I try to improve myself every day.
But I can never achieve this level of genius. The answer is so obvious now!

Ballers gate 3? Pretty sure that runs on. Steam deck.
- Comment on Nintendo Maintains Nintendo Switch 2 Pricing, Retail Pre-Orders to Begin April 24 in U.S. 5 weeks ago:
I have such a nuanced opinion of Nintendo.
I would prefer to pay for high prices to a company that has the reputation of “consistently fun no matter what (unless its online)”.
Why? Because I am tired of paying a ‘good’ price for other media (or any goods/services) with a bunch of hidden aggressive enshitification. I know that when I buy mario kart, I am getting mario kart.
Can’t say the same for most other stuff, especially AAA video games. Nintendo might ask for high prices, but they deliver their product. And that is what I was promised in a capitalist economy, but rarely get it. So I am ‘happy’ as long as Nintendo doesn’t screw me individually.
BUT!!!
Fuck Nintendo for what they have done historically to the smash community. I won’t forget.

- Comment on PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now 2 months ago:
New games just don’t have a ‘punch’ to it anymore. They are not not game breaking anymore.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with old games either. They are the same as they were, which is why reboots and remakes are so popular.
- Comment on 6 years and 1 prolonged delay later, Xbox is still calling "incredible" Hollow Knight: Silksong one of its "upcoming games" 2 months ago:
My prediction is that Silksong will be a Nintendo Switch 2 launch title or something similar.

- Comment on Anon judges books by their covers 2 months ago:
Its a good lesson to teach kids, because human’s first instincts is to always judge and believe first impressions. This is obviously not a good outlook on life and will lead to issues and unnecessary conflict.
But yeah it is kind of bullshit once you are able to understand that first impressions CAN be wrong.
Also, children don’t dress themselves usually. So the advise is definitely more relevant as a child than an adult working retail.
And honestly the OP should have a 95% accuracy if they are seasoned in retail. As a former retail worker, those skills were ingrained after the first month working there. It is actually baffling how easy it is.
- Comment on EA's Skate Gets Microtransactions Before Its Release Date 2 months ago:
I don’t play skater games, but like whats so wrong with all the old ones? Didn’t they just remake Tony Hawk? How can these games be so different? I get playing ‘new’ games in your favorite genre, but I feel like you can only do so much with this formula, kind of like guitar hero.

Hi, just joined today. Already love it! I somehow get more interaction on here than I do on reddit.
Definitely looking forward to small communities again.
- Comment on Death Stranding 2: On the Beach | Pre-Order Trailer 2 months ago:
Love Kojima. Will play anything he makes even for a little because of his legacy.
I am really trying to get into games blind, especially a Kojima experience, but can someone tell me if this is looking like a ‘true’ Death Stranding 2, as in, the same overall game play loop of delivering packages and finding human connection in the world?
- Comment on Gaming has a polarization problem 2 months ago:
Well… to me this seems awfully close to “stop hitting yourself problem”.
Why are you looking comments everywhere? Do you really need that information to make a decision? Is it so bad to play a bad game now and then? I don’t see a problem, because this problem is easily avoidable by not going to social media for opinions.
Or am I missing the point?
- Comment on Split Fiction sold 1 million units in its first 48 hours 2 months ago:
My partner and I have played 4 hours so far. It is definitely a good game, feels smooth platforming wise. Also isn’t ‘easy’ (casual gamer standards) since it has a lot of different types of gameplay that they throw at you and makes you think on your feet. For instance, my partner (who is a gamer, but only for certain genres) had trouble with flying/driving in some sections.
So far a 5/5 game. I did come across some bugs, but nothing annoying or game breaking. Just funny ‘hiccups’ like sticking to objects that can be fixed by just button mashing or something.
