  Pixar are such douches. Uniracers was a god damned masterpiece and one of the most fun, if rarely heard of, games on the SNES.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Statement From The White House⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If they said and meant it like that, there wouldn’t be a problem. It is more like: “I got this from Aldis”, “I’m going to Aldis”, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Statement From The White House⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it is more like the unrelated, and annoying, phenomenon where people inexplicably add an ‘s’ to brand names. I swear if I hear my in-laws tell me about their stuff from “Aldis” one more time I’ll lose it.

  A little too poetic for Sherman anyway. “War is hell” was definitely one of his quotes though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What launcher should I replace Nova with?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, the lack of distractions is the man draw I believe (also the qwerty keyboard on it is pretty nice), but it had rough edges that prevent me from recommending it. I had a feeling it would be like that since it is the first and only phone that company had made, but hope springs eternal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What launcher should I replace Nova with?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t seen any. My wife has a Minimal Phone, which is android, but heavily nerfed in what it can actually run. I can’t recommend it though until they fix the connectivity issues. It frequently has problems with wifi and bluetooth, also poor general cellular signal.

  Making your own AI variations was one of the coolest things about SupCom.

  No, it probably affect tifa and aerith saves as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rumor: Voice actor page leaks Xenoblade game for 2026⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have quite a few!

  I believe I mentioned many of them in my original comment, but I’ll list some of my completely subjective gripes here:

  • very underpowered system, even at launch.
  • most multiplatform games for the Switch are absolutely the worst version of the game, even for Indie titles that shouldn’t need the performance (I can give examples in spades)
  • I feel that it is a poor handheld console (too large, too short battery life, bad/uncomfortable controls)
  • I feel that it is a poor standalone console (iffy dock instead of just a power cord, controllers need to be physically attached and reattached to use, poor performance (already mentioned), too expensive for this purpose, battery dying prevents it from working standalone (sadly learned this the hard way))
  • bad included controller (tiny buttons, no dpad, analog stick constantly had issues and needed repair, batch charging mechanism (already mentioned))

  The Switch tries to be two consoles and ends up just being too many compromises while still being quite expensive. Add on to Nintendo’s knack for price gouging for games and accessories/replacements and I am just done with them. If they had released an “unSwitch” or something that just had a regular controller like the “pro” controller that was stationary and thus lacked a screen, battery, joycons, an $80 dock, it would have been much better for the half of the users that didn’t or couldn’t use it as a handheld and could have been cheaper. It still wouldn’t fix the performance stuff, but it wouldbe easier to forgive if it had been a budget console, not one that the previous gen of consoles trounced.

  The Xenogames were the only reason I even bought the Switch to begin with. I was, and still am, so disappointed with that console. No chance I am buying a Switch 2 for more Xenoblade games this time. I would love for them to become detached from Nintendo honestly. Sony and MS are at least receptive to PC ports, with Nintendo they are forever trapped.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rumor: Voice actor page leaks Xenoblade game for 2026⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Same, but we both sadly know it’ll never happen.

  Your extremely expensive try-hard sequel to a just OK game didn’t blow everyone away? Womp womp. Obsidian died when MS bought them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HD 137010 b⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand now, thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HD 137010 b⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, thanks for the clarification, I clearly misunderstood “g” and how it was used.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How accurate is this?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Worse, it was AOL.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How accurate is this?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  When I worked retail, that also included cleaning the bathrooms (who needs janitors when you have minimum wage kids!), so I got the worst of all worlds. And I’d still much prefer that over doing call center work every again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HD 137010 b⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you mean “c” instead of “g”? I don’t think there are a lot of “g” in interplanetary travel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If only⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same here, I probably still have some sealed spindles of black discs hiding on boxes.

  Now it’s extra tragic. They should have just made a meal at home and stopped crypto.

  Wow, not one of these looks worth my time. Maybe it’s the year of the Steam backlog.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"i can hear the difference"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Makes sense, I like vinyls for the deliberate retro experience of putting on the record and listening, but I have never agreed that they actually sound better. When CDs became mainstream I was personally thrilled.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"i can hear the difference"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I am sure it was no coincidence that those were the two options. I fell into that trap when I was a teen and had my first stereo. I had to buy some cables I couldn’t really afford because they literally didn’t offer RCA cables longer than 6’ in the other brand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"i can hear the difference"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Classic issue and I am a bit shocked they hadn’t run into it before, I had figured that out when i was a teen with my first stereo setup. I am also not surprised at all that they were recommended to fully rebuild lmao

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A belated Christmas gift to R6 Siege!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That shocking news! Almost as shocking as hearing that there are still Rainbow Six games being made and played.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"i can hear the difference"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a classic and I am glad it see it passed around again. The best part is the people that start delving into the snake oil absurdity that is “audiophile cables” before, you know, getting better actual speakers/headphones. Like for fucks sake, your $200 fancy cable isn’t going to make your bullshit bargain bookshelf speaker into the voice of god. Just get some half way decent equipment and listen to your actual music.

  They’ll probably have to claim to be working on AI to get someone to sell them new ram.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A cool feature/mechanic you want to see in games again⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The grappling hook was a common mod in the original QuakeWorld scene and was included in the official Quake II CTF game mod. I’m surprised it didn’t become a mainstay in games afterwards, it was so fun to use. Shogo: Mobile Armor Division had it built in and was one of the most fun FPS games I had ever played until cheaters took over.

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

  I don’t think the final release was “shit” per se, but I was super confused when I played it and expected cool features from the beta. The beta was also very beta and not all of the features were actually good, but I feel like they ran out of time/money/patience and just cut down a ton of stuff to ship it.
