It’s one of my all-time favorites. Excellent color palette! I need to come back and play this one now that I actually have a GPU that can do RTX without having to use frame gen.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
I’ve bought and played them all. Presequel and BL4 are wasted money in my eyes.
After 4, I’ll never buy one again. I am a huge BL3 fan and 4 was just a soulless cash grab.
- Comment on Capcom isn't worried about PlayStation and Nintendo shrinking the physical games market: "90% of our unit sales are digital" 1 week ago:
Also the RE series is widely popular on Steam. We play almost everything Capcom makes and it’s always on PC.
- Comment on Bloodbath Ahead For EA As It Looks To Cut $700 Million In Annual Costs Under Saudi Arabia 1 week ago:
Should have made something worth playing in the last 10+ years then.
These legacy studios with expensive old heads are going to be a thing of the past.

Socialism for the cooperate class

I’d rather have the ability to pickup an extra shift when times are tough. I have my friends that are on a strict 40 hour week and when the check doesn’t cut it they are fucked. OT has allowed me a lot of luxuries I otherwise would have had to scrimp and save for.
Meanwhile most people are fucked if their car breaks down. I just pick up an extra shift and the problem goes away.
- Comment on Anon is 23 2 weeks ago:
It always has been. That’s why alternate history is taught.
- Comment on Anon is 23 2 weeks ago:
Yup two years ago I worked just over 3500 hours. I basically lived at work to help put my wife through college and hold down the fort.
It was very difficult but worth it.
- Comment on Anon is 23 2 weeks ago:
Trade work is admirable work. Never downplay fields that allow overtime. My best salary years are in an industry that allows unlimited OT.
- Comment on Anon is 23 2 weeks ago:
My group of buddies always say that if gaming hadn’t become so wildly popular a revolution started by young men would have happened already.
The US is really good at placating the masses with media. Stay distracted, stay oppressed.
- Comment on What’s a reasonable tip for a barber? (America) 2 weeks ago:
The real fix is that nobody shows up to do the job that doesn’t get paid by the employer or tipped by the customer. Force the worker to do something else and suddenly wages increase due to worker scarcity.
Garbage truck drivers don’t make good money out of the kindness of Waste Management’s heart. Nobody wants to do that job so the price for the employee goes up.
Americans are just too stupid to realize that when a customer doesn’t tip, it’s not the customers fault the employee isn’t getting paid. I wish the country would wake up already.
- Comment on What’s a reasonable tip for a barber? (America) 2 weeks ago:
Nobody gets offended by tips here because if you’re working for tips you are poor.
It’s pretty awful that all of the service people make shit wage, but if they’d just band together and unionize things would get better. Assholes in corporate America can’t show up without a good haircut. Barbers should strike for a month and see what that does to their wages.
- Comment on Miyamoto: Games based on developers’ personal interests resonate around the world, not those aiming for global appeal | VGC 3 weeks ago:
It’s the same thing we see with Star Wars. It was a nerdy thing a guy made and the world loved it. Now it’s a corporate market research driven machine that lacks a soul.
- Comment on Xbox Backward Compatibility on PC 3 weeks ago:
Haven’t ever used it yet but it comes with Emudeck. My emulation backlog is a mile long so maybe someday will get to OG Xbox lol
- Comment on Drop OSS - an open-source, self-hosted alternative to platforms like Steam and Epic. 3 weeks ago:
Good, fuck em.
- Comment on Xbox Backward Compatibility on PC 3 weeks ago:
Loved that game as a kid, and still have my OG copy.
It wasn’t until going back and playing as an adult that I recognized Timothy Omundson as the lead VA. Loved him in Psych and in Supernatural. Apparently he voiced various characters is KoTOR 2 and I desperately need to replay that as an adult.
- Comment on The Great Steam Deck Crash of 2026: How The New Pricing Slashed Demand by 80% 3 weeks ago:
My only regret was not getting the white special edition one, but my OLED is fantastic. Especially with the Satisfye grip. Endless comfort playing slay the spire and Pokemon ROMs.
- Comment on Valve says there's no end in sight to the memory crisis, and prices are only going to increase: 'Honestly, it's still getting worse' 3 weeks ago:
I am in the same boat. I have 28TB of storage, but I am sad I didn’t buy more. I will be hoping that these drives hold on until the prices return to semi-normal.
I stayed on AM4 and DDR4. I have been getting the absolute most out of that socket. Same B450 motherboard and swapped out my 3600 for a 5800x3D when prices were dirt cheap for that chip. I won’t upgrade until it dies or I can’t run the games I want anymore.
- Comment on Alternative medicine 3 weeks ago:
I’m convinced that conservatives wake up in the morning and just choose something to be mad at. Green MnM losing her high heels, gas stoves, Starbucks, avocado toast, etc.
- Comment on Valve says there's no end in sight to the memory crisis, and prices are only going to increase: 'Honestly, it's still getting worse' 3 weeks ago:
Glad I stocked up on all my gaming hardware before all these price increases. I don’t see the need to upgrade anything for quite some time. If the hobby stays expensive in 5-7 years I’ll likely just downsize to a single ecosystem instead of having them all.
- Comment on Two ICE agents in plain clothes punched and tried to handcuff an Australian man at Las Vegas Airport. When they saw they were being filmed, they quickly left. 3 weeks ago:
Yeah talk about a bootlicker. This is the equivalent of a Walmart greeter telling me to back up from a situation like this.
- Comment on Day 732 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 4 weeks ago:
This is my problem with almost all 7th-generation games. They are largely muddy, brown, and dark. I almost never go back and play 3d games from this era.
- Comment on Marvel’s Wolverine - Ain’t No Hero Trailer | PS5 Games 4 weeks ago:
Yeah I could see that. The gameplay is definitely dated.
- Comment on Marvel’s Wolverine - Ain’t No Hero Trailer | PS5 Games 4 weeks ago:
I am a huge Wolverine fan and loved the Spider-Man games. I don’t really want to give Sony my money for this game, and I don’t feel the same draw to play it as I did for Spider-Man.
Not sure why but I don’t really care about it as much as I thought I would.
- Comment on Should I buy a Switch 2 despite owning an OLED? 4 weeks ago:
I have my OLED switch and bought a NW2 for Pokopia, Winds/Waves, TOTK upgrade, and DK.
Nintendo makes the best AAA games and if they aren’t out now they will be. OoT is out this fall and that alone is worth the purchase.
My OLED will be a backup for the future. Great little device and who knows maybe it’ll be jailbroken someday like my 3DS.
- Comment on I agree with don 4 weeks ago:
Sit at home on my Japanese toilet with a heated seat, stand everywhere else. Heated toilet seat is blissful.
- Comment on Why in America is .08 the legal limit for drunk driving? How come it's not an even 0.10? Who decided at what level being drunk starts? Then 4 beers of 12oz's is 0.08 why is it that small? 4 weeks ago:
There are zero health benefits from alcohol that outweigh the drawbacks. As someone in medical, your comment is outdated misinformation people use to rationalize their drinking.
I like whiskey but I am not under the guise that it is anyway helpful to my body.
- Comment on Bethesda Union Workers To Protest Mass Layoffs Next Week 5 weeks ago:
Unions need to strike. It’s the only way to stop the massive layoffs that are hitting the other studios MS owns.
Stop all work immediately and strike. They are likely to lose their jobs anyways so what’s the point.
- Comment on Palworld v1.0 - Official Release Changelog 5 weeks ago:
Had no idea those games were related. Makes more interested to follow Pocketpair’s publishing endeavors.
