- Comment on ‘Seeking connection’: the video game (Arc Raiders) where players stopped shooting and started talking... 22 hours ago:
A shame. You could’ve seen the people who yell I’M FRIENDLY I’M FRIENDLY before shooting you in the head.
- Comment on AAA Dominance Is Eroding: 56% of PC Gaming Revenue Now Goes to Games Outside the Top 20 1 day ago:
I pirate my music and keep it in my local storage.

I favor saying 行きましょう myself.
- Comment on Game franchises you like, but wish were anothet genre of video game? 3 days ago:
Dreamfall Chapters feels like it should be a crossover between Mass Effect and Dragon Age. But it actually plays like a Telltale game.
Mary Skelter should’ve had gameplay like Dragon Age, except you play as the support guy while your party members do most of the fighting, with you calling in when teammates should use their skills. Teammates in Mary Skelter have a habit of going insane, and the only way to calm them down is to have your support guy fix em.
Girls Frontline should’ve been an offline turn based strategy game. The gacha gatekeeps it from too many people.
- Comment on Game franchises you like, but wish were anothet genre of video game? 3 days ago:
The AEGIS system in the original really sucked though. It’s the one thing Legends improved.
- Comment on Google removed Doki-Doki Literature Club from the Play Store for depicting sensitive themes that violate their terms of service. 5 days ago:
DDLC is pretty tame when compared to the various visuals novels out there. If Google hates DDLC, then I’m pretty sure they would go crazy over any Russian VNs that made it onto the Play Store. Those have a bunch of sensitive material.
- Comment on Does the engine a game uses factor into your decision to buy it or not? 1 week ago:
I have a grudge against Phyre Engine and Artemis Engine. So not those. I have no issues with other engines.
- Comment on Anyone else looking forward to the new Starfield dlc and update? 1 week ago:
I enjoy watching oboeshoes play it. He gives Starfield playthroughs some flavor.
- Comment on How long until the rise of games with mods turns into user created games. 2 weeks ago:
Some have already tried that. There are some games where there’s basically zero base game and the devs want the players to fill in the content. Since such games start out with nothing, no one makes mods for them, and so the games die in obscurity. Ever hear of S&box?
That said, the people behind RPGMaker have a lot of this covered. They provide a good stock of assets to let people build stuff out of the box. This lets people create content quick, which eventually brings in the people that know what they’re doing, which results in good stuff.
- Comment on I've had enough shimmying along ledges and squeezing through cracks sideways to last me a lifetime 2 weeks ago:
- Comment on What was the worst movie to game adapation you've played? 2 weeks ago:
Men in Black (1997). I played this as a kid. Think of this like playing Call of Duty with RE1’s camera and tank controls.
Goblet of Fire. Complete trash compared to what came before.
Speaking of which, Deathly Hallows Part 1. Everything about it was awful. Part 2 at least has a decent action shooter combat system, but it didn’t feel Harry Potter at all.
- Comment on Owlcat is using generative AI for The Expanse Osiris Reborn, but the final game will be "100% human made" 2 weeks ago:
Guarantee they still have a chip on their shoulder about their art teacher telling them to stop using stick figures back in the day.
- Comment on List of 3rd person shooter-3D platformer hybrids I know of (and looking for more) 3 weeks ago:
Bounty Hunter - This is a really fun one. You play as Jango, hunting a rogue Jedi. You platform around with jumping, climbing, and using your jetpack. I think you’ll like it.
If you can find them, the Harry Potter games (Years 1-3 from the early 2000s) should count. They have lots of 3D platforming. Spells work like flintlock guns, since it takes a few seconds to fire another one.
- Comment on I've had enough shimmying along ledges and squeezing through cracks sideways to last me a lifetime 3 weeks ago:
Oh, you’d love the Hololive game I played recently. You shimmy along the wall, sure, but you shimmy as a temporary 2D image projected onto the wall.

