- Comment on Amazon Luna and Electronic Arts sign a multi-year deal, as Luna expands into more countries 2 weeks ago:
Not that I’m super interested in most of what EA has to offer, but I will say of all the cloud streaming, I think Luna had the best performance.
- Comment on Spectre Divide to end service within 30 days, developer Mountaintop to close 5 weeks ago:
I played the Beta. It had somewhat of an interesting gimmick, but the rest didn’t feel very polished. Granted, that was the Beta.
Comparing it to FragPunk which shortly followed, Fragpunk just felt better. I’ve been enjoying it since its release.
- Comment on The Genius of Meg White's drumming for The White Stripes | Drumeo [12:38] 1 month ago:
I always love Drumeo’s “Drummer plays song they’ve only heard once” videos.
- Comment on Avowed made me scream to my doctor: “I am a wizard!” 1 month ago:
To be honest, Wizard is the best way to play Avowed.
- Comment on EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3 1 month ago:
Ah well I’m glad to see the devs sticking to their passions. I’m sure they’re proud of this move.
With that said, I’m still surprised EA didn’t try to capitalize on it somehow.
- Comment on EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3 1 month ago:
Just in general. EA has a lot to around for.
- Comment on EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3 1 month ago:
Perhaps why this feels like them trying to save face.

Reminds me of that Gabriel Iglesias bit about his son not wearing deodorant.
- Comment on Spotify Premium "Ad Free" plan 1 month ago:
Don’t worry, if you switch to Duo the messages don’t stop. They just change to “Upgrade now to a Family Plan!”
- Comment on Anon visits a bookstore 2 months ago:
I feel like this is more specifically just your average Barnes and Noble. We have two small bookstores in town, one mostly selling used books and the other is mostly new, and they are the best. Soft instrumental music, a nice atmosphere, stands displaying local authors. They’re great.
- Comment on James Bond Game by IO-Interactive 2 months ago:
I loved the first three Hitman games but I couldn’t tell your which were the last three because it’s so incredibly confusing.
- Comment on Anon makes weed eggs 3 months ago:
When he said nug, I thought for sure he was going to make ‘egg nug’.
- Comment on KING COLEOPTERA 5 months ago:
It took me a second. I don’t really care for “spectrum” being universally used to represent specifically the autism spectrum. Obviously there are other spectrums, most everything can probably be defined by a spectrum.
- Comment on There are Minimum Wages, Why Not a Maximum Wage? 5 months ago:
Absolutely, even at something like 100 * min wage. Still a hell of a lot less than what’s happening today.

I’m curious what percentage of surviving presidents are also voting for Harris.

Let’s all be glad so that we may live in concord.
- Comment on Suddenly firefox on ios shows ads on homescreen 6 months ago:
On Mobile devices, I simply don’t use the homepage. I always disable it and use a blank page.
- Comment on New Playstation firmware is going to make it harder to play games offline. 6 months ago:
To be fair, I’m pretty sure that’s how PS5 handled that scenario even before this update.
- Comment on Disney lost nearly a third of a billion dollars on two Marvel movies 6 months ago:
I took it as the image looks vaguely like she’s looking at a piece of mail or a paycheck with a concerned expression on her face, befitting of the general content of the article.
- Comment on What Undecided Voters Look Like To Everyone Else 6 months ago:
I saw this recently and would like to point out that this is actually from last election.

Half the time, streaming is virtually no different.

Well you see, there are sometimes 9 other players out there.

I’ve heard good things. I’ve been watching for it to go on sale.
- Comment on How did Call of Duty get to this point? 7 months ago:
I believe they’re referring to the slide and dive mechanics. AFAIK considering this is the first game I’ve played in awhile, you can now sprint, slide, and dive in any direction.
Think like strafe sprinting and diving around a corner as you turn your aim around behind you to shoot at someone you just dove passed.
- Comment on How did Call of Duty get to this point? 7 months ago:
The gameplay has changed so little over the years but that’s because it’s unfortunately pretty solid.
I played a lot when I was younger but stopped because I didn’t have the money, hard drive space, or internet bandwidth to keep up with the new games and updates.
With that said, I actually jumped into this beta since it was included in Game Pass and it reminded me of CoD of my youth.
Will I every give them anymore more money? Nah.
Will I play it some more via Game Pass? Maybe.
My biggest complaint is the ecosystem is cancer. They have CoD HQ that acts as a launcher but can only handle a couple games and if you select to play one of the games it can’t play, it fully closes and launches the game you want to play.
Can you simply download and launch only the game you want to play? Nope.
This is all to get your eyes on as much of their content as possible to really squeeze out those last few dollars.
The amount of players I saw with the skins that cost them $100 minimum was crazy. These are very likely the same people that buy every game every year and are precisely the target demographic they’re marketing towards.
- Comment on What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from? 7 months ago:
+1 for Populous.
But my answer to this every time is Red Faction (1, specifically. While I did enjoy Guerrilla, I want to see a throw back to more fully destructible environments on next gen tech).

Oh no you didn’t.
