- Comment on New Doom Game Could Be Announced At Xbox Showcase In June 4 days ago:
I never thought the music in nu-Doom was all that great anyway. Not compared to classic Doom at least. E1M1 is forever stuck in my head and if you hum a couple bars to anyone who has played it, they’ll immediately know the tune.
The music in nu-Doom is fine while you’re playing, but I can’t remember a single track.

- Comment on Does Arkham Knight get better? 1 week ago:
Origins is better, in my opinion. It’s the black sheep but it’s my favourite in the series.
Arkham Knight is my least favourite but I still like it. If you really hate the tank sections, though, you might not like it no matter how long you play. That’s a pretty big part of the game, and it’s not great.
- Comment on Glorious Victory 1 week ago:
The random upset people on the former side were perfectly happy to give their money to company on the latter side before the TOS change. This has nothing to do with how untrustworthy Sony has been in the past and everything to do with upset Gamers wanting to keep their outrage party going even after they got what they wanted.
- Comment on Glorious Victory 1 week ago:
Aw, the gamer is upset I forced some introspection into their life.
But no, I’m sorry. You’re totally a noble warrior who fought back the evil Sony and now must remain ever vigilant lest Kazuo Hirai leap from the shadows and scream “Riiiiidge Racer” at you and take away your toys while Gabe Newell gives you your money back and sheepishly shrugs like “I know, right? This guy, man.”

I talk like I have seen this exact same thing happen over and over and I’m sick of capital-G Gamers throwing tantrums over every inconvenience. You aren’t Union Men fighting for your rights. You’re gamers upset by a TOS change to your new toy even though Steam was going beyond their own policy to honor refunds.
- Comment on Glorious Victory 1 week ago:
Or, more rationally, you all invested so much of yourselves into your gamer outrage campaign and built yourselves up as the underdogs fighting the big, mean corporation. And when, to your own surprise, you actually won and got all of your demands met without compromise, you still can’t let it go because you managed to incorporate all that upset over a video game into your personal identities over just a few days time.

DF Retro is so good.

I never played Tricky but love SSX3 and On Tour. A lot of people fondly talk about Tricky, so is there anything about it that the later games lack?
- Comment on The PlayStation 2 1 week ago:
Same here. I find it isn’t powerful enough for a lot of modern PC games unless your drop the settings, but it’s amazing for retro and emulation. I’m living in 2004 again.
- Comment on That time when Microsoft bought and killed Nokia phone unit 1 week ago:
Honestly, the Lumia Windows phones were pretty nice. App support was lacking but I have never been an app user. I would have kept using mine if the BlackBerry KeyOne hadn’t come out shortly after.
I think it’s common for former BlackBerry stans to go for unconventional phones to replace them. iPhone and typical Android phones are boring to me. I’m currently using a Surface Duo 2 and looking into a foldable as my next phone.
- Comment on The PlayStation 2 1 week ago:
I could never get into the Ratchet and Clank games, except for Deadlocked which I know is generally disliked by fans. I was really into arena shooters at the time.
I’ve tried a bunch of the others and they are definitely good, but not my kind of game.
- Comment on The PlayStation 2 1 week ago:
Dreamcast was killed off so early and didn’t run alongside the others for most of the generation, so a lot of people consider it as more of an in-between system. Maybe not to someone who actually owned one, but given how poorly it sold the majority probably didn’t.
- Comment on The PlayStation 2 1 week ago:
I still love the aesthetic a lot of PS2 games have, with smooth, bright textures instead of a lot of detail that gets stretched and blurry at low resolutions. The way metal surfaces look in MGS2 and Zone of the Enders is really nice.
But then there were games like Silent Hill 2 & 3 that used a lot of detail in the low resolution textures to create a grimy or rusted look. Those games really benefited from working within the limitations of the system, like the fog to reduce draw distance.
- Comment on A YouTuber let the Cybertruck close on his finger to test the new sensor update. It didn't go well. 2 weeks ago:
This is why, as a software developer, I’m against designing any system that assumes what the user wants and tries to do it for them automatically. On the occasions where the assumption is right, it’s a mild convenience at best. When it’s wrong, it is always infuriating if not dangerous.

I saw this Criken video a while ago of him playing it with friends and it looks awesome. The video is hilarious too.

If you haven’t already checked it out, Armed and Dangerous is by the same studio and is very similar in terms of gameplay and humor. Not quite as polished, but a lot funnier in my opinion.

It’s definitely my favourite of the X-Wing/TIE Fighter games. I really like the story in it, focusing on a family caught up in the war.

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth
These were some of my favourite games as a kid/teenager. There are a lot more but I didn’t want to dump a giant list in the comments.

Kinda like when Warner Music Group tried to strong arm the world over “Happy Birthday” but when they were finally challenged on it in court it was ruled that they never actually owned the copyright.

If this were a recent phenomenon, I would agree with you. But western fascism didn’t go away when the good times were rolling. It may have been quieter until recently, but these aren’t just scared imbeciles struggling through 21st century inequality.

Good thing I already didn’t want this game. The trailers make it seem like Kay Vess is an insufferable character to play as. I forgot how much I hated her personality in the reveal trailer but was reminded by the story trailer.
