- Comment on Today in history: Ronald Reagan and the SS attempt to open a stuck car door. 13 hours ago:
Super Sport, and apparently not since they were the ones buying all of them. Funnily enough, modern video games have been removing the SS badges from the cars, which is kind of dumb at this point, but hey, you can always put them back with decals, I guess.
- Comment on PS6 and Xbox Project Helix "will start at a 50% higher price" than PS5 and Xbox Series X, predict analysts following Sony price hike – and $999 "is not impossible" 2 days ago:
My Xbox One was not worth $500 at all, ever during its lifespan. My Series X is solely a 360 Pro. I think I’m done with these. How the mighty have fallen.
- Comment on The unAbomber. Otherwise, I agree. 2 days ago:
The longer I
work in techexist, the more I want to move to a farm 50km from neighbours with just me, my partner, a couple dogs, chickens, and cows. - Comment on What was the first game you ever bought ? 3 days ago:
I remember my mom bringing me to Best Buy in spring 2004 right after I had gotten my Gamecube the previous Christmas. I bought Smash Melee and Mario Sunshine. I was 7 years old.
I had gotten games before then but those were the first two I was taken to the store to buy myself.
I still remember holding them as I walked down the aisle toward the registers. Aaaand that was the cheapest those two games ever got lol

- Comment on Nintendo Lowers Pricepoint For Digital Versions of Switch 2 Games 4 days ago:
Most of them do, yeah. There’s a big ugly box on the front of the ones that do not, so you can avoid them. Same with Switch 1 games that require a download.
- Comment on Epic CEO Tim Sweeney says 'employers will see a stream of resumes of once-in-a-lifetime quality' after the company laid off more than 1,000 people 4 days ago:
Remember back when this AI Slop jock jagoff was making great games? Feels like an eternity ago.
- Comment on this is what I mean when I say fragging btw 4 days ago:
Huh. I’ve always heard it used in id and Unreal games. Doom, Quake, Unreal Tournament. Those kinda things.

Covid gave everyone who graduated in 2019 and earlier another layer of job security.

Probably why his admins ban you for saying nazis deserve to be dead. Hits way too close to home for them.

It’s gonna be like 80 bucks isn’t it?

Same here. Was just about to post it in both threads lol
- Comment on Forza Horizon 6 requirements are out 5 days ago:
Looks like my 3070 is finally coming up against the wall. Only other game that made it chug was Oblivion Remastered. Maybe I should have gotten a 9070XT when they were $530… ah well.
- Comment on Guess this is where I’m at now 5 days ago:
I mean, the water isn’t running into your head while you’re doing it. You turn the water off when you shampoo? Don’t you get cold?
- Comment on where? 1 week ago:
Brewstew guy seems fun.
- Comment on so i have an ultimatum... 1 week ago:
Imagine the brilliance of Terry but without the insanity. Dude was trapped within his own mind.
- Comment on We Spoke To Game Devs And All Of Them Hate DLSS 5: 'What The F***, Nvidia?' 1 week ago:
10/10 he’s either some jerkoff CEO, some jerkoff tech bro, or some jerkoff shareholder.
- Comment on "Departures are necessary," Crystal Dynamics say as they yet again lay off Tomb Raider staff, but they're "fully committed" to the reboot and sequel 1 week ago:
I was about to make a joke about Playstation, but I can’t think of a good BluePoint pun.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Kind of related, but Gears of War 4 and especially 5 did the same exact thing to me. Talk about a right kick in the dick.
- Comment on Tim Apple calls for a rebellion! 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think they’ve been an underdog since the original Apple I in 1976. Shit, from the 40 year old magazine ads and Computer Chronicles episodes I’ve seen, they’ve always been overpriced in the consumer market.
- Comment on Xbox just revealed Gaming Copilot is coming to "current-generation consoles" later this year 2 weeks ago:
That’s what Microslop thinks.
- Comment on Xbox just revealed Gaming Copilot is coming to "current-generation consoles" later this year 2 weeks ago:
Okay so all 4 Series X consoles sold, including mine. I won’t use it, so that leaves 3 possibilities left.
- Comment on Epic Games needs Fortnite players to "help pay the bills" as the multi-billion-dollar company raises V-Bucks prices while making Battle Passes and Crew way worse in value 2 weeks ago:
Remember when Epic made Unreal and Gears of War? Now their CEO, same guy, btw, is some AI slop jock asshole. This doesn’t surprise me.
- Comment on Glorious cracked out wall kitten returns with more wisdom for the masses. 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s exactly why I do it. Now you get it.

- Comment on Are achievements still relevant in 2026—especially when mods disable them? 3 weeks ago:
I’m going back and getting some Xbox 360 achievements right now, but I don’t really do it in new games.
- Comment on Xbox Project Helix may cost $1,200 with massive performance upgrades 3 weeks ago:
Convenience is the sole reason the majority of my friends own consoles but no PC, still today. I have tried to convince them and they just will not. And now they can’t get a PC, so… eh.
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 3 weeks ago:
Ahhhh, very good point. I wonder if they just didn’t feel it was necessary to do, or there was some technical hurdle in the way. Here’s hoping they can get something going and maybe bring it to Win11 too so then the Linux guys can get to work on making it compatible.
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 3 weeks ago:
Right, but you cannot play those two games on PC. So if the new console PC hybrid uses Windows, I don’t forsee those games running. I may be missing something though.
- Comment on NextFest Thoughts 3 weeks ago:
Train Goes Right, I think it was called, is a relaxing physics-based isometric view, Sega Saturn/PS1-styled game where you build a railroad by hand.
You lay the ties, put the ballast down, place the rails down, and hammer everything in. Then you can hop in a handcart and ride your track you built. The trailer implies the full game will have actual train locomotives and stuff too. It’s very chill and a fun game to play in small spurts of time. You can save your progress and come back at any time so there is no sort of looming Majora’s Mask moon.
