- Comment on I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies 1 week ago:
Man ea and Ubisoft games suck so bad I don’t even bother pirating them. I’m not even being facetious, the last ea game I played was the dead space remake which was passable but also totally skippable, and I borrowed a friends ea account to do that, getting bored half way through and stopping. Had he not offered I’d not have played it at all. I think the last ea game I paid and played through was mass effect 2.
Same thing with Ubisoft. I briefly had gamepass and played AC Odyssey for three hours before losing interest, same with their terrible Greek botw wannabe.
Neither company has released anything I’ve even been interested in since that, years and years ago.
That said I still buy rockstar games, the amount of money, effort, and attention to detail that went into Red Dead 2 is simply breath taking, but by the same token i bought it for twenty bucks after pirating it to make sure i liked it and it ran well.
Other than that I’m on the same page as you. Also I’m not criticizing you, just pointing out a slight difference in opinion. I pirate two dozen games a month

Is it a nexus of sorts?

Can confirm, been doing it since forever.
- Comment on Xbox: "Price Increases Are Never Fun For Anybody" 1 week ago:
Is it fair to blame 343 Studios’ incredibly, laughably incompetent handling of the Halo franchise for this? And by this I mean the obvious death of the Xbox as a gaming platform. Or, from a different perspective, could Halo have actually saved the Xbox if the games had been amazing, or even just good?

Playing everything that just came out except Chronos.
Frogslayer, a touhou project game. Basically an very simple turn based jrpg with timing element. It’s cheap and fine but I probably won’t finish it
Strange Antiquities, the sequel to Strange Horticulture, this game is more logic puzzles than anything else, but is very satisfying for a certain type of gamer. I’ll finish it
Silksong, I beat the first real boss. I’ll probably shelve it for a while, I never beat Hollow Knight and it’s a bit harder than that. Excellent game but a bit much for me at the moment
Danganronpa V3, I’m working my way through the Spike Chunsoft catalog of games after the recent release of No time to Sleep for Katane or whatever it’s called, the AI Somnium Files spinoff. Dv3 is one of two spike Chunsoft games I didn’t finish. I replayed the first two games, they’re both great, second is better than I remember. Third doesn’t quite measure up but I will. Then it’s on to the Nonary games trilogy.
428 Shibuya Scramble, another Spike Chunsoft game but a standalone, also a pure VN as iposed to the others. Unique and wonderful but I’m stuck at the end, hard even with a walkthrough. I’ll finish it within the next week or two
Metal gear solid delta remake, it’s mgs3 with better graphics and modern controls, it’s not perfect but it’s great. Only cried three times. Game is also incredibly funny if you listen to all the codecs. I just climbed the epic ladder to the torchsong music so I’m in the last 25% or so. I’m deliberately drafting it out. I’ll finish it this week.
Fairy tale survivors something something, I think it’s a Chinese survivors game tsking inspiration from fairy tales, specifically Pinocchio. It’s ok, I need to put more time into it, God knows I’ve never actually finished a survivors game
Dead break, a FMV time loop scifi horror game, it’s pretty solid for 12 bucks, but I do have nostalgia for both FMV games and outrageously gory low budget mid 90s scifi schlock which this clearly references. I’ll finish it soon, I’m just dragging it out.
Monster train 2, it’s the best current card game thingy I think, I dunno, I play it to come down from the drugs cause it doesn’t require much from me. I’ll never finish it.
I dunno there’s probably some more I forgot.

I’d pay thirty bucks for that game if they’d remove all the bullshit f2p mechanics.

Hence why I have never owned and never will own an apple product. Google used to have the company of motto of Don’t Be Evil. Everyone should have jumped ship when they deliverately removed that from the record.

- Comment on A real question about trans athletes and records 1 month ago:
Lol giving a fucking shit about fucking sports records as the world burns around you. Cool priorities. All this shit is stupid smoke and mirrors nonsense distracting you from the many actual problems we are facing. Wasting a single micro second on these concerns is a fucking crime against humanity. A) sports are fucking dumb and B) we are at the precipice of the end of the world stop worrying about something as asinine as world records and maybe worry about something that fucking matters. JFC.
