I’ve had the soundtrack on loop for weeks. Every piece just feels right for the part of the game and the vocals are just spectacular.

Marty Stratton and his denuvo riddled pos game can kindly get fukt after what he did to Mick Gordon, the composer of the banger soundtrack for Doom 2016.
- Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #16 1 week ago:
Yeah… As much as I love the Doom franchise I cannot in good conscience support anything that Marty Stratton has a hand in. That douchebag screwed over Mick Gordon (the guy that did the banger soundtracks for Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal) big time.
I mean just reading this detailed account of everything that happened makes my bile rise every time.

I mean, Super Mario RPG did it first. But yeah it’s a winning formula :>

Hmmm I should really give heroic launcher a try. Might actually get me to play all those epic freebies that have been sitting in my account :o

Dear God those text parser adventures. I remember playing Hugo’s House of Horrors and trying for the longest time to remove some screws from a grate.
Okay screws np.
UNSCREW SCREWS
I don’t know how to do that.
REMOVE SCREWS
I don’t know how to do that.
Reeeee… Turns out it only responded specifically to UNDO SCREWS

Rian Johnson? The guy that directed The Last Jedi? 🤢
Yeeeah I really can’t take anything he says seriously.

Always a great read! Thank you so much for doing these!!
- Comment on What are you watching and, what do you recommend this week? 4 weeks ago:
You had me until Silo. I couldn’t get past more than a few episodes of that before realizing I was just watching a less energetic and self-aware version of Fallout.
- Comment on I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game 5 weeks ago:
If you like rpgs and management I’d suggest Battle Brothers, a mercenary company management game. You basically travel the countryside fighting brigands and taking jobs from various cities all while building up your company with new recruits and equipment. It’s got a bit of a learning curve but once you get the basics down it’s oddly enthralling.
- Comment on Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason? 5 weeks ago:
Sports is kind of a stretch. Professional wrestling should be classified as entertainment with the soap operas and marvel slop.

Delicious in dungeon was spectacular :o

They may as well call it The Big Gangbang Theory because it portrays nerd/geeks the same way porn portrays sex.

Amazing work as always! Gaming journalism as it should be.
Nintendo really doubling down in the heel turn recently 🤢

I kinda feel the last season of Game of Thrones was so transcendentally bad it tainted my memories of everything good before it. I still can’t bring myself to rewatch the first 5 good seasons :<
- Comment on What TV series suffered by introducing an unnecessary romance between characters? And in the reverse, are there any TV series that suffered by NOT introducing a romance between two characters? 1 month ago:
Wait. Necessary or unnecessary romance? :o

Tbh playing Magic the Gathering or Warhammer 40k with random dudes at a hobby store is cheaper and more fun than most traditional dates I’ve been on.
- Comment on What are some lesser-known obscure TV series that went under the radar, that you would recommend? 1 month ago:
Space above and beyond died too young. It was such an awesome scifi show with some really mind blowing good episodes

Very detailed and informative post as always! This is how video game journalism should be done.
You’ve convinced me to give Death Standing another go. I bounced off of it 30 minutes in after the 20th minute of cut scenes but there seems to be more juice to it further in so I’ll power through another hour or two and see if I can’t find the hooks!
- Comment on You can only imagine what is going on in there 2 months ago:
Probably just a buncha Klingons :>
- Comment on What TV cancellation are you most upset by? 2 months ago:
The fact the story in the latter seasons started angling towards the whole underclass starting a massive uprising probably rustled his oligarch jimmies a bit :>
- Comment on What TV cancellation are you most upset by? 2 months ago:
Big brain move here. They’re going to wait 20 years so the actors age appropriately and they can save a ton on makeup costs before they start filming the next season :>

Love these! Reading the bit about Sierra have me big nostalgia vibes.
Just a FYI, the turds at Longdue making “Hopetown” are suing Argo Tuulik one of the lead writers for the OG Disco Elysium in some lame effort to snuff out any preternatural competition from Argo’s own project.
Luckily the community has really rallied behind him so things are looking up. Still I wouldn’t give Longdue/Riaz Moola/Hopetown (ugh what kind of hack came up with that name?) any more positive press because they ate as hell don’t deserve it :o
