There are still players. Much more rare I’m sure. I played maybe 4 months ago and met a few people.

Gris hooked me much more than Journey.
Gris broke me lol. It was so beautiful, so emotional.

Witcher 3 took me a few attempts before I finally got into it. And those types of games were always my favorite.
I don’t think Witcher 3 stuck until the DLCs. Now I’m sad I’m done with the game…

I’m with you here.
I played it just recently so I didn’t get to play with as many people as I’m sure there were at the start. I did encounter others frequently enough though. Even played with 1 person for a big chunk.
It was fine. It’s pretty and it has soul for sure but it’s not a transcendent experience like so many seem to describe. Maybe I’m broken in my own way, maybe I missed something, maybe I don’t understand art. Who knows.
I had fun though and it was worth the price.

This is the way. We didn’t abandon that awesome machine! It went above and beyond from day one and kicked ass! It’s a true hero.

I’ve seen this exact scenario but the “polite” person is in a normal lane, not a turning lane. I hate drivers here.

Starting Rogue Trader this week. Having fun with it.

The conversion rate isn’t great.
There were talks of using them in sidewalks, but it doesn’t really make much sense really. Piezo almost always only works as energy recovery, which isn’t nothing but you will need the infrastructure which also isn’t nothing.

Nah, just a non-traditional way of saying wind generators like turbines.

Only been playing balatro. Now it’s fully out. Hooray!
- Comment on First game you played 4 months ago:
Sheesh. That’s a tough one. My memory is trash from TBIs… Maybe pong, or space invaders? I think it would be something that was in an arcade. Our first console was the NES with SMB, but we definitely played in arcades before that.

Anyway to roll back firmware on some of these TVs?
Mine was never connected, except once a friend came over and connected it and it updated and now it requires a connection to rename inputs…
It’s never been connected since that day either.
Hate this kind of crap.

SO STRESSFUL!
I love this game so much. I have to constantly walk away from the stress lol.

Why did you include great in new/innovative?
I think the ship builder fits all of that despite your wording. It was new, it was fun, it achieved awesome results. The amount of interesting ships people built was crazy. It plays a pretty big part of the game, and finishing some unique skills out there was cool.
Possibly killing off your spouse or main companion was wild. I can’t recall having the possibility happen in a game like this before. That messed me up for a bit.
The looping gameplay with insane universes was innovative. A bit tedious to achieve but still neat
- Comment on Did someone tell Steam it's not April 1st yet? 5 months ago:
I liked it well enough. Not enough to repeat the loop 11 times. But enough to finish the game and find that idea inside with a some work. It wasn’t bad enough for me to write it off completely.
I enjoyed the ship building a lot. It felt innovative to me. It was a blast and pretty well done. The bulls I’ve seen out there range from insane to just freaking cool.
I thought the possibility of killing off your spouse or main companion was innovative and painful. I put the game down for a few hours to decide how to move forward. Save scum or live with my path despite that loss.
The hate bandwagon for games seems a bit out of control these days. People are literally going into the community for those games just to talk shit… Not to be constructive or to hear why people like it. Just to be mad and try to convince others they can’t possibly like it. It’s weird.
- Comment on Did someone tell Steam it's not April 1st yet? 5 months ago:
For real. The new in thing is to sit on any game you are mildly disappointed in and claim it’s the worst game of all time and no one can like it.
For being the shittiest game of all time there sure are a lot of people (myself included) who put in nearly a hundred hours into it or even more…
Everyone obsessed with absolutes these days, no place for middle ground or a measured response.
- Comment on Steam keeps on winning 5 months ago:
That was back in 21. Last year’s numbers posted in May 2023 have them making a profit.
It’s worth buying from them every chance you get. Even if they disappear you will own your games so long as you can store them, unlike every other store front, steam included.

Somewhat long story time.
Because I moved from a different country to the US they got confused what grade to put me in. And then they really goofed my class assignments. So I ended up literally only taking algebra 1 and geometry in high school. Unlike most that also got algebra 2 and possibly trig.
This set me up supery poorly for college. But I’m actually really good at math and I love math. So when I got to college, I failed miserably and dropped out after teachers were telling me this was simple stuff I should know from high school trig. How the college even let me get to that point was also insane…
Anyway years later I went back, they tested me and I needed remedial math classes. Finally this new college was doing it right. I immediately started failing my tests. The teacher actually cared to find out why. I was getting every answer correct, but I was only finishing about 50-60% of the questions. When they looked at my work they noticed I just want using the right formulas in the right places or the common shortcuts and such. At they focused on teaching me that stuff all of a sudden I was actually finishing my tests ahead of class and passing.
Math is weird.
- Comment on Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader - Review Thread 6 months ago:
Played for about 6 hours, great time. I only had 1 “bug” do far. A tutorial popped up before I did something to trigger it. That thing was in the room though.
I don’t ever get many bugs though while gaming so I’m probably not the best example.
- Comment on Paradox's The Lamplighters League adds new playable character and Events system in latest free update 6 months ago:
I played it for a bit. Maybe did 4 or 5 missions. It was good I guess but also weirdly bland? Like it has all this character and style but for whatever reason it just didn’t really hook me.
I think I had some very minor issues with the game rules being sort of inconsistent. Like I’d setup something that should keep me stealth but if be immediately found out. Or something that would show certain people being hit or not hit wouldn’t be accurate. It was disheartening.
All that said, I think others might really like it. I think it’s on gamepass, so try it out if you have time!
- Comment on If forced to choose one retro console forever what would you choose and why? 6 months ago:
SNES or PS1. Tough call either way. So many games that really did it for me on both of those. I haven’t cared about consoles since really.

ACG is my go to. I don’t think he’s ever steered me wrong.
Obviously watch some reviews he’s done of games you’ve played to see if your tastes align.
- Comment on bro pls 7 months ago:
This is exactly what I was thinking. Can make it as big as you want and no need to dig out the earth. Just a few “acceleration rings” and then the detector. I guess if it were feasible right now we’d be doing that though.

- Comment on ‘Reddit can survive without search’: company reportedly threatens to block Google 8 months ago:
They have is ways to socialize online (reddit, Twitter, fb) and then people realized they could use them as a tool for good. They could organize, spread the word about bad companies and people, encourage others to do good, and so on. People could even turn on the platforms when those platforms corrupted.
So yeah, the billionaires in control don’t like it that we have ready ways to call them out. Elon was pissed about people tracking their flights on Twitter and bought the platform and it’s running it into the ground. Why not. He loses nothing and gains everything.
I think we’ll see this happen a lot more. Billionaires control everything and then we act surprised when they shut people out that expose them.
