- Comment on A Game Pass for indie games: meet Indie Pass, a $6.99-a-month subscription launching with 70 titles 1 week ago:
I wanted to keep an open mind but two things turn me off immediately:
- The selection doesn’t seem that good and I think you’d be better off just buying the games you’re interested in (I have only heard of one game in the entire collection)
- The site seems AI generated. It has that default AI color scheme, the categories don’t seem to contain the right games (why is blue maiden „A slow-burning, psychological horror walking sim“ in cozy?), and the action category is listed twice.
The site just doesn’t seem trustworthy .

What does the amount of episodes per season have to do with anything? The creator knows how many episodes they’ll have to deliver and that they need to make it compelling enough to get the S2 renewal. It doesn’t matter if you have 8 or 28 episodes to do that.
Additionally, the UK has been able to make very memorable TV shows for decades and they get 6 episodes total.And what type of excuse is “TNG was legit pretty wonky for the first 20-30 episodes”?? So because that show took a while to get its footing 89 years ago, shows today are also allowed to take a couple years before getting good? Are we just not supposed to expect improvements?
I wholeheartedly agree with the statement “if it takes two whole seasons for a show to “just get good” it was a shit show.”. We should have higher expectations.

True and it’s a vicious cycle. 2 albums, 1 game, soundtracks for a handful of games, and a bunch of videos, all of which struggle to crack the 2 digits, making stuff is very demoralizing for me so I don’t make as much stuff as I’d like etc etc

Oh RoR is in no way open world slop. Ubishit execs wish they could make this good of a game (side tangent: I fully believe Ubisoft has the talent to pull this off easily, but the C suite is allergic to good games).
This game has unexpectedly become my “boot up and chill” game for now, and it’s kinda limiting how fast I churn thru my backlog. But I enjoy the fact that it’s a lot lower stakes than Nioh or Dark Souls; with those type of games I have huge startup inertia due to the difficulty.
I’ve also bought wolong and wuchang together with RoR and I am not getting around to playing them hehe.Oh and if it’s not too late here’s a hint: don’t spend so much time in the character creator for the blade twin you don’t choose as your main one *wink wink

The combat isn’t bad, and the animations are really good (especially getting body slammed by a 600 kg sumo wrestler) but to me it just boils down to parrying until an attack window opens.
I know you have quite a few options with status effects and being able to use two weapons in tandem, but I rarely use those features. Regular enemies die too fast to be worth applying poison and bigger ones take so many hits they don’t get poisoned at all.
And why should I switch weapons if my main weapon deals double the damage of my next best weapon.So at least for me combat is just rhythmic parrying and attacking. Again not bad but I’ve been able to use the same technique in combat for the 10 hours I’ve played so far and nothing has really forced me to adapt to a different playstyle.
Yeah I play on PC and it runs fine for me maxed out with RT but I have a beefy PC.
It’s a really weird mixture of a lot of games so I can kinda understand why people aren’t into it. I’d say the biggest influence on this game is actually Assassin’s Creed. At least in the way the cities and the world is built. And there are NPCs everywhere, which goes a long way into making this game feel alive.
When you’re out in the open riding a long distance to your next objective you’ll see people walking around, maybe a wandering merchant, a cat or a dog to pet, or something else. This makes the riding feel way better than in Elden Ring even tho mechanically they’re practically identical. But in Elden Ring most of your encounters are gonna be combat based or static NPCs. And I really love that vibe in Rōnin.
Also the Yokohama pleasure district is 10/10 gorgeous.

Currently into Rise Of The Rōnin and omg it’s soo good. The whole atmosphere is so enjoyable to just be in. The combat isn’t anything to write home about but as a whole package it’s better than the sum of its parts. I will never not feel like a badass seamlessly transitioning from flying to horseback riding.

Yeah I’m a hard ground starer too. But def scanning periphery when not looking down. Especially at night when it’s most dangerous but I’ve always avoided going outside at night as much as possible.
- Comment on EA invents new microtransaction nightmare as it breaks paywall promise on Skate: rent a playable area for 24 hours or buy a premium pass, bucko 1 month ago:
- They said they were never gonna paywall parts of the map. 2. It’s not DLC. It’s a 24 hour lease. 3. The game is early access and all early access games paywalling features get slammed. Most do it thru DLC but I guess EA found a way to make more money than selling a one time purchase.

- Comment on The Highguard Website Is Down As Players Brace For The Worst 1 month ago:
Some games need TPM2 and secure boot to ensure you don’t load cheats at boot time. It’s very invasive and doesn’t even protect games for more than a few days (Battlefield 6 cheats bypassed it during the beta phase)
- Comment on Password managers less secure than promised 1 month ago:
Cloud based password managers are a scam imo. They get total control of your data AND dictate how you can access it (paywalls, ads etc) meanwhile you get dick. On top of that the headline kinda made it sound like real password managers (like keepass) could have been compromised too.
Doesn’t surprise me that cloud based ones are vulnerable. And when they get breached they just write a oopsie apology letter and continue going about their business.
- Comment on Death Stranding 2: On the Beach - PC Announce Trailer (March 19) 1 month ago:
Was really doubly excited to see it’s coming and coming soon. But nope, I won’t ever buy $80 games. With Nioh 3 I can somewhat understand it since it’s new, but this isn’t even a new game they just squeezing us.
I’m really pissed because the amount of $80 games is rising way too rapidly for my liking. - Comment on now aren't you glad we bought all that RAM? 1 month ago:

For League of Legends the definitive way to play is to not start. I swear I do not know of any other game that has such addictive properties while being so absolutely fucking awful. You don’t stop playing this game, You take extended breaks.
