- Comment on Day 101 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 3 weeks ago:
I immediately thought it was that scene when I saw the screenshot, such a bittersweet moment.
- Comment on Flappy Bird Returns but now with microtransactions 2 months ago:
Unfortunately multiple sources seem to agree Dong Nguyen has no involvement, which is consistent with the way he originally shut down Flappy Bird due to people spending too much time on it :(
“The Flappy Bird Foundation said it has acquired the official Flappy Bird trademark from Gametech Holdings LLC, a U.S. company that appears to have wrestled the trademark from Nguyen, as well as the rights for the original game and character from Piou Piou vs. Cactus, the mobile game that supposedly originally inspired the Flappy Bird character.”

And the trademarks were sleazily grabbed from the original creator :/
- Comment on Where In The World Is Static Shock For GBA? 2 months ago:
It’s almost baffling to think we still have mysteries like this so long after the game’s (apparently aborted) release, but it’s really cool to read along with the investigation!

Ah understood!
- Comment on The Humble Games Situation Gets Messier With Claims Of Lies And Damage Control 3 months ago:
I think this news only affects Humble Games but not Humble Bundle, confusingly they are separate but semi-related businesses these days.
- Comment on Me and a friend of mine were having a discussion on the holocaust and got banned for mentioning the N word. This is not the first time in games. How come they censor it? 3 months ago:
It sounds like you’re referring to the National Socialist German Workers’ Party of WWII infamy. People are probably going to assume something else, FYI.
- Comment on Ubisoft’s apology for stolen imagery in Assassin’s Creed Shadows followed by further call for revision of Collector’s Edition artbook 4 months ago:
No, the article plainly states what’s going on.
- Comment on Sony Music Entertainment Japan, Aniplex, and Pocketpair jointly establish Palworld Entertainment 4 months ago:
How many Indies have partnered with Sony Music? Is that common?
- Comment on METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE is now available on GOG 4 months ago:
I suspect you weren’t the only one to be surprised by that!

- Comment on Kingdom Hearts is coming to Steam - June 13 5 months ago:
I think that one would have to come from Bandai.
- Comment on 15 billion score in Pokemon Pinball + Caanoo 8 months ago:
Oh man, you just inspired me to dig through multiple boxes and dust off my Caanoo (and it’s older brother the GP32).
- Comment on 8 Years later my Steam Link is still getting regular updates 10 months ago:
Twitter (sorry, X.com) is also privately held now so it’s not always a happy story :/

Powerful imagery
- Comment on Nominees for Game of The Year at TGA 2023 1 year ago:
I never thought I would see a year where Zenimax managed to crank out both an Arkane and a Bethesda release but still got no real traction.
- Comment on Sony Is Halving The Number Of PlayStation Live-Service Games That It Aims To Launch By March 2026 - GameSpot 1 year ago:
They bought Bungie specifically to help them launch Live Service games, but now Bungie’s own game is cratering. Understandable why they wouldn’t have a ton of confidence launching a bunch of them now, but I can’t really say I’m sad about it.
