- Comment on Peter Molyneux explains why his infamous Kinect game Project Milo was never released 10 hours ago:
Hardware being changed up makes sense. Feels funky that MS would pull a bait and switch for a game project, but its hard to say if that was MS or Molyneux being funky since they both have a history.

Not in game dev lmao :'-(

It seems like you got your taste of social media, decided you were essentially done with it and moved on.
I am just about in the same boat, I feel social media doesn’t offer me much that I value, and so I have been looking elsewhere.

Yeah the other reply noted the same thing. This would have been about ~2015 and she was in pre-k so someone must have named their kid based on the legend. I can’t recall if the girl was black or not but I don’t think she was.
- Comment on I just realized the only way to get new gamers to care about Jak is to release a "remastered" version, which sucks. 1 week ago:
There’s actually somewhat of a resurgence for retro-ish games even among new gamers.
General consumers are mostly keeping up with the latest releases or updates because that’s what their friends or streamers are talking about. High fidelity adds to that but I don’t know if that’s the big draw. Especially since things like Roblox, Minecraft, and Fortnite seem to be the juggernauts right now.
Its just harder to create new conversations around something like Ps2 games because all the talk around them has passed.
- Comment on Microsoft's Xbox Handheld: Switch-Like Dock and Multi-Platform Support 1 week ago:
True, though people tend to replace laptops when they fall out of support or start having hardware issues, much less often to do an upgrade looking for more frames.
I still feel Microsoft has to bring something hot to really sway anyone over since they have a long history of competing in the mobile hardware space and fumbling it hard.
- Comment on Microsoft's Xbox Handheld: Switch-Like Dock and Multi-Platform Support 1 week ago:
Well a Windows license is just that: Here is a code for the OS, have fun. They don’t care because most support will be from hardware vendors.
Microsoft hardware is a different beast. You need to have parts for replacement, its got to be compatible (and stay compatible) with whatever accessories are coming out, and its got to be better than its competitors on new game launches. That last part takes coordination and support with dev teams.
Don’t care isn’t a great option, unless Microsoft wants another Windows Phone or Zune or one of the many other failed hardware launches they’ve had.
- Comment on Microsoft's Xbox Handheld: Switch-Like Dock and Multi-Platform Support 1 week ago:
So it’ll be the ROG Ally but ‘better’ because its less Windows than normal. Hmm.
The last part concerns me. Why am I buying into a platform that Microsoft couldn’t care less if it sells at all because they make their money from subscriptions?
People don’t want hardware that just gets abandoned when its not profitable enough, which Microsoft absolutely has a history of doing.
- Comment on Obsidian’s Avowed 2025 Roadmap Includes New Abilities, Weapons, New Game Plus, And More 1 week ago:
Seems like everyone was all over Avowed the week it was out, then I hardly heard it mentioned at all until now.
That being said, these seem like some nice QoL features but I don’t really see this persuading many people to hop in and buy it.
- Comment on Microsoft's Xbox Handheld: Switch-Like Dock and Multi-Platform Support 1 week ago:
This feels weirdly too late. I can’t imagine that many people in 2027 who passed on a Switch 1/2, SteamDeck, supposed other upcoming handhelds, or the ROG Ally and are looking for a gaming handheld with money to burn.
Xbox has to really bring something hot to the table, and its certainly not whatever they’ve been doing with their hardware/games/IPs for the past 5 years.
- Comment on FBC: Firebreak Is Inspired By Helldivers, Monster Hunter, and Mass Effect 3's Multiplayer Mode 1 week ago:
For some reason it didn’t click to me until I saw the Steam page that this game is set in the same universe as Control.
- Comment on What's the worst spelling you've seen? 1 week ago:
Seems the article is from 2008, and the La-a I know of was in pre-k in ~2015, so it seems someone named their kid based on the legend.
- Comment on What's the worst spelling you've seen? 1 week ago:
La-a (Pronounced La-dash-ah)
- Comment on Oblivion Remastered or something idk 2 weeks ago:
I had correctly guessed she drowned, so I checked downstream of the thinner and shallower (waist deep) river side of the island, which was closer to the town.
But no. She drowned upstream of the island trying to cross the river at its broadest point and further out of the town, apparently.
I think Bethesda just wanted me to finally use up those potions of water breathing.
- Comment on Oblivion Remastered or something idk 2 weeks ago:
That quest here to find the missing sister is just the worst:
No map marker, quest giver gives misleading directions, the ‘obvious’ cave leads you through a completely unrelated dungeon, only way to finish the quest is find an incredibly small alchemist pouch buried in mud underwater in a strong current surrounded by tall foliage, only quest rewards are alchemy ingredients.

Yeah they’re centipede mechanoids. They’re usually very old/ancient when you find them, so I thought they fit well for this meme.

Han Solo thought it was a moon up until he was in tractor beam distance. I’d imagine you wouldn’t see it from hyperspace, but even if you did manage to get within visual distance of it, you’d probably assume it was an exoplanet or asteroid.
I guess the rebels on Alderaan should have been keeping an eye out for this thing but sensors in Star Wars seem to be a funky thing, since they have limited range and ships seem to bypass them all the time.
- Comment on Recommendations for "girly" games? 3 weeks ago:
Fields of Mistria Roots of Pacha
Easy recommends if you liked Stardew Valley.
Weird recommends would be My time at Portia/Sandrock. They absolutely have combat, but have romance systems and a cuter aesthetic. Even the enemies are derpy/cute.
- Comment on Looking for a local co-op game to play with my SO (Steam Deck) 3 weeks ago:
A Hat in Time Trine Spiritfarer The lego games Knights and bikes Human fall flat Cassette beasts Chariot Octodad Monaco
I don’t remember these being particularly violent but maybe are worth a look: Pit people BattleBlock Theater
I also liked Moon Hunters and Children of Morta but those are harder.
Divinity Original Sin 1 is also good but definitely falls into the violent category. Its kind of goofy too so it could be worth considering. The second game + BG3 are significantly more violent and serious so are harder to recommend with that criteria.
