If it came across as talking bad about the game/franchise thats not the intent. It’s just rarely mentioned in the crpg mainstream articles I’ve seen over time. Usually Divinity and others are brought up more often.

Overall yes they did well, but it seems like they fell off. Poe1 has the better narrative imo. 2 had better mechanics.

Been waiting years for this. The original games are super underrated.
- Comment on Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster will no longer grant ‘Erotica’ points for taking photos of women [VGC] 4 weeks ago:
Is it me or has the term remastered been changed to remake/redesigned?
To me it’s always meant that its just a visual fidelity and maybe audio updating. The rest of the game mechanics remain. Only extreme bugs should be fixed that would lead to corrupted saves or something.
- Comment on Sony Santa Monica is making its first new IP in over 20 years 5 weeks ago:
Ain’t just Sony. It’s actually difficult to think of any new IP, from anyone. (I see you indie scene).
- Comment on Hacker Shows How to Get Free Laundry For Life 1 month ago:
And to a point I agree. But the way the story reads, it sounds like not much was done with the new machines after installation. We’ve all had money taken from faulty vending machines. But the stakes are slightly higher in this.

Isn’t a machine taking your money and not receiving anything from it isn’t?
- Comment on Why are arcade cabinets so expensive? 3 months ago:
I guess what I meant a bit more specifically are things like buttons, the screen, cables, any daughter boards needed for like special lights, speakers etc. stuff beyond, as you mentioned.
- Comment on Why are arcade cabinets so expensive? 3 months ago:
The cabinet and it’s own electronics.

I’d imagine that’s part of it. But it’s also a big metal building, farady cage and all.

- Comment on Best printer 2024, best printer for home use, office use, printing labels, printer for school, homework printer you are a printer we are all printers 5 months ago:
There are still a need for document printing at home. Granted it’s just smaller in scale these days. Mine is mostly used for the kids. Like printing out things to color on, or something educational. On rare occasions I’ll need to print some kinda form, for work or some kinda government form, even event tickets.
That said, I really don’t know anyone that’s looking to photo print at home anymore. It’s just cheaper to have it done somewhere like Walgreens or Walmart.

Good, run that into the ground too and be rid of it.
- Comment on Your next Windows PC may need at least 16GB of RAM 7 months ago:
My new PC has 64g ram. But I’m also not using or plan to use windows. Checkmate M$!
But in all seriousness, 8g is like, the foundational minimum these days. Sad tbh. Browsers are so bloated these days. I’m surprised that browsers haven’t become their own OS yet. It kinda feels that way in some environments.
- Comment on I got this popup ad on my TV **while watching a DVD** 8 months ago:
Pihole or similar DNS blocking. I can’t recommend it enough. My smart TVs are the #1 offender on my network. The only thing that will try to pull in more ads are my wife’s mobile games.

Yes but I use more than web traffic stuff on my phone.
- Comment on Microsoft is killing WordPad in Windows 1 year ago:
Might as well? I’m surprised notepad still hangs around and they’re not forcing Word/365. Wordpad is ok. But it’s in this weird middle ground between notepad and full office Word.
So, I guess notepad++ will continue to thrive.
- Comment on Nord VPN tv commercials are incredibly misleading 1 year ago:
Eh, the problem is, most of these big vpn providers end points are well known by most isp’s.
- Comment on Nord VPN tv commercials are incredibly misleading 1 year ago:
Well, not really with these, per se. My own VPN, Wireguard, routes back through my pihole service to double down on it’s filtering. For the most, I’m not trying to obfuscate my ip. If I wanted to do that I’d use tor or something. I just don’t want my traffic to be easily snooped on when I’m connected to wifi that isn’t mine.

Worked at office Depot when this first rolled out, around 2013 or so. It was a hard sell then too. Was another reason I pushed lasers to people.
- Comment on What a world we live in... 1 year ago:
Yep. The xerox one I got has done pretty well too. No drivers to download, for any device or OS in my home network. Shit just works.