- Comment on Steam :: About the New York Attorney General lawsuit against Valve 5 weeks ago:
Oh, that’s easy. Find some kids who gambled and make an example out of them on national TV. Problem solved!
- Comment on Ubisoft could rely heavily on microtransactions and live-service Assassin's Creed games 5 weeks ago:
Pretty sure these guys want to make an Assassins’ Creed gacha game.
Ezio limited banner is up for the next month! Soft pity (odds increase) at 80 pulls! Hard pity (guarantee pull) at 160 pulls! Pull for Ezio today! Ezio will not go to standard when his banner ends!
- Comment on Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii says English translations inevitably strip away a lot of a game's "flavor" 5 weeks ago:
Much appreciated. I believe that it’s possible to own a shotgun in Japan for the purpose of hunting, but getting one is extremely regulated and difficult.
- Comment on Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii says English translations inevitably strip away a lot of a game's "flavor" 5 weeks ago:
Unlike places like the US, people in Japan aren’t really supposed to have guns. So if some dude kicks your door in, threatens you with a knife, and then you shoot him with a gun you’re not supposed to have, you could still go to jail for illegal possession of a gun.
Even the Yakuza are hesitant to use guns.
- Comment on Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii says English translations inevitably strip away a lot of a game's "flavor" 5 weeks ago:
Having done it myself, I find several big issues with Japanese -> English translation:
- Honorifics. Referring to someone with -kun or -chan or -sama or -bucho all have very different connotations. Sure, you could just include the honorifics as is but I don’t think that many people unfamiliar with the Japanese language know what -kohai means.
- Culture: Even if the translation is perfect, characters may act in bizarre ways for Westerners. “He knows that guy is evil, so why doesn’t he shoot him?” “Shooting people is very serious shit in Japan.” "Well no one told me!"
- Puns: The big one. To give an English -> Japanese example, how do you translate the joke, “I no that!”? Joke being, the “no” implies that the speaker doesn’t actually know what “that” is, with the “no” taking the place of “know” since they sound the same. “No” in Japan is “iie”, and “know” is “shiru”. They don’t sound alike at all, so how do you do it? Japanese is filled with puns like this, and most of them are completely lost on Westerners.
That said, I do support translators for giving Westerners a variant of the Japanese version. But there’s no mistake that a lot is lost.
- Comment on Is there anything like a strategy version of KSP? 5 weeks ago:
It sorta counts if you’re okay with a 2D KSP.
You have to plan out your ship design, like KSP. And you have to exploit weaknesses in enemy ships to take them out. You also have to deal with inertia when flying around.
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 5 weeks ago:
There’s a recent one that came from China called The Real Face of a VTuber. It’s pretty good, and borrows heavily from Ace Attorney gameplay.
I’m pretty sure this one ( The Bygone Days of Her and the Flowers ) is a Genshin spinoff with Ace Attorney gameplay and surprisingly high production value, but there’s no English translation.
Whispers of the Luminaries counts for sure, and appears to be coming out either this month or the next. It also has a great demo to try out.
In Rose Academy, you collect clues on the murder, but I haven’t found anything where you actually use the clues in the demo. It’s unquestionably a mystery, though. This game comes out early April.
- Comment on Microsoft Confirms 'Project Helix,' a Next-Gen Xbox That Can Run PC Games 5 weeks ago:
Steam fixes a lot of that with Proton.
The stuff you can’t really do on Linux is anything with Kernel Anti-Cheat, which you don’t want infesting your device anyways.
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 5 weeks ago:
I’ve been enjoying the advances in escape room games. mc2games makes some good ones.
The HL2 VR mods are pretty good if you have a headset. Reloading a gun with your physical hands is pretty immersive.
There’s been a silent rise in mystery-themed (Ace Attorney adjacent) games in the East recently. The mysteries get better and better.
Russian games have been innovating a bit to attract Western customers. “No I’m not Human” is one of those. There are also some Russian visual novels that are good thrillers.
Of the games China makes that aren’t gachaslop, some have tried to innovate. This one syncs what the character doing with real world time. So if it would take 10 minutes for a character to do something, it would take 10 actual minutes. The game doesn’t even have to be on during those 10 minutes, so it can be something where you check in every now and then.

That was a good series.
- Comment on Next Fest demo for indie game about the Moon's impending collision with Earth 1 month ago:
Last one. Everyone’s pretty much out of options for actually stopping it, and a big theme is preventing the remaining people from snapping under the pressure of the world’s imminent end.
