@Skarasny welcome aboard, pretty much all of your interests will correlate to someone or another around here… and certainly the ‘having too many games and not enough time to play them’, that’s a common concern for sure 😁
I rarely visit the welcome page, don't know why, probably because I never did my own intro here, and thus still feel like an outsider of the forum 😅
But you know what, I did today, and I see you mention Crusader Kings and thought it's worth a shout out. Also, the fact you do archeology is really cool, history and historical fiction are some of my own biggest interests. So welcome aboard, and I'd love to hear about your best CK3 antics. So feel free to tag @Ravix if you want to chat about CK3
I Recently finished Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 myself, and started Assassin's Creed Shadows, but the lure of medieval Bohemia was too strong so I actually picked up playing CK3 again this past week or so so I could start as a nothing Count in Plzen and then see what happens trying to play tall with no real goal other than to see Czech history unfold in front of me, and to try and keep some form of power while doing so. Needless to say, I now hold more land than the current king of Bohemia, and recently managed to capture Prague and Kutna Hora for my own Duchy, as I also acquired the title of Duke of Bohemia while I was at it. 4 generations in, and I'm calling it the Bohemian Schism. For reasons that may be clear based on these screenshots
Not bad considering I'm not attempting to grow beyond Bohemia myself, and am focusing on development and internal growth, rather than empire building.
At one point I actually fought one King for independence and deposed him. But within a few time skips I guess the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire meddled, as he ended up back on the Throne (I assume because Bohemia has House Seniority and his replacement must have died) and I was suddenly back with this same King as my Liege, so all I can assume is the Emperor granted me as a vassal back to the guy 😅 I had the last laugh, anyway, by cornering his Kingdom, moving to his previous capital and taking his silver mines, and so he finally left his mortal coil.
Now I just have to maybe depose another king so I can become Culture head, but I want to try and do it through politics rather than war. But it might not work out that way 😂
@Ravix@MightyDemon82 thx
Yupp, will be posting about books and games. I just love Ck3 and Ck2, have put alot of time in those games. I am doing a viking/anglo saxon conquest of England at the moment, starting in Jorvik county and i have just become the King of England atleast. I am just fooling around with culture and the game in general. Great fun. Not so fun being Heathen in England after some time. Well, got to do some easter fun. Happy easter to the believers
I am new to this part of the family of sites as I was introduced to NL after getting a Switch and more recently to PX as this Gen I decided to go first for a Series X (because of GP and backwards compatibility).
As a bit of a wider background I am now in the 40s club... My first system was a Mega Drive (and sonic club) but dabbled also with SNES, PSOne and N64 at friends. Said so most of my gaming growing up was on PC. On the start of the millennium my gaming lowered considerable, for over 15 years, apart from some quick periods of finishing a game I was really looking forward to (GTA IV, Tomb raider 2013, StarCraft 2, etc) and ocasionaly PES/FIFA with friends.
All that changed when I saw the Switch commercial prior lo launch and I ended up pre-orderering a gaming system for the time. Since then I got also a GBA SP, 3DS, PS2, SERIES X and Wii U (just to play xenoblade...) and a collection of 200+ physical games.
And that is the reason I am now with a PS5, as it is clear by this point Microsoft does not care about physical media o the point it does not print their own games.
On PlayStation I have plenty of series I am new to or only played 1 game (GoW, jak, ratched, horizon, etc).
The first game I am tackling is FF VII remake
Also I am very much looking forward to death stranding sequel next month.
@AgentCooper I thought you were on "vacation" hahaha. I will but for the foreseeable future I am not going to subscribe to anything online (not sure if that makes a difference on friends list)
@Jackthelad93@Pacific ahh new blood and just when we needed it! You’ve joined at a bit of a strange time guys, the forum has been very quiet of late and we recently lost a few regulars too (long story)… but welcome and hope you have a great time here with some good chat.
@Pacific yeah I imagined he was probably about right in his opinion, hopefully he’ll make a return once he’s had a break. Good to have you though buddy 👊
@Jackthelad93 welcome! About time indeed. Favorite PlayStation generation?
I think I would say the PS3 for me. The PS3 was the first time I experienced online multiplayer and I had so many good experiences and played good games during that time. Like Burnout Paradise, Red Faction: Guerrilla and Battlefield: Bad Company 2. So there's a lot of good memories for me from that era.
It's weird because the PS3 is also the only PlayStation console I have had issues with in terms of two of them breaking on me. 😅
Hello, everyone! I recently made the decision to buy a good used PS4 by the end of the year, since there are some games on it that I want to play and I think that at $550, the PS5 is a bit too expensive for me, especially since I also want to get a Switch 2 in the near future.
I've had a Nintendo Life account for several months (big Nintendo fan, btw) after lurking there for over two years. Have never lurked here, but I thought I'd join after deciding to get my own Playstation, and this is my first comment on Push Square. None of my family members at our house have ever had a Playstation before, actually 🤣 (Our family has predominantly been Nintendo gamers, and rather casual ones at that, except for me, who has started to become a lot more of a hardcore gamer in recent years).
As for my interests, I really like anime, manga, and Japanese video games, particularly JRPGs (I'm a massive otaku, btw). I can't wait to play some Neptunia games on my PS4.

@ShieldHero hey buddy, welcome to the community. Hope that the trusty PS4 lives up to and maybe even exceeds your expectations. Controversial take… but the PS4 is my favourite PlayStation generation and there are some brilliant games for it.
@ShieldHero Welcome! I’m always a little jealous of people coming to PlayStation for the first time as there’s such an amazing back catalogue to work through, especially with the higher tiers of PS+ and the digital library that comes with those.
