Kubi's killing the backlog! kubikill’s profile

Hello! I'm Jakub.

I make web things, like to play games and have terrible spending habits. I can play just about any game, as long as it's not either a dating sim, a horror game or Bad Rats.
I usually stick to singleplayer games but I'm down to play something multiplayer if someone's interested.

Game strategy: Complete main story and most (or all) unique side content.
Go for 100% achievements only if the achievements are fun to get and aren't too difficult and time-consuming.

Rating system:

★★★★★★ - Masterpiece! One of my favorites.
★★★★★ - Loved it! Maybe not perfect but still just as amazing.
★★★★ - Really liked it! There were some nitpicks but nothing too major.
★★★ - Liked it! Not a jaw dropper, but not that bad either.
★★ - It was okay. Could've been better.
★ - Not worth playing.

Notes

I’m slowly taking care of my gift games, having beaten Greedfall and Vampire Survivors and now slowly working on Pyre. I also got a few gifts from my Secret Santa at TalePlay - thanks again, you’ve got great taste :)

I got distracted with Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 recently, with the recent MvM event and I just had an urge to play some L4D2 and hunt achievements while at it.

Also I went on that vacation I wrote about in the last post… Gdańsk and Sopot were lovely to visit and I lucked out on weather as it was very warm, almost as if it was summer. In just 4 days I managed to see a lot of places and even tasted some new food, as there was a food hall near my hotel. I really enjoyed the vacation as it was a break from being stuck on a farm in the countryside, surrounded by crop fields and the forest.
Mentally I’m still struggling somewhat but I managed to find professional help so hopefully it will get better in the following months.

As for BLAEO+, I have something neat coming soon:
cool BLAEO+ update teaser - Steam tags

That’s all for now. Thanks for reading and hope you have a great summer!

Notes

I have been struggling with my mental health for the past few months, mainly due to loneliness and not much stuff happening in my life and had to take 3 weeks of time off my job to recover. I’m starting to feel better somewhat and next week I’m going on the first vacation I have been on in a good few years to do something else for once and take a break from it all.

Also I skipped the April-June PoP cycle to focus on games I got as gifts from Secret Santas from PAGYWOSG, TalePlay and the older BLAEO Secret Santas (thank you all, you’re all the best :D ), since some of them have already been waiting for a very long time… I’ve started GreedFall, Pyre and Vampire Survivors a few days ago already and I plan to do as much as I can until the next PoP cycle.

BLAEO+ is taking the backseat for now unless something breaks, hopefully I can come back to it soon.

That’s all for now. Thanks for reading and have a great Easter!

Notes

And with that, another year of backlog fighting has ended! 35 games were completed/beaten but 85 more have been added… I went too crazy with shopping, especially in December and my awesome Secret Santas from TalePlay and PAGYWOSG contributed to that also xD And I didn’t spend enough time playing since this year I’ve also been tackling my movie, TV show and book backlogs. Add TF2 which kept (and still keeps!) a firm grasp on me and all the work done on BLAEO+ and you can easily see why there wasn’t enough progress this year :P

I’ve also recently upgraded my GPU on my main PC and gave Linux a try now that I have an AMD card. The Deck proved to me that Linux handles gaming really well thanks to Proton but now I want to see how it works when I use it as a daily driver. Other than not being able to change settings of my Logitech mouse, it’s good so far :)

As for BLAEO+, more updates are planned this year - such as a Steam store integration which will show more data from Steam (like review scores, tags, categories like Steam Achievements, Steam Trading Cards, Steam Workshop etc.), a tag list maker which will let you automatically add games to lists by Steam tags (PAGYWOSG members will like this one!), a way to bulk delete remove games and I will also look into a SteamHunters integration which will let you see median completion times for games as well as use that stat for making lists instead of using HLTB times.

That’s all for now. Here’s to 2024!

