- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 day ago:
I just set up Kingdom Hearts 2 on PCSX2 to try and decide if I'm gonna buy it on Steam.
Other than that, I'm finishing my The Wonderful 101 Hard playthrough on the way to 100% the game, and trying to beat all of Ken Amada's combo challenges in P4AU—27 down, 3 to go.

Bro, I thought people will finally shut up about this goddamn game ☹️ I just need the Silksong bitching to stop…
- Comment on H&M to use digital clones of models in ads and social media 1 week ago:
Their catalog has consistently been shit for a long time anyway. Fuck H&M.
- Comment on Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing 4 weeks ago:
FR. I hate this app so much, and how necessary it has become for multiplayer gaming. I'm glad it'll get worse and hopefully give people a strong reason to move.
- Comment on God of War trilogy remaster announcement set for March 2025 5 weeks ago:
Odd take in this context. The last game in this trilogy was released almost 20 years ago—if they're not gonna remaster this, what are remasters for exactly?
- Comment on Avowed | Review Thread 1 month ago:
Hmm… sure, but I feel like "reviews are subjective" gets used as an excuse to give low-effort reviews a pass too often.
Like, I understand if a Steam reviewer writes whatever because they're just a user, but I cannot justify using the same scale to judge a professional reviewer.
I understand a game may not be a reviewer's cup of tea, but if this stops them from engaging with the game's systems and attempting to provide insight through their review then I think it's fair to judge they haven't done their job well.
Like, if someone hires me to do a job, and I accept, I cannot go "Oh, I'm gonna do half of it because the rest isn't my cup of tea. Sorry." No, I'll do the job and maybe complain about it afterwards, which IMO, is exactly what reviewers should do—example: "I beat the boss, but the fight sucked because X, Y, and Z."
I think there should be standards, otherwise you get reviewers unfairly judging games they barely played like in the infamous God Hand review.
