I see Digital Foundry and some others constantly claim that motion blur is to prevent you from getting a migraine by simulating how your eyes perceive motion. Seeing as motion blur is literally the first setting I turn off if I want to squeeze a few extra frames out, the thing I notice is that you don't need to simulate it. Your eyes blur motion already.

Besides, if your motion sickness is triggered by games, I doubt that making things blurry will help much.

Steam Sale: Sure, I can use Space Marine, Tron 2.0, Fallout 4 and Poker Night on the cheap.

Plus, there's that Humongous pack with, like, everything they ever did crammed in for the price of a single new game.  Got nearly 40 games in, if you're into the kind of stuff Humongous did.

Steam sale seems kinda "meh" to me this year.  Mostly because of the huge push on VR games.

Ironbite-I picked up Farcry 4 for now though.

State of Decay.  Basically GTA with Zombies.  A lot of fun and only $5 on XBox Live until Monday.
Whenever I hear a politician speaking strongly for or against abortion, all I hear is, "I have no idea how to fix the economy!"

Once again, Minecraft has pulled me back in. Now, I've got the beginnings of a (very very poorly designed, no doubt) AE2 system up and running.

Cosmoteer is available for free. The game isn't finished yet but it seems like a fun little 2D spaceship design/combat game.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Darksouls: Breath of the Wild has been pretty fun if a bit brutal for me.  Died a few times but hey, brick walls don't go down easily.

Ironbite-GOD IT'S SO MUCH FUN!

Getting back into Crusader Kings 2. I can sum up my current playthrough with just two words. Hail Satan.

Harmonix put In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida in Rock Band.

My response: Wait a minute. This sounds like rock and/or roll.

Ok, so I'm watching a Horizon Zero walkthrough and... I think I've figured out a plot twist in advance.

Guild Wars 2, I love ya, but why are so many of your armour sets asymmetrical?!  It drives me fucking insane!  I'll see a set on the wiki, and be like "oh, that looks nice," then I notice the asymmetry and want to claw my eyes out because that shit kills me.  The rest is either boring, bottom-tier crap or shows way too much skin for me to like it.  Like the Sneakthief set...just, I'm sorry, but a thief (be they male or female) does not bare their fucking midriff.  What's the point of covering almost everything else if, when you're sneaking about, you blind everyone with your glowing cracker ass?

I will give it one thing, its armour sets are at least somewhat more sensible than its predecessor.
