- Comment on Diablo speedrunners searched 2.2 billion random dungeon seeds to debunk a two-decade old speedrun record 3 days ago:
I ujderstand it from a “if every single level was the optional level, this what the best possible rin would be level.” Tool assisted speed running before that was a thing.
The fact that levels in that spliced game were faked makes it all pointless through.

Dan is the best. One of the best old school YouTuber essayists. He really leans into a topic and interrogates it from every direction.
Hes got great videos on the metaverse, crypto scams and hilariously, the complexity of making cooling videos.
- Comment on Anon sets up a prank at school 6 days ago:
You give woefully underfunded school IT departments too much credit, especially in the “desktops are new tech” days.
Honestly, sounds like your Mississippi school was ahead of the curve from a lockdown perspective.
- Comment on Amplitude announce Endless Legend 2, an oceanic 4X with Manor Lords outfit Hooded Horse as publisher 4 weeks ago:
Extremely lopsided balance between factions. Most had interesting mechanics, some basically useless and some wildly overpowered. Apparently the new-ish aqua faction has an overwhelming mobility advantage, things like that.
They added these game changing titans to the game at one point that you could defeat and employ, but this was either just luck of the draw or not possible for some factions.
Combat was meh go boring, generally. The “look at us go” turn based zoom in fights were very boring to watch, and more boring to play.
The game dragged. Just dragged, to finish. I played dozens of times, and i dont think i fully finished the game more than maybe 3 times.
All that said, the games world building, plot, and overall interesting mechanics makes me hopeful for this sequel. If they can keep the fascinating lore going and fix the “game” issues, i’ll be there for it.

Its been what, 8 years since the original switch was released?
They had plenty of time to decide on a better name.

- Comment on Firaxis reveal Sid Meier's Civilization VII system requirements for Linux 1 month ago:
Popular distro or one based on it. Pop-os is Ubuntu based and has always worked well for gaming. Its maintainted bt system76, a solid hardware vendor.
The fact they pulled all the snap bloat out also is a win win.
- Comment on What games have you sunk the most time into? 1 month ago:
Look for the “vanilla expanded” mods.
It is a dedicated and organized team of modders that has output a stunning amount of content, all of it cohesive, and what many would consider required “base game” content.
They have literally put out dozens of mlds that coupd be standalone DLC, all for free.
- Comment on What did everyone grab during the Steam Winter Sale? 1 month ago:
The talos principle 1 & 2. Playing through 1 now, and it’s excellent. Some of the puzzles are complex, but most can be solved in 5-10 minutes and gove a nice “ah-ha!” moment.It reminds me of portal 2, but with a heavier and more ambiguous story about the nature of life and consciousness. Highly recommended.
Also been playing some dome keeper and Peglin. Both also excellent in their own ways.

Nah, hes the number 1 homeless ticketer in the city. He clearly enjoys it.
He also knew it was the wrong thing to do so he narrated an excuse to his body cam when he drove off.
- Comment on Frostpunk creators cancel "Project 8" and lay off staff amid concerns that "narrative-driven, story-rich games" don't sell 2 months ago:
2d isometric vs 3d first person. One format clearly lets stories breathe better, but that doesn’t mean half life isn’t story driven.

Rogue tower is another great game with rogue in its name.
Fantastic tower defense.
- Comment on Funko, BrandShield speak out about itch.io takedown 2 months ago:
They didnt issue a DMCA takedown request, which has a legslly prescribed back and forth
They ijstead told the registar itch.io was committing phishing/fraud crimes. The registar clearly knee jerked on being told the domain was illegal, but it was Funko and their vendor Brandshield that lied about that in the first place.

And yet Blackwater has renamed itself again and again.
Apparently there is a “whoops, too much” level of villainy, even for villain factories.
- Comment on Vice Undercover imagines an alternate past where '80s drug lords had the internet, so obviously you've gotta hack 'em 2 months ago:
I have no doubt that there were “drug lord” amounts of drugs around 80s David Bowie.

They’ve got 18 other people to see that day, and most of them probably want help. Might as well go help them.

- Comment on What are your favorite "gotta go in blind" games? 2 months ago:
Its something of a mystery game. You wake up in an unfamiliar place and have a nebulous goal.
Letting the clues of the story build is a big part of the experience.
- Comment on TURKEY POWER 2 months ago:
The fun part of this is this is true of any 1GW power source. We have been deploying solar+battery arrays in that range recently for much less money and much faster than nuclear.
Thanks nuclear power for pointing out useful large scale solar+battery is too!

Most hot sauce is mainly vinegar. It doesnt really have a shelf life, but if so, it’s years and years.
Im betting that no, whoever has got the staircase full isn’t going to use them all, but they will use some. At that stage, it’s a collector enjoying collecting a foodstuff.

- Comment on punchable babies 2 months ago:
Hes not kidding. The cgi on the child is horrifying for a “blockbuster” movie.
Very much movie execs going “why spend time and money on CGI when these idiots will go anyway?”
- Comment on Humble creating a bundle for this game is wild 2 months ago:
You can still customize it, but it has hard minimum at what I think is $7. The old humble had no minimum at all.
IGN leaning in to make its money back, most likely.
- Comment on Humble creating a bundle for this game is wild 2 months ago:
They sold to IGN a few years ago.
It was also when they introduced a $7 minimum humble tip for the bundles

Seriously. This included a $900 payment to his convicted sex trafficing friend, the same friend convicted for sex trafficking this same girl gaetz raped, for “school tuition.”
They were just having fun with their child rape.
