- Comment on Steamdeck or.... 5 days ago:
I’m going to go against the general consensus here and say you would probably be better served buying a Switch 2. The Steam Deck is awesome but it is bulkier, has less battery life, and is overall less suited for a “pick up, play 10mins and toss is back” usage.
However if you are up for some occasional tinkering, the SD is far more versatile and could replace your laptop depending on your use-cases.
- Comment on $80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen" 1 week ago:
You’d think he’d be better media trained by now. But no, here goes the foot in the mouth.

Driving manual is not particularly complicated, but it will require you to focus a lot of attention on it at first. Since you also have to cope with with differences in driving regulations, this will put you and your passengers more at risk than necessary.
It takes time (~tens of hours) to build the muscle memory so that it becomes natural. For a vacation in the short term, you should go ahead with your plan to rent an automatic.
- Comment on Ori studio in crisis: No Rest For The Wicked could be their final game 2 weeks ago:
No review bombing for the wicked
I don’t see the pattern of a review bombing in Steam reviews… Looks like a game getting released very soon in early access and failing to gain traction.
It’s sitting on my wishlist and I’m waiting for it to get to 1.0, but their update cadence has been very slow. Now they are saying their studio does not have the funds to complete the game.
I do hope they turn this around, but as a consumer I am very wary when it comes to titles in early access, and even more when the studio goes radio silent for months.
- Comment on Giant Bomb, a web site about video games, has been purchased from Fandom 2 weeks ago:
What a roller coaster of a ride ! At least they have a fighting chance, and hopefully for them did not take too big a financial risk.
- Comment on Future of Giant Bomb website in doubt following prominent staff departures 4 weeks ago:
Giant Bomb deserves more than a thread hanging off the Polygon story post.
Agreed. Giant Bomb pioneered so much in games media, and for it to end like that is such a shame.
As far as I am concerned, the GB I loved was already struggling after Alex, Brad and Vinny left ; and it ended for good when Jeff Gerstmann was fired abruptly (again !). This news still saddens me however, and I wonder what will be the legacy of GB down the road.
- Comment on Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Trailer (2025) 1 month ago:
In the early days of this generation of VR, there used to be a Dolphin emulator VR-enabled version that could run the Metroid Prime games in VR. It was both great and pretty barf-y, and was discontinued afer some scene drama.
Not sure where VR for emulators is at right now.
- Comment on Nintendo Announce Virtual Game Cards (Digital Game Sharing) 1 month ago:
Exactly ! Steam families are now dead simple, whereas this new oh-so-Nintendo method seems as janky as it gets.
It does have one standout feature that Steam families do not though: ability to play shared games even when offline.

You son of a bitch, I’m in !

If you want no DRM, you are basically only going to get your games from GOG.
- Comment on Which co-op first person shooters would you recommend? 2 months ago:
Why emulate ? The Master Chief Collection is available on PC. It’s missing Halo 5 though. And then Infinite went ahead and cancelled this whole storyline.
- Comment on What are your favorite games for killing nazis? 3 months ago:
The Sniper Elite series is basically nazi-killing porn. Those won’t let you down, especially if you enjoy unplanned testicular detonations happening to nazis of any kind.
- Comment on What games have you put the most hours into? 5 months ago:
Guild Wars 2 has been my theme park MMORPG of choice on and off for the last 12 years, with >2500h. I have also spent ~1000h on Elite Dangerous.
- Comment on 2024 is about 75% done. Let's recommend the best games of 2024, but with a twist: only the ones with no paid DLC! 7 months ago:
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess (Steam, PS4/5, Xbox One/Series)
Pretty original mix of brawler and tower defense, with a presentation reminiscent of Okami. Avaiable on Game Pass and has a demo on Steam.

SteamWorld Heist II (Steam, PS4/5, Xbox One/Series, Switch)
Like its predecessor, it’s basically “2D XCOM with skill shots instead of randomness”. Highly recommended, perfect for gaming on the go with a Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch.
- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #2 - Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart 8 months ago:
Phenomenal game, if a bit short. And another impeccable PS5 to PC port from Nixxes.

- Comment on What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from? 8 months ago:
Nostalgy drive engaged !
The Crusader series (No Remorse, No Regret) could have been built upon, with its famously cheesy live-action cutscenes.
The Quarantine series disappeared after its second installment, Road Warrior. Come to think of it, most mainstream vehicular combat games went away, like the Interstate series.
The Discworld adventure games (1, 2, Noir) were famously convoluted, but they did a pretty good job of adapting Pratchett’s world into video games.
Finally I would have liked to play the initially planned sequels to Advent Rising. I have (probably rose-tinted) fond memories of that game, but hey, you asked.
- Comment on Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people? 9 months ago:
Since you enjoyed BG3, I’d strongly recommend Divinity: Original Sin 1&2 if you have not played them already.
Other than that, a few random suggestions with sizeable coop campaigns:
- Outriders
- The Ascent
- Remnant 1&2
- Resident Evil 5&6
- Saints Row 3&4
- Trine 1-5
- Valheim
- Comment on Konami is intent on region locking Japanese players out of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance 10 months ago:
Bottom line: Konami is a weird company making odd calls and has been for a long time. Someone in charge likely decided 11 years ago that MGRR should not be released on PC in Japan and that’s all there is to it.

Well they are still missing the self replicating part… But you know, give it some time.

NGL, I’m really digging what they are showing in this marketing campaign.
- Comment on Behind ‘Suicide Squad,’ the Year’s Biggest Video-Game Flop 11 months ago:
$200M ain’t no pocket change. One would hope such high-profile failures as this or Avengers would curb execs enthusiasm for live service games, but I’m not holding my breath.
- Comment on Guild Wars 2: Janthir Wilds - Expansion Announcement 11 months ago:
Erm, that’s quite the bare bones trailer we’ve got here, somewhat underwhelming. Not every trailer is going to be Long Live the Lich or War Eternal, but come on.

This is actually more to my taste than the crossword, thanks !
- Comment on Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 - Official PvE Co-Op Mode Gameplay Reveal Trailer 1 year ago:
Hopefully this is more fleshed out than the first game’s basic horde mode.
- Comment on EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6 - Release Date Trailer 1 year ago:
Story-wise EDF 6 is a sequel to 5, which was a reboot. The in-game ridiculous storytelling through radio communications is part of its charm, I find.
- Comment on No Rest For The Wicked's first hotfix addresses durability and repair cost complaints 1 year ago:
Not sure what you are referring to. The refund policy on Steam is the same for any games, early access or not. The game’s version number or finished state makes no difference.
Maybe you are thinking of the pre-purchase situation, where you can refund up to 14 days after the game’s release, instead of the date of purchase.
- Comment on SteamWorld Heist 2 - Official Reveal Trailer 1 year ago:
Oooh I really liked the first one. Slept on it for years then played it on Steam Deck. It was a perfect game for a portable gaming system.
- Comment on What are y'all buying on the steam sale? 1 year ago:
I’m on the fence about Arizona Sunshine 2. I understand it’s quite short relative to its price. I might wait for a deeper discount.
