I set out to make a pizza dough this morning and seem to have accidentally made a loaf of bread. Not sure how that happened but it’s very tasty bread. Doesn’t really go with pizza toppings though.
@Jimmer-jammer I probably should have twigged at some point that it didn’t in any way resemble pizza dough. Still, I actually did do that sorta pizza bread thing and spread some sauce and mozzarella on it and it turned out ok. I used quite a bit of cornmeal in the dough so I guess it was sorta a mix between a wholemeal loaf and cornbread but with pizza toppings?
@Th3solution@colonelkilgore@Thrillho@nessisonett@Jimmer-jammer@Voltan Hey guys, I was wondering what you boys would think about this: Have your gaming tastes changed over the years? When I was first properly getting into gaming, I was throwing myself into the Souls games, I only wanted to play the hardest games out there to give myself a real challenge, now I have mellowed out somewhat and am playing the likes of Uncharted 4 and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy and looking at Resident Evil: Village and Biomutant this month as my next games, more appropriate games for a seasoned, older and mellowed-out gamer, I was wondering if this was the same for any of you? Were you really gung-ho and hardcore in your approach to gaming at first, has this changed and how has it changed over the years?
On a side-note, are any of you excited for Resident Evil: Village tomorrow and will you be playing it along with me when it comes out in the morning?
@TheBrandedSwordsman Yeah, I think my gaming tastes have changed over the last few years. I previously had my favorites that I stuck to, but I’ve made a concerted effort to expand my gaming menu. At the same time, I also feel like I’m more relaxed in my gameplay approach than I used to be, and I shy away from challenges that I previously would have taken. Not sure if my reaction time has taken a hit, but I just don’t have the time I once had, so I have to prioritize more.
I remember a few years ago playing Final Fantasy 7 and just grinding like a madman to level up and split my materia so I could beat the underwater optional boss (forgetting it’s name right now) and that’s the kind of thing I probably wouldn’t do now. I’d skip it and move on because I have so many more games to play and so much less time to do it.

@TheBrandedSwordsman I’ve found that I play a lot more horror games now. Used to avoid them like the plague. I also finally enjoy 2D Zelda games, which I’ve not found fun ever since I was a kid.
@TheBrandedSwordsman yeah mines changed massively mate. My phases have probably taken in every genre give or take.
I did go through an elongated phase of only playing open-world and open-world rpgs from about 2003ish to 2016... I was not as 'in' to Gaming at that point though and would only dust off the controller if a new Rockstar, Avalanche, Volition, Bethesda or Bioware game was released.
Souls-likes and Trophy hunting opened my eyes to other genres though and I'll play pretty much anything now as long as its half-decent.
The Witcher 3’s director’s resigned from CDPR after a months-long investigation into harassment and workplace bullying. Really feel for the worker grunts at that place, sounds like an absolute hell-hole to work for.
@TheBrandedSwordsman Hmm.. I’m not so sure my tastes have changed that drastically as I dabble in different things but mostly enjoy action and RPGs with a good story.
I guess the biggest change is that I haven’t bought a sporting franchise game in years (the last FIFA game was the one I got with my PS4). I guess it’s just having slightly less time to play than I used to but I seem to still buy games at a similar rate!
