Check out the rest of Posy’s channel. Some really good stuff from this guy
- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion 4 months ago:
Yakuza 2 on Steam Deck, after completing (not 100%) Y0 and Y1. Planning to keep playing them in order, until Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth comes out.
I’m new to the series, and loving it. Can’t wait to get back home (traveling now) and move from Deck to my PC, high resolution and maxed quality.
- Comment on ‘Front page of the internet’: how social media’s biggest user protest rocked Reddit 4 months ago:
None of the Reddit interfaces were ever any good IMHO. The service was only usable thanks to third party readers that redefined its user experience. Without them it’s about as pleasant as gopher.
- Comment on ‘Front page of the internet’: how social media’s biggest user protest rocked Reddit 4 months ago:
Yup. Both the desktop website and the official app are garbage UX. With no third party app option, I could not use Reddit even if I wanted to.
- Comment on Saints Row – free to keep today on Epic Games Store 4 months ago:
I use Epic launcher for all my Unreal work. Still, I can’t be bothered to turn on the games store and redeem free games - while willingly paying for new ones on Steam. The UX is just that bad.
- Comment on Is the word Alphabet literally just a conjunction made from the first two letters of the Greek alphabet? 4 months ago:
Fun fact - in Polish language the word alfabet exists as a technical name of the alphabet. There is also a more casual word, often used by children: abecadło which is basically polish way of saying “The ABCs”.

Wow, thanks! I guess there’s always a chance to learn something new!

Great pick. Awesome song from the good days of Tim.

Doesn’t the bubbly reaction do anything? It sure looks impressive.
- Comment on How to remove smell from lunch box? 4 months ago:
Whenever I’m in doubt about cleaning, I try sprinkling a good amount of baking soda and then pouring copious amounts of vinegar, then letting it do its thing. It’s an inexpensive experiment to try and could solve your problem.
- Comment on i made a speadsheet to get through my backlog a while ago and today i hit my milestone for the year. 4 months ago:
THAT’s a long list? I have more unplayed titles INSTALLED than this whole spreadsheet. I once attempted to create a system to organize my backlog but just gave up due to volume. I think I may have a game hoarding problem.
- Comment on Ignorance is only really appreciated in retrospect. But the damage happens in the present. So how do we avoid the damage? 4 months ago:
I like to remind myself Tim Minchin’s song “The Fence” and remember that I don’t always have to have the answer or the opinion on every single topic. vimeo.com/410679852
- Comment on GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles 5 months ago:
Naturally. Rockstar likes to resell their titles no less than Bethesda. They will sell it to you on PS5 and series x/s, then again on PS6 and whatever Xbox will be around. Then probably Nintendo platform, finally PC.
This way they maximize the amount of times some people will buy the same game, each time with minimal quality upgrade.
Same as their previous titles. It’s not that they didn’t learn. They have the numbers and know very well what they’re doing.
- Comment on The Game Awards 2023 will run roughly 2.5 to 3 hours and feature more new game reveals, confirms Geoff Keighley. 5 months ago:
Would have never guessed.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 1 5 months ago:
Looks like an absolute celebration of all the worst things America is known for. Pass, thanks.
- Comment on GTA 6 trailer coming Tuesday, Rockstar announces 5 months ago:
The two GTAs I actually lived and finished are from before Rockstar era: GTA and GTA2 - the 2D ones. I played all the big open world Rockstar titles (except for Bully) and I think I’m just not the right audience for what they are making.
- Comment on GTA 6 trailer coming Tuesday, Rockstar announces 5 months ago:
Never gotten further than about 5 hours into any Rockstar game. This time I’ll just let the hype pass me by.
- Comment on Did Amazon change their theme colors or did I unknowingly change them myself? 5 months ago:
Could be a black Friday palette swap?
- Comment on Grown Adult Coward: 'I'm OK With Just Watching Alan Wake II' - Aftermath 5 months ago:
With no steam release I’m taking the same route. Love looking at remedy games, don’t enjoy playing them.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
The 2008 Prince of Persia.
What was expected to be a start of a series revival, flopped and ended up with a kinda messy PC port, platform exclusive DLC epilogue and eventually abandonment in favor of return to sands of time mythos.
Meanwhile it is my favorite entry in the series - with amazing art direction, and lovely character development and vocal performances by two main characters. The gameplay is a cross of guitar hero and parkour - it’s much more rhythm based and perhaps less expensive, but pulling off a perfect run feels soooo good.
I love the game so much that even though I’m not a YouTuber, I created a full playthrough and published it - just so I can stop wanting to play it again every few years.

Yummmm. I mean, no yumm, but so pretty.

Near Seattle and I see them everywhere these days.
- Comment on Netflix is planning to raise prices… again 6 months ago:
All these services from Netflix to Uber are built on understandable foundations. They lose a ton of money in their first phase in order to gain subscribers but sooner or later start looking to turn profit out at least stop the bleeding.
I can already hear the outcry of surprised gamers when Microsoft cracks the whip on their Game Pass pricing, and there will be little to no alternative because they bought out most of the studios and publishers.

- Comment on Military Time vs 24hr? 6 months ago:
Look up the “theory of American exceptionalism”. In short there is a very strong belief here that America is one of a kind and things that may work for others simply don’t apply here.
Explains why the US stocks a 12hr clock, messed up month/day/year mission, imperial measurement and a ton of other things that any foreigner will find anywhere from quirky to infuriating.
IMHO the exceptionalism theory is a b.s. lazy way of keeping things conservative and unchanged and shutting down any discussion of uncomfortable progress.
- Comment on Elite Dangerous studio Frontier Developments announce layoffs and "organisational review" 6 months ago:
I may be wrong, but I think they completely discounted console updates (and probably will do so with PC too). Ellie in VR was something to behold though. Hours of fun.
