- Comment on Valve is fixin' to start some arguments over the holidays because 'All adult members in a Steam Family' can see your Steam Replay page 16 hours ago:
I don’t have any games that would be too uncomfortable to talk about in my library, so this wouldn’t be an issue for me. Sure I might not want to talk in public about the furry dating sim Amorous, but pretty much anything else I’ve played would definitely be fair game. Especially Ardor and talking about collecting teeth to confuse people walking by.
- Comment on What is your Game of the Year? 16 hours ago:
I think the game I’ve probably had the most fun with throughout the year and not including games I’ve recently gotten over the past month or two would have to be a 3 way tie between Balatro, Peglin, and Backpack Heroes. Balatro barely hangs on there, though, do to the boredom of playing it for long enough it’s starting to get a little boring.
- Comment on Steam News - Your 2024 Steam Replay is here 2 days ago:
Just looked at my 24, 23, and 22 replay and they’re all so different from one another. Crazy. Somehow I was heavy on 3D platformers this year despite only playing 3 that could fit that category, at least from my library of Steam games.
- Comment on Balatro is rated PEGI-18 and Among Us inspires disgruntled people with medical needs. What other video games have been secretly eroding the very fabric of American society? 3 days ago:
The Sims. It’s an affront to God that a human gets to play God if they’re not a billionaire or religious Christian leader.
Spore. That game is another affront to God because it teaches the harmful idea that creatures can change through evolution, which goes against God because He created all creatures and they have never ever changed and obviously look the exact same as they did when he created the Earth 6k years ago.
Mortal Kombat on SNES. Hilary Clinton said it’s a super realistic violent video game and since then there has never been anything near as violent. That game is the most violent game to ever exist and there is nothing that will ever top it.
And finally, the worst game of all:

- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of December 15th 5 days ago:
Just got Legend of Spyro: Dawn of The Dragon working on RPCS3 last night on steam deck. Absolutely love that trilogy, even if I did play the games in reverse order. Only problem is how I cannot properly save and need to save state any time I wanna save. Hope I can reload those save states easily from the steam game mode thing.
Other than that, played through a short Christmas themed side story VN for Brok the Investigator called “Natal Tail” last night. Short, simple, expanded a little bit of world lore, and was in general a fun enough experience. Didn’t have voice acting, but it was more than okay without it.
- Comment on What game surprised you with their length? 6 days ago:
Beyond The Edge of Owlsgarde. No spoilers, but despite playing it for plenty of hours (don’t have an exact count), I felt it was short. Pretty cool enough of a modern point and click adventure game, though.
- Comment on Do you have any recommendations for casual games? 6 days ago:
Available on PC, Steam (if you’re willing to pay), and android (through F-droid, not sure about play store or any of the others):
Shattered Pixel Dungeon. Run though randomly generated dungeon floors. Every 5th floor, fight a boss. I suck at it, so I’ve only gotten past the 2nd boss once, but that’s because I suck. Currently 5 different classes with a 6th in development (unless I’m wrong and it’s already out), each playing differently for the most part. You’ve got a warrior, rogue, huntress, mage, and duelist, with all but warrior being locked until you do easy enough requirements to unlock them for subsequent runs.
Can pause, exit, and come back to a run whenever during a run.
Available on PC and android (both F-droid and play store);
SuperTuxKart. Cart racer with a lot of fan made content like maps and carts. Has varying difficulties, but the lower the difficulty the lower the max speed in a race, if that matters to anyone else besides me. Not exactly full-on single-player since there is the option of online play, either against friends or random players if you find an open lobby.
Can pause pretty much any time offline but backing out makes you have to restart a race from the beginning. Same thing applies to the multi-race cup things.

