- Comment on Yes, this is what people did back then 10 hours ago:
Since I am an absolute idiot who doesn’t know what happened back then in order to rake in money off of things like betting ( either legal or illegally ), probably just ( assuming I have 'em ) listen to CDs on my CD player and hop on computer and hope I have any good games.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 5 days ago:
My idea, as dumb as it is, would be one of the tools I hate ( AI ) to start a mass disinformation campaign that claims all the people like Joe Rogan or any of these other bad apples are weaklings that sexually prey on little kids. That, alongside any other way to make them look weak
If they play dirty, I see no reason not to do the same.
- Comment on What's an absolutely medium quality game? Not great, incredible or terrible or any single ended extreme. Dead medium quality 1 week ago:
In my opinion ( haven’t played or really seen the DLCs, so I’m just talking about base game ), Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
Definitely had ups and downs when I did my only playthrough. Absolutely middle of the road compared to the official games ( completed gen 3, part way through gens 4-7 ) I have played and still even middle of the road compared to some of the fan games I’ve played over the years.
- Comment on What game has the best tutorial, in your opinion? 1 week ago:
Technically I don’t think there’s a tutorial level per say as much as there is a tutorial set of levels, but Baba Is You.
The game starts off with only the controls on how to move and teaches you about how you can change the rules of the level to beat it if it isn’t possible normally, without explaining anything. Just from you exploring and testing different things. The only other time you’ll ever see any other form of level hint is maybe in the level names or if you end up in a position where you have to undo or restart the level from breaking the " [ object ] is you " rule in some way.
- Comment on What game has the best tutorial, in your opinion? 1 week ago:
A lot of the game before you escape the testing track, minus maybe the point you are told about momentum jumps, feel like one big tutorial without even realizing you’re in one. It’s done very well.
- Comment on Nintendo says your bad Switch 2 battery life might be a bug 1 week ago:
Sounds like a battery optimization problem that switch oled could last longer than a switch 2. Doubt the hardware is powerful enough that you’d see double the battery from an older model.
- Comment on How do you keep track of what games you have played over the years? 2 weeks ago:
I personally make a guess depending on certain games as to how long I’ve played them. I’ve definitely lost track of how long I’ve played certain games ( especially on console ) like Borderlands or Sonic Unleashed on xbox360. Especially since I never wrote any of that kinda stuff down in middle/high school because I didn’t care how long I had been playing in total.
Though, I will say that I like and dislike how Steam tracks your progress in playing games. I was roughly 4-6 minutes off of playing for 2 hours in order to buy some game related account themes but now I’m 2.7 hours in accoring to them because I ended up leaving it on in the background. In the future, I’m not gonna remember I did that, so I’ll assume I actually played all that time. There’s no nuance in their monitoring. If the game runs, so does their meter of how long it’s been on, regardless of you playing or not.
Though, I assume a good solution would be using any form of note taking program and jotting down your play times and dates and any other notes you want. Or using a spreadsheet with that same information. As long as you don’t lose that/those file(s), depending on what solution(s) you choose to take, it should be fine as long as you actually remember to do it and aren’t lazy about that, like I would be.
- Comment on This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast! 3 weeks ago:
That is absolutely egregious. 200GB game with a 45GB update? You’d be lucky to see me installing a game that’s around 20-30GB max anymore because I consider that to be the most acceptable amount of bloat for a game anymore.
- Comment on Climate scientists are hosting a 100-hour YouTube livestream in response to Trump's research funding cuts 3 weeks ago:
I can almost guarantee the current regime gets wind of this and has yt shadow ban the livestream or does some other thing to kill it, like forcing ads every 10 seconds to detract people from wanting to watch.
- Comment on IT’S THE FEDS! 3 weeks ago:
Reminds me of the story of the people working on running a business in their apartment, for whatever Linux distro it was, in the 2000s that was caught and had to move the servers for obvious reasons.

- Comment on Catchiest video game song? 4 weeks ago:
Ever since I first heard it a few months ago, it has never left my mind for even a second.
Free by Crush 40
Sadly this great song was tied to a spin-off series killing game.
- Comment on Being called a loser for liking animation while the entire world is falling for AI slop is beyond. 5 weeks ago:
I imagine if you told these same people that AI slop is for losers, their heads would explode and you’d be called all sorts of colourful words. It definitely, in my experience, feels like AI slop enjoyers aren’t the most stable. Though, my experience hasn’t been too much since I actively avoid them if possible.
- Comment on What's the worst spelling you've seen? 5 weeks ago:
I remember reading an article about an airport staff person ( possibly TSA? ) laughing about a little girls name. Same exact name. Crazy stuff that any parent could start their children at square -3 upon being born.
- Comment on Why aren't Americans filling the manufacturing jobs we already have? 5 weeks ago:
One thing I’ve noticed is that my dad, who is getting up there in age, recently fell for the trap of “the youth don’t wanna work anymore” and “they’re too afraid of hurting themselves” arguments.
Yeah, we definitely would rather collect unemployment if it’s better than 900% of all jobs willing to hire and yes we don’t want our bodies being mangled and destroyed by factory accidents, without compensation of course.
Hell, I’ve been thinking of some creative ways to make a little extra money on the side through some shady dealings, and I’m still living with my parents and in college. Just need a shit ton of prep to avoid being caught online.
- Comment on Kids nowadays don't have many (if any) videogame heroes... 1 month ago:
I thought the name of the game sounded familiar, so I ended up looking at the Steam page and I was right when Stumpt did a video on it, pretty sure. Definitely gonna have to at least check out the demo because it looks interesting enough.
Looked it up and they definitely did a video on it. Sk definitely gonna at least check out the demo. Hope sales pick up.
- Comment on Nintendo reserves the right to brick your console following "unauthorised use", in bid to prevent piracy 1 month ago:
Yeah, definitely gonna stop those pirates who soft/hardmod their systems and never connect to the Internet in order to dump their games! That’ll stop them!

