• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that makes sense. Do they need to be forming attachments to the same series that we did though? Certainly stories told by contemporary writers are more likely to resonate with someone growing up in today’s world, rehashing and up the stuff that resonated with us isn’t necessarily the best move for getting the youths on board. Let the ones with interest in the history of gaming play dragon quest and final fantasy.

  didn’t that one rebrand to stoat, and then reveal they’re into slop coding?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Games you fell out of love with.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  World of Warcraft. It was a magical, formative game for me as a kid who had just got his own PC. When eventually I had to stop paying subs because I was a poor teenager with no income, i always yearned to go back, and mostly played on private servers. When I finally got both the time and money to revisit… bizzard was in their cosby suite era, and the game kinda sucked ass. It felt gross and i havent been back since.

  Im convinced the term ‘adulting’ is a psyop by old people to infantilize the younger generations

  this is making my ttrpg group actually consider letting me host stuff for them and I’m unironically thrilled… so like, matrix is the way, right? Or should I be looking at mumble or something?

  why is this man talking at me when he could’ve just transcribed the situation like a normal person

  thanks for the article, op

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is immersion to you?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The only quality that matters is that sweet sweet dissociation. When I lose track of time in Rimworld and suddenly its midnight, thats immersion to me. When the controller rumbles in skyrim, thats the opposite of immersion because I feel my own hands touching a controller and am reminded I exist.

  Filling out your arsenal with adversary weapons in warframe gets easier the more you do, and a lot of them are really worth while… but maxing them out? Hell no, that’s 5 forma a pop, and the valence bonus is NOT worth re-grinding out. I’m glad DE has made the Infested Adversaries easier to deal with, so the valence bonus is easier to max out but good god. that’s too much forma.

  Fuck yeah space funeral. One minute you’re being jumpscared by dramatic Charles Baudelaire readings and then chatting up Dracula in the next. It fucking rules

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite RPG maker games?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fear and Hunger 2 is pretty swell. The first one was kind of a bit too edgy for the sake of edginess, but miro did a much better job on the sequel

  Tech-no-log-ical.

  Robots.

  I poked around with it for a few hours and 3 hours vanished… Yeah, this one might replace luanti for me once its done

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't understand how Trump gets away with all his senial BS. How come everyone is telling him to piss off or use the constitution to shut him the hell up?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because the red team literally doesnt care. Their team is winning, nanannanabooboo. The blue team wabts the red team to think they’re cool or whatever, and pointing out the insanity gets them called crybabies, so they dont do it.

  You could get two endings in one playthrough if you either chose to play a certain way, or had foreknowledge of one of either of the two extreme ending’s requirements.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you preorder games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  im so sorry

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you preorder games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Never. Why would I pay early for a digital copy of a video game? I can just buy it when it comes out, or better yet, when it goes on sale.

  I haven’t got past the early game where you’re scraping the map for technology to build a little wooden house.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your gaming highlights of 2025?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Void Stranger, all of the ways it fucks with you even up to the end made it very memorable. The catharsis of finally getting it, and turning insurmountable challenges into not even a bump in the road was incredible. Place your faith in the void and jump in blind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for games to watch Let's Plays of: Recommend me something!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm, maybe. I’ve seen Vinesauce Vinny’s rimworld LPs at they’re kinda fun, but I think playing it yourself’s a lot less frustrating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for games to watch Let's Plays of: Recommend me something!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The original NieR is best watched as an LP. I liked the old SBFP LP.

  Does this mean Divinity Dragon Commander 2 confirmed instead 😳

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you cheat in video games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Only in the games where “victory” isn’t really the point, eg. Rimworld. I’m gonna turn a little bit of river into buildable land if it’d mean I have a better looking base.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DAE name their characters by their official name?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, yeah. That’s their name. I mean, it can be funny to name them fuckface or whatever, but his name is Chrono.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What game is a guilty pleasure of yours?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was surprised how super in on hoyo stuff I was until I started doing the dailies and the checklists on the regular. I kinda ruined my approach into Honkai because by the time I got into it, I learned from genshin I needed to do those dailies to get a decent shot at getting characters I actually cared about.
