- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 2 days ago:
My cousin and I spent a summer messing around in hitman blood money when we were younger. There’s a level that takes place in a neighborhood with a cul-de-sac. We managed to kill every single npc undetected with the snare wire and dump theoe bodies into the sewer to leave no evidence. After each level, the game generates a newspaper article to describe the events and it basically said everyone in the neighborhood just vanished.

If the game plays on your linux distro who cares what you call it?
- Comment on FromSoftware aren't abandoning single player in favour of games like Elden Ring: Nightreign, says Miyazaki 3 days ago:
Wtf did i just read? The author here admits to not caring and therefore not paying attention to what he was supposed to be “reporting” on. Video game “journalists” continue to amaze me.
- Comment on Nintendo is Bringing Us Kicking and Screaming Into the $80 Game Era with the Switch 2 3 days ago:
That’s true. I should’ve specified i use gg.deals to look for sales from 3rd party websites. Green man gaming is a pretty good one that often has $5-$10 off of new titles.

gg.deals
New steam games may have $80 price tags at some point, but most of them will end up on that site for a fraction of the price after some time. Nintendo titles might go down to $70 after a decade.
- Comment on Since they wouldn't understand phones, I'd just tell them I was speaking to demons. 1 week ago:
There was a good point explaining how the invention of email made communication a more dreaded thing. When all you could do was send written letters, it could take weeks or months to communicate with someone on another continent. When email was invented everyone thought it would make life so much easier to get a near instant reply. But now some some people have to read and send a hundred emails a day. It’s the same with cell phones. A hundred years ago we mostly didn’t have phones. Then landlines became popular but you had to be home, also you had to memorize numbers or write them down. Now everyone has a cellphone where anyone can call you at anytime and any place. It could be work related, medical related, an old friend wanting to say hi, a tech illiterate family member asking for help, someone trying to sell you something, or any other kind of spam call. Phone anxiety is completely understandable.
- Comment on Summit for Lemmy is now open source 2 weeks ago:
I’m not a developer but I believe it was the Voyager dev that explained Lemmy currently can’t do this. Apps only reach out to Lemmy servers while they are open. Push notifications would require the developers to run their own servers that the apps would reach out to while running in the background and no one wants to pay for that especially since most apps are free. I may be explaining this wrong.

In all seriousness I 100% agree. Aside from the ethical reasons behind it, it’s just really weird to do.
- Comment on Mid game review: Superliminal (2019) PS5 4 weeks ago:
I remember breaking this game on my Xbox. There is a level in which you go through a hallway to come out if the other side larger or smaller compared to the environment. Eventually you can become to large to fit through the doorway, but you can continuously go through the doorway that makes you smaller. Eventually everything became so big in the game my Xbox couldn’t handle the physics of everything and crashed lol.

Flying insects in general. When I was a kid I remember so many people’s cars being absolutely caked with dead bugs. It’s not something I see anymore.
- Comment on TSA now offers you a choice 5 weeks ago:
I vote that TSA just stands outside your house and puts you through that every day you choose to go outside. The rest of the world would be a safer place.

I work in a GI lab and one of the funniest things I heard when a patient was waking up was, “You guys were so good I’m coming back for another colonoscopy tomorrow!”
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 5 weeks ago:
DS2 is definitely the odd one of the bunch. I completely understand anyone not getting into it. There’s not really anything major that makes it stand out as being different, but like dozens of small differences that add up. There are very interesting builds that keep me coming back to play it.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 5 weeks ago:
I just made it to the Iron Keep in Dark Souls 2. Every year or two ill play through the entire Dark Souls series trying out new builds. I’m doing a dex based power stance build this time. I’ve never done power standing in DS2 before and so far it’s going well. I’m using the falchion and scimitar right now, but am likely going to try out rapiers. I did a powerstance rapiers build in Elden Ring and it was incredibly OP but very fun still. Once I get to DS3 I’ll go with an INT build, for some reason I’ve never done that in DS3.

My roommate said that Dragon Age was going to be the most woke game and that he would never spend his money on a game published by EA. He bought it day 1 and beat it 3 times. He fucking loves that game.

- Comment on Anything tempting you? 2 months ago:
Civ7 is the newest Civilization game that is coming out. Given that this c/patientgamers, I think its safe to assume OP is asking if there are any new games that you will not be patient to aquire.
For myself, I’m going to buy the new Elden Ring at release. I have not been let down by Fromsoft and feel each of the previous Souls and Soulslike games have been worth the full price.

Hitachi is another another. Hydraulic excavators, air conditioners, elevators, vibrators, and ultrasound machines (for when you trade the vibrator in for the real thing. Either way they have a product for you).

- Comment on Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week? 4 months ago:
I just started the first one, took me a few tries to really get into it but I’m enjoying it a lot now. I feel like it’s a little bit harder to get into all the lore compared to something like dragon age or elder scrolls. But the gameplay is amazing
