- Comment on It turns out Saudi Arabia will own 93.4 percent of EA if the buyout goes through, which is effectively all of it 4 days ago:
The only EA franchise I’ve cared about in the last 15 years was Mirrors Edge. Would love another but I’ve long given up hope on that.

I Dream Of Geney
- Comment on A cool feature/mechanic you want to see in games again 1 week ago:
A Spider-man game with the swinging mechanics of the PS2 Spider-man 2 game. Or just a remake of that game. The new ones are fine and fun but the older game absolutely nailed the web swinging.
- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 1 week ago:
A fair take. I think I agree.
- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 1 week ago:
Absolutely. Normal is easy mode, charmless is normal mode and charmless with bell demon is true hard mode. After I completed a charmless run, normal really did feel so much easier.
Whether it should have a dedicated “easy” mode or not, I’m really torn. It took me months to get through my first playthrough but the sense of achievement was immense and like no other gaming experience before. I simply wouldn’t have had that feeling without the struggle. But I also have no accessibility concerns so it’s a very one sided opinion.
- Comment on 'I think we're in the fight of our lives': Fired Rockstar employees and IWGB are confident the GTA 6 developer will be held accountable for its alleged union busting 3 weeks ago:
Well I for one am looking forward to both not buying and not playing GTA6.
- Comment on If you think sneezing is rough, just imagine if you had anal hiccups.. 3 weeks ago:
Anal sneezing would be worse than anal hiccups.
- Comment on If "James Bond" is a codename, would a hypothetical female operative filling the same role receive the same codename? 4 weeks ago:
The books are very much of their time but still a fun read.
- Comment on If "James Bond" is a codename, would a hypothetical female operative filling the same role receive the same codename? 4 weeks ago:
He goes undercover in one of the books. His pseudonym is Mark Hazard.
- Comment on Rise of the Tomb Raider -SteamDeck 1 month ago:
Totally fair. I saved for it this time of year. Hoping it’s my jam.
- Comment on Rise of the Tomb Raider -SteamDeck 1 month ago:
I started Pacific Drive today. Does that count?
- Comment on What are some good things to purchase to add a new distraction to my life? 1 month ago:
Skipping/jump rope. Great exercise, crazy fun and an endless amount of tricks and combos to learn.

Coffee slops?
- Comment on They say word-of-mouth marketing is the most effective form of marketing. What games did you (not) enjoy that came well-recommended by friends to you, and why did they recommend it to you? 1 month ago:
This comment has prompted me to but this and will be playing it later tonight. I still loved Stray but as a void keeper, this looks right up my boulevard.
- Comment on PS6 and next Xbox console are both aiming for 2027 release, separate reports claim | VGC 1 month ago:
I only got a ps5 two years ago and I’m set with games for years. I’m still working through PS4 games I never got round to. The idea of a new playstation at this point, particularly after the chip shortage debacle, seems absolutely absurd.
- Comment on The Ensh*ttification of Everything with Cory Doctorow [1:49:08] 1 month ago:
He’s the journalist who coined the term ‘enshitification’.
- Comment on Does it feel like the PS5's library is *severely* lacking compared to the PS4's around the same time in its lifecycle? 2 months ago:
At this point in the PS4 life cycle, I didn’t have access to as many games as I do at this point for the PS5 so I don’t think it is irrelevant. Platform exclusives at this point seem a bit silly anyway.
- Comment on Does it feel like the PS5's library is *severely* lacking compared to the PS4's around the same time in its lifecycle? 2 months ago:
Factoring in PS4 backwards compatibility, no not really… I got an external HDD this year and with all the PS4 games I bought but never got around to, my backlog is huge. I’m set for years without buying another game (though I still keep buying them).
- Comment on An artist's compilation: 'what if all characters in RDR2 were animals?' 2 months ago:
These are great!
I do want to reinstall and replay rdr2 but I’m waiting for the rumoured next gen update before I do.
- Comment on Four wheels good, two wheels bad: why are there no exciting cycling games? 3 months ago:
Bully? Would love a sequel/reboot.

Replying to save this comment. Thank you 👍
- Comment on Actors that have been the least believable scientist castings, I’ll start. 3 months ago:
I always though with Farscape, spending time in that universe and interacting with all the mental space shit (plus all the stuff with his brain) made Crighton justifiably unhinged. He plays it fairly straight in the first few episodes.

- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 3 months ago:
A future prediction as I won’t be buying it - Subnautica 2.
- Comment on Day 365 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing (One Year Anniversary!) 4 months ago:
Awesome job on the anniversary. I didn’t read everyday but I enjoyed seeing the posts. Your dedication to Lemmy content is admirable. Hats off to you.
- Comment on Vitamins are good but idk.... 5 months ago:
Never heard of a Shower Orange? Just a veggie version of that I imagine… I’m sure…
- Comment on A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"? 5 months ago:
I also loved FF8. I’d be more interested in a remake of that one than 7 tbh.
- Comment on Too many complaint posts, do this instead. 5 months ago:
It was Prince in my day.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 6 months ago:
That’s fair. Sometimes I can be a bit grumpy with randos.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 6 months ago:
Asking someone you love “How was your day?” is a meaningful question. Small talk is bullshit time wasting between randos or acquaintances.
