They look cool. That’s really it for me.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says 4 days ago:
Well, not being a broken mess without all of the promised features would be a good start towards one-upping it.
- Comment on I hope i don't get downvoted for this 4 days ago:
It raises or prompts that question.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 5 days ago:
None. There’s no such thing as an objective master piece. Games are art which is, by definition, subjective.
- Comment on Do you think a story that mixes magic with super advanced technology can work? 1 week ago:
Tbf, in Dune all the “magic-y” bits get “scientific” explanations. I suppose you could argue the same with Star Wars and midichlorians.
- Comment on Anon is in the folder now. 1 week ago:
Must be planning to stop with double digits. I can’t respect someone who doesn’t commit to leading zeroes.
- Comment on $80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen" 1 week ago:
I wouldn’t advise using those services, myself. Lots of sketchy stuff. Legit copies of digital games go on sale often enough.

Could be auto complete from the phone’s keyboard, but also we do not have enough information in this screenshot to assert they know the difference. They only use one.

Stealing this for when I get around to playing Triangle Agency.

I understood what it was saying. I don’t think it’s a bad headline.

Inscryption, Midnight Suns, Dungeon Drafters come to mind.
- Comment on Netflix’s ad tier is growing really fast — and that means more ads 2 weeks ago:
Netflix has ads, that’s what this is about.

I’m so tired of deckbuilder roguelikes.
- Comment on Ori studio in crisis: No Rest For The Wicked could be their final game 2 weeks ago:
As I said, I do plan to play it! I might be metroidvania’d out at the moment, my partner and I have played a crap ton of Blasphemous 1 & 2 over the past few months.
- Comment on Ori studio in crisis: No Rest For The Wicked could be their final game 3 weeks ago:
I think there’s a lot more that goes intuitive a games success or failure than just reviews. I’m not entirely convinced that a wave of good reviews would financially save their studio. I also find it funny that he acknowledges that he doesn’t write reviews for things.
For my case, it’s been on my wish list for a while. I enjoyed Ori, but didn’t love it, and plan on getting around to the second Ori game eventually. But I have a zillion games to play, and right now they’re not that high on my list. But my moods change, and next month I may well be in the mood for something like No Rest for the Wicked, see it on my wish list, and finally pick it up.
But quite frankly, no review is going to sway me. I’ve enjoyed Mixed review games, I’ve loved Mostly Negative games, and I’ve disliked Overwhelmingly Positive games. Fact of the matter is I’m much more likely to look at actual gameplay videos and make a decision rather than read a written review.
But, that’s just my anecdotal experience. I personally find it hard to believe the reviews play that big of a role here. I think that success or failure comes down to a hundred different factors, and the unfortunate reality is that some really awesome gems aren’t successful for no real fair reasons, sometimes.
- Comment on Even Starfield's community patch modders are growing 'disenchanted' with the sci-fi RPG, as volunteers depart in droves: 'If nobody comes forward, we may have to retire the project' 3 weeks ago:
The thing for me is that it’s a game about a guild of explorers, and the game is all fast travel. The bits you do “explore” were soulless.

To those who care:
AI generated voices are used for some player units from the barracks.

Huh, I didn’t realize it was made by Nexon.

That takes me to a login page, fyi.
- Comment on Stardew Valley creator says he might make Stardew Valley 2 3 weeks ago:
You’re so far off base it’s hilarious. A Stardew Valley 2 would be hype as hell.
- Comment on Stardew Valley creator says he might make Stardew Valley 2 3 weeks ago:
In case you’re not aware, there are ways to increase your speed within the game which feel like earned progress.
- Comment on Thankfully I deleted my account 3 weeks ago:
I’m very thankful for that! 2008 me was pretty insufferable.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 3 weeks ago:
I’ve never regretted a GTA purchase (admittedly I didn’t get the remasters so that might be why…) so I’m cautiously looking forward to this one. Started up 5 again recently with the Enhanced version dropping on PC and man its still stupid fun.

- Comment on To whom it may concern 5 weeks ago:
I’m sorry that it came off as condescending. Truly, that was not the intent. Tone is difficult over text, but I was more going for an incredulous sarcasm that beckoned critical thinking.

No, stopping all USPS deliveries is not an option. They can usually hold mail for up to 30 days if you apply for it, but I think this even varies by local office.
You can, however, refuse some mail. This is a manual process. You can also apply to be removed from mailing lists, which is almost certainly what the other poster did.
- Comment on To whom it may concern 5 weeks ago:
For putting some crap in a box, taping on a flyer, and then lying on the internet?
You don’t actually think this happened, do you? Why would the post office ship a heavy package for free just because a no postage needed flyer is stuck to it?
- Comment on Day 283 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing 5 weeks ago:
Loved Max Payne 3. As someone who also enjoyed the first two, I always felt 3 was underrated. Honestly think it holds up, too.
- Comment on Please suggest good progression based multiplayer games 5 weeks ago:
Aaah, got ya, sorry about that I misunderstood you.
- Comment on Please suggest good progression based multiplayer games 5 weeks ago:
If I was looking to describe a kind of game, I would not use “progression based” to describe a game where you start from zero every time. I’m well aware that many rogue likes have permanent unlocks which facilitate progression, but then I’m back to my original point in that is not a very helpful descriptor because almost every game is progression based in that sense.
