Not gonna lie, at half when the Thunder were down I decided to go to the gym instead of sit on the couch.
It was me. My act of watching was making the Thunder play bad. I’m the problem.
- Comment on Three years later, the Steam Deck has dominated handheld PC gaming 4 weeks ago:
Now that it has been three years, while I’d like to have one, I feel like I’ll just wait until whatever the next version is - even if that means waiting another year or so.
I don’t need one, particularly, and I don’t want to be caught at the tail end of this hardware.

For real. Thunder should have won with the lead they had.
But, in basketball, no 20 point lead is safe.

I hate this dumbshit as much as trump, but we shouldn’t be sharing fake twitter posts. It doesn’t help anything.

This is that Tom and Jerry bit where Tom sticks the shotgun into the mouse hole and it comes out of the wall pointed right back at him and he shoots himself in the face.
- Comment on PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why 1 month ago:
Unless the game has its own subscription, like Final Fantasy XIV.
Unless that has changed over the years. I’m not sure.
- Comment on Is Civilization 7 not fun? 1 month ago:
Yeah, I now have six hours in the game between last night and today. I actually finally just stopped after a few hour stretch.
I’m having fun! But I also have seen some bugs. I can get behind waiting if some smaller bugs are annoying, but I’m enjoying the game quite a bit.
I’m pretty happy that it runs alright on my Mac Mini M4. Starts up quick and gets going. It defaults to High settings but I turned the shadows down a bit just to keep things a little smoother.

Wild there was only one game today.
I’m glad the Thunder won.
- Comment on Looks like Horizon's unannounced MMO has been quietly cancelled 2 months ago:
Yeah, that’s a fair point, actually.
- Comment on Looks like Horizon's unannounced MMO has been quietly cancelled 2 months ago:
At least someone at Sony saw some reason.
I can’t think of any human being who wanted a live service Horizon and God of War.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealed 2 months ago:
Correct.
I would like to think you could pair old joycons to it in a pinch since outside of that new button on the right joycon they look exactly the same.
But, yeah, when it runs out of juice you’d have to stick them back on the old switch or use a third party charger.
But we’ll see, for sure.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealed 2 months ago:
Mouse mode has been rumored, and some leaks have shown what could be an optical sensor on the joy con.
Also, if you take your current joy cons and place them on their side like that, they surprisingly feel pretty great as a mouse. Shoulder button for min click, and your thumb hits the four face buttons. I could see it working pretty well.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealed 2 months ago:
In theory the old joy cons could still connect to the system via bluetooth, just not attach to the console itself. So maybe that keeps Ring Fit in play for the system.
- Comment on Atomfall | Official Gameplay Overview Trailer 2 months ago:
A few years ago I think I’d agree, but I feel like at this point it’s a super lazy naming scheme, to be honest.
Don’t have a good name? Just slap “-fall” on the end of some noun.
- Comment on Atomfall | Official Gameplay Overview Trailer 2 months ago:
Another entry in the long running “-fall” series of games.
(For real, it’s weird how so many game have “fall” in their name if you start paying attention to it.)
- Comment on Cavs top Thunder in the best game of the season so far 2 months ago:
For a moment this felt like a Ty Jerome revenge game from being traded from the Thunder. He came out and couldn’t miss for a while.

Nervous about this game.

- Comment on Balatro dev shares an excellent list of his favourite indie games of 2024 2 months ago:
Animal Well is also my game of the year.
No other game was more interesting and exciting when you found something new. Or solved a puzzle.
While on the surface it’s a simple Metroid style game, once you start noticing things it becomes so intriguing. I have a document on my iPad full of handwritten notes and maps. It felt so novel to return to a feeling of the late 80s where paper maps and notes were king.
While there were a lot of great games last year, I put so much more brainpower into Animal Well, and it felt so good to do so.

It’ll be perfect on that!
- Comment on What did everyone grab during the Steam Winter Sale? 2 months ago:
You’re welcome!
When you die in this game there’s no real penalty other than going back to the last checkpoint. So even if you leveled up or something you keep that, you just might go back a few screens. It’s great!
- Comment on What did everyone grab during the Steam Winter Sale? 2 months ago:
I don’t use steam too much, but I did get Minishoot Adventures, and it’s excellent.
It’s like if Zelda was a bullet hell. The base difficulty isn’t too hard, but it’s challenging enough. And you get to explore and do dungeons. It’s really fun.
