Guess the song’s over now.
Well gee, now I feel bad.

Among hardcore original Monkey Island fans, the third one (Curse of Monkey Island) was pretty liked when it was new, and the original writer, Ron Gilbert, even kinda disowned the game (he was not involved with it).
It’s my single favourite game of all time.

The True Crime games are great, and just in case you’re not aware, Sleeping Dogs is a spiritual successor.

Did they improve how picking up loot works? It was so bad I considered it near unplayable without a mod for that.
- Comment on Valve raises Steam Deck prices by more than $200 5 days ago:
Yeah I just commented the other day I was originally cautiously optimistic for CA$1,000 machine or frame but I just absolutely cannot see that happening now, I would be shocked if it’s under CA$1,500.
- Comment on Valve raises Steam Deck prices by more than $200 5 days ago:
Prices in Canada are insane. So much for an OLED upgrade.

Dusklight with the 4k texture mod is incredible. 4k 240 FPS. (or an easy 60 fps on steamdeck)

I just don’t understand how Expedition 33 can be considered indie. They literally have a publisher.

I’d admit, CA$20 would be appealing but I suspect it will be higher.

Paralives looks so good, but I don’t usually jump into early access. I hope the team earns enough to keep development up to 1.0, and hope that doesn’t take a decade lol.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 1 week ago:
People love to shit on the yearly FIFA releases, but if you genuinely can’t see any gameplay differences between one released in 2007 and 2026 then you’re either being disingenuous or haven’t actually played them.

That sounds cool, but I disagree that it’s the only way it could be cool. The dev’s other game, Mortuary Assistant, has a Paranormal Activity vibe and its genuinely a brilliant horror game.

- Comment on PS5 console sales drop 30% in April after price increase, while Switch 2 dominates 1 week ago:
Okay but the question was, “people are buying the Switch 2?” to which the answer, supported by it being the fastest selling console of Nintendo’s life, is an emphatic yes, they are.
- Comment on PS5 console sales drop 30% in April after price increase, while Switch 2 dominates 1 week ago:
It was Nintendo’s fastest selling console of all time. So, yes.

I hope you’re right. But in my anecdotal real life experience, the vast majority don’t care or are into it.

To be honest, I’m my experience those of us that are staunchly anti gen AI are a vocal minority.

- Comment on An 82-year-old YouTuber grandma was raided by police and SWATs during her live stream last night where she plays Minecraft to raise money for her grandsons cancer. Authorities brought 20 police cars 1 week ago:
It’s really easy to say that when you’re not the one calling the police because there’s an actual madman with a gun holding your loved one hostage. I think it’s a tough situation that, really, has more to do with the overall culture in America than how emergency services respond to particular calls. If the overall level of potential danger was lower due to cultural reasons, I think then we could talk.

It’s the ol’ “boy who cried wolf” situation. You probably don’t want public services like police and firefighters deciding which calls seem real or not.

The headline can already be interpreted the way you say as it’s written. The point is that they are related events, and worth framing together.
You also seem quite dismissive of Ross’ opinion considering he spearheaded the movement for a decade or so before it really took off in the last year.
Anywho, we clearly agree on much just not the merit of the article it seems. Have a good one!
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Stop Killing Games is selling legislation that would be satisfied by this scenario, correct. That does not mean that they cannot seek or want more, though. Ross often touches on this. Games don’t have to be designed this way. For example, peer to peer connections used to be more common in games. They are designed the way they are now largely so they can collect data from you. It is consumer hostile.
As for the second part, this again comes back to games not having to be designed that way. In Europe, consumers already have more lawful protections when purchasing software than in other parts of the world. And part of SKG’s argument to legislators right now is that game company’s terms are already illegal under EU law, or at the very least unclear.
If a game was designed with responsible end of life plans, for example, a company could absolutely make promises about how long a game will last. For example, guaranteeing one year of first party support and then release of necessary files for any third party support.

- Comment on PlayStation boss says single-player games won’t come to PC going forward | VGC 2 weeks ago:
People generally buy consoles because they are very simple, plug-n-play devices. Historically, they’ve also been able to produce cutting edge graphics for cheaper than a gaming PC, and although that price gap has narrowed over time I do still think it’s true by a bit. (People like to point out that this is not true when taking into account the average price of games on console vs PC, which is completely valid, but I’m talking about the hardware alone here)
