- Comment on Square Enix acknowledges Expedition 33 success as inspiration for next Final Fantasy as turn-based is still beloved by gamers 3 days ago:
I’d love to see a remaster of 8 in 11’s engine, personally.
- Comment on What are your favorite Tactical RPGs? 1 week ago:
Front Mission was pretty fun, and it looks like there’s a remaster available that shines it up a bit. I don’t remember much about the plot, but you build and outfit a squad of mechs, and you can specialize them for guns, or melee, or rockets or what have you.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Fuck yeah, the Amiga was an amazing gaming machine. We had cracked copies of damn near everything. Wings, Lemmings, Lost Vikings, Monkey Island, Leisure Suit Larry, Blood Money, Menace, The Killing Game Show, Woody’s World, It Came From the Desert, Bubble Bobble, Elvira, Out of this World… hit after goddamn hit.
Shit, I might need to reinstall WinUAE if that’s still a thing.
- Comment on It would make my day if a bunch of drones that look like flying tacos were launched en masse during the upcoming parade. 2 weeks ago:
I get the sentiment, I do. But can we please stop associating tacos with that blubbering sludgefuck? Tacos are a beautiful thing.
- Comment on Would alcohol be as popular if it weren't a beverage? 3 weeks ago:
Bro, this is clearly a fantasy scenario where we have a non-liquid substance with the same effects as alcohol. No one’s asking you to make tequila fun dip for real.

- Comment on What would it take to make Gemini suitable to be president of the world? 3 weeks ago:
Because it’s one thing to not shame ignorance, and quite another to entertain people who are being deliberately obtuse.
- Comment on Our alternate timeline selves have watched documentaries asking what life would be like if Kennedy had been assassinated. 3 weeks ago:
I’d guess that unless you were already conceived at the time, there’s a good chance you don’t exist in a universe where Kennedy lived. Massive historical event, butterfly effects all down the timeline.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says 4 weeks ago:
They did do a lot of teasing of the moon and the Crystal Palace space station, but there are also signs in-game about a high-speed rail line to Chicago opening in 2080. So the “Chicago but wrong” descriptor might be exactly what it says on the tin.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says 4 weeks ago:
Before they get too far, can someone please make sure they have the rights to Joe Walsh’s “In The City” this time? It would be fantastic music for an intro, outro, or act break.
- Comment on "Different shit. Same day." would be a good tagline for Groundhog Day 5 weeks ago:
Where were you with this kind of genius in 1993?
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 5 weeks ago:
Not gonna lie, I was hoping they’d use some Law of Surprise stuff to give Geralt a new ward and let you create your own Witcher. But, if instead I get to do teleport strike bullshit with Ciri’s powers, I’ll be content.

- Comment on Windows Is Adding AI Agents That Can Change Your Settings 1 month ago:
Alright, that’s fucking it. Next long weekend I have, I’m figuring out how to install Bazzite.
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 1 month ago:
Try to find the nearest shaman, apothecary or herbalist and trade my future clothes/pocket contents for some hallucinogens and painless poison. I ain’t living through a time before electricity.
- Comment on I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game 2 months ago:
If you liked BG3 and Divinity 2, I’m obligated to mention the Pathfinder games: Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous. The graphics are a touch simple, but the writing is great and the detailed character building scratches an itch for me. As far as I’m concerned, Owlcat is currently the only real competition Larian has.
- Comment on Why are popes always really old? 2 months ago:
If nominated I will not run. If elected I will not serve.

So then is Lilith a harpy or a succubus?
- Comment on "Cheers", but set in a fantasy tavern. 2 months ago:
Yeah, animated is probably the way to go. Few sitcoms are going to get the budget for the costumes and makeup to not look dorky.

I guess he needs a courier buddy full of bad trivia.
You take your average dragon’s intestines and stretch ‘em out? You’re lookin’ at eh… three leagues and change.

Addendum: The local vintner who supplies the tavern is a genial bullywug named Jeremiah who no one quite understands.

- Comment on Suggestions for mouse only games? 2 months ago:
Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous too.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 2 months ago:
Can anyone recommend a distro (and desktop environment?) that’s going to be almost the same as desktop mode on the Steam deck? I’m getting more comfortable in that than I expected to be in any Linux, and to my surprise and delight I haven’t had to delve into the command line at all yet.
- Comment on What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man? 2 months ago:
I saw that one thrown around when I was searching before. I wouldn’t really be playing it for the story, but as long as the story’s there, should I be familiar with the first two?
- Comment on First-party Switch 2 games—including re-releases—all run either $70 or $80 2 months ago:
You probably want a dedicated game, but I have a lot of fun with Dragon Kart in Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
- Comment on What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man? 2 months ago:
There’s so much I want to like about Warframe, but last time I tried it I couldn’t get any sense of what a new player’s supposed to do to start progressing, or to get the story in a comprehensible way. The build timers also made me sad. I got all the parts, just give me the Rhino.
Still though, “We All Lift Together” is a certified banger.
- Comment on What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man? 2 months ago:
Ah, maybe that’s the missing ingredient. Pretty sure I don’t have that yet. I fucked off from the main story almost immediately to go find balloons and such.

Ooh, I wasn’t thinking of first-person games, but that does look pretty gnarly.
