#Grouvee

[megahorous]

Finished Ghost Trick! It was great; reminded me of Ace Attorney. With all the twists and turns

-- My favorite part was the novel that the one lady was writing

-- I liked the Pomeranian; he was much like our Charlie

-- I thought Inspector Cabanela was going to be the main villain

-- Note that there are depictions of death

How do you keep track of your video games?

I spent a great deal of time trying to find a site that let's me track games I've beat, 100% completed, and games I want to play/ replay for my backlog. I have a MyAnimeList, so I thought surely I could find a gaming equivalent and well, after having signed up for 6 different sites, I haven't really found one that I like. So far I've tried...

Grouvee Eh, its meh. Not horrible, but not great for me. Just kinda bland.

ggapp.io Pretty simple and not too bad. Biggest con is no choice of console/ platforms. Some old games are vastly different on other consoles, enough so I'd consider them their own game.

HowLongToBeat Too complex and too much logging. I don't want to keep track of all my hours in each game...

Backloggd Decent enough. Simple and clean. Might go with this one. I think its based on one of the better movie-based sites, Letterboxd.

Allmy.Games Simple collection site. Import from your own game libraries and add custom games . However, its a bit buggy and I noticed many games missing cover artwork.

Backloggery Waaaay too much text. No game database, everything typed manually. I don't have the time investment nor the will for that.

So many of them are too complicated and in-depth for me. I don't want to feel like I'm writing a report on my gaming life. I simply want an easy to assemble collection of ALL my games across ALL platforms including old retro games.

Sometimes I think I may be in over my head when it comes to trying to categorize my games. I should probably just take a step back, breathe, and just go with the flow and play whatever games I want when I want. I tend to go too hard at things occasionally and it only overcomplicates matters, which playing games should be a fun activity not stressful haha.

Well, back to keeping a simple list of games to beat on a wordpad document!

Okay like....I have ignored the HP game to the point that I don't know it's genre even but like I had the 'pleasure' of coming across a positive review of it on grouvee [where I log my gaming info] and it was something like the world is amazing there's no loading screen and you can travel from Hogwarts straight to Hogsmead [or whatever its called] ....so like an open world RPG? ie an entire genre of video games? this is the biggest positive of this game? like okay damn some people's souls are just cheap as fuck then...

#nani's hot takes #i had to listen to my coworker say is jkr really that powerful #like bitch you got cotton up your ears or what #like people just be making their own narratives to justify playing this game #i very pointedly told him that i dont only disapprove of jkr but everyone who engages with her work to keep her relevant and gives her mone #since its one degree of separation from just directly funding the terf movement #like tremble under my judgement bitch idc

Social Media

It's bizarre to me how much experience in internet changed, especially tools which the purpose for was striking conversation and facilitating that. Many would say social media started with FB, but the reality was it already existed in MSN and then Skype, and before those it was forums and IIRC's. MSN and Skype made it so we would talk to each other, be it in groups or 1-on-1, and it felt like we were all connected.