I released a new BLAEO+ update in September that adds ProtonDB and Steam Deck Verified integrations, as well as blacklist and auto list sorting features. I’m currently working on a way to automatically categorize games by their HLTB times, something PoP members will really appreciate ;) sadly i was a little too late for this cycle but it will be ready before the next!
After that, I think that will be it for BLAEO+ updates since I’m out of ideas, save for some bugfixes or improvements for existing features. That being said, if you have any feedback or suggestions, I’ll appreciate it if you post it in the BLAEO+ thread on the Steam group.

Lots of started new games, but not lots of finished games this month. Other than that, a lot of time went into playing TF2’s Operation Voltaic Violence community event, and I also did some work on the ProtonDB integration for BLAEO+ - hopefully I can release an update with it this month.

Notes

Last 2 months weren’t that productive in terms of my backlog progress, as most of the time went either into playing TF2 or making BLAEO+. Fortunately I’ll have more days off work this month so hopefully I can go back to business as usual.

BLAEO+

Earlier this month I released BLAEO+, a userscript for BLAEO that adds some new features and QoL improvements to the site, including How Long to Beat integration, filtering games by tags or modes (SP, MP, CO-OP), saving/loading post drafts, previewing comments before adding them, QoL improvements for mobile, etc. I’ll be slowly adding new features to it over the next few months, like ProtonDB integration, Steam Deck Verified icons, adding games to tags automatically by playtime or other criteria, etc.
I’d love to hear what you think about it, and if there are any other useful features you’d like to see added.

Made some pretty decent progress this month.

I’ve also been working on a little interesting project I’m hoping to reveal sometime this month :)

★★★★★★
Played on Steam

A prequel to Gothic 1 made as a total conversion mod for Gothic 2. Calling it a mod doesn’t do it justice because it straight up looks like a full game expansion or hell, even an entire new game, all made with love, care and passion to be as much of a true Gothic experience as possible, from the prologue on the ship all the way to the ending.

The world feels alive as pretty much everything was placed by hand with purpose encouraging exploration, quests can be completed in many ways and which way to complete them does matter and major changes occur as you go between chapters. There is enough content for multiple playthroughs where you can take different choices, side with different factions or go for a different playstyle.

As for gameplay though, TCoM makes a lot of improvements over Gothic 2. You no longer have to save items that permanently increase your stats for the endgame to get most benefit, you no longer need to unequip stat increasing items to spend less LP on increasing stats, there is better fast travel, you can make food/potions in bulk and so on… Some things just can’t be changed though. Combat didn’t change much from Gothic 2 and the control scheme is still just as cumbersome (but it can work well on a controller if you install a mod for it). Difficulty-wise it seems a bit easier than the Gothic games, however you are still going to get your ass kicked if you’re not careful.

Also I’m really surprised how this game is fully dubbed (only in Polish though, but still), even more so the dub is actually decent, however there are a few situations where the characters’ speech doesn’t fit the situation at hand. The soundtrack is really good as well, some songs are remixes of music from Gothic games and some songs are entirely new.

Unfortunately though this still runs on the janky, ages-old Gothic 2 engine so getting it to run well on modern PCs can be a real pain sometimes, and you may need to do some extra modding for a better experience. For my playthrough I installed the D3D11 renderer as well as Union and a few Union plugins, including zGamePad for controller support, zBugFixes for engine fixes, zMarkItems to mark new inventory items and zNoFriendlyFire to avoid accidentally attacking friendly NPCs. With that setup I could play with very few issues and and 3 crashes.

And if that weren’t enough, the devs are still not done with the game, as they are working on a 2.0 update with new content and improvements as well as hardcore difficulty.

I really love this game, maybe even more than Gothic itself. I even went and donated to them because I just want them to keep up the good work and I’d love to see any future projects if they do end up making any. If you liked Gothic then this is a must-play, but if you didn’t but like similar hardcore RPGs then you’re gonna have a great time with this game. Heavily recommended.

Notes

Time to get back in habit of regular BLAEO posts. I’ve started this year by joining Play or Pay and completing a few of assigned games, and spending a lot of time playing Pre-Fortress 2 (14h according to in-game stats). Feels like I’ve discovered TF2 anew and it’s so much fun… which isn’t good if I really wanna focus on my backlog lol

That’s all for now. Thanks for checking out my post!

