  I’ve always said if money can’t buy happiness then what’s the point in having it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Monster Hunter series producer is being put in charge of all Capcom’s development divisions⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Regarding the comparison to World, what I have said in the past is that while Wilds does look better, it doesn’t look nearly enough better to justify just how much worse it performs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why We Love to Get Lost in Games: The Enduring Appeal of Metroidvanias⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The line I personally draw between Metroidvania and Zelda like is the ability to sequence break without glitches and a focus on platforming as the core of movement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Isn't it possible to frame almost any opinion as a question?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  How do you think Tucker Carlson avoided getting sued off the air for as long as he did?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does Aphantasia exist for senses other than vision?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It might not be called aphantasia since it isn’t for sight, but yeah it exists, I have it for taste and smell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any Roguelike/Roguelite suggestions?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pathway is fun and I think counts as a Roguelite. If you also enjoy Rhythm games I would recommend Crypt of the NecroDancer. There’s also Peglin that is pretty good. Getting off the switch I want to recommend Noita, but that game is also kinda intense in terms of both brutal difficulty and just how much stuff there is the game puts out of the way. I will also second the other recommendations for Darkest Dungeon, Risk of Rain 2, and Enter the Gungeon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Warcraft II: Remastered internal alpha spotted, hinting at an announcement soon – WGB⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t be too excited, these are the same people that made Warcraft 3 reforged, that one remaster that made everything worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did Trump vote? Could he have?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Florida allows felons to vote if the state the felony conviction occurred in allows felons to vote. New York allows felons to vote, thus Florida allows him to vote.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unsubscribe? Nope! We'll Just Add You To An "Unsubscribers" List!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, I would still file a complaint with whatever relevant government agency, worst that could happen is that things stay the same I figure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unsubscribe? Nope! We'll Just Add You To An "Unsubscribers" List!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In the US at least that is very much illegal, though I am going to guess this isn’t in the US.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. Copyright Office rejects DMCA exemption to support game preservation⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, that all sounds to me like a really good argument for preserving copies of every single version of every game. To go back to your Shakespeare example, it would be a massive loss if any of those adaptations were not preserved to be found by those who went looking, so all we had to go on was records of people talking about them. In fact, there are at least a few examples of exactly that: Homer’s Illiad and Odyssey are only parts of a much larger series which we only know exist because we have other records discussing it.

  Yeah, just taking snapshots of everything isn’t going to let you perfectly recreate the culture surrounding a game at any point in time, but having those snapshots around is important for giving context to other records you have.

  Technically that’s still on appeal, and tbh I do expect it to get overturned somewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Threads of Time - Official Announcement Trailer | TGS 2024⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The game looks good, and I first heard about it because they are hiring a dedicated narrative designer.

  Don’t forget capitalwasteland.com

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Actors demand action over 'disgusting' video game sex scenes⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey hey, there are a bunch of completed indie porn games that are also really good. If you want some examples I can certainly provide.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Californians will vote on a $18 minimum wage. Workers already want $25 and more⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Two ways I can think of to close that loophole: a) make tie the minimum wage to the executive’s total compensation, so the workers either get the proportionate amount of stocks as the CEO or money of equivalent market value (also include expected performance bonus as part of that) and/or b) keep a basic minimum wage around as well, so that CEOs can’t accept a pitifully low salary outright.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some absolutely do, some nominally don’t but don’t stop to think about the implications of what they say they want, and probably most think education is great. The term Christian refers to so many people that making any broad assertions is going to be wrong for large percentages of the group.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Helldivers 2 Players Express Frustration On Steam As It Will Soon Require A PSN Account⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Please, anyone who reads this, stop posting links to the mobile version of Wikipedia. It doesn’t switch automatically on PC, and I see it happen all the time. Just take the half a second to remove the “.m” from the beginning of the link, save everyone else from the pain of having to be surprised by it and taking the time to do it themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If presidential immunity is absolute..⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  See, you say they can’t impeach someone who isn’t in office, I’m pretty sure they actually can but usually just don’t bother because there didn’t used to be much point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If presidential immunity is absolute..⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You missed a step in that plan of yours of also taking out every single supreme court justice that decided to give the president full immunity at the same time he took out Trump. Anyone willing to do that is clearly both too traitorous to the nation to be allowed to keep their and too stupid for not seeing that coming to be allowed to live and continue to do such damage in the future.

  (Disclaimer, not actually advocating for murder, I don’t think)

  Just quit your job dude lol it’s not that complicated.

  Tabletop sim might work, depending on attitudes towards tabletop games

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been going through the Talos Principle, trying to get around to actually beating it. I probably won’t go straight into the sequel though, since I prefer to wait for games to go on sale.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Age of Mythology is one that I very rarely see talked about anywhere, it has a pretty good single player campaign. I also think more people should try out Caesar 3, albeit using one of the more modern fan made patches for reasonable zoom distances and other quality of life features.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Biden Will Join Autoworkers on Picket Line in Michigan, a Historic Move⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Even still, sounds to me like a very effective way to signal support for the striking workers. Obviously he can’t participate for the entire strike, he has shit to do and would easily garner much more criticism doing that. I suspect everyone that disapproves of this move disapproves of the man anyway.
