- Comment on Name it 6 hours ago:
Graphically I’d have to say either Broke the Investigator or Corn Kidz 64.
One, as someone described in a plauthrough video, looks like a Saturday morning cartoon. The other, I think nails that old 90s 3D somewhat stylized video game look pretty well, IMO.
- Comment on Wish I still had a CD player 1 day ago:
A disc drive was the deciding factor in me getting my desktop. That, and all the USB ports.
I also really like the old 90s Sony Discman I got with appropriate headphones, even if it is a battery hog.
Would recommend picking up an old CD player and headphones if you have a CD collection and are feeling extra.
- Comment on The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game. 3 days ago:
Free games are getting dumpstered on in the comments and all I gotta say is there are some amazing free games, not including FOSS because I’m sure the majority of people here already know about SuperTuxKart, Mindustry, Unciv, etcetera.
• Amorous ( that one furry dating VN that should definitely be age restricted/gated until at least 16 years old )
• Sonic Galactic ( a pretty cool looking WIP 2D Sonic fan game )
• Ardor ( a free Steam roguelite ( roguelike? ) game )
• Plants vs Zombies 2 Reflourished mod ( a harder version of PvZ2 with various balance changes and new content with probably a majority of the bloat premium plants removed )
• Portal Revolution ( technically cheating since it’s a mod for Portal 2, but at 11.58GB it’s more than just a basic mod considering it’s almost at big as the base game ( 11.91GB ))

I’d say it looks a little AI generated, for starters, and second I wanna ask a question. If Heaven and Hell are real, why would there be a way for living people to enter from space? I thought the only way to either place was death?

I give it a few more years of gaslighting everyone before windows 12 comes out and it’s literally just a speech operated agentic copilot thing in the center of the screen. Obviously, they’ll take support for mouse, keyboard, and touchscreen out, make it so every copy is just you renting from their cloud that barely works because it’s vibe coded to Hell and back.
- Comment on close to finishing Super Mario Odyssey and was wondering which games are similar 2 weeks ago:
I think it is more of a slower game in general. I’ve only been to maybe 3-4 levels and it definitely isn’t as fast paced as games like odyssey. Doesn’t help that there’s usually a quiz about the previous level in between being able to access each new area in the hub world after the first level.
Cannot say whether the remaster makes the gameplay any faster or not considering I’m still trying to beat the original.
- Comment on close to finishing Super Mario Odyssey and was wondering which games are similar 2 weeks ago:
The second I saw someone mention A Hat In Time my mind sprung to thinking Yooka-Laylee as a viable option. It’s made by a studio founded by ex-RAR employees, IIRC, and has been a game I’ve played on and off but find a lot of fun. Especially from an exploration standpoint.
Game is basically running through a giant hub, going from level to level, collecting magic book pages, all in order to get back a book that was stolen from one of the main characters. Levels are pretty big too, with expansions as well. Has a Banjo Kazooie vibe, from what I know about that franchise.
There’s also a switch port, assuming you don’t feel like spending $19.99 on Steam for the original ( 7.48GB space required ) or $29.99 for the remaster ( 25.96GB space required )

Fair enough.
- Comment on The #1 trick Furries dont want you to know! 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I cannot understand how people can go out into public spaces for prolonged periods of time without showering beforehand. Get your head in the game people! I can’t even smell and I know I smell infinitely better than those showerless people because I shower, use deodorant, and a little cologne, unlike them.
- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 2 weeks ago:
As long as I can. At least until they start to become a real problem, like starting to really fall apart. If possible, that is. I just enjoy wearing my shoes to the max to ensure I get the most out of them.
- Comment on Someone tries to hack you - no big deal. But you try to login and you have to jump through hoops 2 weeks ago:
It’s cheaper to do the very bare minimum security to stop hackers. The fines are worth less than the amount of money they can still make off your account. Same reason why you can see full-on pornography ads but you say “damn” once within the first minute and your whole channel gets nuked.
- Comment on Brand new bag 3 weeks ago:
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 weeks 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.
- 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 weeks ago:
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.
- 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 weeks ago:
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.

- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of January 12th 3 weeks ago:
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? 4 weeks 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? 1 month 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? 1 month 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.
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of November December 21st 1 month ago:
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? 1 month 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.

- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of November December 7th 2 months ago:
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.
