It always looked good, just played poorly.

Thank you! That’s a name I haven’t heard in a decade or so!

Now, what’s SFM?
- Comment on Senua's Saga: Hellblade II - Review Thread 5 weeks ago:
I totally expect this will be the last title before it gets closed.
- Comment on Trackmania 20th Anniversary: Desert Update Trailer 5 weeks ago:
Thanks! …and bummer. I’m not a fan of this iteration. Liked the crazy, almost photoreal style of earlier ones. The minimalist to-the-point aesthetic of 2020 one feels too utilitarian to me.
- Comment on Trackmania 20th Anniversary: Desert Update Trailer 5 weeks ago:
I don’t get it. Is it a new graphics update for the original game or for 1/3 of the original trilogy? Is it a new timesheet for current trackmania? Is it a new title?
I loved the original dessert, it was easily my favorite of the first environments.
- Comment on What produced the old dead channel tv static audiovisuals on tvs? 2 months ago:
Ha I remember that. I also recall someone in the 80s there was a pop song popular in Poland, entitled “Glass Weather”. It was about these rainy autumn evenings when there’s nothing better to do than sit in front of your (black and white) TV. The lyrics were mentioning “apartment window blue from the TV glow”.
- Comment on What produced the old dead channel tv static audiovisuals on tvs? 2 months ago:
This is a very non scientific answer, but when I was a kid (good 40 years ago) I remember having a science book that called TV static “an echo of the big bang”. I guess that would mean just randomly scattered energy bouncing around on all bands?..
I could probably Google it and give you an answer, but I’ll just wait for someone with a more convincingly and authoritatively written reply.
- Comment on Horizon Forbidden West is now available on PC 2 months ago:
Feels to me like some folks just want to give due warning to help others from throwing money away. I don’t think most are being negative for negativity’s sake - but I may just be too optimistic about the state of the discourse.
- Comment on confident gamers interview Biowave Ceo 5 months ago:
Took me forever to internalize the title and realize this indeed has nothing to do with Bioware.
- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion 5 months ago:
Yakuza 2 on Steam Deck, after completing (not 100%) Y0 and Y1. Planning to keep playing them in order, until Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth comes out.
I’m new to the series, and loving it. Can’t wait to get back home (traveling now) and move from Deck to my PC, high resolution and maxed quality.
- Comment on Saints Row – free to keep today on Epic Games Store 5 months ago:
I use Epic launcher for all my Unreal work. Still, I can’t be bothered to turn on the games store and redeem free games - while willingly paying for new ones on Steam. The UX is just that bad.
- Comment on Is the word Alphabet literally just a conjunction made from the first two letters of the Greek alphabet? 5 months ago:
Fun fact - in Polish language the word alfabet exists as a technical name of the alphabet. There is also a more casual word, often used by children: abecadło which is basically polish way of saying “The ABCs”.

Great pick. Awesome song from the good days of Tim.
- Comment on How to remove smell from lunch box? 5 months ago:
Doesn’t the bubbly reaction do anything? It sure looks impressive.
- Comment on How to remove smell from lunch box? 6 months ago:
Whenever I’m in doubt about cleaning, I try sprinkling a good amount of baking soda and then pouring copious amounts of vinegar, then letting it do its thing. It’s an inexpensive experiment to try and could solve your problem.
- Comment on i made a speadsheet to get through my backlog a while ago and today i hit my milestone for the year. 6 months ago:
THAT’s a long list? I have more unplayed titles INSTALLED than this whole spreadsheet. I once attempted to create a system to organize my backlog but just gave up due to volume. I think I may have a game hoarding problem.
- Comment on Ignorance is only really appreciated in retrospect. But the damage happens in the present. So how do we avoid the damage? 6 months ago:
I like to remind myself Tim Minchin’s song “The Fence” and remember that I don’t always have to have the answer or the opinion on every single topic. vimeo.com/410679852
- Comment on [News] The Game Awards is Giving Away 100 Steam Deck OLEDs During Show - Steam Deck HQ 6 months ago:
Yea, I typically also don’t care much for their live performances, the orchestra and “funny commercial interruptions” not to mention endless Game Pass ads.
- Comment on [News] The Game Awards is Giving Away 100 Steam Deck OLEDs During Show - Steam Deck HQ 6 months ago:
Nothing will make me watch this thing live. The ability to fast forward is essential for this show and I do so through 80% of the duration.
- Comment on Did Amazon change their theme colors or did I unknowingly change them myself? 7 months ago:
Could be a black Friday palette swap?
- Comment on Half-Life: 25th Anniversary Documentary 7 months ago:
So good. New best HL1 documentary since the one noclip did about a year ago.
- Comment on Grown Adult Coward: 'I'm OK With Just Watching Alan Wake II' - Aftermath 7 months ago:
With no steam release I’m taking the same route. Love looking at remedy games, don’t enjoy playing them.
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
The 2008 Prince of Persia.
What was expected to be a start of a series revival, flopped and ended up with a kinda messy PC port, platform exclusive DLC epilogue and eventually abandonment in favor of return to sands of time mythos.
Meanwhile it is my favorite entry in the series - with amazing art direction, and lovely character development and vocal performances by two main characters. The gameplay is a cross of guitar hero and parkour - it’s much more rhythm based and perhaps less expensive, but pulling off a perfect run feels soooo good.
I love the game so much that even though I’m not a YouTuber, I created a full playthrough and published it - just so I can stop wanting to play it again every few years.

- Comment on Military Time vs 24hr? 8 months ago:
Look up the “theory of American exceptionalism”. In short there is a very strong belief here that America is one of a kind and things that may work for others simply don’t apply here.
Explains why the US stocks a 12hr clock, messed up month/day/year mission, imperial measurement and a ton of other things that any foreigner will find anywhere from quirky to infuriating.
IMHO the exceptionalism theory is a b.s. lazy way of keeping things conservative and unchanged and shutting down any discussion of uncomfortable progress.
- Comment on Elite Dangerous studio Frontier Developments announce layoffs and "organisational review" 8 months ago:
I may be wrong, but I think they completely discounted console updates (and probably will do so with PC too). Ellie in VR was something to behold though. Hours of fun.
