- Comment on "Why should we just give up the entire month of November?" – The indie games going head to head with GTA 6 12 hours ago:
November? Oh, I’m excited for several things. I will probably be picking up Psycho Sleuth and Amnea28 around that time.
I’m also somewhat hopeful that Aliya 2 comes out then. It’s a big thing in China.
I am also monitoring Reverie Eclipse. The previous stuff made by this dev doesn’t inspire confidence, so I’m curious if this game will end being a big blunder by November.
I am also patiently awaiting Become, a game that goes through the early life of you, the person reading this. It specifically goes through the challenges of how you won the first race you ever competed in.
And this one comes out a bit before November, but I’ll mention it anyway. Red Chat Ritual has a big “spooky village in the Deep South” vibe. It shows promise.

- Comment on I made some interesting mods 1 day ago:
I’ve been dabbling with adding halogens like bromine liquid and fluorine gas to the game, but lost interest. Adding bromine isn’t too bad, but gas isn’t done well in Minecraft.
- Comment on 6 days ago:
It would be wise to run such things in a VM. I would expect Rockstar to post some editions of GTA6 on pirate sites themselves, except with some spyware attached.
- Comment on DSP clears Wolverine's motorcycle section without player input 1 week ago:
A self-absorbed streamer who sucks at every game he plays. Nearly all of the “This is how you don’t play” compilations are about him. The TIHYDP videos of his MGS playthroughs are particularly famous.
- Comment on DSP clears Wolverine's motorcycle section without player input 1 week ago:
There seems to be several difficulties, though the motorcycle section seems to still be simple. That commenter down below showed a demonstration by flats on this section, who cleared it on the 2nd highest difficulty, though he did die once.

- Comment on Insomniac's Wolverine hits 1.9 million sales despite controversy, becomes Sony's top first-party game of 2026 1 week ago:
Ah, but what you miss is that the game would be far too hard for DSP to complete otherwise. There will be no complaints of I PRESSED IT AND IT DIDN’T COUNT WHAT A STOOPID GAME and WHAAAT THE GAME DIDN’T TELL ME THAT.
- Comment on CounterSide is fully free and single player now 2 weeks ago:
I’d say so. The story is pretty good, and you can use console commands to give you whatever resources you want. You can play the game as the biggest gacha megawhale that every existed at the low cost of free.
The gameplay also requires some tactical thinking in the later stages. For example, if there’s an enemy unit that constantly heals itself to full, you can drop a unit that specializes in healing reflux (Awakened Seo Yoon - any healing causes equivalent damage instead). One of the Awakened characters - Replacer King - has a mechanic I very much enjoy where he resurrects your units as zombies when they die, and he gets an upgrade to his punches (he can then punch across the map) when he performs a resurrection.
- Comment on CounterSide is fully free and single player now 2 weeks ago:
I played it until July 2023, so I can only speak until then.
The setting is like SCP Foundation, except the latest big containment breach (which happened a few decades before the main story) is being managed, but was never really stopped. There are competing factions who try to offer their own solutions for fixing the SCP Foundation’s titanic fuck-up. My absolute favorite story in this game is the two side stories focused on the Horizon character - basically a story about an unstoppable terminator who wants to personally give a dude who screwed her and her friends over a horrible death.
The gameplay is a line battler. You control when and where your units spawn in, and you control when they launch their ultimates, but things otherwise are left to the AI.
There’s a dupe system and a very punishing gear system, but since there are console commands, those aren’t so bad anymore. You can just grab what you want and get to work.

- Comment on Active Matter developers put up an incredibly distasteful AI notice on Steam 2 weeks ago:
“In other words, we think AI should be voiced by AI - not to offend AI. This feels especially important nowadays, with AGI almost here. That’s all we can say, unpacking the whole AI cultural narrative isn’t really our place.”
Ah yes, of course! AI characters must be voiced by AI, or you’ll hurt ChatGPT’s feelings. You don’t want to make ChatGPT cry!
- Comment on WTF?! Players in AU have to use a CC for age verification via steam just to view "violent" games! 2 weeks ago:
I wanna know when the Australian government will send some dudes out to kick in some doors and bust some heads to send a message against anyone trying to thwart this.
- Comment on Miami wants to turn parts of the city into a real-life GTA Vice City, but sheriff opposes the plan 3 weeks ago:
Interesting idea, but I would rather see parts of the city converted into Arkham City instead. Housing problems and vagrancy would vanish overnight.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
The controversy won’t stop with release. Do you remember the uproar over Trevor offing Johnny Klebitz back in the day? I’m still holding a grudge after a decade plus.
- Comment on DON'T NOD is running out of funding and may cease operations on January 31, 2027 - IG News 3 weeks ago:
Looks like the hail mary pass to bring Max and Chloe back didn’t go too good.
- Comment on Stealth Games Are Flawed (And Hard To Fix) 3 weeks ago:
The paranoia is what makes the alien scary to me. Its footsteps are pretty loud, so you know it’s close by, but you don’t know if it’s going to hop back into a vent or walk into the room you’re in. The alien is also smart enough to prepare ambushes, too. I’ve seen it crouch down and wait for anything passing by.
- Comment on Stealth Games Are Flawed (And Hard To Fix) 3 weeks ago:
Gotta say, the alien in Alien: Isolation is my favorite “guard” in stealth games. That encounter in the medical area really is something.
- Comment on Sony Implements New Customer Harassment Policy Following Backlash Toward Its Plans to Stop Making Physical Game Discs 3 weeks ago:
Finger pinching is some very serious shit to Korean gamers.
- Comment on Sony Implements New Customer Harassment Policy Following Backlash Toward Its Plans to Stop Making Physical Game Discs 3 weeks ago:
I want to see Sony advertise a game where the female lead is blatantly doing lots of “finger pinch” emote in South Korea. Put the game on every single screen in Seoul. The results would be a thing of beauty.

The corpo gaming industry, perhaps. I’ve seen various indie developers have a great time.

Old ones can be modded. So old.
- Comment on Despite Steam's concerning domination over the market, one of the things that I love about it is... 4 weeks ago:
My favorite reply from one of my detractors is:
> That’s like 10yrs old
The game released in 2019, it just became 5yrs old this yr.
(Already showing how untrustworthy your opinion is)
>unplayable buggy
No reviews for DE:RQ(1) support your allegations, that it’s unplayable. not to mention it’s a game about being trapped in an unfinished, improperly debugged game.
>outburst
No?
I just highlighted that you literally spoiled the late stage game.
The Mystery is how did Shina get trapped in a Video Game?
You’re just being an 𓆩ⱥꞩꞩ𓆪 hole.
- Comment on Despite Steam's concerning domination over the market, one of the things that I love about it is... 4 weeks ago:
I review a bunch of Steam games, usually of the obscure sort. I always leave the comments on. I feel they can provide additional context that I didn’t give.
Although I must admit that I enjoy fighting with the people who call me mean names in the review comments.

I’m still kinda pissed about Lizzy offing a Comstock that was minding his own business.

Is this 2-body physics or approximated n-body?
- Comment on Demo now available for Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter 5 weeks ago:
I was onboard with this series until CS4. I hate the stupid bracer points system. I always need to use a guide to make sure I get all the stuff, but it always drags me down, since it takes forever.
By CS4, I just completely lost track of WTF is going on, and quit midway through.
- Comment on Demo now available for Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter 5 weeks ago:
Trails from Zero? Renne and the Sky protags showing up isn’t connected to the rest of the series?

If Walmart hates you and won’t let you sell with them, then you had might as well sell at a local shop anyway to get some return on investment, yeah?
