I really enjoy both games, but I agree the gameplay in 1 is god awful. 2 is very similar but they expand on some of the mechanics to make it more engaging. The story of those games do all the heavy lifting, without that no one would have looked twice at them.

I loved the ship controls and traveling around exploring the planets, but the story and puzzles didn’t interest me much lol

I don’t understand the popularity of it because I don’t understand how people even get into today. There’s so much going on with dozens of characters it would take months or even years to memorize everything. I played Apex on and off since it released and I feel it is starting to become the same thing. Every time I play now I feel like no one who has ever played before would be interested in the game.
- Comment on The overlooked hardcore FPS: Is Insurgency: Sandstorm still worth playing in 2026? (A detailed review) 4 days ago:
The insurgency games are great! There was something about the first game I liked a bit more. I miss some of its maps, I feel it had a few better maps for sniping. But it’s really been too long for me to remember the other things I missed.
When I was a kid I liked to play CoD campaigns on veteran difficulty and make my way through the levels as tactically as possible. Insurgency Sandstorm feels like how I wanted those CoD campaigns to play. I think the best choice the devs made was making all weapons and gear available from the start. Nothing feels worse than getting into a competitive shooter and all the veteran players have better equipment.

I was working as an HVAC installer when I played What Remains of Edith Fitch and I remember being really impressed when you go into the attic of the house and the developers modeled the air handler with all of the flex duct running to each room of the house. There aren’t too many games with that level of detail for something most people playing it wouldn’t even know about lol

The staff one makes sense to me. When I worked at pizza hut instead of a pizza cutter, we had a big curved knife with a handle that protruded both sides. It was really nice to visually line up a perfectly through-the-center cut. The staff knife on the pic is actually very similar, just with a spinning blade.

There’s a show called Love, Death, and Robots. I was jokingly confusing your comment for that show.

As someone who actively sails the high seas, the devs and publisher of Factorio don’t really hit any of the marks for why I would pirate something in the first place.

Funny that Club Penguin made it into the picture. It’s one of the earliest games I can remember that pushed subscriptions and micro transactions and was aimed heavily at young children.

You’re right it’s fiction, anything goes. There’s nothing wrong with it as is then.
- Comment on Breaking: BAD 2 months ago:
Idk the original seems more plausible than getting a job with the DEA as an inside guy and cooking meth on the side with cartels lol
But what the heck do I know about real life meth producers

Its not a requirement to be a complete dipshit to have underground connections. But the one complete dipshit that Walter knew did have those underground connections, so he probably didn’t think to keep looking for someone else. Walter was a high school science teacher with no friends, how would he have gone about looking for someone to sell meth for him?
- Comment on Breaking: BAD 2 months ago:
One of my favorite shows ever, but Walter was one of the biggest pieces of shit lol. I guess I can say I rooted for him when it came to going after Todd’s crew at the end, but he deserved everything bad that happened to him otherwise.

I’m in the US but it varies state to state. Some states are dirt cheap while others are insanely high. Probably 8 to 10 dollars a pack on average around me

I know it’s common for actors to not really eat when filming a scene in which the character is eating but it almost adds to the joke that we never really see them eating the pistachios. They’re just fidgeting with the bags and chewing on nothing.

Now smoking is much more financially responsible than eating pistachios

The English dub of the anime Monster has a really funny interaction between the main character (Japanese), a young child (German), and an older couple (English).
Despite the voice actors all speaking English, the main character and child communicate in German. The main character also knows English so he can communicate with the English couple. There are scenes in which they are all together and the Japanese guy has to translate what they are saying to each other, but to the viewer they are all speaking English. The kid and old couple just won’t directly talk to each other.

The customization in this game is great so games can be as small or large as you’d like. I’ve set up games that take as little as 15 minutes. The campaign also starts off with small games that take about half an hour. It was my first RTS so I’m sure it took me much longer as I wasn’t familiar with the general strategy of those kind of games.

I hope this post is. My cousin made a similar post on social media about owning a house. He was ranting that the current generation was lazy and didn’t know how to budget. Everyone should easily be able to buy a house. The house he owned was bought with the money he made by selling his first house which was inherited. Some people are really just that dumb.
- Comment on Bethesda announces a new Fallout... reality show 4 months ago:
I guess I’m truly not understanding the comparison. I do not see the similarity between having a series ruined because an actor is a sexual predator and having a series ruined because you don’t like the sequel. Not sure what part of those scenarios you were comparing, but I’m just not seeing it.
- Comment on Bethesda announces a new Fallout... reality show 4 months ago:
The crime doesn’t have to equate? Why bring up Kevin Spacey’s crimes at all? How is that relevant to not liking the direction a franchise went?
I don’t feel that “this franchise went in a bad direction, so now I can’t enjoy the previous works” is anything like “this person is a sexual predator, so now I can’t enjoy their previous works”.
It would be really awkward to watch a known sexual predator in a movie, even if the movie predates the crime. The existence of the Fallout TV show has no effect on Fallout 1 as a game.
What a weird turn this conversation took lol
