• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you preorder games?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Last, and only time, I ever got to preorder was BioShock Infinite. Got the game an a guidebook ( still have that guidebook, even if I’ve never really used it ). Was kinda lackluster, IMO, but at least I got the game and didn’t have to wait outside for hours like my brother did for GTA V.

  Nowadays I stay away from preorders because they’re basically all digital and you don’t even get anything besides maybe early access for a week and some useless cosmetic things that eventually get handed out to everyone who wants to buy it. At least in the case of triple AAA games.

  I haven’t seen much for preordering for indie titles besides being a kickstarter backer. Even then, I was able to not be a kickstarer for one of my favorite gamed released the last couple years ( Broke the InvestiGator ) and still managed to snag some of the leftover kickstarter rewards. Never backed one besides a tie-in comic for the game, so not much of an opinion either way since I don’t have enough experience to say one way or another.

  As for early access, it depends on the game and if it either looks interesting to me and/or if I’ve seen someone else play it and looks fun. It’s the main reasons I got into games like Peggle, Shotgun King, Dungeon Clawler, etcetera. All games I saw plenty of videos on and/or played demos of, if they had a demo.

  I don’t have a problem with early access so long as your game isn’t early access throughout its whole life cycle. A game that has been in development as early access for 3 years? At that point, if you’re still giving updates, why not put it in alpha or beta and be upfront about it? I swear some devs don’t do that so they can just disregard all criticism of their title because It’S sTiLl In EaRlY aCcEsS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What're your strong opinions from an aged / dead fandom?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, it was revived and I refuse to watch the revival, but for Tiny Toons Adventures ( revived as something like Toons Looniversity or something like that IIRC ), I rather strongly dislike how they removed Elmira and made Babs and Buster siblings.

  I’m especially not for the Babs and Buster change because if that’s cannon to the original show by proxy of the reboot, that would make any moment where Babs and Buster have feelings for each other or the maybe episode or 2 where they go on a date have an extremely incestuous vibe.

  As for Elmira, I love how over the top she is as an example of how not to be a pet owner. Or how not to babysit in the case of the one episode where she babysits for a no name, single episode family. Or how in the Spring Break special she gets either government or military help to capture Buster by giving them Harrison Ford, IIRC, with him trapped in a cage.

  If we’re plucking hairs off it with tweezers in time to a good beat, I’ll agree.

  Just finished the holiday carrolling quest in Toontown Rewritten last night.

  I have also recently been having fun with the KilaFlow demo. It’s a 3D platformer that has you playing through each level multiple times but is still really fun because it can be fairly fast paced.

  But I think my crowning achievement for games played this month was beating my first ever fallout new vegas run a couplendays ago. Embarrassed the Legate with just a fully modded war club… before embarrassing Oliver with Salt Upon Wound’s Fist after talking him down in a House run.

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

  Probably a tie between getting a Dreamcast copy of Sonic Adventure for a good price on eBay. That, or getting close to finishing New Vegas for the first time, which really kicked off over the summer more than anything. Real highlights.

  Though starting an account on Toon Town Rewritten and creating King Miles Purplewhatsit maybe a month to 2 months ago might also be a highlight as well. A toon town in need and all that. The cogs ain’t gonna splat themselves with pie.

  As for what Steam would say, no clue because I purposefully don’t pay attention when something like Steam does some form of year in review, let alone when my phone does a weekly time spent on it review.

  Sure. Let’s go with that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you get carried away with the corn⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen some genuinely funny stuff from the Chinese internet, but that just looms like it hurts.

  Despite this not feeling like a shitpost, damn! That courtroom sketch artist made him look like one of those rare movie villains that you actually side with because the hero is so whiny and unlikeable!

  Just recently got Sonic Lost World’s installed on my steam deck with mods to make movement bearable and add the exclusive DLC.

  Also still slowly grinding my way through Toon Town Rewritten. I’m currently at around maybe 22 laff points and am a few quests away from unlocking my 3rd gag.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best vertical games on Android?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For casual time wasters, Feudal Tactics and Shattered Pixel Dungeon are good games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of November 30th⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just started the demo to the Pokemon Shard fan game. It’s looks pretty nice and plays nice as well.

  I also just started playing the Dungeon Clawler beta update with the new fire character. So far, fire is a weak debuff that I could never see myself playing with intentionally.

  Also just went through and got the last ducks I needed to unlock the credits level of Fling To The Finish and I think it’s clever to make the end credits a playable level that doesn’t feel out of place.

  Otherwise, I have made some progress on Toon Town Rewritten. Slowly slogging and grinding my way through.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Drama⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  From what I’ve heard, various mods were literally forcibly removed from their position and the mod having a temper tantrum basically ended up trying to loop them into his delusions. Assuming it’s true, sounds like this person wanted to take down as many people as they could with them in some petty game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which of the two would you purchase for someone who’s not so technical?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you want any games for switch to work as intended, without a bunch of lag or any major fiddling to get that one specific game to work, switch/2 is sadly the only way to go.

  As for the deck route, absolutely depends on various things. Is she okay with piracy and will she know? Do y’all plan on using it just for switch emulation or are there other games on other consoles/Steam/other storefronts that are gonna be emulated/installed? If yes to questions like that, deck would be the way to go. More bang for your buck due to not being limited to a single games ecosystem.

