- Comment on Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says 4 hours ago:
They did do a lot of teasing of the moon and the Crystal Palace space station, but there are also signs in-game about a high-speed rail line to Chicago opening in 2080. So the “Chicago but wrong” descriptor might be exactly what it says on the tin.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says 1 day ago:
Before they get too far, can someone please make sure they have the rights to Joe Walsh’s “In The City” this time? It would be fantastic music for an intro, outro, or act break.
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 6 days ago:
Not gonna lie, I was hoping they’d use some Law of Surprise stuff to give Geralt a new ward and let you create your own Witcher. But, if instead I get to do teleport strike bullshit with Ciri’s powers, I’ll be content.
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 4 weeks ago:
Try to find the nearest shaman, apothecary or herbalist and trade my future clothes/pocket contents for some hallucinogens and painless poison. I ain’t living through a time before electricity.
- Comment on I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game 5 weeks ago:
If you liked BG3 and Divinity 2, I’m obligated to mention the Pathfinder games: Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous. The graphics are a touch simple, but the writing is great and the detailed character building scratches an itch for me. As far as I’m concerned, Owlcat is currently the only real competition Larian has.
- Comment on Why are popes always really old? 5 weeks ago:
If nominated I will not run. If elected I will not serve.
- Comment on Suggestions for mouse only games? 1 month ago:
Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous too.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 1 month ago:
Can anyone recommend a distro (and desktop environment?) that’s going to be almost the same as desktop mode on the Steam deck? I’m getting more comfortable in that than I expected to be in any Linux, and to my surprise and delight I haven’t had to delve into the command line at all yet.
- Comment on What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man? 1 month ago:
I saw that one thrown around when I was searching before. I wouldn’t really be playing it for the story, but as long as the story’s there, should I be familiar with the first two?
- Comment on First-party Switch 2 games—including re-releases—all run either $70 or $80 1 month ago:
You probably want a dedicated game, but I have a lot of fun with Dragon Kart in Yakuza: Like a Dragon.

There’s so much I want to like about Warframe, but last time I tried it I couldn’t get any sense of what a new player’s supposed to do to start progressing, or to get the story in a comprehensible way. The build timers also made me sad. I got all the parts, just give me the Rhino.
Still though, “We All Lift Together” is a certified banger.
- Comment on What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man? 1 month ago:
Ah, maybe that’s the missing ingredient. Pretty sure I don’t have that yet. I fucked off from the main story almost immediately to go find balloons and such.
- Comment on What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man? 1 month ago:
Ooh, I wasn’t thinking of first-person games, but that does look pretty gnarly.
- Comment on What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man? 1 month ago:
Oh damn, it’s descended from Hulk UD? I loved that game, definitely one that was on my mind for this type of game. I’ll certainly be checking this one out then.
- Comment on What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man? 1 month ago:
Oh yeah, I remember seeing that one, but I never got around to trying it. Sort of a grimdark/knockoff Venom version of Infamous, yeah?

WotR is so fucking good. But a quick PSA for anyone interested: Install the Bubble Buffs mod so you don’t have to spend 5 minutes casting your 37 buffs before every large fight.
- Comment on What are your favorite Switch exclusives? 2 months ago:
No, but it looks like there’s a demo I can try.

- Comment on What movies have you watched this week? 2 months ago:
Yeah, I think so. There are 4k remasters of both on youtube.
Bride of Re-Animator (2nd one) is good, and still pretty coherent (for Re-Animator anyway). It’s also got one of my favorite speeches from West. It’s based off the chapters of the Lovecraft story the first one didn’t cover. It kicks off with West and Cain from the first one trying to rebuild Meg from spare parts.
Beyond Re-Animator is, if I’m honest, a narrative mess with plot holes you could drive a truck through, but it’s still pretty fun. It’s not based on the Lovecraft story at all, they made up some stuff with West in a prison for the actual 13 years since the last one. A new prison doctor who’s been following his work helps him make some new reagent and shit gets out of hand.
Beyond has some of my favorite undead in the series though. A junkie gets a vial and shoots up with it, while he’s still alive. It goes… poorly.
- Comment on What movies have you watched this week? 2 months ago:
After rewatching Justice League Unlimited last week and remembering he voiced The Question, I’ve been having myself a little Jeffrey Combs film fest.
Watched all 3 Re-Animators and The Frighteners. I’ll probably keep it going with From Beyond and/or Castle Freak, neither of which I’ve seen yet.

“this asshole”

Yes! You get what I’m looking for exactly.

Nah, Witchistan’s national anthem is much more of a banger.
- Comment on Emulating PS2 for my Steam Deck, would love any recommendations! 2 months ago:
Listen to this person and also play Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction.
- Comment on 'Zombie' spiders infected by never-before-seen fungus discovered on grounds of destroyed Irish castle 3 months ago:
Well they had to after Attenborough pointed out that the original name looked like “bang bus”.
- Comment on what was the last game you played in 2024? 4 months ago:
Guardians of the Galaxy. The gameplay could have been a bit better, but otherwise it was fantastic. Better than any of the movies except the end of 2.
- Comment on The Hunt For Gollum Won’t Be Two Films, But A Second LOTR Film Is Incoming, Philippa Boyens Confirms 7 months ago:
Look, either make “Ken Burns’ The Silmarillion” already or let the franchise rest.
