Modern ones ain’t too shabby. Back around some time between 2014-17 an old L.L. Bean backpack I had for a really long time died and now I have a basically all black backpack that is pretty nice and easily blends in, in terms of not being something that looks as actually dorky or somewhat childish as that old blue backpack that had a grid pattern on it.
- Comment on How do you think a socialist President would win the 2028 election? Would they use the exact methods used by Zohran Mamdani which earned him the office of Mayor of NYC? 3 days ago:
IDK if after his term, if there’s an election, you could convince any of his cult followers still following him to switch.
As for those that ditch him, probably seeing a socialist repeatedly on whatever shit show podcasts and news channels they watch, if it’s under a positive light, might help. Otherwise, IDK how you’d convince them since I’m not an expert at convincing people.

That would help, too, but I can guarantee a large portion of voters would absolutely not vote for any socialist because they’d immediately think they’re trying to replace democracy with communism all because of the effective brain washing.
Though UBI sounds good right about now.

So long as they can manage to get it through the thick skull of probably a majority of United States citizens that socialism and communism are not the same thing, then that would be a good first or second step since so many people have been brainwashed into believing they are the same thing.

I am still hate playing the Oaken Tower Olen beta demo.
I also got back into Mindustry a little and let me tell you how much I hate having to juggle conveyor belts to move everything without getting things accidentally mixed up. Drives me crazy when I have to redo everything because materials are getting accidentally mixed in with the wrong lines. Especially in tight quarters.
- Comment on Pet Peeves with Games? 1 week ago:
I like somewhat buggy messes like Oblivion, but if your game keeps randomly crashing on me, like New Veags without stability mods, I will be pretty peeved after a while.
Same with games like Oaken Tower where, even though I cannot prove it, I swear they lower the odds of finding the items you have and need until you cannot afford it after rerolls and level ups and such. That, or you have a max upgraded item and it won’t stop giving you that specific item that you cannot use multiples of for whatever reason. Or you sell that item because it has stopped appearing in shop and decides to show up multiple times after selling and doing a singular reroll.

Still wishing ill will on the Oaken Tower open beta demo. I hate that game but keep coming back.
- Comment on Do you preorder games? 3 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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.

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? 5 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.

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? 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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? 1 month 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? 1 month 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 1 month 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.

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.

- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of November 9th 2 months 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.
