- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Release for Only $20, Release Times Revealed 2 days ago:
I’ve literally experienced none of what you’re saying. Sounds like you need to stop interacting with certain places.
There are even people in here saying the game wasn’t for them but they’re not being miserable about it.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Release for Only $20, Release Times Revealed 2 days ago:
Who is the miserable one here? You’re hoping for people to be disappointed in a game they’re excited about. Let them have their fun. If the game isn’t for you, no need to hope others don’t enjoy it.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Release for Only $20, Release Times Revealed 2 days ago:
I think you may have missed the “for me” in that users sentence. It’s their opinion that Blasphemous 2 is more enjoyable than Hollow Knight.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Release for Only $20, Release Times Revealed 3 days ago:
It’s not their fault way too many people were so obsessed with their game that they made daily shitposts about it.
Honestly I was annoyed by all of the Silksong stuff as well over the years, and perhaps it will be overhyped but after watching the trailer I feel like I can at least say Team Cherry put in the work that got my excited, despite all the internets noise. And why shouldn’t they try to get people to buy their game with good PR?
The team is 3 or 4 people, and they’re releasing their sequel game to a beloved by many indie hit for $20. In 2025. We shouldn’t be annoyed at them.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch Console & Accessory Prices Are Going Up In The US 4 weeks ago:
We’ve always been affected by American prices of things. Some things fly under the radar and will be slightly cheaper here, but for the most part, the prices here are matched market price of the US, despite having a weaker dollar.
I can’t imagine anyone would want to buy new games or old consoles for these insane prices, but then the Switch 2 did crazy numbers, so what the fuck do I know?

I just started Act 3, unaware of the specific changes to the patch, and was surprised when “retry the battle?” Popped up.
Very useful!
- Comment on The industry filed false claims against the "Stop Killing Games" initiative | Accursed Farms 1 month ago:
I think it’s interesting that people have to attach their names and prove they’re real to sign this, but serious complaints can be filed anonymously. I’m not European, so do this mean anyone random can file complaints? Or it’s done somehow officially, just shows up anonymously?
I’m asking to understand how this works because this could not be the industry entirely.
- Comment on The industry filed false claims against the "Stop Killing Games" initiative | Accursed Farms 1 month ago:
I was looking forward to some conversation regarding this subject in the comments, instead all we’ve got is people talking about text vs video, and drawing any attention away from actually discussing the video.
Great.
- Comment on Capcom reveals Resident Evil Requiem started as an online game, ‘but we realised fans didn’t want it’ 2 months ago:
Truly, it’s great to hear that they understand what fans of the series actually want.
- Comment on Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun! 2 months ago:
Since Eldem Rings success, fromsoft games don’t get deep discounts, really. They raised prices for the Dark Souls games, as well.
- Comment on New report suggests third-party Switch 2 game sales are "below estimates" 2 months ago:
Womder how it’d be if they didn’t include a cheaper Mario Kart bundle, as well. I had many people arguing with me that the price of MKW wasn’t $80 because of the bundle.
- Comment on Top D&D designers join Critical Role after quitting Wizards of the Coast 2 months ago:
5.5, in my opinion, is a very corporate edition of the game. There wasn’t any actual change or reason for a new edition other than Hasbro wanted D&DBeyond and the money it got, and the way to do that was make a “new edition”. But people liked and were playing 5e so, make a backwards compatible system that’s totally the same thing.
The 2024 version of D&D, in my eyes, doesn’t fix any of the actual issues with the game. They change some wording and change some abilities but none of the core issues are dealt with. So to me, it’s a pointless cash grab.
- Comment on Switch 2 Teardown: Still Glued, Still Soldered, Still Drifting 2 months ago:
While I’m not a huge fan of BotW and TotK, I think it’s a disservice to say they were a cheap way to pump out games. You can see the design intent in both exploration and gameplay mechanics. There’s a lot that works well in those games that allows for the player to continue playing for a while and still have fun.
And this is probably the only time I’d be seen defending those games.
- Comment on A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"? 2 months ago:
Which is funny since I’ve played all three of those for the first time recently, and FF7 doesn’t hold up in comparison to 8 and 9. But I can see at the time how 8 could be seen poorly in comparison to 7 and 9.
- Comment on What's an absolutely medium quality game? Not great, incredible or terrible or any single ended extreme. Dead medium quality 2 months ago:
I bought it quite cheap because it looked like a fun time, and have over the years since played through it 3 times. The gameplay mechanics are a blast.
