other people, the controller vs. keyboard argument really depends on what game I'm playing. For more basic games and most MMORPGs, keyboard and mouse suffice well enough. For games that require more precision or quicker action - fighting games, racing games and action RPGs come to mind...

I usually play games at 1920x1080 (1080p) across the board, both console and PC, if I'm running them full-screen. (I own an Elgato HD 60 Pro and usually play my console games using my computer as the screen, I'm not usually playing games where I have to worry about frame perfection on console.)...

Having coded (admittedly very simplistic) games myself, I try not to be too harsh in regards to game delays. I know how difficult trying to create a simple game can be as one person, but when you start to create games at a larger scale, the scale of bugs and glitches follows suit, and plenty of...

I dabble in multiple browsers since I do a lot of website-based work and need to check for compatibility. However, I primarily use Chrome, because it allows me to check my history from multiple devices easily. If I need to get a page I found on my phone onto my computer, I can simply check the...
