- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 1 hour ago:
…its been their game the whole time
The U.S. took his passport away as he was in transit, right when that happened (literally blame your own gov’t for this, it wasn’t his decision) he was getting a connecting flight in Russia. He’s since stayed there.
Crazy that you…think that Russia, what, had control of the American gov’t and got them to revoke his passport mid-flight? Is that what you’re getting at?
- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 1 hour ago:
Typical ‘Americans’ who are very gung-ho for their gov’t and the nonsense it spouts get angry that Russia gave him a safe space to live. They love to bring up that he lives in Russia now, so I’m going to assume this is what they’re (very ineffectively) trying to say

Soon TRIMUI will be sending me their Brick Pro and Pro U to review (which I am very much looking forward to testing!)
I love the Brick Hammer, my favorite of all perhaps :)
- Comment on Some of Android's Most Interesting Games Aren't on the Play Store 19 hours ago:
So funny to see your name pop up here! I was just looking at a few reports for your comment in the mod-queue where you made the reference to Magda Goebbels when discussing the death of the co-founder of Ubisoft. Seems people weren’t thrilled with that! And here you slide, still just as nasty.
Why share this, then?
Because it is a subject I care about? Oh I’m so sorry, did I make an error then apologize for it? Gardiner, myself and occasionally a couple others write articles about things we love, or believe to be important, or care about. We’re not a organization, we’re not a major site. I don’t get paid. We don’t run ads. It literally costs money to have people read the things we write, but we write things like this because we love them. I am just explaining this because you seem to think there needs to be a reason to write an article on a topic I enjoy.
Have you got some articles you have written, so you can show me how it is done?
Oh, okay. So basically this was just something they shit out and published without due diligence.
Kindly fuck off. And in fact consider this a warning to behave in this community. I spent time on this, you can see I’ve chatted about it in the comments here, it was not ‘shit out’. Keep rule # 2 in mind going forward.

You’re very kind, but I still think I am an idiot for not making sure of that!!!

Oh no, you’re totally fine. And you’re not the only one of ‘that guy’ who let me know! I hope you’ll forgive me pasting a comment from above explaining my unexplainable stupidity on this one:
because yes…I was a complete idiot and didn’t realize these were in fact on Play Store. That is unforgivable because research for articles is like my thing, but I just never use Play Store, outside of being for emulation on retro handhelds I review.
Sorry for the confusion! I did add the callout at the bottom of my intro to explain my idiocy
- Comment on Some of Android's Most Interesting Games Aren't on the Play Store 1 day ago:
My guess is, it was edited after posting here? That’s why some people pointed out the games are available on Play Store as well.
This was news to me, too! Gardiner edited it overnight (it is morning here in Australia now), because yes…I was a complete idiot and didn’t realize these were in fact on Play Store. That is unforgivable because research for articles is like my thing, but I just never use Play Store, outside of being for emulation on retro handhelds I review.
Sorry for the confusion! I did add the callout at the bottom of my intro to explain my idiocy, but the title was definitely a late edit.
- Comment on Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will officially begin on June 25 1 day ago:
Yes! But not a physical copy, I’m using this with my DSi:
- Comment on Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will officially begin on June 25 1 day ago:
Thanks, it was my latest DSi pickup (there’s been a lot)
This one is a color exclusive to Japan, it is the Lime Green one :)
- Comment on Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will officially begin on June 25 1 day ago:
It is the Lime Green Japanese DSi exclusive color!
- Comment on Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will officially begin on June 25 1 day ago:
Yes, very!
If you’re not morally against the idea, I recommend you consider your legally purchased GTA V copy to just be a license, and then either download a crack to apply or pirate one. Rockstar requires a online check in to play your single player game.
And I am well and truly against that idea. But regardless, yes it plays well!

Luckily you can run every single other GTA game before VI with relative ease on the Steam Deck!

- Comment on GOG Summer Sale is here! 1 day ago:
Nope.
I have a few years of Mastodon posts, Lemmy gaming posts and articles where my support of GOG was made very clear.
I have like 50ish games on Steam and a stupidly high number of a few thousand on GOG, but their non-action over their Nazi nonsense has had me drop support and purchases on GOG.
I won’t support that kind of thinking, and that vague non apology didn’t do it for me.
- Comment on Buying a PSP from Japan: One Fault, One Easy Fix 5 days ago:
What do you mean by local seller? Should I contact the Japanese store directly instead of going through the proxy?
Sorry, I mean buying in your own country. It does cost more, but you are actually better off just finding one there. It is a shame, I went through a whole process of finding a proxy service which still ships them and can be bothered with the paperwork, From Japan which got renamed to One Map is the only one which did ship them:
This was a year or two back, so maybe check them out?
- Comment on Buying a PSP from Japan: One Fault, One Easy Fix 5 days ago:
The Vita is technically shippable, but a few years back Buyee decided they didn’t want to do the paperwork. So now it won’t be shipped through them! I thinl Neokyo (another proxy service) actually did the same a little ways back also.
That is the only handheld which you can’t order though (go figure). PSP, all Nintendo handhelds are fine. Although there is a limit on two li-ion battery limit when they ship an order, so if you get a switch, they’ll send the tablet in one package and the joy-cons in another.
Hope that helps. It is frustrating, because Japan’s prices are much more reasonable, but you’ll have to go through a local seller or eBay (where the seller bothers with the paperwork to ship the built-in Vita battery)

- Comment on Control Resonant - Story/Release Date Reveal Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Totally funded by Epic. Lake tried for over a decade to get anyone to want to publish it, it no one was interested. Not only did Epic put the money up, they had a clause of profits over a certain amount going only to Remedy.
It is a fact. We’d never have Alan Wake 2 without Epic picking up the bill!
- Comment on What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ?? 2 weeks ago:
Dont forget you can check ProtonDB and see how users have found it on the Steam Deck! The site is a great resource for checking in advance:
There’s 30 separate reports there for you to check over!
- Comment on When Other Games Chased Polygons, Blade Runner Chased Atmosphere 3 weeks ago:
While not technically cyberpunk, or even at all, it is a fantastic film done by Ridley Scott in 1989. The neons and night time of Japan will remind you of Blade Runner!

Definitely worth watching the trailer:

You’re so welcome! I hope it’ll be sooner rather than later :)
- Comment on Exclusive Interview with Remedy’s New CEO: “Alan Wake and Control Should Have Sold More" 3 weeks ago:
Quite literally would not have existed had Epic not funded it. Lake shopped it around for the better part of a decade seeing if anyone would be interested in funding it, but no one besides Epic would.
So, again, this game would not exist if Epic wasn’t involved.

Trust you to be sharing the RomM link!
Oh there was a discussion between the two teams (RetroDECK & RomM) a few days back on Discord, I forget whose Discord though, but when I saw that I thought of you! I’ll see if I can find the link/where I saw it for you.

Let me know how it works out for you, and if it works as what you’ve been looking for! I’ll be super curious to hear your thoughts