Until something actually factually nasty about him comes up, if anything ever does, totally agree.
- Comment on anyone know any good android games? 1 week ago:
I don’t know much about android handhelds or anything, but I feel like Mindustry on F-droid could be a fun game. No idea if the device is touchscreen, nor if there are physical controls whether they’ll work natively.
- Comment on The casual moviegoer is a thing of the past. That's a big problem for Hollywood 2 weeks ago:
I was in the same boat before I learned that there was essentially a rerun/remake/release/whatever you’d call it of Coraline in 3D. Immediately bought tickets knowing that not many people would head out to see it later at night. No drinks or food since I didn’t wanna get charged an arm and a leg, but overall was a good experience since the theater chairs were nice.
Otherwise, yeah, no reason for me to go to the movies besides maybe if I really feel like going in the summer if there’s a Ghibli fest going on (because masterpieces should be seen in theaters if the theater quality is nice enough).
- Comment on What are your favorite "gotta go in blind" games? 3 weeks ago:
Personally I’d say none because I’m a firm believer games tend to be more fun when you go in blind.
- Comment on What are your favorite "gotta go in blind" games? 3 weeks ago:
I feel like the obvious answer would be something like Fallout New Vegas, DLCs as well (especially the DLCs) or any visual novel games like Song of Data or the Danganronpa series.
Though for non-obvious answers, gonna say Brok the Investigator. Story driven with changing how you play affecting the ending you get. Non-obvious because I don’t see a ton of hype around it, even though there’s a cool looking DLC being developed.
- Comment on What games have you put the most hours into? 3 weeks ago:
On and off for over a decade I’ve played the original Borderlands on xbox360, so definitely that.
- Comment on What's your favourite it's all in the gameplay game? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t fully understand what you mean by “it’s all in the gameplay game” but based off the fact you included a picture of one of the original rollercoaster tycoon games, gonna have to say rollercoaster tycoon 3.
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of November 24th 3 weeks ago:
For the first time ever, I am at the very end of Fallout New Vegas, Mr. House run. It’s been a couple years with long breaks, but I cannot wait to be able to say I’ve finally completed the main story of a fallout game.
Also been enjoying Anomaly Collapse on my laptop. Fun enough rougelite (rougelike?) with metaprogression. Though I’d recom skipping the small amount of dialogue present in runs after the first few times because it’s the same dialogue regardless of what characters you play as.

You’re saying you don’t wanna buy a season pass for your new triple AAA game that costs $50 and gives you a new cosmetic skin every month for the next 2 months?

- Comment on What are some video game quotes that is stuck in your head? 4 weeks ago:
Just saw the video with the quote recently, so, here goes:
A line from the main character of Beyond The Edge of Owlsgard. The English voice actor confirmed that the line was improvised. It’s probably a lot more tame in the German dub, but the line is so funny that they probably had to put it in the English dub.

- Comment on What are your favorite 1000+ hour games? 4 weeks ago:
Haven’t been playing for a long time because I haven’t set up the xbox in a long while, but Borderlands 1. Have been playing that game on and off more than a decade now. I don’t think the base game (playthrough 1 only) on its own is 1000+ hours long, could be wrong, but it’s long enough, especially with the DLCs. I think I’ve beaten playthrough 1 and 2 with 2-3 of the characters and have yet to beat all the quests with any of them because of a certain DLC boss fight quest.
It’s a game I absolutely fell in love with. Started with the 2nd game, which my brother got, but I later got the 1st because I wanted to see how it was compared to 2 and I’m a bigger fan of the 1st game. Played the pre-sequel, it’s fun but not as good as 1 in my opinion, and have no experience at all with 3.

Man can’t fight any fighter his own age because he knows he’d be fucked, so he challenges older men out of their prime. What next? Is he gonna start challenging kindergartners to fight him so he can feel superior?
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of November 10th 5 weeks ago:
Got addicted to AudioSurf 2 over the weekend. Have a small handful of songs on microSD on deck and it’s pretty fun. Otherwise, did some Shotgun King and not much else besides Shattered Pixel Dungeon on my phone. This quarter of college has kinda drained me because of 2 freaking classes I hate.

