Bam. Spot on. That makes for great storytelling. There’s even a sanity mechanic.

This makes all the difference between a good Call of Cthulhu DM and a bad one.
- Comment on Steam Deck and SteamOS hit 20,000 playable games 4 days ago:
But that’s just it. That fiddling isn’t something the dev probably accounted for, so it should be noted that the experience will be less than optimal. I think it still fits.
- Comment on Why do people like Mario Kart? 5 days ago:
I’ve been playing racing games ever since I was a kid but was never into Nintendo. I played everything from Crash Team Racing to Assetto Corsa and everything in between, but never own a Mario Kart game.
Just in the last year my roommate picked up a Wii U and I played through 8. It doesn’t necessarily do anything that other racing games haven’t individually done better and there’s nothing truly unique.
That being said, the one thing it does better than anyone else is precision and feedback. It is exceptionally tight and responsive compared to others like it. It’s also just incredibly well animated and visually consistent. The game still looks good a decade later, no issues.
I would akin a lot of what Nintendo does to Apple. Not necessarily the first, or the most powerful, but almost always the most polished.

Some part of me hopes that the current shit show eventually reaches some sort of conclusion and all of the people that actually have real-world skill sets will get to go back to what they know how to do because the business that ran on capital will have collapsed. I know it’s an unrealistic hope. But it’s a hope nonetheless.

- Comment on Why do so many people delete their posts? 1 week ago:
Half the time, it’s because I don’t read the original comment closely enough and realize that my point no longer makes sense, but I usually only do this if it’s less than a minute or two after posting.

6 years of tech support and I dread email troubleshooting because I know it will take two weeks and 13 exchanges before we can actually start troubleshooting.
- Comment on Discord's CTO is just as worried about enshittification as you are 1 week ago:
You’re telling me that you don’t want UI elements randomly being moved around and redesigned as well as having more and more features that no one uses piled on until you can barely see the chat you were originally trying to have? Kids these days…
- Comment on Oh, it turns out Cyberpunk 2077 is getting one more update after all, and it's not too far away 1 week ago:
Compared to launch, it just has a lot more flow. They filled out a lot of the gaps. The original version had the Ubisoft problem of: pick destination, go to thing, complete mission, repeat. Now, in a good way, there are constant interruptions. It feels like a hectic future where you never get a moments peace with people often offering you new and interesting jobs.
I also took a lot more time to read all of the little logs I picked up. Again just helped with immersion a ton. If you give yourself the chance to try and make V yours, it has some unique opportunities to shine.
Last thing I’ll mention is Cyberware/Perks. The whole system was rebuilt and feels like you have a lot more direction for ideas. The bonuses feel specific enough not to be overpowered, but designed enough that you notice the difference.
Overall, it just made it easier to roleplay and imagine yourself in the world of Night City.
^also not having crashes every 30-40 minutes helped^

My second time through was so much better than the first. Half the reason I bought it on release was for that reason. I wanted to see if it would glow-up and it totally did. My first time through felt like a typical FPS, but second time, I was a Deadeye hacker and just went crazy on perks. So many more options for approach now.

I JUST replayed through this for the sole purpose of playing it in its final state. I hadn’t played since release. I swear if they add anything even slightly cool, I’m going to be pissed and have to play it all again lol.

I mean, if you just wanna get the job done. I prefer at least a hint of finesse. Not trying to make extra work for the janitor.
- Comment on Does anyone use a phone without a protective case? 2 weeks ago:
I was surprised by the name. They used to make really interesting hardware back in the early 2010s. Seems they’ve faded into a rebranded phone company. A bit sad, actually.
- Comment on Does anyone use a phone without a protective case? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve not used a case in years. I drop it regularly when I’m at home on the carpet, but outside of that, it might get dropped from hip height once a year. I’ve only ended up with a hairline crack on a single phone in 15 years of owning them.

Mirror’s Edge was if both of these movies merged into one and made something actually good.
I jest, but I’ve seen both and while they’re gorgeous, I basically ended up ignoring plot.
- Comment on The Faculty, any day 2 weeks ago:
I own this one! An homage to the no reason.
- Comment on SteamOS massively beats Windows on the Legion Go S 2 weeks ago:
I fixed it. It was 15 million. But I think that point still stands. The Deck has been out for a few years now.

I wonder how many collective watt hours this inefficiency adds up to over time in comparison to one that was well-optimized
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says 2 weeks ago:
I can see this perspective, for sure. I definitely didn’t click with this game quite as much with the first go through, but it was the second time where I wanted to build something specific and get into the world more that I had a lot more fun.
You definitely have to suspend your disbelief with the “ticking time bomb” and I wish the story canonically allowed for exploration after the ending, but I also see how that wouldn’t work that well with some of the endings.
I think they ultimately had to choose their battles and I’m hoping for a bit less of that in the sequel if anything.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says 2 weeks ago:
Just another 8-10 years before we get to play it guys!
Seriously, though. I don’t know how you one-up the first game. I’ve been replaying it and I’m just constantly in awe at the number of hidden little gems to go explore.
I just found out the text messages you get from Club Riot are for actual events in world and not just flavor text. I haven’t dug into it, but it almost sounded like they had multiple sets of music for the different artists. Just so many little details.

My current build is all crit + pistol focused. I can take down any of the standard guys, including Dogtown militia in two rounds haha.
- Comment on SteamOS massively beats Windows on the Legion Go S 2 weeks ago:
I agree with everything you said, but I still don’t think that will change the decision of someone on the fence. The Deck is the odd one out.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the Deck and SteamOS and want it to succeed, and expect them to to a certain degree, but I just know the average consumer and they’ll just look at the SteamOS handhelds as a weird knockoff gaming computer.
We all know how special it is because we were the target market. But when all is said and done, it comes down to what people know.
If Valve was advertising like the big guys do, maybe, but with no ad support, not a chance.
- Comment on Stats boost 2 weeks ago:
Cyberpunk was the first game where I started building with odd boosts like this in mind. I’ve started to learn that a lot of those are really useful only if you already have something specific in mind. Most of the time, they don’t trigger.
- Comment on SteamOS massively beats Windows on the Legion Go S 2 weeks ago:
I hate to say it, but if MS released a competitor, it will probably outsell the Deck 5:1 regardless of quality, if only because of the advertising reach. Your average non-gamer has never heard of Steam. Everyone and their grandmother know MS and would therefore be more willing to get one for their kid.
