This is heavy.

I always assumed the Stardew starfruit was a special fruit that just happens to share a name with our starfruit.
- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 2 days ago:
I would love to experience X-COM UFO Defense, but the only X-COMs I’ve played to any extent are the two “modern” Firaxis games. Going back to the originals is a real effort, especially without having the manual to hand.
- Comment on What is everyone's favoured domain name provider these days? 1 week ago:
It’s definitely a thing, but not for all domain types. Not sure why.

- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb. 2 weeks ago:
Think the oldest game I own that I haven’t yet played is Tomb Raider. Got it with my original PlayStation.

Without a banana for scale, it’s hard to tell.
- Comment on The most influential video game of all time - BAFTA 2 weeks ago:
If you want to get technical, the first was arguably 3D Monster Maze, released in 1981. There was also Battlezone, again 1981 - though it’s debatable whether it counts as an FPS.
A more accurate answer would be id’s own Catacomb 3D, from 1991.
Wolf 3D definitely wasn’t the first by any stretch

Like $200 worth of honey?
- Comment on Why can't we go back to small phones? 3 weeks ago:
Great, but small Android phones are still few and far between. The Jelly Star is a notable exception, but those devices don’t seem to get much in the way of long-term support

DAYTONAAAAAA… Let’s go away!

MPP is glorious
- Comment on Favourite Metroid game? 4 weeks ago:
Gonna be controversial and say Metroid Prime Hunters… mainly because that’s the one I’ve spent the most time with.
Zero Mission takes a close second, though.
- Comment on What is a season pass in computer games? 5 weeks ago:
Depends on the game, though I’d more describe that as a battle pass than a season pass.
- Comment on The IT Crowd: Jen has been transported 5 weeks ago:
Yes. They do occasionally transliterate, and I think it’d be nice if they’d done so across the board.
- Comment on The IT Crowd: Jen has been transported 5 weeks ago:
Tangentially related: there are a lot of moments in Firefly where the characters speak Chinese. Instead of captioning it properly, they just write “[speaks Chinese]”.
Which is especially jarring when you have a whole [speaks Chinese] sentence with a [speaks Chinese] phrase in the middle.

I had Spotify on shuffle once, and it played the same song twice in a row. On two separate occasions.
- Comment on Day 208 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 1 month ago:
When I did a legendary Combat Evolved solo run, there were one or two speedrunning strats I borrowed. Probably could do the same for H2 - one of the later levels, you can skip entirely if you do it right.

Halo 3 is a lot of fun, and it’s got some brilliant setpieces, but in terms of plot it’s always felt a bit of a rush job.
Even so, I love it to bits and it occupied many memorable evenings between 2008-2010. Definitely a much easier Legendary experience than Halo 2.

Or maybe they wrote ‘darn’ but with dodgy keming?

As a lifelong TS2 fan, even I would be hard pressed to pay what they’re charging.
- Comment on Are mods usually confusing as hell or am I just an idiot? 1 month ago:
This just reminds me of the mod situation for early versions of Minecraft. These day’s it’s as simple as pressing a button and dropping your mods into a folder, but back then it was a case of directly modifying the main Java file, removing specific bits, adding specific bits in specific places… not smooth at all

The weight of having to pick the P50 up when it inevitably capsizes?
