  Honestly I just watch streamers like Cohhcarnage or Lirik as they pretty much only play new and indie games and they tend to give honest opinions on what they play. Literally just bought an indie game today after watching Lirik play it.

  oh it was great. I used to try and get in the magazine by drawing on the envelopes and mailing them in. EGM and I think GamePro used to have artwork that people mailed in.

  Also prior to the Internet this was THE way to get cheats for games. every time a new issue came out I always checked the back to see if there were cheats for a game I just got.

  had a subscription to GI years and years ago. it came with the Gamestop membership thing.

  I miss old gaming mags like this, EGM, GamePro, etc. man EGM used to be THICK, it was like buying a catalog every month.

  Braid is like Myst. Everyone and their grandma either bought it, got it as a gift, got it in a bundle, or just pirated it way back in the day. I mean I friggin have it in my steam library and I don’t know how I got it.

  So it doesn’t surprise me that no one bought this remaster or whatever.

  well to be fair it’s right up Michael Bay’s ally. The plot of Skibidi Toilet is essentially Toilets vs Cameras kill each other, one side wins, thumbs up to viewer. Other side gets something bigger, wins, thumbs up. other side gets something even bigger, wins, thumbs up. and so on and so on and so on.

  he didn’t pay for the bread bites though. OP says he’d use 20 points every time to get free bread bites. So he would pay the for the pizza but not the bread bites. he ordered both at the same time. He would get 60 points automatically because he ensured the delivery would be slow on purpose.

  So if he was doing that every order, he’s making a point profit of 40 per order. Eventually he would have enough points built up to not even pay for the pizza AND bites.

  use Mastodon. Most of the people I followed on Twitter migrated over to there anyways.

  Youtubes algo, especially with shorts, is unforgiving. Even if you mistakenly click on a video or leave a short on then they assume “oh, you want more of this!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays Persona⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  meanwhile in Personna 3:

  “honey what are you playing?”

  “oh just a game where I play as some high school kids that shoot themselves in the head in order to unlock their powers”

  Looks like something the Deacons of the Deep would be protecting right next to the massive empty tomb.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get sorted...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to live in the Southwest US like 20+ years ago and went to high school there. ICP was huge at my school but once people graduated they stopped listening to them for whatever reason.

  for where I lived It’d be join the Navy, work at grocery store, work at a call center, or live in a trailer park and die.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda Is Charging $7 For A New Starfield Mission, And Players Are Upset⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I swear gamers have the memory of a gnat. How many times has Bethesda pulled shit like this and people continue to support them? no one remembers the Horse armor all the way back in Oblivion? no one remembers the Skyrim paid mods in 2015? hell can’t even remember the SKYRIM PAID MODS IN DEC OF 2023!

  This isn’t an outrage and no one should be upset AT Bethesda over this, but disappointed and upset with yourselves for yet again falling for their constant desire to nickel and dime their playerbase.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does it feel like too much effort just to go from sitting around looking at garbage online to simply watching a film or playing a video game?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Think you hit the nail on the head with the dopamine hit thing. Online media today is essentially built around that and rewards it. Look at Youtube shorts or tiktok. I can spend hours just scrolling through youtube shorts because it’s quick and random dopamine hits. no long content, something different on each scroll, move on to the next. even sites like this contribute to it. each post is something different and also a quick vomit of information.

  dedicate oneself to hours of the same consistent media like a tv show or movie or even a videogame I can see as being difficult for people who are now conditioned to quick 10sec hits of info.
