- Comment on What game has the best tutorial, in your opinion? 5 days ago:
I think the Great Plateau is roughly the size of OOT’s entire world, so if she only played classic titles that may feel reasonable.
- Comment on game has multiple factions fighting each other 5 days ago:
And Oregon. The only people that call it ‘pop’ here are 80+, and it’s rare for them. I used to hear it called ‘pop’ by the elderly all the time when I was a kid, but that demographic has been dying out for the past twenty years.
- Comment on Switch 2 Breaks Records By Selling Over 3.5 Million Units In Four Days 6 days ago:
Don’t forget that the Wii U had one of the most incompetent console marketing campaigns of all time. Just two years ago I met someone who still didn’t know it was a console and not an accessory.
- Comment on Anon considers LASIK 1 week ago:
My aunt got corrective eye surgery and was really happy with it, but her description of the experience made me want to never do it. For whatever procedure she had, they had to keep her awake to provide feedback while also scalpelling open the lens of her eye and she said she could smell her eyeball being lasered. She had absolutely no side effects and loves not needing to wear glasses, but her telling me what the procedure was like put it firmly in the hell no category for me.

I’ve had people tailgate me in the right lane for miles before deciding to pass, even with a completely open left lane. And it’s usually a pickup.

Here you go.

You don’t really find those so much as make them.
- Comment on How Will We Know If The Trump Tariffs Were A Good Idea? 1 month ago:
There isn’t even a federal sales tax to replace, just state sales taxes.
- Comment on [Digital Foundry] Oblivion Remastered PC: Impressive Remastering, Dire Performance Problems 1 month ago:
Doesn’t work in the remaster; they changed so that all skills contribute to level up progress.
- Comment on Well played, Todd: You can see Skyrim, or at least its tallest mountain, from the edge of Oblivion Remastered 1 month ago:
Oblivion and Skyrim are 200 years apart, but geographically border each other. Classic Oblivion didn’t render Skyrim, but that was more for technical reasons than anything else. If you get high enough up in Skyrim on a clear day you can see the entire continent.
- Comment on Oblivion Remaster Rockets Past 100K Players on Steam Hours After Launch - Insider Gaming 1 month ago:
I like to describe classic Oblivion characters as looking like they were all carved from the same potato.

I just need to know which one would be best with stuffing and gravy for Thanksgiving.
- Comment on Skyblivion fan project lead reacts to Oblivion remake news with "all love and no hate" 1 month ago:
It’s also from the era when people were expected to read the manual while the game installed, so the game never has tutorials for certain things, most prominent being fatigue. New players tend to run everywhere, drain their fatigue meter, and struggle to hit anything or cast a spell. Just reading the manual, as the devs originally expected, solves a lot.
- Comment on Skyblivion fan project lead reacts to Oblivion remake news with "all love and no hate" 1 month ago:
I’m fine with almost any changes to the combat. Oblivion’s combat felt worse than both Morrowind’s and Skyrim’s to me.
- Comment on Skyblivion fan project lead reacts to Oblivion remake news with "all love and no hate" 1 month ago:
Also, Skyblivion will, at worst, only cut into their PC sales. The official remake will be the only option available on consoles due to the nature of the mod.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 - The Final Patch: New Subclasses, Photo Mode, and Cross-Play 2 months ago:
Kingmaker also has the problem of every encounter being designed for a full party but not actually having access to a full party until late in Act 1, after many mandatory combat encounters. The RNG also seems to hate me.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 - The Final Patch: New Subclasses, Photo Mode, and Cross-Play 2 months ago:
Also note that Owlcat’s other Pathfinder game, Kingmaker, is absurdly punishing. Start with Wrath.
- Comment on Metro 2033 Redux is free to claim on GOG for the next two days 2 months ago:
Uh, enemies are actually less bullet spongey on high difficulties, just like the player. Some humans have armor that you have to either spend bullets shooting off or shoot around by aiming at unarmored portions, but enemies typically go down really quick.
- Comment on Do you use your blinker in a car? 2 months ago:
I thought they made that a subscription now.
- Comment on logs are for quitters 2 months ago:
I think that’s technically true regardless.
- Comment on When did movie credits move from the beginning to the end? 2 months ago:
Credits followed by the opening crawl also would have been tedious.
- Comment on When did movie credits move from the beginning to the end? 2 months ago:
Rules were changed. Lucas actually left the directors guild to have closing credits instead of opening credits. Not sure if he ever rejoined.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 2 months ago:
Judging by the bit of Prime 4 they showed, I think their first party titles will just skip ray tracing and use relatively low-poly models.
- Comment on Important information about compatibility of Nintendo Switch games with Nintendo Switch 2 2 months ago:
Even then, it’s not a full stop on incompatibility, it just means that you need to own Switch 1 joycons to pair to the system instead of using the new ones. So you can play Ringfit on Switch 2, if you have the old joycons and a way to charge them.
- Comment on What are some lesser-known obscure TV series that went under the radar, that you would recommend? 2 months ago:
My grandma got that for me on DVD ages ago. The first few episodes are rough, but it’s really gripping by the end.
- Comment on Anon watches It 2 months ago:
Do they even still mount guns on fighter jets or do they just use missiles?
- Comment on Civilization 7 Outlines Crucial 1.1.1 Update as It Struggles to Compete on Steam Against Civ 6 and Even the 15-Year-Old Civ 5 2 months ago:
Same with Paradox games. 4X in general is just really hard to get right on release because of how many interlinking systems there are, so waiting for balance updates at a minimum is never a bad idea.
- Comment on "Americans can't coo-" 2 months ago:
It was on an episode of Home Improvement. Not sure if the show started it or if it was just referencing the existing fad.
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remake Will Reportedly Be Revealed Soon, and Released Not Long After That 2 months ago:
Bethesda has actually been consistently supportive of Skyblivion, Morroblivion, and Skywind.