Along the way, somehow social media became...disconnected, lonely, anti-social itself. Most of the tools are made so you're not talking with people. Likes, RTs, Reblogs, whatever else? It's interaction but not socializing.  We're just screaming into the void, hoping someone sees, notices us, answers us. It's become the antithesis of what social media should be. Interacting directly with words has become a bygone thing for a lot of people. Many would say, well that's why online friendships are not real, but even with family and friends that we know IRL there's less interaction, less realness. A lot of things are staged, as if it only happens if it's posted online, with pictures, and people congratulating you online even though that cousin? You haven't seen them in 5 years, and never messages you. It's very hypocrite. Mostly though? It's sad that we've had so much progress in technology, but it seems socially we're devolving. This is why mostly I am not in social medias, and by that it means I do HAVE them. I have a Twitter I sometimes check, a FB for family and friends, my websites to track what I do like GoodReads, Trakt, Anime-Planet, Grouvee, etc; but mostly? I prefer the social media that are made for actual messaging and talking with people, not at people. LINE is my fave because of the stickers, and my online friends are there. You can have groups and just chat about whatever. It's so much more real than having a lot of followers which never speak to you, that act like robots just liking or RTing, and I'm not much better. It's very easy to fall into those habits with social media like Twitter, it's done so it's fast-paced and forgettable. But I don't want to forget, I want to connect, make friends, engage, be real, be unforgettable. Disclaimer: I don't like discord because it reminds me of IIRC days, which I really don't like how it was. Also just feeling nostalgic when internet was easier to be, to have fun, and connect, where it was just people hitting it off over common hobbies and likes. A lot of that has left. Social media has become a paradise for SJW/fandom patrollers, and become incredibly toxic even with block and mute buttons. That's why I wasn't surprised when YouTube is actually one of the few social media that gives less depression/anxiety. Why? Because in YT you control what you're seeing. On social media like Twitter/etc, you can't really truly control because friends will RT things, they'll talk about things that might be heavy/downer without warning. I also see a lot of people complain that they feel invisible online, and it's no wonder when everyone is just screaming into a void, instead of speaking WITH people. Social media are no longer made to connect and talk with people, but instead a lot of platforms are made just to engage with big accounts, make money for the platforms, and they're not even made for long discussions, in-depth talk. Instead they're made for throwaway messages, mostly with gifs and memes, or likes. It's no surprise that Twitter thrives. It's the shortest of them. Y'all might think, but bitch you're right now writing a blog entry which is also a social media. Yes, but tell me, how popular ARE even blog platforms anymore? WordPress is popular, for those that blog or have websites. But it's actually an incredibly small niche. Smaller than you think. I've been involved and the top bloggers for anime community are maybe 5, 10 max. The rest falls to the wayside sooner or later. And the same will be for book reviewers, etc. Blogging has been something that's steadily died, the same as forums. Big time forums have seen their users leave for popular social medias. Reddit is a micro-forum, in a sense, but it ephemeral and comment sections will not go on 800+ pages like in some forums for 1 game discussion. Umineko, and Higurashi, had 800+ pages of discussion on 1 forum for EACH game. That was back when the anime community was on forums. Nowadays you can find them on popular social media, and some you can find on MAL forum of the discussions. I'mnot saying by this that there is NO forums, or NO bloggers. I'm saying it's stopped being popular, people stopped engaging and wanting to discuss things. People nowadays just want to throw their opinion, and their opinion as cement, their opinion as being the only right thing in the world. I miss debates, I miss discussions, I miss engaging in a way that is not shallow with a lot of people I meet but I find I can't deepen because it's just awkward on those sites. Messaging apps/websites are niche; blog websites like dreamwidth, Liveajournal, WordPress are niche; and that's a big pity. As technology evolves, we get more detached as people from others because it's just easier than having to do effort, than having to find a way to have long conversations. Twitter has DM limits, and also tweet limits, as does Tumblr, Facebook, etc. And that should tell you something.

this is your semi-regular reminder (or rather it should be, because I don’t know if I’ve said this before) that I’m 100indecisions on Steam and if you’re also on Steam, please friend me

benefits include me probably noticing when a game on your wish list is on sale and letting you know, and/or straight-up giving you games if I end up buying a bundle that has something you want

I do a lot less with Playstation Network (thestarvelingcat) or Xbox (TheVampireWaltz) but I also want friends there so please add me if you have an account

also there’s Grouvee, True Steam Achievements and its associated Playstation and Xbox sites, and MetaGamerScore, and I doubt anyone I know has accounts on any of those because I don’t know anyone else as anal as me about tracking stuff but if you do like the idea of listing/tracking/sorting your games and trophies/achievements, get an account and hit me up, I’m 100indecisions on all those sites too

Hey if you’re looking for a letterboxd for video games it’s called grouvee.

