They make a good ergo keyboard (this is the only nice thing I can think of)
- Comment on The Simple Act of Buying a Graphics Card Is the Defining Misery of PC Gaming in 2025 1 day ago:
Same here, have never owned a graphics card in my life. When I occasionally do want a modern game I don’t need it at 120FPS with max settings.
- Comment on Gaming has a polarization problem 1 day ago:
With recent big game releases, it’s become obvious that a game is either a resounding success, or complete shit. There doesn’t seem to be any middle ground.
You’re saying this from a player opinion perspective which is accurate, but it’s also interesting that companies act the same way. If your game doesn’t make 10 zillion dollars there’s a good chance that your entire company gets shut down.

rip discord
- Comment on suggest me some games!! 4 days ago:
Try new genres, you’ll get bored of gaming if you stick to GTA adjacent things for your whole life.
- Comment on UnleashedRecomp: A static recompilation of the Xbox 360 version of Sonic Unleashed 1 week ago:
Great, but why this game? It was never even one of the top sonic games
- Comment on Are modern Final Fantasy games bad? 1 week ago:
The period from 13-2 through 14 1.0, imo they are objectively bad. But aside from that no. They’re held to a higher standard so a FF that’s only a B+ is seen as a catastrophe.

Audio companies sell headsets with mics too
- Comment on PlayStation 5 headset recommendations (Pulse Elite suck) 1 week ago:
Never buy “gaming” audio gear. Audio is the same no matter what you use it for. Buy something in the $100 price range marketed for audio production. Sennheiser is usually good.
- Comment on Evidence For A Persona 4 Remake Is Mounting Up Thanks To Singer Shihoko Hirata 2 weeks ago:
iirc sega recently decided that persona and yakuza have to release once game per year. They just hide it well since half of them are remakes or optional sidegames
- Comment on Favourite Metroid game? 2 weeks ago:
Going to use this thread to shoutout AM2R which is just as good as Nintendo quality. It also has a great Prime-style OST in a 2d game which none of the other games had done before.

(fuck nazis, but) bro you are 10000% too deep into this. It’s just an operating system
- Comment on Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles for iOS shuts down over "unfixable bug" 3 weeks ago:
I’ve never known SE to have infamously bad code except for when the first started doing pc ports. 13-1 and 13-2 were bad but 13-3 has a good reputation.
- Comment on Xbox Sales Hit Rock Bottom After Historic 2024 Decline 3 weeks ago:
Just get a switch, the entire crisis about this gen causing a second industry crash is nonexistent over there. We got like six new games for xmas this year
- Comment on Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles for iOS shuts down over "unfixable bug" 3 weeks ago:
Think I know what happened here. Apple doesn’t approve updates if there’s anything broken or outdated in it. ie, support for a new screen aspect ratio, the dynamic island thing, new processor type, etc. Square can’t just fix one bug and ship it, they have to also update whatever parts of the app don’t work right with all the latest phones. If they don’t think that’s worth the time spent, it’d make more sense (to bean counters) to retire the app entirely.

He’s probably right but it feels like I accidentally clicked on a ragebait channel and my algorithm is going to be weird for a few days.

- Comment on What's the greatest joy you have gotten from a video game? 1 month ago:
- Getting to the final boss of persona 3 as my first SMT game, feeling actually scared irl, fighting it for over an hour and then getting wiped out when it had less than one pixel of hp left. The party AI was sabotaging me and I was coming up with new strategies in real time to counteract it, it was great
- The final dungeon of FFIV-2 (yes I agree the game is shit). I had to finish it in one night because I was going back to college the next morning. My real world scheduling was good but I didn’t plan for it to be the longest final dungeon in FF history. Luckily the entire thing was really fun and I played for 12 hours until sunrise, delirious while taking down the final boss and getting to see the credits roll.
- Comment on How many games do you manage to play at the same time? 2 months ago:
2-4 depending on the mood. Could go higher but then games would take too long to finish
- Comment on What procedures do you take to save and archive your games? 2 months ago:
Nothing. 95% of the time I don’t want to play a game more than once and if my chosen store closes I can ethically pirate it. Or maybe the game will be buyable as a $5 retro game 20 years from now and that’s fine too.
- Comment on Is there any way to search through all the games on Steam for titles that don't use the word "dystopian" anywhere in the description? 2 months ago:
Just don’t buy games with zombies or realistic gray visuals? Why is this difficult

Virtue Signaling has to be one of the most overused phrases this decade. People are just trying to do good things
- Comment on What are your favorite 1000+ hour games? 3 months ago:
Why do they have to be 1000 hours? Go onto Steam/gog/eshop/etc during the Black Friday sales and buy a few dozen 40 hour games for $5 each
