Hello World!
- Comment on Would you prefer if games had a separate difficulty setting for boss fights? 1 year ago:
Agreed, I think the first game I saw this in was Tunic. It was a great addition!
- Comment on Would you prefer if games had a separate difficulty setting for boss fights? 1 year ago:
Right? When I was a kid I would specifically enjoy the “challenge” of trying to beat something over and over. Nowadays though… I just like playing a game for the experience. I still like feeling “progression”, so things go from difficult to easy as my character advances. But having to repeat something multiple times? Eh… just not my jam anymore.
- Comment on Would you prefer if games had a separate difficulty setting for boss fights? 1 year ago:
That’s actually what I tend to do, but would be nice (for laziness) to have two different settings. Or for cases where games don’t allow adjustment after starting.
Funny you bring up Kena, because that is actually probably a prime example for me too. Loved the rest of the game, but the boss fights were a bit too difficult imo!

- Comment on Anyone have good memories of (or still belong to) a gaming clan? 1 year ago:
I played a ton of StarCraft back in the day! I was never too serious about joining a clan (just dabbled), but I now remember some of the things you mentioned with the chat rooms, and clan “tags”. I might be imagining it, but wasn’t there also some way to set colors on letters in names too (holding down alt and pressing numbers or something…) That might have honestly been my first experience with “bots” for things adjacent to games.
Good memories, thanks very much for sharing!

That sounds amazing, it is good to hear there are still some groups that have kept in contact, even after all that time!
- Comment on Anyone have good memories of (or still belong to) a gaming clan? 1 year ago:
That’s awesome when you can organize an in-game group like that to achieve something you couldn’t do alone. Sounds like fun times for sure! :)

- Comment on Starfield has some beautiful landscapes! 1 year ago:
I can never tell if comments like this are a joke. Starfield has tons of issues, don’t get me wrong, but I’m still playing it because I’m having fun. Why put 80 hours into something if you aren’t enjoying it?

- Comment on The Talos Principle 2 | Release Date Trailer | Available November 2 | PC | PS5 | XSX/S 1 year ago:
Sorry, not that I know of! Poor phrasing on my part, should have said “more excited than if there were a Portal 3 announcement”.
- Comment on The Talos Principle 2 | Release Date Trailer | Available November 2 | PC | PS5 | XSX/S 1 year ago:
I’m honestly more excited about this than a Portal 3 announcement! :) Loved both the puzzles and the story / vibe of the first one!
- Comment on Anyone remember Xfire? 1 year ago:
There are some archives of the service here -
wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Xfire
Supposedly most of the videos, and 20% of the screenshots?
- Comment on Anyone remember Xfire? 1 year ago:
It was definitely ahead of its time! Not really sure why it faded away, I guess pressure from Steam (pun intended), and games moving to private in-game server browsers? Along with many other options for voice chat.
- Comment on Anyone remember Xfire? 1 year ago:
For those that didn’t use it, Xfire was basically a combination of messenger and a server browser for games back in the day.
As far as I know, it was also one of the earliest ways to stream your gameplay for others to watch. I remember trying it out years before Twitch was around.
- Comment on Anyone remember Xfire? 1 year ago:
The only reason it came up again for me was I noticed it in some old computer files, ha! Used to be my most used application by far.
- Comment on Anyone remember Xfire? 1 year ago:
Ah yeah, I forgot about Hamachi! It was great for games that only supported LAN multiplayer.

Kurzesagt themselves made a video breaking down where their funding comes from as well, worth a watch - youtu.be/1x-i9z617z4
For what it’s worth, they claim one of their conditions for receiving money is complete editorial independence.
- Comment on What have you been playing and what do you think of it? 07/27/2023 1 year ago:
I’ve been giving Exoprimal a try (free on GamePass). It’s actually a really fun mix of PvE and PvP so far! The story is hilariously strange as well. Not sure I’d think it’s worth $60, but for free it’s been a blast!
