- Comment on Nightdive's Quake 2: Enhanced, out now 1 year ago:
Awesome, the episode they added to the original Quake was fantastic so I hope this one delivers as well. Also, I never played the N64 game either. Nightdive is too good for this world.

For real. I imagine they’ll be finding someone new, but no one will ever truly be able replace him.

- Comment on A little history on Reddit. From the politics subreddit with just 85,678 users in 2008 to 500 million active users today. Lemmy/Kbin will follow the same path. 1 year ago:
Let’s not think about the Reddit of today, let’s think about Reddit of old. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
I can agree with this to a degree, but can’t we just not think of reddit? I mean, back then, I don’t recall redditors obsessing over other sites as much as I have seen on lemmy. Digg was the top dog, and I don’t recall daily threads about reddit’s numbers or how it wasn’t matching up.
It was just it’s own thing and not constantly comparing itself to it’s alleged competition. I feel like that helped it grow into it’s own thing, and we should give lemmy a chance to do the same instead of trying to turn it into reddit 2.0. That said, I might just be forgetting—there could’ve been constant ‘sky-is-falling-because-we-aren’t-Digg’ posts—but I just don’t recall them.

- Comment on Castlevania: Nocturne - Official Teaser Trailer (2023) | Edward Bluemel, Thuso Mbedu 1 year ago:
I understand why Warren Ellis was ousted, but—having read plenty of his comics back in the past—so much of what made Castlevania great was clearly his own style he brought to it. The personalities that he infused the characters with was a huge part of my personal enjoyment. I wish people would stop ruining things just because they were horny, and can’t behave appropriately.
The new writer/showrunner doesn’t have much to his name for something like this, but i’m totally willing to give it a shot.

- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion [2] 1 year ago:
Have you tried any of the other Pokémon clones? I’d be interested to hear how you think it stacks up to some of the others. I tried a few, and none really captured what I wanted. I thought Cassette Beasts looked pretty cool style-wise so it was somewhat on my radar.
- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion [2] 1 year ago:
I was on E2M6 before work got extremely hectic and I put it on pause for a while. Now that I’m finally getting back to it, I love it so much. To extend my playthrough, I’m playing it how I play classic Doom: Boltgun Start Only; No Saves (death means I start the whole level over), and Exterminatus difficulty. It’s gotten challenging but I love the mastery that comes from playing a map from the beginning again.
- Comment on ‘Futurama’ Review: New Episodes on Hulu Are Fun Fan Service, but Not Much More (And That’s OK) 1 year ago:
This was pretty much my take too. I went in wanting to love it, but it ultimately fell flat for me. I re-watched the first four seasons back when it was announced this was coming. So, maybe I did this to myself by setting the bar way too high. I’m still going to give it a chance—hoping the overreliance on meta humor was a one-off—but I’ll be tempering my expectations going forward.
- Comment on What game feels 'timeless' to you? 1 year ago:
While I do love the things people have done with GZDoom, I always find myself coming back to a more classic doom experience. Something like dsda-doom that tries to stick to rules of the originals is more my jam, and it has some nice quality of life features that don’t alter the core gameplay. There is just something about the basic and simple mechanics of base Doom II that is timeless.
If you are looking for quality WAD recommendations, there is a continually updated Doomworld Community Top WADs of All Time or you can check out the annual Cacowards that attempt to acknowledge the best new doom content created every year. Many of these wads dramatically outdo the originals in terms of map design. Eviternity—which is a favorite of mine—which comes in at #6 on that list actually had it’s creator scouted to do the maps for the boomer shooter Prodeus .
Also, even though I prefer the classic experience, my favorite weapon mod has to be Final Doomer. Brutal Doom always gets all the hype, but this one deserves a lot of love for the fact that it tried to add weapons to fit specific wads. It gave the wads it was made for so much more flavor, and, while definitely more powerful than vanilla weapons, it wasn’t to an absurd level like brutal doom.

Fantastic tool; thank you. I’ve been keeping 2 accounts—just in case—and this simplifies it significantly.
- Comment on Reddit seems all doom and gloom on the topic but what about Lemmy? And the future of Star Trek? 1 year ago:
It’s healthier than Babylon 5, which is a much smaller property, under the thumb of more incompetent leadership at Warner/AT&T/HBO/Max
Man, you weren’t kidding.
- Comment on Reddit seems all doom and gloom on the topic but what about Lemmy? And the future of Star Trek? 1 year ago:
I feel like even if paramount/paramount+ falter there will still be a demand. It’s endured for so long and is such a massive IP that it’s not going to go anywhere. It would probably just end up being on another stream service like Netflix or Prime where paramount isn’t footing the whole bill.
