- Comment on A Loss To The World - Legendary Doom Wolfenstein 3D Composer Bobby Prince Has Passed Away 2 days ago:
I was about to say he wasn’t even that old. But 81, damn. I love his stories on Doom. He had never really done any metal before which is why so many of the tracks are similar to real songs. Also Into Sandy’s City being done with piano until he set it to a harpsichord as a joke and bam, instantly iconic. Like most of his work at the time, really. RIP to one of the guys that gave me the music taste I have today.
- Comment on Any other games that have a similar vibe to My Summer Car? 1 week ago:
Raft is kind of like this. You’re basically told nothing and you’re out at sea on a raft that you can then build with stuff you find.
It was not for me, but almost entirely for the reasons you want a game like this, from what I’m reading.

Meanwhile fans of the series have been tuned in to E Day for like 2 years.
- Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam 1 week ago:
Seems to me the only fixing they’re doing is fixing the prices lower than other clients.
Rather than what you usually hear with price fixing, where prices go up. Like Amazon with Levi jeans.
- Comment on Valve to no longer offer physical gift cards due to scammers 1 week ago:
Only thing is gullible boomers are way less likely to buy a gift card online. Because they won’t be able to figure it out.

You paid $500 for a Switch 1?

Now imagine what being attractive feels like.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Sure, but if you want to do no work and go on trips all over the world for free, all you gotta do is take a gander at some Instagram “influencers” to see where I’m coming from.
Alternately you can just be born rich. That usually helps.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Have you tried being hot and having your online bio say you’re an “influencer”? Because then it’s easy.

There are cheat codes. They’re just for the wealthy.

If this isn’t the most Xbox thing I’ve heard in a short, short while.
- Comment on Valve hikes Steam Deck prices by more than 40%, blaming rising costs 3 weeks ago:
I’d pass too if I had a laptop that I could just bring places. Let alone the streaming thing.
- Comment on Even the worst among us sacrifice 3 weeks ago:
Pretty close, but in the modern day it’s over a meter longer and like a foot wider. It’s noticeably bigger.

Thanks, fuckface, I know why.
- Comment on The Bad Beer That’s an Incredible Beverage 4 weeks ago:
In that regard, I buy Coors Banquet solely because it’s 5% and costs the same as Lite. And when I’m really feeling down bad, I can go for the 5.9% IceHouse for even cheaper.

I have called my cat all of these at various times. Wonderful.

Oh yeahhh, they made a third one too. I forgot about that.
- Comment on Day 671 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 4 weeks ago:
The original game did have 5 lap races which were reused in Super Circuit.
On your other point, Maximum Velocity is indeed extremely clunky to me too. I very much prefer the two that came after. Although it seems like a ton of people love Maximum Velocity. It’s not bad. It’s just, in my opinion, entirely overshadowed by its successors.
- Comment on Day 671 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 4 weeks ago:
I never got drifting down in this game. I can do it in every other Mario Kart including the original, but not this game. Was also the first game I ever got new as a kid so I hold it close. I still remember the absolute pants shitting that occurred when I realized you could race on the retro tracks. That opened my mind to older games, and is partly why I’m here today. The other two reasons are my grandparents Atari 5200, and AVGN.

That’s exactly the boat I’m in. I want to play another traditional Zelda, and so Dusk is great timing. Problem is I’m playing other things currently and now we have the Ocarina remake rumors which I may just wait for. But as soon as I finish that, back to Twilight Princess it is.
- Comment on Day 669 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 5 weeks ago:
Still my favorite Zelda game. You should check out the Dusk decomp mod that just came out. It looks great.
- Comment on Hands On with the Anbernic RG Rotate: Weird, Unique, and Instantly my Favorite 5 weeks ago:
This looks neat. But I already have an Analogue Pocket which seems to do everything this does, and a little bit more, except for being the same size when closed.

Living in Chicago, that’s the reason why I like these driving games. I can finally just fucking go without some cockgoblin straddling two lanes, using the shoulder to pass, and sitting at a green light.
- Comment on Nintendo is raising the price of the Switch 2, blaming 'market conditions' 1 month ago:
Glad I already got one then. I even said, it’ll never be cheaper than it is now, at launch. And un-fucking-fortunately I was right. I did not want to be right.
- Comment on 7 Eleven 1 month ago:
I swear I remember a time when midgrade was 10 cents higher and premium was 10 cents higher than that. My car also enjoys premium and it’s got me wanting to ask for a few days work from home.
