  The obvious of the fan favorite. But also, the show comes off as a lot more YA than the game since they went with a more flippant immature attitude developing their romance instead of the more serious, driven attitude from the game.

  They should have made Ellie take Joel’s role and Dina take Ellie’s role.

  I didn’t hate it. But they had a template.

  I don’t mind changes. But it should serve a purpose. Fewer zombies makes sense to me. It’s not a video game, the suspension of disbelief is different. I like a seeing clickers basically equate to somebody probably dying. Bill made a ton of sense for a TV show.

  But changing Tommy’s role, Ellie’s entire personality, their relationship, it made everything worse.

  12 isn’t

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cookie Clicker coming to Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X/S⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been riding Adventure Capitalist on my PS5, which doesn’t really require fast clicking. But it doesn’t have the events, so it’s been kind of slow going.

  I’ll probably pick this up so I can forget about it for a month and then update.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 5 years in, PS5 sales remain neck-and-neck with PS4 | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This headline would imply that PS4 users are upgrading to PS5 at almost the same rate that they upgraded or moved to the PS4.

  Honestly, it’s pretty surprising considering the PS4 is still kind of a current console. I’d think a lot of people would be satisfied staying with the PS4 and still getting most of the games that are coming out.

  I plan on trying out the PS2 emulator on my phone since I have a Backbone. Maybe when I get my next phone upgrade, my old phone will be a dedicated emulator.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Joel McHale’s ‘Animal Control’ and Denis Leary’s ‘Going Dutch’ Renewed at Fox for Next Season⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s had 3 seasons, and it’s gotten better. But I think it has found it’s voice already.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Joel McHale’s ‘Animal Control’ and Denis Leary’s ‘Going Dutch’ Renewed at Fox for Next Season⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good, Animal Control doesn’t compare to some of the best comedy television. But it’s consistently good and I’m always happy to see another episode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favorite indie game?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Rogue Legacy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify 30 minutes of uninterrupted... Just kidding⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a trap. Its been that way as long as I can remember. If any music service offers a longer ad for uninterrupted music, don’t do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any books, video games, comics or movies you think would work if adapted into a TV series?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What Remains of Edith Finch

  It would be beautiful and sad. Every episode could be directed by someone different with wildly different style, even as an anthology cartoon like The Boys: Diabolical. It would only need one season.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think Square Enix should remake other Final Fantasy entries?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would love FF8 if they could keep it faithful. But I’d be worried that they would overhaul it instead of tweaking it. The level scaling isn’t a problem, they just need to call out that it makes traditional grinding unnecessary.

  Drawing doesn’t need to go away. Just make it one full draw (100) and remove it from the enemy.

  Oh, and make magic more powerful so it’s useful to expend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oblivion remake is... really making it apparent how outdated Bethesda is in its approach to making games⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All I wanted from the remake was character models that didn’t look like cartoons and a leveling system that didn’t punish suboptimal builds, and by God that’s what they delivered.

  People keep clamoring for a Morrowind remake, and I disagree. It’s perfect the way it is. Oblivion NEEDED this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - Official Trailer (Available Today!)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All of the games have scaling of some kind (at least Morrowind and Skyrim do). Just as long as they make suboptimal builds viable rather than punishing, that’s all I need.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake Reveal Livestream (starts in 23 hours)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m hoping for remake. The game needs to abandon (or at least rework) their level scaling. It’s by far the worst implementation it that I’ve ever seen.

  Then make everything less orange, shiny, and bulbous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anbernic no longer shipping to the US⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m glad I got my (second) Anbernic earlier this month.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Puma picks colors and shades at random it seems.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I do, but most of mine are just black crew socks that just go in a pile together.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a cancelled game you really miss?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that was the only full price I’ve bought digitally, because my friend and I wanted to game share and play together.

  MMO shooter seems like an undeserved concept. Buy I guess you have the scope of Defiance with the polish of an MMO. Or you have the scope of Destiny and the polish of a normal shooter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a cancelled game you really miss?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Mag

  There’s something so special about the command structure, having your own squad v squad, while a whole other battle is taking place around you. But also that you could be pulled for extra resources if needed.

  I tried Hell Let Loose, but it’s too chaotic and open.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster is real - Eurogamer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I beat the entire thieves guild quest line starting at basically level 1 by using the strategy of “run fast”. There were some major flaws that kept me from loving that game properly, so I’m hoping it’s more user friendly with the remake. But I could definitely see a lot of charm in it.

  If it isn’t one of the ugliest games I’ve ever played though. Why is every character a shiny, pudgy, orange?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ellen Pompeo On Why She Hasn’t Left ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Completely: “That Would Make No Sense, Emotionally Or Financially”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Similar to costars that aren’t friends. Like, some people just work together.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the worst instance of plot armour on characters you've seen in TV?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not “official”. But it’s stated as the reason Cortana chose him over the other Spartans. I think it’s supposed to explain the video game retry nature of video games. But also why he survives random chance circumstances when others don’t.

  He’s also really good at surviving though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the worst instance of plot armour on characters you've seen in TV?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Similarly, The Master Chief (video games, but still) has literal luck on his side.

  Also, in Marvel it has been stated repeatedly that “something” keeps popular characters alive. Sometimes it is an actual reality warping character (eg. Franklin Richards) or sometimes explained in a more meta way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are you watching and, what do you recommend this week?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been putting the marathon stream of Samurai Jack on in the morning (on the Adult Swim app). It’s a pleasant way to start the day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mario Kart Should Cost More - YouTube⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  MMOs charge indefinitely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who call the PS1 'PSX' make me want to kill kittens⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never heard someone verbally say “PSX”. Does that happen?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 game-key cards won’t be account- or console-locked⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I assume people were worried about them pulling an Xbox, especially since they are largely the same concept.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the best "good-bad" TV series you've seen?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Most of the shows on here that I’ve seen looked pretty good before I watched them.

  So, Ghosts (U.S.).

  It’s not revolutionary or anything. But I’m laughing every episode. It honestly feels like it shouldn’t be as entertaining as it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 Game-Key Card Overview⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t like the idea of a game that can’t be played long after the servers have gone down.

  But I’m glad that it can still be traded or sold after purchase unlike what Xbox tried to do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Antony Starr is glad ‘The Boys’ is ending: “I don’t like seeing things outstay their welcome”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think they are suggesting Butcher had depth. Just that they think the core of the characters and what made them interesting was changed needlessly.

  By the way, I also loved the show Preacher and I’m glad they changed it from the comics. But I also understand being upset by it. Sometimes I want adaptations to get the core of the characters right and sometimes I’m totally fine with a more inspired interpretation of a story that I like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Iron Fist Actor Finn Jones Continues To Advocate For His MCU Return⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Get rid of the melodramatic attitude and don’t make the greatest martial artist in the world lose to a single goon.
