- Comment on Why are most mobile games trash? 1 week ago:
I played a new gacha game 2 nights ago that was so overloaded with crap to do I found myself not even playing the game but just clicking the stupid rewards buttons for everything i “accomplished” and I hated it. I continued to play for another 4 hours… thankfully, once I closed the game, I removed it. I also didn’t pay a dime outside my wasted time.

- Comment on The price of the PS5 Pro “has not had a negative impact” on console sales, says Sony president - GAMESCENSOR 1 week ago:
I know 2 people that got them. My one friend who will buy anything video game related and is still single at 40, and my boss who appears to be rich af somehow and will also buy everything video game related just to have it. For reference my boss and I were talking about building new pcs earlier this year and I started telling him about my normal one I built last year and he then proceeds to tell me about this 12k monster he just put together… we are not the same.
- Comment on Zion Williamson Out Indefinitely for Pelicans with Hamstring Injury 1 week ago:
I don’t follow sports that much, but a coworker used to show me clips of him from high school and college and we all thought he was gonna be crazy. I remember the first year he played and I think he was out due to an injury before the season began? Then I don’t think it got much better from there. I barely hear about him now and I guess he still gets hurt a bunch… sad, really thought he was going to be huge.
- Comment on Sony boss admits forcing PC gamers into PlayStation accounts can "invite pushback," but insists they have to keep games safe – which doesn't really track in single-player 1 week ago:
When they say safer, are they referring to pirating the games? If it helps with that and they don’t need Denuvo or any of that stuff, then I guess it’s helpful. I have no clue if it helps though and I don’t even know where to look anymore to see if these games are pirated, my guess is they are?
- Comment on US Democracy 2 weeks ago:
It will all be about the judges. The last time he was in office, there were more judges appointed than ever before. This time, we will see even more, and at that point, there is no stopping any ridiculous changes that will inevitably be set forth by them to change everything. This will secure everything they want for decades to come. It was hard to see how it would be managed even with democrats winning, but now I can’t see ever bouncing back from this within my lifetime.

- Comment on "Better with age" has its limits. 2 weeks ago:
I used to be into some crazy beer communities and every few months they would do a tasting and tons would come and offer up the craziest stuff they have. One guy really specialized in collecting old beers and I have a bunch over time. The oldest I can remember came from somewhere between 1900-1910. It was awful, but we still appreciated being able to try such a relic.
- Comment on Expedition 33 Dev Confirms $50 Price Is Correct, '30+ Hours of Main Game' 4 weeks ago:
New franchise needs to build a following first. The lower price point will get more people to try it. I’m sold already, but there’s a ton of people who have no idea what this game is still and won’t until it releases. I hope it’s as good as it looks, and I hope it succeeds and leads to more.

Much easier if you use a knife and spread the pile thin, then separate the sides using the knife to quickly identify which ones should be together.
- Comment on Praystation 5 1 month ago:
That’s exactly what I have for my PC. I finally made one last fall when prices cane down. I love that controller.
For the PS5 I don’t think there are many options either, and I like the controller a lot, it’s just that they cheaped out on parts and that pisses me off.
- Comment on Praystation 5 1 month ago:
It’s not what anyone wants because it offers little more over the base console. Doesn’t mean the base system wasn’t great. I love it, and it was an amazing buy when covid happened and I couldn’t buy PC parts to make my own and even if i could the GPU prices were insane. The only complaint I can make is the controller breaks every year due to stick drift… I have been gaming since the 90s and it’s the first time I have ever seen this issue.

What is that song playing? It sounds like something I heard in an old school RPG.
- Comment on Day -1 of posting a screenshot from a game I've been playing until I also forget to post screenshots 1 month ago:
I really went and started looking up the hard letters thinking what you could have played if it was this letter. I quickly realized even the harder letters all have at least 2 big game series belonging to them, so it’s not very hard. Even when looking at Y, you also have the Yakuza series.

Season 2 introduced antagonist. Because he is too important to waste on the intro to everyone’s life history, season 1.
- Comment on 75% of all PS5 owners prefer Performance Mode according to PlayStation 2 months ago:
I will try out graphics mode just to see, then immediately jump to performance mode because who doesn’t want the smoothest experience possible? 60fps is incredible. I can’t see buying the pro at that price unless there is some super trade in event (even then probably not due to mine having a disc drive) but I will say it would be great to have the best settings of the game possible while still maintaining 4k or checkerboard 4k at 60fps. It’s always a shame having to decide.
- Comment on Sony announces the PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling 2 months ago:
It did when the ps5 first came out. $500 for it was a steal back then. I wanted to build a PC at the time but due to the crazy GPU prices and low stock for other parts I decided it was best to wait. Got a ps5 instead (was also hard to get as well) and thought it was absolutely worth the price for the experience it offered. Just built the pc I wanted last fall shortly after prices started dropping. First time ever I made a good choice.
- Comment on Astro Bot | Review Thread (95 OpenCritic) 2 months ago:
The free one was the first game my kid was able to pick up and learn how to play games on. He was 4 at the time, and it was such a simple game that he was able to figure out the controls enough to play. He is almost 8 now and told him this was coming last week, and he was super excited. As much as I wanted him to enjoy video games, he really doesn’t play or care about too many, so it will be cool to see him enjoy it

- Comment on Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG? 2 months ago:
I’m only commenting on the Steam refund part. That’s crazy to me, of all places to return games. The most relaxed has been Steam and never had any issues with them. Even if waiting a month, they normally only care how long you played it, which I think is supposed to be less than 2 hours. For comparison, I tried returning a PS5 game and was immediately denied because they claim as soon as the game is launched once they will not accept it back, which is awful.
That sucks they denied you. It really sounds like they should have let you return it.
- Comment on [ReviewBrah] I Can’t Do This to Myself 2 months ago:
That’s for sure. It’s crazy how stale the options have become. After Covid, they all cut menu options and choices to as minimum as possible, and anything new that they add is almost always just something that already exists but put together differently. I’m guessing it costs too much money to actually create something new, have it tested, and figure out logistics to purchase these new items for it to be worth the gamble of being a success or a complete failure.
- Comment on [ReviewBrah] I Can’t Do This to Myself 2 months ago:
I have been watching him for years. Love the reviews. I have to say lately he seems very angry. The titles reflect how disappointed he is before ever getting to the food. It’s great to have a negative review, but I really don’t like the titles reflecting that. I hope it’s just because fast food has sucked but lately somehow gotten even worse, and not just him following youtube trends to gain more clicks.

Wow, this looks great! So many memories of Heroes 3. I was never able to bring myself to try the others, but this may bring me back if reviews are ok.
