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 week 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 2 weeks 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 ?? 2 weeks 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.

Krafton is paying out $3 for every $1 earned. They made a shit deal.

Temptation intensifies
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Well it’s usually cheaper during early access. I got the game for $32, so you could just grab it and then wait for full release.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
I’m never usually an early access person, but Unknown Worlds has a proven track record. They’ve released two games from early access after a very open development period. Plus they fuck over Krafton if it sells well, so win win IMHO.
- Comment on Destiny 2 is dead: "active development" ends next month after one final update, but Bungie says the MMO will still be "playable" 4 weeks ago:
Yeah I own Destiny 2, but when I converted to Linux, I stopped playing it. It wasn’t good enough to dual boot for one game.

As someone who has lived in the Midwest most of my life, people absolutely walk around in shorts and T-shirts after the temp jumps post-winter.

- Comment on What gaming console you owned disappointed you the most and why ? 5 weeks ago:
My Xbox 360 RRoD’ed on me twice.
It also had its disc drive die THE DAY I got Skyrim on release after waiting in line for it.
I spent the next several hours learning how to flash the firmware of a broken RRoD’ed Xbox 360 so that I could replace my drive with its parts.
It was simultaneously the best and worst console I ever owned:
Best because I have a lot of fond memories playing Halo 3 multiplayer, Skyrim, etc. with my friends in my college apartment we all shared.
Worst because it was an unreliable piece of shit.

- Comment on StarFox (N64 Remake) Gameplay Reveal 1 month ago:
Kind of. Game Freak isn’t a subsidiary of Nintendo, but they work VERY closely together to the point that Nintendo has a lot of say.
- Comment on StarFox (N64 Remake) Gameplay Reveal 1 month ago:
I mean…Zelda ToTK was basically “BotW, but better and with Garry’s Mod”.
Almost every Pokemon game has been the same formula, but with a few new things sprinkled in. Legends Arceus was one of the biggest departures in recent memory, but it was still a lot of the same, but 3D open world.
Mario Kart is 80% the same with maybe double carts, flying mechanics, etc. added in. This time they added a kinda sorta open world.
They change the formula a bit, but their innovation is usually leaving the base that works alone and adding a flavor packet.
- Comment on StarFox (N64 Remake) Gameplay Reveal 1 month ago:
Nintendo has had very few original ideas in a long time. They know they can just keep churning out remakes and sequels to their franchise library of Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Starfox, Pokemon, etc. and keep raking in the cash, so why change the formula?
People buy this shit, so there is no motivation to do anything else.

WTF is a “horse girl”? Umamusume? Is that some anime thing I’m not weeb enough to know?
I’m afraid to ask these questions because I feel like I’m always so disappointed in the answer.

They have other comics that specifically are about trans people and anti-LGBTQ+ messages. Top comment in this thread links to a few.
