- Comment on CWA ‘Deeply Disappointed’ In Microsoft, Plans To Bargain Over Layoffs 4 days ago:
I’ve never heard of CWA. Would be nice to get them really emailing/connecting the right people.
- Comment on Gaming Cancer: How Citizen Science Games Could Help Cure Disease 4 days ago:
I feel like I read articles like this every few years. And outside of the folding proteins “game”, I rarely see them get mainstream appeal and contribution.
In more positive news, I do see a lot of open-source projects, run by volunteers, get public contributions, which tells me people do want to help.

- Comment on Square Enix acknowledges Expedition 33 success as inspiration for next Final Fantasy as turn-based is still beloved by gamers 2 weeks ago:
Why not both?
I’ve been pretty impressed with the Oblivion Remastered of putting a brand new skin on old tech. I want to play FF8
And honestly, I like FF7 remake. It was a love letter to PS1 fans.
- Comment on Hytale, once touted as the Minecraft killer, is ceasing development 2 weeks ago:
The same issue with all the Stardew Valley killers, even if they try not to.
It’s a super toxic category constantly being compared.
- Comment on Nier creator Yoko Taro reveals the sad reality of modern AAA game development, “there’s less weird people making games” 3 weeks ago:
This might come off as being a old gamer, but I feel like they’ve been saying this about AAA games since 2000s.
Sure, 90% of them will play it super safe. But there’s always 1 AAA game that breaks the mold and suddenly, the AAA games will follow that. Or imitate whatever indie game is doing with a higher budget.

Is this real? Did I just not get far enough?
- Comment on After saying negative reviews 'might just cause our death' and 'we've got a few months left in the oven', No Rest for the Wicked CEO claims he never said they were in 'immediate financial danger' 1 month ago:
Kind of frustrating because I liked Ori, which I felt was a beautiful piece of art. Only to find out this guy is a edge lord.

- Comment on Canceled Wonder Woman 'Was Gorgeous and Expansive,' Comic Book Writer Who Consulted on the Game Says 4 months ago:
Kill the Justice League, it’s art style and world is pretty attractive. Walking around the Hall of Justice, the details in various neighborhoods, it’s a nerd’s dream. I’m sure the art book is gorgeous.
Once you throw in the gameplay and all the special effects, it’s kind of a bore.
- Comment on Full Xbox 360 recompilation for PC debuts with Sonic Unleashed Recompiled 4 months ago:
This is pretty impressive work.
This also means that, in theory, any Xbox 360 game should now be fully Recompilable for native PC port goodness, including those unsupported by modern Xbox Backward Compatibility, effectively freeing several games from the graveyard — and opening the doors of modding wider than ever.
Sure, it might hit some legal obstacles for a time. But right now on Steam, there are companies releasing emulated versions of their classic games. I hope in a few years, this work turns into legal versions on Steam.
