Ori and the Blind Forest/Will of the Wisps: I picked up the first game in a Humble Bundle years ago and decided to play it randomly. Instantly became obsessed and then got the sequel when I beat it.

Edge uses the same rendering engine as Chrome. Web devs need to check to make sure different browsers respond to CSS, JavaScript, HTML, etc. the same way, as they all don’t necessarily do so, even though they should.
- Comment on Loosing my religion 3 weeks ago:
I have a few:
- When looking at the video feed from a night vision camera, my parents tried to convince me the white specs floating around were angels and souls watching over is (it was dust in the air refracting the infrared)
- Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton are part of a baby murdering cult were they skin baby faces to wear as masquerade masks
- Bill Gates is building COVID-19 nanites and putting them in the vaccines
- The whole QAnon conspiracy stuff they REALLY got into
- My wife and I are being controlled by the devil and now our kids are damned because we got them vaccinated, since it’s “The Mark of the Beast”.
My parents are estranged now. You can imagine why.
- Comment on Loosing my religion 3 weeks ago:
Yeah it’s actually incredible the mental gymnastics involved.
It’s also fun when a Republican is involved, because it’s “clearly overblown or fake”, but when it’s someone they don’t like, THEN it’s a problem.
- Comment on Loosing my religion 3 weeks ago:
My parents told me that the Clinton’s, Gates family, and other influential people go to masquerade parties where they murder babies and wear their skin ask masks. And they were 100% serious.
In the world of Epstein Island revelations, there is some fucked up stuff out there, but I’m pretty sure we’d know if people were mass slaughtering babies for fun.

My parents nearly didn’t let me read or watch Harry Potter “cuz witchcraft”. There is a lot of stupid out there.

As someone who grew up in a conservative, Baptist home, I can tell you that this 100% isn’t the most insane thing I’ve heard or seen, but it falls right in line.

True, but it at least covers all of the purchases actually made on the platform.

400-425F or 200C is pretty much universally the temperature, but yeah…somebody done goofed.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Average annual salary is slightly less than $70k annually in the US. A union that gets you even a meager 3% raise annually is ~$2100 in increased income or 3x what your dues is.
Bunch of fucking wankers.

- Comment on Sonic turns 35 today—what does this franchise mean to you? 5 weeks ago:
Sonic started my video game journey. I was a SEGA kid all in. I had a Genesis and a GameGear and played Sonic 1 through Sonic and Knuckles. I later played the Dreamcast, although I skipped the Saturn, because I was a kid and my parents couldn’t afford it.
However, once SEGA went under for game consoles and Sonic couldn’t transition from 2D to 3D worth a damn, I stopped playing the games. Sonic just wasn’t good anymore. Sonic Mania and Origins were both fun romps, but beyond that there hasn’t been a Sonic game to give a damn about in decades. Mania wasn’t developed by Sonic Team and you can tell…because it’s actually good. Origins is just a lesser Mania.
It’s pretty incredible to me that Sonic Team can continue to be one of the worst, most mediocre game development teams in the world and still somehow stay afloat. The Sonic movies were incredibly well done and fun, so you’d think they’d put out a great, fresh game to capitalize on it, but even with a literal golden platter in front of them handing the franchise a breath of fresh air, they then released Sonic Frontiers…the most “7/10” game I’ve ever seen in my life.
It used to hurt seeing my favorite franchise as a kid bludgeoned by Sonic Team over the years. Now it’s just sad.

Toys for Bob is making this game, the people who made the original trilogy remake. It’ll probably be done well. They seem to get it.

The irony in claiming you don’t type like that, but your entire comment is full of mangled punctuation and grammar, is hilarious.
- Comment on An Eye-Opening Experience 1 month ago:
This is a late-Gen Z/Gen A thing. They don’t use punctuation or capitalization anymore. Apparently they view it as too formal or “fake”. They relate it to “fake it til you make it” mentality in the workplace.
I know this is a “no the kids are wrong” take, but I just find it infuriating to read. I understand you want to be more genuine and I’m all for that…but if I can’t fucking read what you write because it’s 28 lines of all lower case, unpunctuated text…that’s not a “professional” versus “being genuine” problem. That’s broke ass communication.
- Comment on Anon plays World of Warcraft 1 month ago:
I played during the trial period once. I usually love games with fun gameplay loops that have a bit of grind, but I couldn’t get into WoW. It just didn’t feel fun. It felt like a job. I’m still not sure how it became the largest MMO ever made.
- Comment on What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ?? 1 month ago:
My games are less “nobody liked it” and more “a lot of people have never heard of or tried it”:
Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps
They’re absolute masterpieces. It’s like playing a video game version of a beautiful oil painting with incredibly tight movement controls. And the soundtrack…MY GOD is it good.
It’s one of those game series that I wish I could memory wipe to reply again. Sure, the story is a bit simplistic, but it hits the notes it needs to without dragging.
It’s one of the best Metroidvania games ever made, but it kind of fell into obscurity similar to other masterpieces like Titanfall 2.

Personally, I wouldn’t give AF if it was “fake”. Fake is perspective.
