- Comment on Pet Peeves with Games? 2 days ago:
I love the way they handled this in Doom Eternal - 6 out of your 7 basic weapons are matched in pairs, so you have 4 ammo types, but very low max ammo count for all of them. Instead you can pretty easily refill your ammo every ~20 seconds (using your chainsaw on an enemy drops ammo, and your chainsaw regens one fuel every ~20 seconds).
This means you never have an incentive to use weak weapons, EXCEPT for if you’re waiting for your fuel to regen. What makes it work is that your “weak weapons” changes depending on the enemies, as every enemy has at least one weakpoint for one of your weapons.
So instead of making you play cautiously and conservatively, Eternal wants you to always use your best weapons and to aggressively push forward. This type of gameplay isn’t for everyone, but as someone who usually ends their games with almost all items because “I might need them later!”, Eternal really allowed me to just have fun with all the best stuff it has to offer.

Just because that’s what you see on photos doesn’t mean it’s the only way to grow it, it just means it’s the most efficient way. I had a quick look and found multiple sources corroborating GPs information: rice doesn’t need to be under centimeters of water, it’s only done to improve yield (by combatting weeds and pests).

My neighbors have a Maine Coon, that dude is already pretty big. And I think cheetahs are almost the same size. So I’ll go ahead and assume you’re a giant.

FUCK YES! I was so bummed that Pharloom Bay and the Lifeblood Spire were cut, looks like we’ll be getting all that & more!

Then I’ll hold off on adding even more to the pile, but I can definitely recommend Lies of P.
Oh man, brace yourself! Dispatch is amazing. Came out of nowhere for me, and blew me away!

No no. “Ph.D.” stands for “Phillip Dick”, an old drinking pal of Sam Altman. According to some interviews, you can ask him pretty much anything and get a response.

Silksong - I had hyped myself up way too much, yet it still delivered. Absolute masterpiece.
Dispatch - I finally understand why people enjoyed Telltale games so much. The writing is great, the characters are interesting, just all around a great experience.
Lies of P - Overture - I finally finished Lies of P & played Overture a few weeks back, after dropping off the game twice in the last years. Wow, that was great! And honestly more emotional than I’d expected.
- Comment on What are your gaming highlights of 2025? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t wanna hype you up too much - but I’d been looking forward to playing Silksong almost since it was announced and had very high expectations, and it did not disappoint!

But the dog can fail to walk before he ever walked, so you’re not describing him walking, you’re telling him to start walking.

Are you talking about 30cm traffic cones? Unfortunately I don’t ever see them used since they’re not allowed for any real work. The smallest I can try are 50cm, but that’s pretty big already.
