- Comment on PC Gaming’s Mascot Squad—who makes the cut? 2 days ago:
Im going to nominate one of these little guys
- Comment on Pick-ups from the Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo 2 days ago:
- That scared the crap out of me as a child. Absolutely no warning that it was coming.
Also its not anywhere because the company that made it doesnt exist any more so technically nobody has the rights to sell it. There’s going to be a lot more legal technicalities than that but that’s basically it.
- Comment on What game has the best tutorial, in your opinion? 3 days ago:
Mega Man is a pretty sweet example, explained by this blast from the past.
- Comment on Why do people like Mario Kart? 4 days ago:
In a way it’s more fair by design. In a completely fair game the most skilled player will always win. In a game like Mario Kart everyone has a chance to win.
As a kid my family wouldn’t play most games with me because I won every time. If we couldn’t do co-op mode we didnt play, and they’d still get grumbly on co-op because I’d be doing the heavy lifting and showing them up. They’d play Mario Kart and Mario Party with me though.
As an e-sport or “compare your online rank to mine and weep” dick-measurer it sucks. As a video game its very good.
- Comment on Instead of asking all my stupid questions separately, could I just get a ton of "How to Adult" type resources in the comments? 4 days ago:
That’s exactly why I refuse to use tutorials from YouTube. I’m just here to learn the thing you said you were teaching in the title. Im not looking to smash that subscribe button and ding the bell and comment below if I want to see more and see how all your other videos were doing or learn about how you got started in whatever field this is or when the thing was invented or little known facts about the thing that is useless filler to get you up to 10 minutes and im still not interested in like and subscribing and I don’t want to hear about how grateful you are about getting to whatever number of subscribers you have and just get to the fucking topic you promised you bitch
- Comment on Blue Prince - Have you played it? How blown is your mind? 6 days ago:
Im going to need to go back and try it again, I don’t think i gave it enough time. I failed (because of course I did) about 5 times before giving up. Its a neat concept but it didnt get its hooks in me like everyone else says.
Without fullt spoiling it, does it have some kind of twist in it that I didnt give it a chance to do?
- Comment on What the fuck you 1 week ago:
Absolutely. I haven’t personally pirated anything since getting netflix years ago, but its looking more and more tempting to get back into it.
- Comment on What the fuck you 1 week ago:
Do it loudly and keep teaching others how to.
Steam taught us that piracy is a service issue and this shit right here is a service issue.
- Comment on What's going on with Borderlands 2? Steam is giving it for free, but the game has 23% positive recent reviews. 1 week ago:
I sometimes wonder what I casually believe because I read it while scrolling for something interesting. I don’t have the time or inclination to fact check every single detail I come across.
- Comment on Why do low framerates *feel* so much worse on modern video games? 1 week ago:
The display being at a higher resolution doesnt help either. Running retro games on my fancy flatscreen hi-def massive TV makes them look and feel so much worse than on the smaller fuzzy CRT screens of the time.
I can’t stand modern games with lower frame rates. I had to give up on Avowed and a few other late titles on the series S because it makes me feel sick when turning the camera. I assume most of the later titles on xbox will be doing this as theyre starting to push what the systems are capable of and the series S can’t really cope as well.
- Comment on What are you all looking forward to at Summer Games Fest? 1 week ago:
Fable 4 if it’s getting a mention. It’s the only game I’m actually excited for any more.
The only games I truly enjoyed these days have been unexpected indie hits that are impossible to predict, you don’t know theyre coming or good until they happen.
I don’t know why Fable is immune to my thickening shield of apathy, but basically every other game I see I just think “yeah it looks pretty but I’m pretty sure I played it 20 times before”
- Comment on Is this genocide denial? 1 week ago:
How could the dictionary be biased? Genuine question i promise im not piling on in bad faith or anything
- Comment on Are some people too stupid to feel depressed? 1 week ago:
I don’t think so, but maybe in the extremes. There’s some people with such low IQ they have difficulty following cooking instructions on a microwave meal. It might be possible to have such limited capacity that they’re immune to depression.
- Comment on My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah i can see wanting to do it of your own volition, my brother went the same way, but having one parent ask that of you is something else.
- Comment on Can a person use AI or whatever and get rid of their name and history off the net? And can it create a new ident with a bunch of history pictures and so forth? 2 weeks ago:
The Internet doesnt remember that one very spicy video you found
- Comment on Is their any evolutionary benefit to the sneezing reflex when looking at a bright light source, or is it just an evolutionary glitch with no purpose? 2 weeks ago:
Maybe it’s a thing that only certain people do, like rolling your tongue. Looking at a bright light doesnt make me sneeze, and until just now I thought it was just an old wives tale, like remedies for curing hiccups. Doesn’t work but widely believed.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Its secure enough for the average person. If your friend was a big deal, super rich or powerful and a massive target it would be easy enough to figure out.
I doubt it would be worthwhile trying to crack that particular code for the average joe.
- Comment on Are their any romance movies where there is a male protagonist who is a part of the manosphere? 2 weeks ago:
Does Superbad count?
Its in no way a romance, but the entire adventure is fuelled by the quest to get laid.
- Comment on There's a noticable influx of trans kids in my job. Are there any topics I should avoid or considerations I should take into account when training them? 2 weeks ago:
I want to live in the timeline where a super-scientist gets sick of the attack helicopter meme and makes “attack helicopter reassignment surgery” possible and available.
- Comment on Microsoft Shifts Xbox Gaming Handheld Ambitions to Third-Party Windows Handhelds, Postpones 2027 Launch Plans 2 weeks ago:
Maybe even get Xbox gamepass on it.
Im honestly not sure why they’re making a handheld Xbox after their “everything is an xbox” push. Why have just an Xbox when you can get anything else PLUS an Xbox for likely cheaper?
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Surpasses 3.3 Million Copies in 33 Days 3 weeks ago:
Wow mister that’s a gotta threes
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of May 25th 3 weeks ago:
Im back to Balatro after losing all interest in it. Just got a couple more decks to unlock until I can decide I’ve completed it. I obviously never will (get gold tokens on all the jokers? Lolno) but it will feel like a good point to stop with no regrets.
- Comment on If not intentially a minority and I get into a fight and I did not know they were gay, palestinian, jewish, or whatever. Can I still be charged with a hate crime? Or does one have to know first? 3 weeks ago:
You may still be depending on how the story is spun, but you shouldn’t be. Hate crimes are motivated by the prejudice

- Comment on Catchiest video game song? 3 weeks ago:
My suggestion was Red Alert too, but from 3.
- Comment on Why old games never die (but new ones do) 3 weeks ago:
Its the same with music and films. They were so much better in the past and here’s the examples. Not included in the examples are the thousands of songs and bands that didn’t stand the test of time.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
There’s a lot of good explanations here already about details, but big picture - it’s a big club and you ain’t in it.
- Comment on Peter Molyneux explains why his infamous Kinect game Project Milo was never released 3 weeks ago:
Mine still exists for almost exactly the same reason. Its excellent tech and it can be used for great things. One day I’ll learn how to do stuff like that and then I’ll be as a god. I mean not today obviously I got stuff to do I’m a busy man, but one day. Probably. Its nice to dream.
- Comment on Tech disabled and locked NTP to profit if RTC is wrong 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think it’s highly likely that an attacker is going to hack their way in to a domestic apartment.
- Comment on WTF is this ad in my recording app 3 weeks ago:
Its where you can buy Plumbuses