- Comment on Luanti (formerly Minetest) v5.10.0 out now bringing UI updates, fancier shaders, renaming work 5 weeks ago:
I also tried at one point, but gave up because I couldn’t get the set up I had made for it to work. This was maybe less than a month ago. I hope for gamepad support in the future so that I can finally have voxelibre (formerly mineclone2) on deck without fiddling with the controller settings at all.
- Comment on Let's discuss: Mascot Platformers 5 weeks ago:
I personally have a soft spot for 2D platformers from the Sonic series since I got a copy of the Sonic Mega Collection on gamecube when I was young and loved it. I don’t care if some games do a better job of having worlds where they’re speedy like Green Hill or slow like Carnival Nights (or whatever it’s called), I just like running across the screen. Same thing applies to the 3D games (even the flop I still think was a pretty good game: Sonic '06). Hell, I’m the type of guy who absolutely loves the beat-em-up style gameplay they introduced in Unleashed just for the Werehog sections. The gripes I tend to have are more or less either skill issues or being unable to play around the glitches in the case of '06 (despite not having played it in over a decade).
I’m also big on the Ratchet & Clank style 3D shooter platforming (only played 1, 2, size matters, Into the Nexus/Pirated Booty, and am only in the beginning of deadlocked). I love some of the more wacky weapons (plasma whip, bouncer, black hole gun, etcetera) you can get in the series, which allows me to not get ultra bored part way through the games. The stories also capture me, for the most part, in a first playthrough. They’re not something I take super seriously, so I tend to have a good time with them. Probably my biggest gripe with the game, from what I can remember about Into the Nexus, is how short it felt in comparison to the original trio and size matters. Getting a copy of the first in the PS3 series of games soon, so I cannot wait.
I also had a pretty good time this year with Corn Kidz 64, a shorter platformer that plays like an n64 title in how it controls. Fun enough mechanics but my biggest gripe is how in the end I was left wanting more, in a “I want a sequel” fashion.
Though I did have the misfortune of playing Macbat 64 this year too. It just felt too generic and shovelwear, in my opinion, for me to like it. Play as a bat in small levels with simple puzzles and not much exploration, random mario kart inspired race level in the middle of the game, and also a 2D level based on kirby. I don’t remember the story being much better either. Personally not a game for me.
- Comment on Yakuza creator Nagoshi says the era of game size being most important is coming to an end 5 weeks ago:
I would absolutely love it if games started going back to the original Borderlands 1 style maps/areas. The type of maps that were more small-medium sized area that were completely self-contained sections of a larger world.
- Comment on Yakuza creator Nagoshi says the era of game size being most important is coming to an end 5 weeks ago:
Definitely one of the reasons I absolutely love the original Borderlands. Large world, but broken into a lot smaller chunks/maps. More games doing stuff like that would be absolutely perfect.
- Comment on In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment? 1 month ago:
From what I’ve seen, it looks good. Can’t play the demo for the 2nd game, but from some of the footage I’ve seen, it looks fun. Thanks for the suggestion.
- Comment on In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment? 1 month ago:
Vib-Ribbon.
It’s one of the coolest concepts I’ve seen for PSx. It’s a rhythm game that loads into the console’s ram, allowing you to swap the disc to one of your CDs and could generate unique levels for your songs.
While looking it up I did find there was a PS3 port, but I don’t know how good that is or if it has the same custom level feature or not. I’d love a modern version that looks visually similar but allows you to either input a playlist from a service like yt or use your own local files to generate unique levels.

Had absolutely no idea. Good to know.
- Comment on U.S. Copyright Office rejects DMCA exemption to support game preservation 1 month ago:
Probably depends on the game. I’m pretty sure more popular games or games with a sizable amount of dedicated fans, like the TF2 community, have probably already found a way to make their own private servers or at least are working on it.
