- Comment on Sony faces another class-action lawsuit over PlayStation Store prices and monopolistic practices 2 weeks ago:
I like to read the comments left by people/“people” on these types of websites, and all those comments were basically saying that this is a little overstepping since “there is plenty of competition” i.e. Xbox and Nintendo.
One of them even said something about “imagine DRM on like your tractor” or something like that, and boy howdy do I wish I didn’t have to create an account to comment back, “Like John Deere…?”
- Comment on Nexus Mods' new owners promise they won't monetise the site to death as users panic at the whiff of venture capital 3 weeks ago:
This is tragic. I have been on NexusMods since the 2000s. I learned how to mod games because of that site. I will be pouring one out for this landmark of a website after work today. Paid for Lifetime and everything, because the website made it easy to find, install, and update mods for any given game that supported mods. Damn, man. Damn.

And people will STILL try to push the door, or wait for it to open.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says 1 month ago:
Yeah, I had it on PC and while there were plenty of bugs, I still beat it before patch 1.06 or whatever came out. Still had quite a lot of fun!
Now, the console releases on the other hand… yikes man. Yikes…

Voluntary censorship is just so weird to me… Like, people died so you could speak freely, and yet you censor fkn… Wow.
- Comment on Day 309 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing 1 month ago:
I’ve always started with the Dark Brotherhood (it’s my favorite quest line in the Elder Scrolls games), so by the time I get to the Fighter’s Guild, it feels pretty lackluster.
Maybe that won’t be an issue for you though, hopefully!
Cheers! :)

Hey, Atticus! Good to see you playing one of the games that really opened my eyes to PC gaming!
I do believe the painting is the Count himself, and like StoveTop said, maybe supposed to be way before he became a vampire, or made to not look like one!
I’m about to finish up the Fighter’s Guild questline, and then for the main game, all I will have left is the story mode. After that, I can finally do my favorite part, The Shivering Isles!
Love to see people enjoy this “classic”! (my knees cracked typing that one, oof.)
- Comment on My brain lags 1 month ago:
I forget what video I watched that explained this, but it essentially said:
“The audio mixing is correct. It is mixed for full surround sound, like those you see in home theaters (probably the very expensive setups!) and actual theaters. There is no reason to have dual-mixed sound, one for those with stereo speakers and one for the surround sound setups, so they don’t.”
- Comment on The McRecession - Has Fast Food Cooked Itself? 1 month ago:
Imagine getting people to eat (slightly, if anything) healthier because you are now more expensive than the actual freshly cooked food around your location.
As always, corpos have the biggest of brains.

Same for the Black and White games!
- Comment on Could I render the computer-generated graphics from Toy Story (1995) in real time using a single modern home computer? 2 months ago:
Kingdom Hearts 3 Toy Story world looked damn close to the original, so I’d assume maybe if work was put into it?
- Comment on women are the devil 2 months ago:
I used to look into conspiracy stuff, and came out laughing at them after seeing the first tRump presidency, and realizing the government isn’t even smart enough to handle actual problems, let alone a “NWO” (New World Order"). Sorry guys, incompetence all the way up!
P.S. I never fully believed them, but some of the stuff was interesting to think about at the least. Now, I don’t ever care about them because they make less sense than ever. Jewish space lasers, amiright?
- Comment on MMO scholar puts a $500 bounty on old versions of RuneScape as part of a community archive project: "You might have ALL of the game's lost versions!" 3 months ago:
I know it’s not the old school version they’re after (I believe they’re going for RuneScape 1?) but 2009scape exists for anyone else interested. Fully playable offline in single player mode, with bots as other “players”, plenty of options like GE buying and selling for the bots, and others. You can also play with other real players by using the launcher too, but I’ve only tried it in single player due to me just trying to scratch that RuneScape itch! Haha!
Here is the official website. They’ve recently moved their project off of GitHub and now host it on Gitlab.
- Comment on Technology isn't fun anymore 3 months ago:
I just watched this yesterday!
Drew made some very good points while still being understandable enough to those that aren’t as up to par with what is going wrong in the world. Really well done video, and so was his gambling dilemma video!
Thanks for sharing!
- Comment on Thinkpad for the win 3 months ago:
I was only there for two months before they shuttered, unfortunately, so I was not able to meet many of those. It didn’t help with that matter that it was completely remote work. :(
- Comment on Thinkpad for the win 3 months ago:
Yeah, the firmware lock is some crazy bullshit. My old job was dissolved which means I get to have a perfectly usable iMac but… oh wait. I can’t do anything with it because of the firmware lock and I can’t return it because the company literally shuttered. So, I keep it for the day that MAYBE I will be able to use it. LOL

It was pretty good! I hope you enjoy it when you do get to play! :)

- Comment on Emulating PS2 for my Steam Deck, would love any recommendations! 4 months ago:
Def Jam: Fight for NY, dot hack series (originals and G.U.), King’s Field 4, Monster Rancher 4, Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition, and quite a few more. I can’t look at the games I have installed just yet, but I could always recommend more if anyone is interested. :)
- Comment on I am from a different millenia 4 months ago:
I had so much fun experimenting with all the discs in our household with Monster Rancher 4. Thanks for bringing that memory back!
- Comment on The PlayStation Network outage proves PC gamers were right to resist its mandatory sign-in requirement 4 months ago:
Yeah, some of the Steam reviews on God of War Ragnarok were almost exactly like this.
“Oh, no! You have to use a third-party login to play your game! Get over it, it’s a great game, who cares about you having to go out of your way to arbitrarily create an account for a platform you’ve never used before!” - essentially.
Fucking shit eaters.

Do you have a good source for learning about .zims? I’ve only ever seen it as Wikipedia use. :)
- Comment on Got these two most awful yt reccommendations when watching the 50501 protest livestreams. 5 months ago:
I understand. I was more of making the point that YouTube will continue to do this, and warning others to be prepared for the worst!

I’ve been downloading my favorite long form retrospective videos for a few weeks now getting ready for YouTube just shit itself in stupidity.

Good to see you. :)
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
Well, at first I was begrudgingly trying to find SOME way to not use it. I don’t want it, I don’t need it, and the game most definitely does not need it.
Then, after an hour of trying to find that avenue, I said, “Okay. I have a PSN account from way back on the PS3, so I’ll just fucking use that I guess.”
Cue to me finding my login stuff, trying to log in, getting a password reset prompt, click the reset password link, and wait for the email to arrive.
Dear reader, the email NEVER arrived, and then they would say that I had sent a request already and then I said fuck this, fuck Sony, I’ll just pirate the game.
Then, I was able to play the fucking game.

Thank you!
I’ve played through them before way back on the Xbox 360, but Steam had a sale for them a couple of years ago for like $20, so I couldn’t resist getting them for a superior platform.
The EA app is by and large the only thing that truly sucks about these games. I already beat Mass Effect 1 again, and damn is that game boring at times. The story is still great of course, but it definitely shows it’s age! Mods have alleviated most of what I hated (looking at you MAKO…) and now I am about 75% through Mass Effect 2. I’ve beat ME3 before, but it has been so long that I’m hoping it isn’t as bad as I remember.
I played Mass Effect 2 first at the time, because I was renting games from a local video rental place. Loved it to bits. It’s crazy being able to play it with Alec Ryder’s armor from Andromeda. Fits Shep to a T!