#grouvee #letterboxd

[gamingofkenna]

so I’m starting to play with ideas for a video game bingo card for next year - if you haven’t been following me this year, I made a bingo card of video game categories at the beginning of the year and have been slowly crossing them off as I play games

it’s been helping me actually work through my backlog and consciously keep track of what I’m playing, and I want to switch things up a bit for this next year, so I’m brainstorming category options. these are my ideas so far

which is... a lot

I don’t know if anyone else is interested in doing a Video Game Challenge with me, so this is mostly for me anyways, but I’d be interested in feedback if anyone IS interested, on what categories would interest you (or if you have ideas for alternate items in categories)

#txt #video game challenge #video game bingo #im kinda leaning to some of the esoteric categories like elements or biome #the ones you really have to just interpret however you want #but i really also wanna do the release decades and maybe themes? #ive got enough here to do two bingo cards #but im not even finishing this year's bingo card so i DO want them to be bingo cards and not like #a big list of categories like the group on Grouvee do

This time, I replayed Pokemon Scarlet [my 2nd time] ! It was the best game of all time

-- I liked this batch of rivals/Gym Leaders the most, I think, since Black/White

-- I think Larry's my favorite. I could imagine his interactions with Iono to be amusing; like he'd be her guest star. They should let you watch an Iono stream; I wonder if she keeps advertising the Raid Shadow VPN

-- I like Ryme too; I've never mentioned this before but I discovered PaRappa the Rapper 2 years ago and it became my favorite thing. And it's nice to see an older Lady. It's kind of interesting she has a twin sister, and does double battles, but is not a dual Gym Leader [like Tate/Liza] though I think I prefer it this way

-- My character has such a healthy and active social life; they should make school real! Maybe he marries Nemona when they grow up, and Arven marries Penny. And they live next door, like the Flintstones and the Rubbles

-- The ending is legit kind of creepypasta, in a sense. Poor Arven! What a Sada tale...

--May try to catch 'em all this time, if I can. I have the Discord for trading

i played among us for the first time today and i was only the imposter once but i DID win that round so!!

#also we played for two hours which means i need one more hour before i can officially mark the game as 'done' #as per my grouvee game challenge

[cringy-username-dream-wanderlust]

I seriously can't with people who don't believe in climate change.

#THERE IS SO MUCH EVIDENCE OUT THERE #pretending the problem doesn't exist doesn't make it go away #venting here because I know replying to the person on Grouvee will start a long tiring discussion and that's not a great idea

Giovanni decided that he missed too many great games in his lifetime, so he's going to play them all.... better late than never? As Giovanni ticks games off his virtual bucket list, he's sharing his 3 biggest takeaways from each in this series. For the inaugural episode, Giovanni dives into the Nintendo DS classic Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. He asks important questions like: Why is there no solo Bowser games? Is the 3DS' 3D feature secretly good? And how did Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam happen? Here's the list of games Giovanni plans to play through. Let us know if there's one you want to see Giovanni tackle next in the comments: https://www.grouvee.com/user/MarioPri...

That sounds so fun i love cataloguing :3 can i ask what site it is? <3

I use Grouvee(.com)! You can add what games you finished, your backlog and what you're playing etc. You can also make your own shelfs. It's pretty good, they have all games I look up, that's all I need ^_^

#other people also use howlongtobeat.com I think it's more active if you like social elements #I like grouvee's interface and options better and it has enough reviews and discussions #anyway add user pegaknight as friend or whatever😳 #p

[thelightofthingshopedfor]

wait just a fuckin’ minute, how long have I had a physical copy of The Sims 3?? why did I have no idea I had a copy of The Sims 3, let alone a physical one???

obsessing over my Grouvee profile is already leading to exciting discoveries, I guess

Alive

I don’t know why I decided to peek over here at the blog and see if Tumblr was still alive. I guess it is! Just in case anyone was worried that I’m not developing Grouvee because this blog has been dead for five years, don’t worry. I’m still actively developing the site. It’s slow because I have 2 kids and I work 50 hours a week at my real job. I also have to play video games occasionally too. I’m working on updating the game pages right now. Thanks. Happy New Year!
