I love the nicknames!

Whopsie, yes, my bad. The two always get mixed in my mind.
- Comment on Legendary game designer, programmer, Space Invaders champion, and LGBTQ trailblazer Rebecca Heineman has died 3 days ago:
About the LGBTQ part: she was working at EA when she transitioned, and she recounted acceptance and support for trans people was codified in her workplace, in a time when transitioning often meant discrimination, rejection and even job loss.
People don’t always remember that EA were the “good guys” before they made bank with Sims and CoD.

Her hour long speech about how 3DO Doom came to be is legendary. If you don’t have the time to listen to it in its entirety, I recommend StopSkeletonsFromFighting’s summary.

Do we know who was to blame for that? Last I heard, the publisher and the developers were pointing fingers at each other.

Is that still the only modern day gameplay segment of the entire franchise?
Kind of wild that they never revisited the idea.

Oh, absolutely. Which is why I avoid popular social media: you just end up drowning in AI/botted content.

I love how so many people on Reddit are acting like this is a complete shock. That site has been a cesspool of bots and targeted ads for years now, people still believed they were having real conversations with humans? I’d be surprised if legit content was higher than 50%.

If you like Max Payne, I also recommend Stranglehold. It’s a canonical sequel to John Woo’s Hard Boiled, and it’s a lot of fun, albeit on the short side.

That’s a nostalgic pic.
- Comment on Resident Evil 0 and Resident Evil Remaster, now on GOG 3 weeks ago:
I love GoG, but I wish it stopped getting games so late that, but the time they release on it, I’ve already bought them on two competing platforms.
Aside from that, this is a solid release. RE1make is one of the best horror games ever made: I was scared shitless even on my third playthrough. Highly recommended if you want a good game for Halloween night.
- Comment on Over 47% of Stop Killing Games Signatures Have Already Been Verified 3 weeks ago:
I signed this petition. I’ve also signed other petitions over the years, I regularly donate to WWF and do other activities that I deem worthy of my time and money.
Caring about games preservation doesn’t mean that I only care about games preservation.
Also, why is it that games preservation is a first world problem, but “stop putting ads everywhere” isn’t? Where do you draw the line?
- Comment on More than 1,200 games journalists have left the media in the last two years | VGC 4 weeks ago:
Journalism at large is dangerously close to dying. People favour free click- and rage-bait headlines on Facebook over quality journalism. The latter can’t compete because quality costs money, while cheap quality articles oversaturate the market. AI only exacerbated the issue.
- Comment on Does you feel Crash Team Racing was better than Mario Kart? 4 weeks ago:
I suppose it depends heavily on nostalgia.
I have no attachment to Nintendo brands nor Mario Kart in particular. My sister bought a Mario Kart Wii game a few years back and I didn’t care much for it. Having grown up with CTR on PS1, and Spyro and Crash as platformers, I immensely enjoyed the remake.
I like how the kart handles, and the turbo mechanic is a lot of fun and has a lot of depth. But I suppose that MK fans have other things they enjoy from their franchise.

Nintendo can’t catch a breath, huh. This is what, the third big data breach in the last five or so years?
- Comment on Space battle games for casual player? 1 month ago:
I’ve never played them myself, but I’ve seen some mods that completely overhaul the game.
That being said, I would recommend playing the vanilla experience first, with an HD mod if you’d like.

Freelancer is still the best of its genre, IMO.

Seems really cute, thanks for the recommendation!
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I remember when people were so excited for the ABK acquisition. They really believed that MS was going to offer all the catalogue for cheap on their subscription service day one, and that Xbox would end up winning the console war.

a game with an Italian plumber stomping on turtles.
Perchance.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
They’ll almost certainly sell these bonus levels as a DLC when they actually release. Don’t get caught up in FOMO.
- Comment on Xbox consoles are getting a price bump. Again. 2 months ago:
The point I was trying to make is, that with their abysmal sales, maybe these units were produced before the tariffs went into effect, which means that they were not losing money on their sales, but increased the price anyway.
- Comment on Xbox consoles are getting a price bump. Again. 2 months ago:
With how much and how fast Xbox sales have been dropping, are they even producing new units to sell? Or are they using tariffs as an excuse to raise the prices and make as much bank as possible with what little customers they have left?

Without going into much detail, I know of an indie studio where the game director wanted a lot of personal oversight on many things, music included. From giving other games’ tunes as a moodboard to take inspiration from for specific tracks, to minutiae like removing an instrument, swapping an instrument for another one, slowing or increasing the beat…
I don’t think it’s a matter of indie vs AAA studios as a lot of people here are making it out to be. It’s a matter of how big of a personality the game director is, and how much oversight they want over their game.
- Comment on Evoland 2, a wonderful mix of games and homage to old games 2 months ago:
I played the first one and, although I found it amusing, I agree it was mostly a one-joke game, which turned me off from trying the sequel.
I’m kind of curious now.
- Comment on Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it' 2 months ago:
I very much doubt that when (if) the game releases, it will be worth the wait and live up to the hype.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 2 months ago:
I feel like everybody will answer “Silksong” for the foreseeable future lol
As for me, I’ve been in a mood for zombie games for the past few months. There are a LOT of them, but good ones? Not very much. I finished RE2make (which I kind of liked, with reserve) and RE3make (which I despised) at the start of the year, then moved to RE8, but I found it disappointingly boring, so I switched to Dying Light, which I’ve played for the past two months.
It’s technically a replay because I played it already a few years back, but I didn’t bother with the DLCs because I was kind of over with it by the end of the story, so I hope to 100% it this time. I really like it actually! I just find open world games exhausting in the long run as they drag on a bit too much.

You’re right! It also infringes on Nintendo’s exclusive patent to (a) show things on a screen, (b) move said things with a controller, and © display written text via alphanumeric strings.

What did your boss do to deserve this?
I mean, what specifically?
