- Comment on Elden Ring Nightreign - We Played It! - IGN 5 days ago:
You either didn’t get past the start screen, or you’re trolling.
- Sekiro has a single weapon, Elden Ring has hundreds
- Sekiro has death blows and the parrying mechanic, Elden Ring has staggering, dodging and blocking
- Sekiro has prosthetic tools you can upgrade and switch through, Elden Ring only has ashes of war
- Sekiro has lots of vertical movement through grappling and jumping, Elden Ring has no comparable mechanic
Elden Ring is an evolution of the Demon Souls formula, but already with large changes. Sekiro is completely different.
- Comment on Elden Ring Nightreign - We Played It! - IGN 6 days ago:
Meh, on average more than 1.5 years between games doesn’t qualify as yearly for me, especially if you’re counting DLC.
It’s also simply not “the same monotonous bullshit”. Each game has variations and improvements, sometimes leading to drastically different gameplay (compare Sekiro and Elden Ring). Otherwise, why not also count Armored Core?
Now they are releasing an experimental spin-off that again drastically changes a bunch of mechanics, but that’s also somehow not good enough? Seems like you just don’t like their games, irrespective of how much they evolve from the Dark Souls formula.
- Comment on Elden Ring Nightreign - We Played It! - IGN 1 week ago:
Souls games are nowhere near “yearly”, and there’s been massive changes throughout the games. How do you get anything close to “yearly FIFA slop” from that?!

Love the art style, thanks for sharing the title!

Nice, hope you enjoy & have fun!
- Comment on Nine Sols - Console Launch Trailer 3 weeks ago:
In what way do they expect you to do that? I’ve been happily playing on Linux.
Or do you just want games to no longer release on consoles?

Thank you very much, I’ll give that a try later this week! Sounds great!

Interesting, I’ve never heard of Sumak!
Seems I can get it as a ground spice. How much do I roughly put into how much vinegar? Just let it sit cold, or heat it up?

Since I’ve never pickled anything, a reference to a good recipe would be great!

Please kindly fuck off. I don’t want Sonys bullshit touching these games.
- Comment on For me, Cyberpunk 2077 was uninteractive and has low replayablility value. 4 weeks ago:
“Mile wide and inch deep” is a great way to put it.
I’m playing through the game right now, and there’s a bunch of small annoyances (like getting stuck on invisible terrain while walking/driving), but I can overlook those. But so many things are lifeless beyond the basic game mechanics.
As an example, I just bought an expensive apartment. I didn’t expect a crazy cutscene or anything, but at least the person I bought it from should have shown some kind of reaction, maybe a short dialogue. But no, nothing. I pressed the button, money was subtracted, and I can enter the elevator. The person I bought it from didn’t even look up.
Compare that to something like Baldurs Gate 3, where even small unlikely interactions have surprising amounts of interactivity. The game oozes life out of every pore.
It’s depressing that this is the final state after so many updates.

I don’t think I’ve ever tried proper pickled onions. Do you have a favorite recipe? Would love to try them!
- Comment on turned them into their final form! 4 weeks ago:
Actually it’s pronounced Bologna I believe

Raw onions are criminally underrated

So how do I become conscious of that?
- Comment on What your coffee preparation method says about you 5 weeks ago:
Yes, I’m a Fedora user.
And yes, I own the Fedora type coffee thingy.
But I only use Fedora because of the great atomic variants, and I only own that thingy because I don’t drink coffee, and it’s a cheap way to still offer some to guests.

Nah, go further back and carve next to all kinds of fossils the word “dog”
- Comment on Are movies where the time loops over and over considered time travel movies? 5 weeks ago:
I’m not sure that it can be clearly delineated as a time loop or a causality loop, it’s honestly a mix of both - though you’d probably call it a causality loop, as each “instance of a person” only experiences the loop once.
- Comment on Are movies where the time loops over and over considered time travel movies? 5 weeks ago:
What about stories about time travel that ultimately form a closed loop? There’s one that has people moving forwards and backwards through time, yet forms a closed loop at the end: >!Dark!<
- Comment on Air fryers are simpler than you think, but still pretty neat [19:38] 5 weeks ago:
Well… kind of? I have a normal oven, but still appreciate my air fryer. The quality of breaded or fried foods is better than a normal oven, and I use less energy. The difference isn’t big enough to make it a completely different thing, but it’s there.
- Comment on Air fryers are simpler than you think, but still pretty neat [19:38] 5 weeks ago:
Because the comment itself is kind of useless. Do they fill food with microplastics?
- Comment on Air fryers are simpler than you think, but still pretty neat [19:38] 5 weeks ago:
You don’t need it. You won’t get the same end result with your setup, but if you don’t feel like you’re missing anything there’s no reason to get one.
- Comment on Washer estimated "1 minute left", took 13 minutes to finish 5 weeks ago:
Imagine you can set a theme of your choice like “Star Trek technobabble” for little explanations for the delay.
“Recalibrating chirality of phase discriminating amplifier for positronic brain…”
Might literally be one of the best use cases I’ve seen so far!

Ima do brussel sprouts on garlic bread just to make you mad.
- Comment on Zero to Hero 5 weeks ago:
Brussel sprouts literally have become less bitter over the last few decades, but depending on where you get yours they might still be using older variants. Maybe try a different source?
I literally just clean mine, cut them in half & remove stems, toss them with olive oil & salt & pepper, then roast them cut-side down. Perfect every time.

- Comment on An absolute bargain! 1 month ago:
If those material differences cause a layer of piss to stick to the plastic which isn’t easily cleanable and dissolves into food over time, they’re gonna care about them.
- Comment on An absolute bargain! 1 month ago:
Plastic isn’t necessarily perfect, it can e.g. be affected by substances like acids. I’d be incredibly surprised if there wasn’t a material difference between a “virgin” piss bottle and a 10-year one.