- Comment on What's an absolutely medium quality game? Not great, incredible or terrible or any single ended extreme. Dead medium quality 2 months ago:
I never had an Xbox, so really only grew up playing Halo Reach (I think) co-op when I’d go to a friend’s house. But I recently played through most of the halo games with a friend and I have to say, I agree. I can’t remember any particular moments or scenarios, no part of the story that stands out in my mind, etc. It was perfectly fun to run through most of them (though we did get tired of it, which is why I said “most of the games”), and I can certainly see why for when they came out, they received the attention they did.
- Comment on Persona 4 Revival - Teaser Trailer 2 months ago:
I know people will tell me I’m wrong, but I dropped P3R because of the dungeons. So if 4R is more of the same, I doubt it’s something I want to play.
- Comment on Resident Evil Requiem - Reveal Trailer 2 months ago:
The reference to that in the RE7 DLC was hilarious.
- Comment on CD Projekt exec says "the right thing to do" is release a real Nintendo Switch 2 cartridge for Cyberpunk 2077, not a game-key card, in message to other studios: "Do not underestimate the physical edit 3 months ago:
Oh absolutely. I know it wasn’t super janky for everyone - but the fact is that it was so broken on launch for not just PC, but PS as well. The mass refunds, which Sony has never done, etc. Denying that this was a thing is what the narrative seems to be for many.
I’m glad it worked for you on launch, and hope you had a great time playing it!
- Comment on CD Projekt exec says "the right thing to do" is release a real Nintendo Switch 2 cartridge for Cyberpunk 2077, not a game-key card, in message to other studios: "Do not underestimate the physical edit 3 months ago:
It’s why I’ll never get it unless obtained for the good ol’ price of free. I’m glad people are enjoying it and it’s much improved over the trash pile they delivered! But it’s still a very different game than advertised.
Frankly, it’s concerning how quickly the narrative shifted on this. You’d think with the internet recording the whole fiasco, there wouldn’t be a quick narrative shift and misinformation on the subject, but people have convinced themselves the launch wasn’t that bad, Sony somehow screwed them and this is what they said the game would be!
- Comment on Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game 3 months ago:
So what’s the difference for Nintendo fans that love any Mario or Zelda game, for example? I’m not trying to be an ass here, but what makes your specific “I only buy this full price” a better decision than someone else’s “I only buy this at full price”?
- Comment on Breath of Fire IV released on GoG 4 months ago:
That’s amazing! Great news. Unfortunately it’s the much uglier looking PC port - which is to be expected, sadly. But if this gets more people to play Breath of Fire, I won’t complain.
- Comment on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include the DLC 4 months ago:
Bad timing on this comment, with Larian releasing 8 new subclasses for Baldurs Gate 3 for free in a few days.
- Comment on Baldur’s Gate 3 is getting 12 new subclasses next week 4 months ago:
It doesn’t make much sense, does it?
- Comment on Baldur’s Gate 3 is getting 12 new subclasses next week 4 months ago:
Believe they’re talking about in D&D, the TTRPG itself.
- Comment on 6 years and 1 prolonged delay later, Xbox is still calling "incredible" Hollow Knight: Silksong one of its "upcoming games" 5 months ago:
They do kinda owe people something - at least those that contributed to the funding of the first game. Silksong was originally a 2nd playable character that was unlocked as a reward from the Kickstarter for Hollow Knight. Then it turned into a DLC, and now it’s turned into a full game.
- Comment on Here Are The Specs For The Retroid Pocket Flip 2 | Time Extension 5 months ago:
I know Retroid are kind of the more “affordable” option, but after my RP3+ broke from just regular use, and them not helping me because of discontinued support for the device, I don’t really want to spend more money on them. At this point I’d probably rather save for a steamdeck, despite it being huge and clunky.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 6 months ago:
I’m still meaning to try any of the silent hill games, but I’ve played both the priginal RE4 and the new remake multiple times each. I think they’re both fantastic.
- Comment on Kamiya Critiques Wii Version of Okami | Retro Gaming News 24/7 6 months ago:
I played the Wii and the HD. Both many times, but I couldn’t tell you the difference other than the controls. Not sure if that says more about me, or the game…
- Comment on It's 2025 now, what are the games you'll be starting the year with? 7 months ago:
I don’t think it sucks, but I have a lot of opinions about some of the balancing and character abilities.
It’s fun enough for me and I enjoy playin with friends, but I don’t think I’ve quite found a character that really speaks to how I like to play - which is a bit odd considering how many characters there are.
