  Juggling a lot at once right now.

  • Been working on platinums/100% for every single RGG game since Feb last year. Currently on Yakuza 2 (HD PS3 port since it actually has trophies but is entirely in Japanese lmao) and Kurohyou 1. Kurohyou 2 and Kenzan are the last games left after these.

  • Deltarune Ch 3 and 4 are gonna eat up a LOT of time this week and next

  • Sunk 20 hours into Nightreign, still haven’t beaten the first big boss because matchmaking is a nightmare. Might revisit this when some friends actually want to run it for once idk. Fun game but one bad teammate can fuck the whole run.

  After trying Code Vein because of similar hype and dropping it 2 hours in, I expected the same from this game, but goddamn it’s phenomenal. Absolutely worth playing through. It feels like a love letter to Fromsoft, rather than trying to just do what they do - the inspiration is obvious, but it still feels like its own unique thing.

  TRUE, I knew I was forgetting something else

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Was thinking of BL4. Still pretty egregious though

  Microsoft (and by extension id and Bethesda) are a priority target for the BDS boycotts against Israel

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s see

  • The game itself takes away a lot of pieces of the formula that made 2016 and Eternal so good
  • $80 price tag
  • BDS boycott

  I’m shocked that it’s not selling, absolutely shocked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In the wake of all the layoffs and such I don’t know if any former employees have (as vaguely as possible) discussed the codebase yet. It seems like such an absolute nightmare.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wait, that game is still playable online?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  hold up link me the discord, I played the absolute fuck out of this game as a kid

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate 3 dev calls Randy Pitchford's $80 Borderlands 4 comments "gross" because it implies the FPS is more important than "making it day to day"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll gladly buy indies, breakout titles with huge reception (BG3, E33 etc), or games from well renowned studios that have yet to let me down. Anything else I’m fine waiting for a sale. With these $80 price tags I don’t see myself buying a AAA title again for a LONG time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former Dragon Age writer says Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Baldur's Gate 3 prove 'what's possible when a game is given time to cook'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s actually so funny about that one is it’s actually kind of a fun game? Like don’t get me wrong it’s dogshit, but it’s fun dogshit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DOOM: The Dark Ages | Review Thread⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks incredible but reminder that Microsoft is currently a priority target of the BDS boycotts. This is my most anticipated game of the past few years and I’m holding off until they divest.

  Nah they’ll just jump ship to the next one

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include the DLC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I knew it was over as soon as they said the tech demo is a paid title

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include the DLC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Nintendo’s really making it easier and easier to not buy the $500 Metroid Prime mouse control box.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Dual boot is the way for right now. Proton is huge, but there are still a good number of games with compatibility issues or rootkit anticheats. Personally I advise steering clear of the latter, but that’s neither here nor there.

  I use CachyOS as my daily driver and booted up the Windows partition maybe 3 times since setting this up back in February (and most of those times were just to play REPO because Elgato hardware with dual input and output has serious issues with Linux, but I’ve sorted that out now with a workaround)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Warner Bros. Cancels Planned ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Game Expansion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah true. It’s generally better from what I’ve seen but nazi chuds really are everywhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Warner Bros. Cancels Planned ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Game Expansion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s actually so refreshing seeing upvoted comments here with the correct take, whereas the chuds would be all over this on the other site

  Fuck JKR and everything she stands for

  They live their entire lives pissed off at everything anyway

  That explains it, I knew this art style looked extremely familiar but couldn’t place it
