Calling 3 a soulslike is kinda stretching it, I think. I would say rather that 3 does exploration and upgrades similarly to 1 but has combat that’s more similar to 2. I do think they’re definitely worth getting though.

Damn, really? That sucks, thanks for the heads up.
- Comment on Darksiders 4 | Announcement Teaser 1 week ago:
2&3 are both “here’s what the others were doing while War was chained up for a hundred years”. Their stories are set in motion because of the premature apocalypse, and will probably have implications for humanity further in the future, but there’s no impact on War directly, aside from 3 implying >!how Strife lost his guns for you to get them in the first two games!<, and I don’t expect any plot points from 2&3 to come back up during 4.
As for Genesis, the main thing you should keep in mind is that it isn’t a mainline game. It’s more an isometric twin stick shooter/hack’n’slash, and the gameplay isn’t as deep as with the main games. But it’s got co-op, if you have someone to play with, and it does provide some characterization for Strife as well as showing an example of the sorts of missions the Horsemen took for the Charred Council.

I personally enjoyed Genesis, but it wasn’t a solo Strife game. You play as both Strife and War.
- Comment on Darksiders 4 | Announcement Teaser 1 week ago:
I guess breaking the seventh seal also revived Fury’s horse. But also, no solo game for Strife? Sadface.

I’m sorry, but I just don’t jive with the hip lingo that today’s cool cats use.
- Comment on Ninja Gaiden for DOS: rated M for "mistake" 4 weeks ago:
I actually played this long before I ever played actual Ninja Gaiden. At the time, I was just a wee laddie, and I remember enjoying it back then, but I’ve never had the courage to go back and replay it to see if it actually holds up.
- Comment on Hesitating getting a Switch 2 (1st game console in 15 years)... 1 month ago:
#3 is entirely why I’m skipping the Switch 2, when I’ve previously had every Nintendo console since the SNES.
- Comment on Day 344 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 month ago:
Back in Control, all the stoplight did was teleport you back to the entrance if you moved on red. That’s way too easy for co-op though, so I’m sure Remedy changed it.

Does your car have an aux port? If so, get a 3mm male-to-male audio cable and plug one end in the iPod and the other in the aux port.

Wouldn’t that just be the SNES controller that Switch Online subscribers can buy?

- Comment on Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you' 9 months ago:
That’s a failure to download the installers to begin with, not them being taken away from you after the fact.

Just throw the PokéRap on repeat again. It’ll come back to you in no time.
- Comment on The problem with sleeper ships 1 year ago:
It really isn’t. When you know where they started from, and what direction they were supposed to be heading in, then even without knowing how fast they’re supposed to be going, it’s literally as simple as dropping out of FTL at regular intervals behind the sleeper ship and pointing a telescope in the general direction you’re going until you hit the sleeper ship’s light cone. What other posters have suggested about potential technical limitations relating the nature of the FTL drive and/or logistical problems with actually doing a pick up make sense as blocking issues, but finding them to begin with is a solved problem. Like, this is basically “where are Voyager 1 & 2 right now”, and we actually know exactly where they are right now because we’re still picking up their radio signals, powered by a 249W generator (less power than used by a typical modern PC!), from over 136 AU out, and a sleeper ship is going to be way more visible than that.
- Comment on The problem with sleeper ships 1 year ago:
A sleeper ship isn’t going to be doing any maneuvers other than constantly accelerating before the halfway point and then constantly decelerating after the halfway point. Predicting the position of the ship at any given moment based on that is a textbook physics 101 problem that students are expected to be able to solve by hand. If you’ve got FTL cracked then you’ve got the computational power to account for any real world variables that would throw off such a prediction.
- Comment on The problem with sleeper ships 1 year ago:
If you have working FTL now, though, and can get there faster why not also intercept the sleeper ships and bring them with you?

No, see. Tooth decay, like carnivorousness, only began after Adam and Eve got expelled from Eden. Prior to that, everything existed in harmony sustained on thoughts and prayers.
- Comment on Twitter 1 year ago:
Different kid, actually. IIRC he’s got a bunch of IVF kids with different women because apartheid emerald money is sexy or something, but he couldn’t be bothered to actually fuck them properly. Also couldn’t be bothered to be present in their lives as a dad properly either.
- Comment on Good game soundtracks? 1 year ago:
Can’t go wrong with pretty much any pre-Skyward Sword Zelda. SS itself also has Ballad of the Goddess, which was good, but I can’t remember any other tunes from it or BOTW that aren’t just reprises of tracks from previous games.

That’s so laughably easy to spin it’s not a distinction worth even noting. “Oh so-and-so is a clear and present danger to the country, so in my official capacity as protector of the Constitution of the United States I have ordered his termination”. Bam, it’s now an official act.

- Comment on Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Announcement Trailer 1 year ago:
Yeah, Switch pointer controls were pretty YMMV, simply because the joycons themselves aren’t nearly as reliable in that regard as the Wiimotes were.

Seriously though, best of luck to Daisy Ridley, I guess, but I’ll believe it when the torrents start showing up.
