- Comment on The Black Phone 2 director describes the sequel as a high school coming-of-age film 13 hours ago:
I wonder if it’s going to go for the “how does the survivor deal with what happened to them and try to live a normal life” angle. I’ve always wanted a movie like that.
- Comment on Alien: Romulus is getting a VHS release 1 day ago:
I kinda liked the uncanny valley from it in this because it made him look more like an android
- Comment on Hi-Rez Studios announces February 17th shutdown for Realm Royale and Divine Knockout 2 days ago:
Yeah I’m never going to play any of their games now in case I enjoy them.
- Comment on Hi-Rez Studios announces February 17th shutdown for Realm Royale and Divine Knockout 2 days ago:
Fucking awful. I loved DKO and haven’t found a replacement for it yet. It had such good potential but they fucked up initially marketing it (the whole pay to access a f2p beta with the ability to get it free outright from giveaways) and then refusing to be transparent about updates and future dev for over a year just letting it slowly die.
- Comment on Are there any recent-ish single player, complete games that are similar to Rise of Nations and would work on Mac or at least on WINE? 6 days ago:
I’ve not played it yet but beyond all reason is a new rts that’s free and i don’t think it’s “free to play” free either but i might be wrong about that

I’ve got CDs I’ve had for 25+ years and they’re still fine
- Comment on Inside the ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ Debacle: Todd Phillips ‘Wanted Nothing to Do’ With DC on the $200 Million Misfire 1 week ago:
Just like how the first film showed that not everything we saw was what actually happened and a lot of it is just unreliable narration?
- Comment on Keir Starmer pins economic growth hopes on British Hollywood with new tax relief 1 week ago:
We need the wealthy to be taxed more
- Comment on Inside the ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ Debacle: Todd Phillips ‘Wanted Nothing to Do’ With DC on the $200 Million Misfire 1 week ago:
The original was never meant to be comic book accurate, so why expect the sequel to be as well?
- Comment on Keir Starmer pins economic growth hopes on British Hollywood with new tax relief 1 week ago:
We need more taxation not less of it!
- Comment on Where are they now? 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s taking about their characters, not the actors
- Comment on A New Dawn | Halo Studios 2 weeks ago:
5 was the only I never played because i never had an Xbox past the 360. Is there a massive jump between the end of that and 6?

That’s good to know
- Comment on Balatro nominated for THREE Golden Joystick Awards! 2 weeks ago:
Absolutely, done effects are a must stay on, even when consuming other media at the same time
- Comment on Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Dev Says Big Budget Games Are Failing in Part Because Teams Are Over-Scoping Their Projects 2 weeks ago:
That’s the thing, had no idea there were specific story missions or where to do them
- Comment on Balatro nominated for THREE Golden Joystick Awards! 2 weeks ago:
Nah the sound effects are fantastic. Definitely adds to the weird vibe the game has
- Comment on Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Dev Says Big Budget Games Are Failing in Part Because Teams Are Over-Scoping Their Projects 2 weeks ago:
For other games that would be described as development hell
- Comment on Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Dev Says Big Budget Games Are Failing in Part Because Teams Are Over-Scoping Their Projects 2 weeks ago:
Warframe feels just as riddled though with all of its different kinds of currencies and crafting mechanics. It may not have an egregious mtx model but the game loop around it still feels like it’s meant to. I much more enjoyed the game in beta when it was simpler. I go on it now and I haven’t got a fucking clue what to do, fumble around for an hour and just decide to play something else instead.

After what feels like 20 years, it still being in alpha should worry you more than if this current state was called a beta.
- Comment on Disney lost nearly a third of a billion dollars on two Marvel movies 2 weeks ago:
100% agree. Wandavision ducted from this too. I really enjoyed every episode except the last.
- Comment on New Playstation firmware is going to make it harder to play games offline. 2 weeks ago:
People have a hard on for steam though so they give it a pass for everything.
- Comment on Disney lost nearly a third of a billion dollars on two Marvel movies 2 weeks ago:
I can think of a number of films that are about one character that I need both my hands for. In fact once another one comes out I’ll need a third.
Spider-Man
- Comment on Disney lost nearly a third of a billion dollars on two Marvel movies 2 weeks ago:
I loved Shang chi, but hated the third act. I just wanted more of what the rest of the film gave us. I was hoping for a Jackie Chan-esque set piece ending. But instead we got budget infinity war.

In the UK things like that get checked when it comes to grants, they will usually only be valid purchases if spent with approved companies.

- Comment on PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off 3 weeks ago:
I think it is intended behaviour, but it’s not meant to be a system wide thing. I can see this being useful for multiplayer and live service games.
- Comment on PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off 3 weeks ago:
It’s not an ad per se. They’re replacing the key art and game logo with the picture and title of the latest news post for the game you’re on.
- Comment on PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off 3 weeks ago:
It’s not an algorithm, it’s just the latest news for the game. The news feature has been a part of ps5 since the beginning. This is replacing key art with the picture for the news article/video and the title replacing the games logo.

- Comment on Compulsory Meat In Schools Should Be Scrapped, Says Dale Vince 3 weeks ago:
It could also be seen as less personal gain and more that he put his money where is mouth is and made a company to actually do what he’s been proposing schools need to do. Now they have the avenue to do so.
