- Comment on What is the best Sea based game out there in your opinion? 2 days ago:
Abzu? Dave the diver, maybe? Dredge?
Or, this might be a might more out of left field or maybe completely stupid and not at all what you had in mind, but what about coral island? You don’t get to experience the water surface except when fishing or doing other stuff on the shore. But you get to do stuff on the bottom and there’s mermaids and stuff.
Stardew valley with a tropical island vibe. So definitely fun and immersive. Definitely more adjacent than something like sea of thieves or black flag or subnautica, but I feel like it fits better than just cause 3, imo

Yeah, my bad, shit example.

Technically, I think they’re different. Flammable means that it can be lit on fire, like wood or something. Whereas inflammable means it can catch fire on its own, like gas, for example.

Move? It’s always been a migration with these games. That’s why they try to schedule their patches to not coincide with other similar games’ launches/patches
- Comment on Should we boycott games with loot boxes? 1 week ago:
Right, but the fifa series afaik makes more of its money by selling packs of cards with players in them. Packs and players that you can get by just playing. But they still sell those packs for $$, so why wouldn’t it count?
Borderlands the same, you can buy random gear with cash. I guess it’s less fomo and less abusive, but they’re still literal loot boxes that they sell for money

- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 1 week ago:
I’m here, so I’m more likely to know who that is or what he looks like. But I don’t. I do now because you mentioned him and I looked up how he looks like. Your average Joe is gonna be even less likely to know who that is or what he looks like. So I’m guessing that’s why. Some CEOs just avoid the spotlight. Or maybe I’ve just been avoiding MS news, dunno
- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 1 week ago:
I often use cheats to remove grindy and boring bits beyond a certain point. Usually the difficulty curve is pretty bad and a game is only hard in the beginning. So I play as intended until I reach a point at which it’s just a matter of time and not skill. So I just give myself a ton of crafting mats or currency or whatever so I can focus on the fun and interesting parts of the game.
- Comment on Three original movies are being released in theaters today 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, my bad, I focused too much on the specifics and should’ve just looked at the meaning itself. In my head theater = restaurant, home tv = home kitchen. Good movie = bourguignon, average movie = noodles. And I had an issue with the latter part. Because to me it’s not about the quality of the movie, but the quality of the experience or at least getting something that you can’t get at home, same as in a restaurant I’d usually order stuff that I can’t make at home. Or that is too complicated to make at home.
Imo, noodles at restaurant are better cause of powerful gas stove which lets you actually fry stuff and not just steam it and gets you the wok hei, bourguignon at home or restaurant won’t be that much different since it’s just a stew and there’s not much you can do in a restaurant to make it better.
So that’s why I thought it wasn’t a good analogy. But if you just look at the meaning behind it, as I should’ve done, it’s a good analogy.

It’s the ska effect.
- Comment on Three original movies are being released in theaters today 2 weeks ago:
Well, I was just thinking that you can do the bourguignon at home, whereas you can’t really have an IMAX at home. Maybe I was just overthinking it, my bad :D sorry
- Comment on Three original movies are being released in theaters today 2 weeks ago:
That’s fair, but the analogy is wrong, imo. In the sense that I can enjoy a good movie anywhere. I don’t need to see the green book in a cinema to enjoy it, it’s probably even better at home. I go to the cinema for the experience…the huge screen, the sound, etc. Which is why the only movies I’ve seen in cinemas in the past years are Avatar, Furiosa, Deadpool and into the spider verse, pretty much.
- Comment on Path of Exile 2: Dawn of the Hunt Gameplay Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Ah, I see. Fait enough. Personally I enjoyed it. No point in making a different game just to have better graphics. PoE 1 is still there for those that don’t like the new one… and I’m looking forward to alternating between the 2, if they manage to find the pace which they promised.

What makes the first 70 levels not fun for you?
- Comment on Best game ever? 3 weeks ago:
This again? Anyway, sure… Tetris or doom for importance. Not really the best. That goes to rdr2 for being one of the best selling games of all time while also being almost universally loved. Not my personal favourite game, but objectively speaking, the title should go to rdr2, I think
- Comment on One-handed games? 3 weeks ago:
So left hand only games… driving games should work(enjoying NFS heat, atm), turn based games and isometric RPGs (plenty of those, depends on preferences… Balatro, slay the spire, XCOM, disco Elysium, etc… I could make a list if needed).
Telltale games like the wolf among us and stuff Vampire survivors and all the similar games (halls of torment, soulstone survivors, etc)

You’re the only one talking about this. A change can occur without any surgery. Reread the article to understand better, please.
You read the article and you even quoted it. It says how xx people can be men and how xy people can be women. Nobody said anything about any surgery or magic pill that grows a penis or whatever you’re imagining.
- Comment on Dunning-Kruger 4 weeks ago:
No, not magically, no. You’re right.
- Comment on Dunning-Kruger 4 weeks ago:
This article seems to disagree. But I don’t know much on the subject so I might be misunderstanding.
Also, no matter what the correct answer is, pretending the answer is binary is definitely wrong. Since it’s obviously a lot more complicated.
- Comment on Dunning-Kruger 4 weeks ago:
A person’s biological sex usually refers to their status as female or male depending on their chromosomes, reproductive organs, and other characteristics. Chromosomes are tightly packed DNA, or molecules that contain the genetic instructions for the development and functioning of all living things. Humans typically have forty-six chromosomes. Two of those are sex chromosomes that contain instructions for the development and functioning of characteristics related to biological sex, such as reproductive organs. There are two kinds of human sex chromosomes, X and Y. Individuals identified as males tend to have one X and one Y chromosome, while those identified as females tend to have two X chromosomes. However, other people are born with other chromosome combinations, such as XXY, that lead them to develop a mix of characteristics. People who fit that description are often referred to as intersex, a category for people whose bodies do not conform with stereotypical expectations of males or females at birth.

There’s still private servers out there. You can play wow without giving blizzard money.
- Comment on Gaming has a polarization problem 5 weeks ago:
The only problem is that people are idiots, especially online. Go to any comment section and you’ll find people angry at the content, no matter what the content is. And you’re taking them seriously, for some reason. Laugh at them and move on, no more polarization problem. As you’ve said, 77% of people enjoyed avowed. Probably even more, as people are a lot more likely to leave a bad review than a good one.

Yeah, you got me. I totally said that.

Yup. I’m fine with bg3 being considered a shit game. That’s an opinion and everyone can not like it. But it’s silly to label it something that it’s not. Something that’s more or less measurable . Like pretending the sky is green or something. Makes no sense.

My thoughts exactly when I read your list of “deeper” games. What exactly can you do in kingdom come that BG doesn’t allow you, for example?
