Oh no, two live service cesspools didn’t get released.
Anyway…

Hollow Knight never did it for me for some reason. I’m sure it’s great, but I just can’t get into it. Like, at all.

Gunstar fucking Heroes. You’re a gentle person and a scholar.

It’s hilarious and incredible how we still haven’t made a Metroidvania game that solidly and undeniably bests the game that added the -vania in the first place.
- Comment on Day 180 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 1 week ago:
Max Payne 2 is one of my favorite games of all time on any platform. Great memories. I don’t like how Remedy went so far down the artsy unintelligible plotting road after that, but they’re still one of the best developers out there in my opinion.

I mean, Hi-Fi Rush is RIGHT THERE.
- Comment on Any Roguelike/Roguelite suggestions? 1 week ago:
Binding of Isaac is some OG classic stuff if you haven’t played that one, and Neon Abyss is a fun side-scrolling game on a similar vibe. Rogue Legacy 1 (very OG) and 2 and Dead Cells are also side scrolling , with a dash of Metroidvania.
If you like Slay the Spire, Astrea is the same thing but with dice, and Monster Train also scratches the same itch.

It’s a fun movie. Solid recommend.

Drag Me to Hell. Deep down, an allegory for eating disorders and self-image. Superficially, Sam Raimi rolling out reasons to dump gross shit on and in Alison Lohman’s face for 99 minutes.
- Comment on Can astronauts jerk off or toss the troff in space? Would their heart monitors would show it to be elevated? Or can or has any two astronauts ever had sex in space? 1 week ago:
Alas, that’s my least favorite of hers so far. Her angle is to all the questions you want answered, then get the answer. Spook, being about the unknowable, means the answers are a lot less fulfilling. Still a worthwhile read, just not her best in my opinion.

Always upvotes for Mary Roach. Everyone should read her breakout work, Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers.

I would like to see them go back to just plain old numbering and call this one the Xbox 363.
- Comment on Longtime buddy of mine just got a gaming PC. What games would make up a good "welcome to PC" care package? 3 weeks ago:
Or I guess a Humble Bundle subscription.
- Comment on We all need Seaman back in our lives! 3 weeks ago:
To this day, if I turn to my best friend and say “sup”, his response will either be “Oh, not much, just… keeping it real.” or just “Word.” Vice versa as well.
These are the exact responses Seaman gives, which we deliver with proper intonation and all.

Lovely.

Like a DeLorean fucked a D20.
Like a tin can fucked a child’s drawing of a bicycle.
Like Andross fucked a VW Bus.
Like a Dalek fucked a Lego.
- Comment on Some Older PC games I have, just wanted to share. 4 weeks ago:
I remember them boasting that an architect contributed to the level design. Turns out, real world environment design didn’t map to early 2000’s game design very well.
Now designing a modern VR game or something, that might be a different story.

My father is a full-tilt Republican Asshole and if his father was alive today, I think he’d kick my shitty father’s teeth in for what he’s become.
- Comment on Evan Almighty and flushed away 1 month ago:
Exactly. Going away from claymation was not the best, but it still has plenty of good humor and fun in it.
- Comment on Evan Almighty and flushed away 1 month ago:
Flushed Away is a perfectly unironically enjoyable film.

I’ve read about ballers who pop the top and drop the appropriate weight of dry ice in. There are tutorials out there but it’s scarier than I’m willing to take on.
Don’t look at me though, I use Drinkmate.

Technically it would be suck-sectional.
- Comment on Is a Quest 3 really worth it? 2 months ago:
I agree that there’s a ton of good stuff coming from the indie scene and also some amazing modding of existing games out there (check the Flat2VR discord - they just modded full VR support with motion controls into Silent Hill 2 Remake), but despite all the complaints about the PSVR2 library, there is more than enough gold in there to keep a lot of people entertained for a very long time, and some of it is truly AAA stuff. The headset itself is extremely well designed and easy to pick up and play, and the amount of tech you get is pretty nuts.
I’ve heard it’s pretty minimally supported on the PC because they’re kind of trying to get away with building half of a bridge (spoiler: it won’t work) but even without features like haptics and eye tracking, it’s a reasonable baseline headset. There may be some Bluetooth inconsistencies for some though, if I remember correctly.
- Comment on Is a Quest 3 really worth it? 2 months ago:
I will echo some of the other sentiments.
Meta sells a lot of their tech at a loss. You are not buying a VR headset with just your dollars. You are taking a huge kit of cameras and sensors hooked up to the world’s most advanced internet-connected telemetry and strapping it to your face. The data it gleans is how you’re covering a large portion, if not the majority, of the cost.
In my opinion, a PS5 and PSVR2 is the best way into VR for most people right now. I have that and a Valve Index and while the Index is awesome, it’s pretty dated and fiddly and while my computer runs it pretty well, catching up to more modern tech will cost me $2000 in upgrades and the fuss associated with building/upgrading/buying/migrating a PC.
I’m hoping Valve releases their rumored standalone headset sometime before the end of the world.

Ugh. Fucking AI slop. As if Lemmy was so huge it was actually worth putting that garbage on here antsy.

Dude, I’m not disagreeing with your point, but your presentation is beat up from the feet up.
Caveat: been drinking because gestures at everything
- At one point, you say it’s $950 a year after establishing that the actual cost is $950 after two years.
- Your investment counterexample arbitrarily includes a $200 monthly additional investment which blows everything up and makes the example pretty much incomparable
- Your investment counterexample also assumes an immediate initial outlay of $950 rather than distributing that over 24 months.
Basically you’re comparing two wildly different scenarios, which makes your point seem pretty broken, regardless of how right your actual thesis is.
TL;DR: Cancel your MMOs, play retro and discounted indie games, and stay in school, kids.
