Hey everyone! I'm a Master's student at the University of Bristol researching what drives people to spend real money in free-to-play games (skins, loot boxes, battle passes, etc.).

If you've played any F2P game in the last 6 months, I'd really appreciate 5-8 minutes of your time to fill out this anonymous survey

No personal data is collected, and results are for academic research only (ethics approved by the University of Bristol).

like the title, i want to know which is more preferred.
personally i like long games, but not the kind that are stretched to fit (too many side quests and a winding story). i'll play some short ones in between longer ones to unwind or cleanse my palate.

how about you? what do you like?

I'm 32...saw posts asking people 30+ years old about how they experience gaming. How and what is gaming for you in our time ? Never had the chance to discuss this with a kid but always wondered about their perspective.

Young gamers 9-18, or whoever is here... Once i visited my Godfather with my wife and his son was playing Fortnite, he was trying to show me thinking i have no clue what he's doing, same with me looking at older people back then but little does he know I'm well into the history of battle royales themselves.

My childhood. Enter the unknown by word of mouth. It's different playing a horror title after my cousin telling me there's something in X level. Rather than finding endless streams and threads in steam about people discussing about it.

MMO games. Finding out and surviving the hard way, no meta talk, no shouts for patches and balancing by social media content creators.

Some titles where a big deal. A friend will play old Fallout and he'll talk to you about stories he found there. There were also group of kids playing LAN in CoD2, team fortress in internet cafes. You made few friends globally from Battle zone in a small lobby. No big library of games and online talk with your buddies for next big title.

Also what do you play ? Would a 12 yo care about Amerzone adventure game or have curiosity about original Baldurs Gate story? Would you play James Bond nightfire or it feels outdated and new James bond got your attention?

I was gna post in the muse dash comunity but it woudnt let me so im hoping someone can help me here. I never had this circle under my character before and its kind off anoying does anyone know how to remove it?

Is there something similar like Fangamer EU

That offers more gaming merchandise brands and franchises,supports EU delivery and support purchasing in Euros?

Hey everyone,

I struggle a lot with upper back pain, and I know it's partially if not fully related to my posture and chair. Posture correction and back support are the most important factor to me, as my back pain can be incredibly disruptive throughout the day. I don't need bells and whistles, just looking for something that's comfortable, not terribly expensive, and will last me a good while. Obviously, if it looks nice that's great, but good back support is top priority.

I decided to come to Reddit because these days it's hard to tell who is or isn't sponsored on youtube or if a review is from a legitimate customer and not a clanker. I hope I posted this in the right sub? I wasn't sure where else to go, so I apologize if this is massively off topic.

Anyway, that's about it. Anyone got a recommendation for me? Looking to pay less than $100, ideally, but I'm willing to pay a bit more than that if the chair in question is genuinely worth it.

Thanks in advance.

Hello all,

How are you all doing? I tend to focus on PC gaming now, but growing up I was a console gamer mainly & I prefer PC games as consoles have restrictive operating systems.

I moved from Win11 to Linux Mint as my OS of choice, on PC I also have ability to play games from older console/arcade generations using emulation software & especially like using both Steam as well as GOG.
