- Comment on 2025 Game Awards Results Discussion 1 week ago:
Sad my GOTY Death Stranding 2 didn’t win anything. But oh well. I hadn’t played Clair yet so I stayed it today. It’s good so far. Don’t know if it’ll top my Norman Reedus with a Fetus* yet though.
I actually think it’s time to retire flute guy. I think flute guy has jumped the shark, bringing in pvc pipe whatever instruments that you can’t even hear. You had your time in the sun flute guy.
Overall, I thought the show was OK. They need better pacing on when they are actually giving out awards. It seemed like there was a stretch of an hour where no awards were announced.
And I agree with the whole of the internet that the last trailer was a fat lot of nothing. Sorry to that team for working on a “dead” genre for years. I only say “dead” because by this point everyone has picked their game they like in that genre, and trying to add a new one right now is a terrible idea.

- Comment on The Game Awards begins 11 hours from now. What are you looking forward to? 1 week ago:
Give me some WOODKID performing songs from Death Stranding 2.
I need a good cry.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Honestly, if I was really into AC still I’d be ok paying for the work of some devs of a five year old game if it made some good quality of life upgrades.
- Comment on Left 4 Dead co-creator is directing a mysterious co-op shooter for JJ Abrams' production company, and Sony's going to publish it: "We hope to deliver a bold, innovative experience" 2 weeks ago:
JJ Abrams?
The Star Wars JJ Abrams?
- Comment on Best vertical games on Android? 3 weeks ago:
It’s an older game, but Downwell is fun. Just a little action/arcade game where you fall down a well and try to get combos by not touching the ground by bouncing off of enemies.
- Comment on Palworld dev isn’t impressed by "so-called" AAA, prefers indies since they "include the kind of systems you can’t find in other games" 3 weeks ago:
I feel like this is pretty reductive, really, to blanket all AAA games as one thing that are all bad. Just like all indie games aren’t great. In fact, the vast majority are kinda trash, really.
For every Call of Duty, you can find amazing games like Death Stranding 2 that have insane budgets but swing for the fences (and succeed in my opinion). And on the flip side for every Silksong you have three million, anime-girl-on-the-cover trash indie game.
There’s no “one is better than the other” when comparing the totality of AAA vs indie.

The Thunder really hated they dropped a game to these guys.

I mean, I just need that photo of him in that hat.
- Comment on THIS is real. There is an app that allows you to text with Jesus 5 weeks ago:
I see they went with “white Jesus” instead of what he actually looked like.
- Comment on [Post Game Megathread] Nov 9-15 1 month ago:
Thunder really tried to lose this one for a big portion of the game then remembered how to shoot and defend.
- Comment on Red Dead Redemption 2 overtakes Mario Kart 8 as the 4th best-selling video game of all time, boasting 79 million sales 1 month ago:
Rockstar probably: “Well we just can’t afford to do a 60fps patch with these sales numbers…”
(I know it’s because they are greedy shits and just want to do a HD version or something on PS6.)
- Comment on Get over yourself 1 month ago:
I’m over here bringing in like 4 reusable bags (one is a pink tote I got from a work thing years ago) so I can not only pack three times the groceries in one bag but also not take a plastic bag I have to then recycle somehow.

- Comment on Monster Hunter Wilds is getting outsold by its 4-year-old predecessor 1 month ago:
I’m not a big MH head or anything, so MH Wilds was my first game in the series. And I enjoyed it a lot!
HOWEVER, playing online with my brothers took so much trial and error we only did it a few times until we beat the story. Then it kinda wasn’t worth the hassle.
It’s so obtuse I can’t imagine how it even got that obtuse.
- Comment on Remedy CEO Tero Virtala steps down after nine years 1 month ago:
Yeah AW1 honestly isn’t that fun. I played about half of it and then just read the story and watched some videos about.
AW2, however, is excellent. Very very good. And I spent enough time with it to get the platinum trophy.
- Comment on Ex PlayStation exec says Sony can't keep "increasing the graphics power" with new consoles after tech plateau, but PS5 has already "made almost every game a better game" 2 months ago:
Just make it a law that every game has to use the Decima engine because Death Stranding 2 runs at 60fps, loads in basically 1 second, and is a contender for best looking game of the generation.
- Comment on Massive Pokemon leak purportedly covers next-gen games, scrapped ideas, and more 2 months ago:
Honestly, it’s looking like Monster Hunter Stories 3 will by my next “game where you collect monsters in some fashion” game.
- Comment on If Peter Molyneux had a time machine to remake his cursed cube game, 'what you would give, now, would be a cryptocurrency thing' 2 months ago:
Is this dude the biggest snake oil salesman in gaming?
I guess Fable was alright, but everything Peter promises seems to never manifest.
- Comment on Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed 2 months ago:
That’s why I don’t really use Steam to buy games anymore, too.
At least maybe use GoG if possible to get a DRM free version.
- Comment on Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed 2 months ago:
For me, when the Switch 1 came out it was just nice to have everything on the device and you never had to do the most heinous thing of taking a moment to put a cart into the device.
But more and more I buy one to two games a time and focus on those, so that issue is largely not a thing any more.
- Comment on Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed 2 months ago:
Honestly, I’ve kinda gone back to buying physical media.
I bought DK Bananza on cart, and guess what? After I finished it, I gave it to my brother. Imagine that! Sharing a game you own? Madness.
I’m eager to pick up Ghost of Yotei from the store this afternoon, as well.

Yeah, hurry and buy up, Gabe needs a new yacht!
- Comment on Charlie Kirk in his own words. 2 months ago:
I imagine he was talking about her decision to pull out of competition for a while due to mental health. (And now she’s back and crushing it again.)
Still makes him wrong. And he was still a racist asshole. But I bet that what he was on about.
- Comment on Civilization 7 developers Firaxis have laid off an unspecified number of workers, 2K confirm 3 months ago:
I have a friend who was laid off from there today. Definitely feel bad for them.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? 3 months ago:
Having only played BG3 and bouncing off of it relatively quick, I’d say the other one.
- Comment on Capcom settles it: No, Pragmata isn’t a secret Mega Man game 3 months ago:
Sure it isn’t wink wink
- Comment on Elden Ring on Switch 2 Is a Disaster in Handheld Mode - IGN 3 months ago:
Elden Ring, the game where people choose to play the PS4 version on the PS5 because the PS5 version isn’t optimized well, doesn’t run that great on the Switch 2?
Crazy.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed 4 months ago:
I do! I enjoy camera modes in games a lot, too. I like to look at the architecture in games because I think it’s fascinating.
For BF, though, I do think a little playground would be great. Since they have that map builder tool, I may end up just having to make one myself.
- Comment on Worst part about living in Europe 4 months ago:
I was very fortunate to go on a vacation last month in Belgium where we rode bikes to several different towns.
It was awesome, but the cobblestone streets in some of those old cities are ROUGH. Just bone shaking. The chain on the bike I was riding bounced off once when I needed to shift.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed 4 months ago:
I always liked going into older BF servers that weren’t so populated just to be able to get a lay of the land without being destroyed in three seconds.
Or to be able to use the vehicles and get used to them without as much threat.
Maybe I just want a mode that lets you free-roam maps…