- Comment on What is the most "Indie Feeling" game that is definitely NOT from an Indie Studio? 1 month ago:
An EA published game series for the first 2 entries, but Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 1 and 2. Still on entry 1, so I’d like to avoid spoilers, but they definitely feel indie compared to every single triple AAA game that’s come out in the past well over a decade due to the passion you can tell had to be out in for the game to have sold well.
Also learned the 4th game wasn’t even available on PS2 because of its’ 2015 launch, so if I ever get around to finishing the first 3, I gotta get it on PC because there ain’t no way I’m buying a copy for switch.
- Comment on Would you like to see a mainline Pokemon game created in the old style? 1 month ago:
Ever since the switch to 3D, I knew they would never look back. Biggest reason why fan games are so valuable to me. The only thing I like about the upper half gens (not including 5) are the pokemon (case by case and not including regionals) and the terastal mechanic, in terms of the games and their mechanics. Gens 6-9 I really don’t have almost any care for any of the important characters outside of the designs for characters/character art for characters like Geeta, Diantha, Brasius, Kiawe, and Rika. Those are pretty much the only characters who’s names I could even remember.
That’s mostly due to, in my opinion, when I think they started absolutely dumbing and watering down the story and characters so they could start focusing on nostalgia baiting people to keep them coming back while also completely dumbing down exploration as well. I think two of the only characters from gens 6-9 I really care about were Lysander and Kiawe because I thought Lysander’s genocide plot was interesting enough and Kiawe only because of the episodes of the anime I saw (which is kinda cheating since the anime is where they put every ounce of character into 99.99% of all important NPCs).
Pretty sure a large amount of fans would absolutely love returning to an older form, but good luck convincing Sintendo of anything without getting their corporate legal open secret stasi (lawyers) getting involved.
- Comment on What is your favorite indie game? 1 month ago:
One of my all time favorites right now is Brok The Investigator.
It’s a game by French company COWCAT Games that is describes as a point and click beat’em-up game. Has lots to do because there are multiple endings. It has a free visual novel made to essentially showcase a vn engine that can be used to make BTI fan games or your own creations and has an upcoming DLC (apparently only gonna be $9.99) that focuses more on the combat side of the game.
It’s currently available on PS4/5 (vita planned but scrapped), xbox (don’t know if they mean one and series x/s or just series), switch, steam, itch(dot)io, and even epic if you hate yourself.
- Comment on What is your favorite indie game? 1 month ago:
With the amount of content the main game of Baba Is You comes with, alongside the level editor and custom modded level packs people have made for it, would 100% recommend it.
- Comment on What is your favorite indie game? 1 month ago:
Finding Paradise is absolutely an amazing game. Would absolutely recommend a blind playthrough of it, or at least a no-commentary walkthrough if nothing else.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Just wait 3 months after switch 2 releases. If you already have a gaming computer, I can almost guarantee that you’ll be able to play launch titles at 10-20fps on an emulator, so long as sintendo do such a piss-poor job of antipiract measures in their consoles (like they’ve always done).
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I’m nowhere near an expert at this type of stuff, but I assume some form of signal blocking device could work. Assuming it doesn’t have local storage and relies on something like a cell tower signal, cutting the signal might be the best option.
- Comment on China suggests COVID-19 originated in US in response to Trump allegation 1 month ago:
First there was no disease, then it’s not human transmissible. Next it came from Italy, followed by coming from American whitetail deer, then United States military bases, then… etc.
Their story changes just about every other minute. It’s about as consistent as my sleep schedule.
- Comment on What were your go-to Games (or programs! We're all nerds here) from your childhood 1 month ago:
I spent a lot of time playing Sonic Mega Collection on gamecube. At least before maybe 6th or 7th grade when I got Borderlands 1 on xbox360.

- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 1 month ago:
Probably not the answer you thought, but succeed by knowing there are wild animals that could easily kill me. It’s either I die by that, or wait until the lack of my blood thinners kills me, sl I’d definitely take the quicker death than the slower one.
- Comment on I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game 1 month ago:
I got no clue if this would count as something you’d be into, but I’ve been having fun with Skyblock Zero on Luanti.
Idon’t know how quickly you could finish it considering I play purposefully inefficiently, but it’s a space themed with a quest line to follow where the only limited resource is your time. Spawn on a voxel, keep clicking to gain resources, and build out from there. So far one of my only gripes is storage in the game is only drawers instead of chests, so I constantly have machines and my inventory filled.
