Hah yes, thanks
- Comment on Let's discuss: Mascot Platformers 1 week ago:
Love playformers especially 2D, although Astro’s Playhouse was a favourite too, but mostly for the creativity with the controller.
For 2D I particularly liked the Ori games, so much love in the design of those games and the gameplay yo match

Started the new D4 season, I don’t have the expansion.
This is my second season and my second character, I went with a summoner Necromancer this time, I also skipped the Campaign and went straight to end-game.
I have to say I really find it quite boring.
I’m also getting stuck into Monster Hunter Rise, just passed 5 star missions, I’m playing with Great Sword and I’m enjoying the challenge, I think I’m beginning to understand what MH is all about now.

Yeah the music is really nice.
I haven’t seen the anime, I don’t really know anything about the series apart from this game, but I hear there’s quite a bit of other media out there

I’m trying to focus on Nier: Automata, halfway through the 9S playthrough, it’s an interesting game, not very deep in gameplay, but every so often surprises me.
I’ve also just picked up Monster Hunter Rise with Sunbreak, I’ve never really played a MH game properly and find them really Grundy, but I hear Rise isn’t so bad so wanted to give it a fair go.
Also just finished getting a Druid to 100 in Diablo IV, my first season and I am done with the game in about 2 weeks, I may try another class in the next season but the game seems very shallow and repetive.

That’s a good point but the OPs simplistic comment is just reductive and is just stirring the pot of casual racism/nationalism

Yes it’s a great game and I would have liked to see it about D4, I would easily put Last Epoch and Path of Exile ahead too.
I always thought that Grim Dawn was no longer being developed on as the devs were working on a new game, but they keep pumping out patches and content.

I like this list, but how is Diablo IV on there as the sole representation of an ARPG, it’s so bland.

This was something I found strange in the new Alien: Romulus film, why were the temperature readings in a science vessel for a space faring civilisation in Fahrenheit!?
- Comment on PoE 2, lets goo 2 months ago:
But Solo Self Found is quite popular and surely that’s entirely without trading?
Or are you also talking about Vendor trading/crafting like the Chaos recipe?
- Comment on PoE 2, lets goo 2 months ago:
I honestly thought the dev team had gone to an end on Grim Dawn, but they’ve kept it going with patches and content.

- Comment on SAG-AFTRA Calls Strike Against Major Video Game Companies After Nearly 2 Years Of Contract Talks 3 months ago:
It’s not a huge threat to the movie and tv industry yet, but it could be soon, from writing scripts, to using actors voices and then likenesses, then eventually crafting scenes and episodes based entirely on prompts and AI its probably only a matter of time, unless regulation and Unions stand in the way.
It’s worth noting too that the games industry these days is bigger than movies, so I think this situation is a good thing for SAG AFRA to stand firm on.

Nice one, thank you.
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of July 21st 3 months ago:
I’d be interested to know more about that.
I played through the game using a couple of mods and reshade plugins that gave it the E3 feel, it was really nice and a great gaming memory of mine.
Just couldn’t get into WD2 or 3

Reckon this is worth picking up on sale? I’m interested in it having played all the previous games, but I’m worried the battle pass and mtx is ruining it.
Now it’s been out for a few seasons what do you think?

Yeah I can’t remember my game either, it might have been something like Joe Blade 3?

There was an old Spectrum Game that actually loaded up Pacman first before the main game.

Never use your desktop to store shortcuts, unless they are very temporary, and then clear up often.
You have a taskbar and start menu to organise and find everything you need, you can even do startup applications.

- Comment on [I just watched] Spider-Man - Across the Spider-Verse 1 year ago:
I definitely enjoyed it, but I found it tiring to watch at times, not only did I have to concentrate on all the motion during the expansive fight and traversal scenes but during that time the characters didn’t shut up!
So much chat and quips with intense action, it got hard to really follow at times.

No, they are totally not related, critical theory is from the 1930s, Woke is from 2010
