- Comment on I want a new retro Final Fantasy 17 hours ago:
Oh wow, Small Saga reminds me of The Rescuers or Secret of Nimh. That’s definitely going on the list!
- Comment on I want a new retro Final Fantasy 1 day ago:
It’s more Chrono Trigger than Final Fantasy, but I’m keeping an eye on Threads of Time.
store.steampowered.com/app/…/Threads_of_Time/
No release date or demo yet, but all the previews look sick as fuck. Hopefully they don’t fumble this.
- Comment on Anon passes gas for the first time in their life, gets scared 1 day ago:
If these people knew anything about parascience they’d see that CLEARLY anon was possessed by a ghost who died of constipation, and who used anon’s body as a conduit to release the ecto-shit weighing them down to this plane. Ecto-shit, being ghostly, is of course invisible to the naked human eye.
- Comment on What is a game that you know is bad but really enjoy(ed)? 1 day ago:
By all accounts, Quest 64 ranked somewhere between runny dog shit and aggressive bone cancer, but I was just enthralled with it as a kid. Actually kind of bummed when I got a Switch and it wasn’t on the retro games subscription thing.

You forgot about the essence of the game. It’s about the cones.

Super cool of you! Could I please get Contraption Maker? I used to absolutely love those Incredible Machine games as a kid.

- Comment on in depth dual- and multi-classing? 5 weeks ago:
If you don’t need super fancy graphics and don’t mind some walls of text, both of Owlcat’s Pathfinder games, Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous, are absurdly intricate character builders. There are probably 20 classes, close to 100 subclasses? You can generally mix and match them as you wish other than not being able to take two sublasses of the same class.
Both games also include a roguelike mode DLC that can be played separate from the main campaign, which are mostly combat and great for testing new builds.
Do yourself a favor and install the mods that let you define your standard buff set and cast it as a macro. Otherwise you’re gonna spend a lot of time manual buffing between fights.

Wow, Molly grew up way too pretty to be Miles’ daughter. That girl’s half-Riker for sure.
- Comment on What is the type of singing in this track called? 5 weeks ago:
I did mean the older style they’re emulating, yeah. Maybe I wasn’t looking for old enough music, or looking too hard toward jazz. I’ll check those out, see if I can figure out what I heard before that sounded like this.

- Comment on The Most Horrifying Sci-Fi Story Ever Written 2 months ago:
I don’t know about “most horrifying”, but I spent the last couple hours reading it, and it’s pretty damn good. Just… be prepared for 2 or 3 really graphic and fucked up torture scenes (that the victim willingly agrees to).
The whole Death Jockey thing is kind of shocking and terrible, but also seems like a perfectly understandable result of making everyone immortal and needless.

Oh, diver. I thought i was going to see an octopus attempt a carjacking.
- Comment on Please suggest me Comedy Based Games 2 months ago:
Both MediEvil games on PS1. Yes they’re kind of dated now, but I’ll always have a soft spot for Sir Daniel Fortesque and his skeleton slapstick.

Here’s the thing. You said a “bigfoot is a yeti.”
Is it in the same family? Yes. No one’s arguing that.
As someone who is a scientist who studies yeti I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls bigfoot a yeti.
- Comment on PlayStation Studios Removes Nearly All PC References From Websites 2 months ago:
It’s like having a machine where you put a $5 bill in and a $50 bill comes out, but these chucklefucks are going “I dunno, five whole dollars? Seems expensive.”
- Comment on The first new Heroes of Might and Magic strategy game in over 10 years will launch this month 2 months ago:
The 6-8 trilogy is what introduced me to it, so it’s one of those, but it shifts every time I replay them. Probably 7, but I played them back to back a few months ago and 6 does have the more expansive maps to explore.
4/5 are great too, for the classic grid style ones. I never touched 9, I heard it was pretty bad. I picked up 10 in a sale a while back, and it looks like a pretty good mix of the 4/5 and 6-8 styles (3d, but grid-based). I’ve been really preoccupied with some other long games since then though, so I haven’t tried that one too much.

Me, a fan of the actual base Might and Magic series:
- Comment on Anon is really into Mass Effect 2 months ago:
There are plenty of humans gooning to Asari and Quarians right now, and they’re fictional. Why wouldn’t the situation be mirrored if we actually met another species with roughly analogous anatomy?
- Comment on Owlcat is using generative AI for The Expanse Osiris Reborn, but the final game will be "100% human made" 2 months ago:
Fuuuuck. I don’t really care about this one, but now I’m worried they’re slopping up Dark Heresy too.

Bongos, error beeps, and the wails of the damned.

Sure, but what about Warhammer?

Damn dude, that’s comprehensive as fuck.
Maybe you can confirm if I have some other stuff down that you didn’t mention? I poked my head down some wiki rabbit holes, and I love a good origin story so I started looking waaay back.
So the Warp is an alternate dimension affected by the thoughts and emotions of sentient beings from this one, and also apparently a place souls do or would go before being reincarnated? As we evolved and started having more of us and more complex negative emotions, these eddies in the Warp coalesced into Khorne, Tzeentch, and Nurgle.
Earth’s shamans (proto-psykers?) start to notice their fellows aren’t reincarnating so much anymore and figure out the chaos gods are nomming them up in the Warp when they die. They get every shaman on earth together in a council, and decide on a Jonestown Voltron plan, whereby they’ll all kill themselves at once, fuse into a mega-soul in the Warp, and give the chaos gods good wallop to send them running for awhile.
That shaman Voltron soul incarnates in 8000 BCE as the boy that will one day be the Emperor.
Emps just kind of does the Vandal Savage thing on Earth until we get a spacefaring civilization rolling. He starts leading shit, allies with the Mechanicus on Mars and founds the Imperium in the late 30th millenium.
Unrelated and around the same time, the Aeldari (hedonistic space elves) have a rave orgy so good they cause Slaanesh to form and simultaneously fuck open that hole to the Warp someone mentioned.
Yadda yadda yadda space crusade Yadda yadda yadda Horus Heresy Yadda yadda “In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.”
Is that more or less on-point? I haven’t looked into most xenos too much besides the Aeldari waking Slaanesh. I think the T’au are the galactic newbies and kinda space dwarves? And the Nekrons were far far away genetically engineering slave races while Emps was still shitting his loincloth?

Something about the expression and composition on that little Pepe comic reminds me of old Mad magazines.