Notes

There goes an another year of backlog fighting. This year saw me mostly playing (and trying, but never finishing) a lot of Game Pass games, finishing my 3DS backlog (by cutting it short - I’ve lost interest in a lot of its games) and starting a new era of backlog fighting as the Steam Deck is now here to help me. Since my Game Pass subscription is ending and I’ve played everything of interest on the 3DS, I am going back to my Steam backlog full-time for this year, and I joined Play or Pay to have an extra incentive to keep playing. I also want to go back to regular monthly progress reports, as I didn’t write a single report in 2022 aside for this one.

That’s all for now. Thanks for reading and have a happy new year!

GAME
PASS Played on XGP

An adventure game with emphasis on narrative. It is based on a Skyrim mod of the same name and inherits some of Skyrim’s features and quirks, but is now a complete, standalone game with its own assets and also additional content, improvements and polish. I’ve never played the original mod version, but I did hear that it got a lot of praise.

+++ Excellent writing and story with many twists and fleshed-out characters.
++ Well-designed puzzles. I had no problem solving them on my own by staying patient and exploring as much as possible, and the in-game task-list prevents you from being lost as you’ll always know what still needs to be solved and done.
++ Impressive voice-acting. How’d they manage to find such great voice actors??
+ Respects your time when it comes to chores. Once you figure out certain tasks, you won’t have to do them again and again on each loop as the game will give you a way to skip them.
+ Good visuals (that can be captured with the game’s own photo mode)
● The combat feels tacked on, and the ability to kick enemies away makes it trivial, but it’s serviceable. I’m guessing they kept it from the Skyrim mod. Fortunately, the combat is used in only one segment (which is optional at that, if I recall correctly?).
- The game crashed or freezed a few times on me when loading saves.
- It doesn’t seem well-optimized. On a GTX 1660 Super with max settings 1080p/60fps, the game would nearly max out my GPU, regardless of whether I’m walking around the city or talking to someone without much happening in background.
- Some characters clip through their own clothing.

This is a fantastic game - I heavily recommend it if you like unraveling mysteries or just like history or philosophy. I would also recommend going in blind. I’m excited to see what Modern Storyteller does next as this is a great game to debut with.

  • I started playing A Way Out with my friend a couple days ago and so far we’re having a blast! I’m also surprised at how well the game works with poor network quality - the weak connection icon shows at all times but we haven’t experienced any lag yet.
  • I didn’t play Bug Fables for long, but my first impressions are very good so far, and it feels like a proper successor to the first 2 Paper Mario games.
  • Still going through Dicey Dungeons. Managed to complete first 3 episodes with each character so far.
  • I received SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom as a Stealthy Santa gift from Cece09 (thanks again :D). I used to watch the show back in the day so it was nice to return to it by playing this game. I’ve never played the original so I don’t know how the remaster compares to it, but the visuals look nice and the gameplay seems good (though I wish you could move a bit faster). What I didn’t like is that some voice lines get repeated A LOT so it gets annoying after a while. Still, I’m looking forward to seeing more of this game.

Notes

Another year of backlog fighting completed. This year my Steam backlog didn’t get as much progress as before, mainly because I spent a lot of time playing games from Xbox Game Pass and also on the 3DS, but at least my wishlist grew smaller thanks to it. This will continue for this year as my XGP sub ends mid-January 2023 and I want to play all of the games I’m interested in before my sub ends or they get removed from XGP entirely (currently there are ~30 games left, but that number will most likely increase as new games are added to XGP each month). I will also try to complete the 3DS backlog this year (10 games left currently) so I can pass the console to its next owner and make room for the Steam Deck (assuming I can get it this year… but I’m not 100% sure of it). I’ll also continue limiting my game purchases to a minimum because of Game Pass.

That’s all for now. Thanks for reading and have a great year! :D
