I’m happy that I can spare much more money nowadays on videogames due to the retarded propaganda in them.

Way more great games than I'll ever have the time to play, with such a wild amount of diversity in all possible parameters.
But most of all, that the tools to tinker around with games yourself are so widely available and supported them I can even expand my hobby in that direction.

One of my favorite devs in the industry if not my favorite dev in the industry currently. Them and RGG studios kick major amounts of ass and they deserve love and props.

Gaming is awesome and there's more great games to play than ever.
Modern internet discourse has the masses bitching about every tiny last thing instead of, you know, actually sitting down and enjoying their hobby.

I’m happy about the sheer amount of quality JRPG’s that keep coming out.

I am very sour on gaming, but it is great to see that there are developers who are still willing and able to make actual video games, like Astro Bot, Stellar Blade, Black Myth: Wukong, and Space Marine 2. I look forward to more action games. I'm having a lot of fun with Diablo 3, and starting The Witcher 3.

Indies keep killing it. Much to be happy about. Selaco and Killing Antidote are getting the Chapter 2 treatment as well.
Christopher from N4G can't tolerate good xbox news and he's old as f. Gamespot says something mean about any random topic they picked and expect nice replies. ign is just about podcasts and the site besides games release dates is a complete garbage. Polygon is the house of Anita Sarkeesian. Kotako besides its adds is the newspaper of video games. Push Square posts like what you see in blogs and magazines. Game Informer is pretty much the same. Game Trailers is the house of Trailers. Windows Central posts are mediocre and pretty much just about reviews. The Verge just for the clicks. Wired is Cerny's favorite site for interviews. Cnet is irrelevant.

Im happy that PC gets a lot of couch co-op games nowadays. Still get left out from time to time - but even RE5 got a couch co-op patch. Quake 2, Brotato, Gigabash, Helldivers, Mass Exodus lots of great times with my kids. Quake 2 especially - that was my game for a looong time so getting to play co-op with my son and daughter was amazing and something I didn't know I wanted.

I would say randomizers. They let me play through favorites a whole new way each time and it's a lot of fun trying to figure out the progression.

Between online stores, multiplataforming, retrocompability, emulators, indie games, free games, mods, fan games and internet we have more to choose and play than ever. So, yeah, we can complain about so much things of the current industry (I do), but we have the power of ignore them and enjoy what makes us happy too. I played only two games released on this year (SH2R and Mullet Madjack) and it doesn't matter because I enjoyed dmc5, REmake 4, Powerslave and the Nun Massacre for the first time, I replayed the original RE trilogy, the first remake and the first two Silent Hill games, and I'm playing Celeste at this moment (great game btw)...and I have a lot of more! This is more than I could say when I was in school.
Oh, and I said about indie games. There are lots of indie games, crowfunded ones and just made by small companies of most genres and it's imposible even know the existence of all of them. There are lots of bad and mediocre games, of course...and lots of great ones too.

i'm happy that my favourite series, resident evil, is in a great place right now. RE9, RE0 remake, code veronica remake. i want them all. silent hill could also be back? sh2 was fantastic so i'm hoping bloober is already in pre production of SH1 or SH3. i'm also hoping silent hill f will turn out good.
i can't believe we're getting a max payne remake, that's a dream come true for me and i'm optimistic remedy won't fuck it up. gta 6 looks sick and we're getting a new cyberpunk game sometime in the future.

Loving the Switch 2 leaks currently. Tracking and discussing gaming rumors is one of my favorite games. I only wish the hardware (or at least the leaks) was weirder. I count on Nintendo for my generational dose of whimsy.
Beyond that, been playing/replaying some older games with my wife, so that's a good time. I love that couch co-op is still a thing and that gaming companies bother to port or patch fun co-op games from generations past. I don't play as many new AAA blockbusters as I used to, but I think that's more a function of the type of game the big studios have been pushing out this gen. I have plenty to play though, so I'm happy.

For me it’s steam deck, portal, steam key sites, and exploiting gamepass when a big game launches.

Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.
I'm happy we still have Nintendo...cause for a few moments it looked like they weren't going to make it. And no offense to anybody, but I'm bored out of my mind with the stuff coming from most other companies. With the rarest exceptions..

News - Retro - New upcoming CRT shader solution.
Looks like son of BFI. The tech should work fine on an 120hz LCD display, but the effect improves with more frames. Expect it on Retroarch & Retrotink devices in the future. Finally a use for the new 480hz screens, play Sonic the Hedgehog as it was meant to be viewed. edit: Source is released...

The last 8 years have been fantastic for SRPGs and grand strategy.
Just to name some: Tactics Ogre, Unicorn Overlord, Triangle Strategy, Fire Emblem 3 Houses/ Engage, Brigandine, Langrisser 1 and 2, Mercenaries Rebirth and Lament, Relayer, Disgaea 7, Romance of the 3 Kingdoms 8 Remake. Plus Civilization 7 is just weeks away.
Far better than 2004-2015 or so when things were pretty dire in the srpg genre.(when devs of Fire Emblem Awakening thought it would be final game in series even)

I’m so happy over Indiana Jones and the Great Circle - For a big Indy movie fan this game is just pure fan service from start to finish and the best Indy story since Last Crusade. I expected a lot but it turned out even better than expected and that’s a rare thing. In my top 5 for the best playthrough in a decade! And the definite GOTY for me.
Absolutely loved Astro Bot - gave me my first Platinum ever for me, played every second of it with excited kids sitting beside me so it’s been a family thing, we’ve been playing it for a couple weeks and did the final things for the Platinum plus the Christmas expansion on Christmas Day. Just fantastic!
Started playing Minishoot Adventures yesterday day after seeing it on John’s personal GOTY list. Pure joy! It’s Zelda and a twin stick shmup!
Small things:
Steam Big Picture mode is amazing. Everything about it makes me happy, can’t praise it enough really, nearly perfect to turn PC into a console.
I never scored a 30th anniversary PS5 Pro but I got the 30th anniversary Dualsense controller and it just makes me happy everytime I pick it up. Was really cool that they had the same colors in Astro Bot for the space ship.
Oh and Switch 2 is coming next year isn’t it? Exciting times!
Been on NeoGAF for 18 years now, I’m just glad that this place exists.

I'm happy for once that the youtubers I am subbed to that were hating on that game for being "woke" and for making the female characters ugly were wrong and that it was a good game. I mean, yeah, the female characters did not look like they came out of some rpg, but I also never saw the OG female characters as being attractive either. You can argue "better" but neither the new or old games had them looking good imo.