  Also, another thing to think about, is that there are current, IIRC, Zer0 switch 2 emulators that can do much of anything, so you’d have to emulate the switch 1 version of games on something like Ryubing Ryujinx. Do you wanna wait for a switch 2 emulator that might not be able to run that less popular title you like because they’re focusing on the big triple AAA titles? Good to keep this in mind, IMO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The ‘Great Meme Reset’ Is Coming: From Jack Dorsey to Gen Alpha, everyone seemingly wants to go back to the internet of a decade ago. But is it possible to reverse AI slop and brain rot?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, a temporary reset is possible, but nobody, myself included, wants that because it would involve destroying every single digital storage device and completely wiping away everything.

  All we’d have is the memory of brainrot and AI… until everuthingngets rebuilt and status quo returns to normal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dude read the rules of woman only community and decided to post anyway⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that definitely is annoying to have a man invade a space specifically for women, speaking as a man. You certainly ain’t doing any favors by going onto a woman’s space to reply to their posts if you’re a man.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of November 16th⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I just started solo playing Toon Town Rewritten this weekend. Not a big social person, but still love the fighting cogs and mini games. Don’t remember how long I even played it back in the day, but I’m giving it a shot and nkt regretting it so far.

  Maze Mice and Slay The Spire are just about the only other games I’ve been really focusing on outside of PvZ Reflourished on my phone.

  Despite my city having hydroelectric power as one of the power supplies, data centers make me horrified of what damage they’d do if they started popping up in my hometown. Especially with all the water they waste.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of November 9th⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, so, I got a copy of Sonic Adventure on Dreamcast and played a little last night and I was super excited. I broke my rule of not having Japanese games imported because the eBay price was real cheap. If I had a cap for my VMU and was sure the thing worked when batteries are in, I would absolutely have a Chao with me on the go, probably a day I know the odds of me losing my VMU or damaging it was low.

  I also have been enjoying a pokemon fan game called Pokemon Berilo. It’s a fan game in Spanish that has an ENG translation version. Currently a demo build but might be lengthy. I’ve played for a few hours and am basically just getting to gym 1 because I have been so busy with side quests and catching things. I love it because they have a custom pause menu UI and that’s so much nicer than the maybe 2 defaults people use for their games.

  Can’t tell whether this is satire or not, but it’s kinda funny either way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We always hear/read about Goverments cencoring the internet. What is something that the US is not knowing is being censored?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I presume that might be a regional thing, because I was taught in 8th grade US history class about some of the atrocious things we did to the natives. And to a lesser extent about what my state did specifically in the history class for my specific state.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favorite case of a game making fun of you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the simple messages you get in Quantum Conundrum every time you die. They’re not super serious things, but just things that the main character will never get to experience as they grow older, ranging from mundane things like not getting a drivers license to more realistic teen/immature young adult fantasy of eating a whole can of whipped cream as a meal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The fun part about this is I didn’t know it existed until maybe a few years back when someone I watch on yt who plays pokemon fan games and ROM hacks ( HeroVoltsy ) played it. And even then, I think I only found out by scrolling through his playlists.

  Will say, just like a lot of fan projects like this, the game requires you to join their discord server if you don’t already have the download link. Sadly probably one of the best and worst ways to try and keep the project going while also keeping the corpo lawyers off their back and also being accessible to the majority of people.

  Can’t say I know what simulator you are talking about, though. I think the only one I know of is Showdown.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If we’re including fan games for preexisting games, I so far absolutely love Pokemon Empire, the Reborn style difficult fan game set in a region that basically just finished a full-on civil war and you and a friend are finally able to return to the region. Not really spoilers since you are basically told that in the first part of the game.

  I am not gonna give away spoilers if possible, but the region feels like it’s divided after the war, which gives it a more real feeling than any official game or basically any fan game. Various NPCs question whether things were better before the war, some want the old monarchy back in power, some are more in favor of the new government, etcetera. It feels less like a typical run through the gyms, defeat evil team, beat elite 4 and champion style game so far with what I have played and how far they are in development.

  I like how the writers didn’t just decide to make everyone into a hivemind of “villain team bad!” ( or more than likely just ignore them, like in majority of the official games ) and have people who support them and people who start to question whether or not the villains are in the wrong or not.

  I also like how in the tilesets they used, some parts of the region look like they are wartorn to a degree and are a region that is starting the rebuilding process.

  I wanna say more things, but then I’d be spoiling stuff and I really don’t wanna spoil things for this game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there good Movies, TV Shows, Anime, with wholesome family (particularly parent-child) relations?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Itnhas it’s moments, but it’s one of those preschool tylr cartoons: Franklin.

  No matter what ends up happening, you at least know the main character’s parents are there for him in that wholesome manner you always see in shows of that type. No fighting, no whining, etcetera.

  Though, for specific episodes of TV shows, one of my favorites is the KND episode where numbuh 1’s dad gets dadnapped on a father son trip and it ends with numbuh 1 in a sousaphone battle to save his dad, who is absolutely having an amazing time despite being hung upsidedown.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there video media (e.g TV shows, Movies, anime, video games, youtube videos, etc...) with a majority of the dialogue in an fictional language?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you count text boxes, not having anybody speaking the language, and having to piece together the language based off of context clues and guessing if need be, Chants of Sennaar might work.

  Other than something like that, I personally cannot think of any other work that does what you describe.
