- Comment on I have An Idea for A Better Space, SciFi, Exploration Entertainment, Than Even ‘Star Trek’. 1 week ago:
You’ve got the vaguest beginning of an outline of a setting. If you want it to be great entertainment, you’ve got to give it a story and characters. It takes a lot of work to create all of that. You can’t just hand off this description to the world and act like other people are going to pick it up for you. Don’t tell me it’s better than Star Trek, show me.

- Comment on Do you preorder games? 1 week ago:
I don’t anyone should preorder. It’s a predatory way to suck a full price of the game or even higher than normal price using often laughably cheap benefits to drum up FOMO.
For me personally, I rarely have interest in brand new AAA games, which are the most guilty of pre-order sales tactics, so the problem more or less solves itself.
Early Access games can be a different story. I’m more willing to throw money at a small studio or solo project that appears to have some passion behind it. Even so I only spend with the mindset that whatever state the game is in might be all I ever get, so match the price to that expectation. I recently played through Deathtrash. It’s unfinished and is historically slow to get updates, however for the $11 I got it for on sale, it had a lot of content and I felt happy with what I got.
Project Zomboid is another example of a “permanently Early Access” game. It might never get out of Early Access but it has so much content now that $20 is a perfectly acceptable price. The history of devs supporting it and the community around it means support for it is unlikely to simply disappear.
- Comment on How does internet advertising work? Where is all the money coming from? More... 1 week ago:
If you think the number of people that use ad blockers is not a fraction of a percent of internet users, you’re in a bubble.
Nowhere near the majority, but also not a “fraction of a percent.”

- Comment on My N64 game collection. Not the most expansive but it is a lot of fun. 1 week ago:
I don’t feel bad about buying retro games because it’s not like Nintendo gets a cut. The N64 is the newest Nintendo system I have any interest in, so I dodge all the issues of supporting the company.

That’s all of them.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Casts Sulu and Bones for Series Finale 1 week ago:
Scotty should be too though.
Of all the original main characters I accept having aged up actors, Bones is the one that I most easily accept.
That doesn’t mean I need or want to accept other characters being aged up just to match. Bones being played by someone a little older is not a huge deal.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Casts Sulu and Bones for Series Finale 1 week ago:
He’s only ten years older than DeForest Kelly was in 1966. Of all the original main characters I accept having aged up actors, Bones is the one that I most easily accept.

Perfect. I don’t notice any lag.
FWIW, I don’t like the sequel games nearly as much so maybe the development overall of the first game was better.

I’m not a hardcore collector. Most of these were kept by me or scavenged from people I know who were clearing old stuff out.
If I ever sit down and get through all the games to the point I’m bored of them, I might try and find a reasonably priced copy of Majora’s Mask though.

Sadly no, I took the expedient route and exchanged money for it.

It’s a great game, it feels right on the N64. The PC version to me just feels off.
It’s got great missions, and I really like the variety of fighters. It even has the Naboo fighter as a secret, which blew my mind to see before the movie was actually out.

Honestly I never really liked it single player. The Star Wars podracer game keeps me way more engaged. The customization really helps.

- Comment on Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases 2 weeks ago:
This is partially why I’ve lost all interest in ultra-realistic, cutting edge graphics. I know that with them comes so much bloat that they are difficult to run, and really I realized how little I care about those.

He’s actually talked about that other extreme, though I don’t recall which video. Sometimes it will be ultra optimizing something that ends up entirely cut, or optimizing it to the point where it’s inflexible.

Tim Cain (the lead on the original Fallout and a long time programmer) talked about his experience being a programmer for hire at a major studio later in his career. It as a culture shock for him to see younger programmers basically doing no optimization. When he talked to them about it the attitude was basically that it wasn’t worth the time to do, since none of the higher ups cared about it, and the programmers could easily get whatever they assignment was done with bloated, unoptimized code. There wasn’t any experience in optimizing or a culture of doing it.

All the new releases were under $20 indie or “AA” games like Microprose published titles.

Slow clap, Mr. Mulder. Slow clap.
The last horse has finally crossed the finish line. I suppose now the real question is…what are you going to do about it?
- Comment on Are you sure about that? 3 weeks ago:
Scully believed in the high level idea of the X-Files since nearly the very beginning. That’s why she stayed loyal to Mulder. Scully often doesn’t believe in specific theories pushed by Mulder in individual episodes, and she is often correct that his initial theory is wrong.
