- Comment on Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions! 1 week ago:
I think of it as an RPG ruleset, like DnD. Most of FF games follow similar mechanics, class systems, sometimes there’s the same monsters, and sometimes there’s crystals that do stuff.
I agree though, FFX is really good.

Clearly a unicorn
- Comment on JFC, who did this?! 2 weeks ago:
I can totally agree with that. I found her to be one of the most humanly believable villains in any story I’ve seen or read. She’d fit in to so many real world situations as that exact person. Absolutely the kind of nut job you’d see having a meltdown tantrum as someone recorded her on their phone.

Right? King, who’s endorsed and even appeared in some of the worst adaptations of his books. He’s truly a master, but a movie writer he is not…
- Comment on JFC, who did this?! 2 weeks ago:
I strongly disagree… It was deus ex machina trash with a twist. Using the original ending would have left the audience wanting closure and not getting it. Instead, they wrapped it up nice and tight and King got to murder another kid.
- Comment on JFC, who did this?! 2 weeks ago:
I genuinely liked the movie, but hated the ending enough that it was years before I watched it again.
Anyone who hasn’t, go read the book. The ending is soooo much better and really had me hoping King would explore that whole world more… Easily one of my top five stories of his.

Remember how like… 5-10 years ago, games just… Kinda worked?
- Comment on Borderlands 4 Launches To Mostly Negative Steam Reviews Over Performance Issues And Crashing 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, if I remember right, the issue is that the typo breaks the system that tells the xenos how to behave in combat. They should use vents and try and flank you, but instead they just charge right at you.
Still a ton of other issues with the game, but that was huge.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 Launches To Mostly Negative Steam Reviews Over Performance Issues And Crashing 4 weeks ago:
Gonna just remind everyone, or tell anyone who isn’t familiar… Gearbox’s Colonial Marines has a typo in an ini file that breaks the game’s AI. Gearbox was made aware of it after a modder found it in 2018. They acknowledged it by making a joke, then did nothing…
As far as I know, that one letter typo is still there after 13 damn years.
- Comment on [Request] A good multiplayer mechwarrior-like game 4 weeks ago:
Daemon X Machina has a more fast paced mecha feeling. Very similar to the Armored Core games. Which makes a lot of sense, since Kenichiro Tsukuda and Shoji Kawamori are both behind it.

Which kills me, because it’s so much more work for such a bad job. I’d just have run it through an identifier like fontsquirrel’s matcherator.

Definitely Photoshopped…
I hate to say “You can tell by the pixels,” but you can. See the pixel offset on the font caused by skewing, like you said. Also the shitty clone tool job behind them.

They’re millionaires, so they just don’t care… They’re nice enough though, and at least they’re quiet and respectful any other time.

- Comment on We’re Suing Minecraft in a Class Action Lawsuit 1 month ago:
Going to copy my post over from the original for anyone wondering why:
I watched a few minutes of it and finally got to it… If I got it right, the guy suing them wanted to make a mod with guns. Mojang said no and got it shut down. He’s suing because he believes a company shouldn’t have any say over how users might modify their games.

We used to be that until some dumbass I’m our company fucked up our insurance plan. $20 for total telecare, it was awesome.
- Comment on THIS is true wisdom 1 month ago:
Our company has a policy that if you’re sick for 2 days or more, you have to have a doctors note to return. So faking sick comes with a price tag for me. Also, any time I’ve ever joked about being sick, I actually end up sick. I’ll just call around and get someone to cover for me, then tell my supervisor I’m taking a personal day instead of earning some bad karma.
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 2 months ago:
I got chewed out on reddit once for being “cheap” because I said tip before the tax. Guy was super pissed over what amounts to a difference of cents. Went off on a huge rant belittling me like I admitted to murdering puppies…
Like… Dude, if your whole life comes crashing down over a difference of 40¢, to the point that’s your reaction, maybe there’s a much bigger problem going on here?

Exactly, it literaly says in Control’s wiki, “inspired by paranormal stories about the fictional SCP Foundation.” I didn’t know the genre is now called “New Weird” though. I have some new authors to check out.
- Comment on If you were born after 1990, you've never had this experience 2 months ago:
The SCP Foundation is a secret organization dedicated to securing, containing, and protecting various anomalous entities. The website is an archive of top secret documents including entries for each entity, called an SCP followed by a number, containing a practical name, detailed description, the effects of the anomaly, experiments performed, containment methods, pictures, etc. Objects can be anything, benign looking household items, monsters, seemingly normal humans, etc. There’s nearly 5000 entries on the site. It’s a pretty fun time sink if you’re into short horror stories. Most of them only take a minute or two to read. There’s also multiple games, most notably SCP Containment Breach and tons of spinoff material.

- Comment on Secret of evermore has some gigeresque visuals. I should probably attempt to finish the game but here are some screenshots 2 months ago:
I don’t feel like the story telling was as good in Evermore. Secret of Mana grabbed me a lot more with it’s characters and it’s difficulty, and I always loved the plot despite some pretty obvious flaws. The music is still one of the best ever soundtracks too.
I think Evermore also got completely overshadowed by Chrono Trigger being released just 2 months before in the US.
