- Comment on New article says #StarCitizen will release in 2027-2028, we contacted the author to ask for clarification on the source and he quoted Chris Roberts himself as saying "1 or 2 Y probably after S42" 1 day ago:
“It’s Top Gun meets Star Wars ,” says Chris Roberts.
It’s vaporware meets a cult.
- Comment on Human civilization won't last forever; someday there will be a last movie ever made 3 weeks ago:
Ah, but some day the sapient squids who come after us will re-invent video recording and, assuming they tell each other stories, the industry will inevitably start up again.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 4 weeks ago:
I just started Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, as I make my way through the collection. I’m only about an hour in, but it seems like it might be a nice change of pace from the previous games. I am also getting huge Star Wars vibes off this one. Ven is a padawan, Terra is not yet granted the rank of Master. Eraqus reminds me of Qui-Gon a little, and Xehanort was clearly a Sith-y motherfucker even before what went down with Ansem.
- Comment on Ancient food are absurdly complicated. 1 month ago:
Short as it is on the cosmic scale, history’s been a pretty long time. Nobody found wheat and started making bread the next day. It was an incredibly long process that probably started with soaking the grains they were eating to make them more palatable and easier to consume. Then somebody thought to heat the wet grains. Then someone decided to crush the grains and you had porridge or gruel. A few iterations later someone comes up with a simple unleavened bread. Naturally-occurring yeast and dough left alone for a few hours could probably lead to rudimentary rising dough from there, and eventually we have brioche and marble rye.
- Comment on So is Kingdom Hearts 3 _bad_ or just the normal cringe of Kingdom Hearts? 1 month ago:
Thanks for the replies, folks. Sounds like it’s mostly pretty garbage, but the large amount of postgame bosses might be kind of fun if I turn off attractions. I do kinda want to try DDD for playing Riku, so I went ahead and got the package as the cheapest option that includes that.
If I still feel like playing 3 when I get there, it sounds like drinking my way through the Disney worlds may not be a bad idea.

- Comment on ‘There Isn’t Much Sway Held by Past Success’: Baldur’s Gate 3 actors reveal it hasn’t boosted their careers 1 month ago:
I’ve no doubt she’ll continue to do well, but I’m not sure BG3 directly helped her get the role, other than making her voice recognizable to people. I read an article that said that Sandfall did blind voice auditions for E33. They didn’t even know they’d chosen Charlie Cox until after the fact.
- Comment on Square Enix acknowledges Expedition 33 success as inspiration for next Final Fantasy as turn-based is still beloved by gamers 1 month ago:
I’d love to see a remaster of 8 in 11’s engine, personally.
- Comment on What are your favorite Tactical RPGs? 2 months 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.

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 months 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? 2 months 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? 2 months 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. 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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" 2 months 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.

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? 3 months 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 3 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.

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. 4 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.
