StarCraft 2 was the last good game Blizzard made. That was 14 years ago. Everything else has been hot garbage since then.
They lost their touch a loooong time ago.

- Comment on What are the differences between unsaturated, saturated, monosaturated, polysaturated, and transaturated fats? 2 months ago:
Saturation when it comes to fats refers to how fully saturated with hydrogen atoms a particular fat molecule is. The more hydrogen atoms a fat molecule is missing from being fully saturated with hydrogen, the more double bonds there are within the fat molecule.
These double bonds introduce kinks that change the shape of a “fully saturated” fat molecule from mostly straight to one that has a bend in it.
Saturated fats are generally straight in shape because they have no double bonds within their hydrogen-carbon structure and thus no bends.
I’ve not heard of the term monosaturated or polysaturated or transaturated myself. I think you mean to say monoUNsaturated polyUNsaturated. Monounsaturated fat means a fat that has one double bond so one bend in its hydrogen-carbon structure. Polyunsaturated fat is a fat that has multiple double bonds and thus multiple bends in its hydrogen-carbon structure.
Trans-saturated fats are made by taking unsaturated fats (mono or polyunsaturated) and bombarding it with hydrogen atoms along with a catalyst to remove the double bonds in the hydrogen-carbon structure and turn the mono/polyunsaturated fat into a saturated fat.
The issue with adding hydrogen atoms this way is it fucks with configuration of the hydrogen-carbon structure turning it into a “trans” configuration that our bodies really do not react well to.
Most of our cell walls are made from mono/polyunsaturated fats so those are more useful to our bodies and taking those are generally better for us than unsaturated fats are. Trans fats don’t often occur naturally so our bodies don’t really know what to do with them and kind of throw a tantrum when it sees one.
TLDR; Saturated fats are straight in shape, mono/polyunsaturated fats have one/multiple bends. Our bodies need more mono/polyunsaturated fats compared to saturated fats. Trans-saturated fats are artificially created saturated fats made from mono/polyunsaturated fats and are the devil

Yakuza Kiwami (remake of Yakuza 1)
Played Yakuza 0 and loved it. Yakuza 1’s substories and mini games aren’t nearly as interesting as 0’s and definitely didn’t pull me in as deeply but I’m still invested enough to finish it I think

- Comment on Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales? 4 months ago:
Don’t buy Disco Elysium. Pirate it.
The original devs got screwed over by the publisher ZA/UM. The devs actively encourage people to pirate the game so the scumbag publisher won’t get to profit off what they created.
It’s a great game and the OG devs want you to play it for free by pirating :>

Kinda wish they’d drop the expansions and just implement the uprising set. It’s just so much better than the base game imo

I take issue with labeling this game as “hotly anticipated”. Literally did not hear about this game until now and from what I’m reading it seems like another boring ARPG with a new coat of paint slapped onto the same mechanics.

- Comment on Guilty Gear Fighting Games Get TV Anime 5 months ago:
Trying to listen to the voices in that video was giving me ear cancer. Suffice to say like League of Legends, the game has cool character design (and music!) but dogshit writing so far as a comprehensible story is concerned.
Let’s hope they hire some good writers/animators and can forge an “Arcane” out of the questionable source material they’ve got :o

- Comment on Sequel to Star Control 2 - The Ur-Quan Masters 6 months ago:
Star control 3 was garbage that was star control in name only.
Star control: Origins was made by assholes at Paradox Entertainment that tired to steal the IP from the original creators. The game was basically a pretty soulless carbon copy of star control 2 without the witty dialogue or creative story telling of the original.
Neither of these “prequel/sequels” were made by the original creators Fred Ford and Paul Reiche III.
That’s why this Kickstarter is fire AF. The OG creators have full control here and are making it with the original vision that made sc2 great!
They even released the original Star control 2 for free on steam in preparation:
…steampowered.com/…/Free_Stars_The_UrQuan_Masters…
Granted it doesn’t have the “Star Control” name due to aforementioned IP trolls at Paradox Entertainment but everything else is the same otherwise! :>
