- Comment on Can you see yourself cutting off by a generation of gaming? 2 weeks ago:
I’m a single player/casual coop guy for sure. I enjoy some multiplayer but not if it’s crazy competitive. I’m not going to enjoy getting stomped by kids screaming into voip.
So yeah I know what I’m most likely to enjoy but I’ll always keep an eye out for new stuff. And indie games seem to leverage older design principles. And it looks like true remakes are becoming more common
- Comment on Favourite games to play around Christmas time? 5 weeks ago:
Army Men Sarge’s Heroes has two Christmas levels, but the last one is the final boss where you fight a dreaded poodle. It’s flawed but I usually dust it off and give it a play
I was super stoked when Rising Storm 2 had their christmas event come out in 2018. It was a great mix serious and fun gameplay with the army men concept done with a level of polish I’ve never seen. Before the gsme died out I had a ton of fun for several christmasses!
I have a fond memory of being a radioman following the green faction commander around. We got pinned down behind some legos. The game mode keeps all the base game sound effects so when the commander peeked out and took a hit I got to listen to this long agonising stretch of gurgles and choking breaths while fighting for a kid’s craft table lol

The Long Dark is not for everyone but for me it’s awesome
- Comment on What do people (as in, IRL) actually think of the [alleged] perpetrator involved in the NYC shooting? 1 month ago:
I can’t say I’m surprised it happened. I’m kinda surprised it didn’t happen sooner considering some of the games companies can play and the emotions involved. The timing kinda sucks because the kids who had nothing to do with the business won’t have another Christmas without thinking of the time they had to bury their dad.
I’m glad that of all the options the shooter chose to be about as surgical as they could be. Better to target one heavily involved person than a mass shooting at a hospital, office etc where most people have nothing to do with big picture decision making.
Now I’m concerned about copycats that won’t be as considerate and kneejerk legal repercussions since I enjoy the 2nd amendment and use suppressors often. I think this is the first real crime I’ve heard of with a suppressor used.
- Comment on Is it possible to fix one's eyesight? What are working methods? What is to be cautious about? 1 month ago:
A few thousand dollars per eye is what I heard but insurance covers a vast majority of that. You’ll have to do your research. Just don’t go to the cheapest place because again it’s your eyes
- Comment on Is it possible to fix one's eyesight? What are working methods? What is to be cautious about? 1 month ago:
Lasik, prk and others. You’ll want the most experienced doctors you can so shop around. It’s your eyes after all.
Ask your current eye doc and they should point you in the right direction

Wait WHAT?
- Comment on Ghost Recon 2001 with Heroes Unleashed Still Plays Well 1 month ago:
Oh man I think you’re going to like it! ghostrecon.net should still have it. Give it a shot for a few missions and see what you like/dislike.
Then go into the mod folder, XTRAS, HU Add-On Mods. Extract the ones you want to play with into the main mod folder for Ghost Recon and activate them in the game’s mod screen

- Comment on Years later, I finally completed Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 months ago:
Yeah it took a minute to get used to that save system and I have been burned a few times. Sometimes I would take advantage of the “save and quit” option instead of using one of the drink saves. Or take a nap on some rando’s bed for an hour!
It does get better as you go everything is a lot harder. Once you get some armor, a horse and some practice fights in it goes a lot smoother. And running away is always an option

- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 2 months ago:
Sure the US may be past it’s glory days. Hell even the Rand Corporation (who write a bunch of stuff for govt leaders and other high ups) says it’s been trending downhill since some point in the early 2000s.
Essentially the paper says the last 200 years have been an anomaly and we’re slowly sliding back to historical norms. They call it the neomedieval era and it’s not just the US.
- Comment on A guy just got arrested in Houston US for allegedly being an ISIS member. I grew up in Reagan and 911 era are these people just saying this or are they actively buying bombs? 2 months ago:
I think being in direct contact with another known member with similar intent would do it

- Comment on YSK: US Senate offices pay attention to how many constituents are calling them on a topic. Democracy doesn't end at the ballot box 2 months ago:
Being aware of local and state politics is always a good thing to do and so much stuff is streamed since Covid. It makes you an informed voter and it’s where most of the stuff that impacts you will take place. Marijuana is one example of the impact of state law winning out over federal law for example.
Reach out in any form you choose. Get to know them and what they stand for through their actions. Explain how things will effect you and people you know. Like anywhere else being an asshole is not the way to go. You might not change their mind but reminding them that everyday voters are paying attention has an effect even if you respectfully disagree.

- Comment on I'll share a troubling fact with you if you share one with me 3 months ago:
If a nuclear missile is launched at the United States the President has just 6 minutes to come to terms with that and decide to launch a counter attack.
If that counter attack is headed to North Korea, any land based missiles will head over the arctic circle, over Russian airspace where similar shoot/no shoot decisions will have to be made.

I imagine that’s only if you market it as drugs.
“Hey you got the good drugs?” “Yeah here”
But what if you played the long con, started…say a salt distribution ring. Have a run down house full of it, sell it in baggies, make it look as suspicious as possible only for them to do stakeouts, get informants in there, just to find you are not doing anything illegal at all, it just has all the signs without the actual law breaking
“Hey you got the good salt?” “Yeah here”
goes back to the police lab
“wtf? It’s just salt?”
Then they would just think the informant got compromised and have to raid the house lol
