- Comment on What's your favorite case of a game making fun of you? 2 hours ago:
I like the simple messages you get in Quantum Conundrum every time you die. They’re not super serious things, but just things that the main character will never get to experience as they grow older, ranging from mundane things like not getting a drivers license to more realistic teen/immature young adult fantasy of eating a whole can of whipped cream as a meal.

The fun part about this is I didn’t know it existed until maybe a few years back when someone I watch on yt who plays pokemon fan games and ROM hacks ( HeroVoltsy ) played it. And even then, I think I only found out by scrolling through his playlists.
Will say, just like a lot of fan projects like this, the game requires you to join their discord server if you don’t already have the download link. Sadly probably one of the best and worst ways to try and keep the project going while also keeping the corpo lawyers off their back and also being accessible to the majority of people.
Can’t say I know what simulator you are talking about, though. I think the only one I know of is Showdown.

If we’re including fan games for preexisting games, I so far absolutely love Pokemon Empire, the Reborn style difficult fan game set in a region that basically just finished a full-on civil war and you and a friend are finally able to return to the region. Not really spoilers since you are basically told that in the first part of the game.
I am not gonna give away spoilers if possible, but the region feels like it’s divided after the war, which gives it a more real feeling than any official game or basically any fan game. Various NPCs question whether things were better before the war, some want the old monarchy back in power, some are more in favor of the new government, etcetera. It feels less like a typical run through the gyms, defeat evil team, beat elite 4 and champion style game so far with what I have played and how far they are in development.
I like how the writers didn’t just decide to make everyone into a hivemind of “villain team bad!” ( or more than likely just ignore them, like in majority of the official games ) and have people who support them and people who start to question whether or not the villains are in the wrong or not.
I also like how in the tilesets they used, some parts of the region look like they are wartorn to a degree and are a region that is starting the rebuilding process.
I wanna say more things, but then I’d be spoiling stuff and I really don’t wanna spoil things for this game.
- Comment on Are there good Movies, TV Shows, Anime, with wholesome family (particularly parent-child) relations? 1 week ago:
Itnhas it’s moments, but it’s one of those preschool tylr cartoons: Franklin.
No matter what ends up happening, you at least know the main character’s parents are there for him in that wholesome manner you always see in shows of that type. No fighting, no whining, etcetera.
Though, for specific episodes of TV shows, one of my favorites is the KND episode where numbuh 1’s dad gets dadnapped on a father son trip and it ends with numbuh 1 in a sousaphone battle to save his dad, who is absolutely having an amazing time despite being hung upsidedown.

- Comment on Which game would you erase from your memory, in order to experience it fresh once again? 1 week ago:
Okay, now that I have thought about it, I have realized it Has to be a game that fits the following bullet points:
• Isn’t part of a franchise I’ve played multiple games in. That would ruin my first time experience playing a sequel or plenty of games in a series.
• Not something someone I watch online makes content on.
So I’m thinking a good answer for me would absolutely be a game like SuperTuxKart. It’s its own individual thing and I don’t really watch channels that play it. It’s the prefect candidate for me that I would absolutely love to pick up for the first time. Especially since the 1.5 update ( if it’s out already ).

Your career will most likely be safe. After all, someone has to comenin after the AI burns everything down to properly repair and fix the mistakes.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 2 weeks ago:
Hotline Miami 2. On the final mission of the first section and stuck there because I keep rushing in the final section and keep dying because of it. My usual gameplay style in games like this is failing me.
- Comment on Are there video media (e.g TV shows, Movies, anime, video games, youtube videos, etc...) with a majority of the dialogue in an fictional language? 2 weeks ago:
If you count text boxes, not having anybody speaking the language, and having to piece together the language based off of context clues and guessing if need be, Chants of Sennaar might work.
Other than something like that, I personally cannot think of any other work that does what you describe.

Okay, I’m all for weird food combos, but this goes too far for even me. Makes me feel a little sick to my stomach.
- Comment on Built to last 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, if I ever did that, I’d rather take it to someone who knows what they’re doing. I have little experience soldering and I don’t want to destroy something in my Dreamcast by accident.
- Comment on Built to last 2 weeks ago:
Okay, now I know why my Dreamcast keeps asking for the time and date every time I turn it on. Always wondered, but never checked because it worked regardless.
- Comment on New California law requires AI to tell you it’s AI 2 weeks ago:
Okay, but when can the law straight up ban companies who don’t comply with the law from operating in the state instead of just slapping them on the wrist and telling them “no” the same way a pushover parent tells their child “no”.
- Comment on Who's your favorite female protagonist in a video game? (Add pic of character in response) 3 weeks ago:
Rivet from the latest Ratchet and Clank game.
Why? Two words:
Big Hammer!
I swear it looks bigger in game, but I haven’t played in a long while, so I could be misremembering.
- Comment on Is it me or does it seem like review bombing on Steam has become so much worse recently? 3 weeks ago:
I have not seem this happening because I don’t check reviews when 99% of the time the reviews are spammed with people giving the most useless review that tells you absolutely nothing or a bot wrote it and it’s the most factually inaccurate piece of shit you’ll ever hear.
I honestly wouldn’t be too opposed to Steam making reviews possible only after refund policy to prevent abuse. Really try and keep the trolls away and bots away, at least from paid games.
- Comment on What's your greatest "gaming high" you've been chasing ever since? Please take care not to spoil anything, if you are going to be story-specific. 3 weeks ago:
Sitting on a couch in the basement, table thing in front of it, little CRT on top, PS2 plugged in, playing Star Wars Battlefront ( either 1 or 2 ).
Either that, or being on a different couch in the same basement and playing Sonic Mega Collection, the game that turned me into the big Sonic fan I am today. That game, specifically if there is a marathon of one of my all time favorite shows on TV that I can switch from game to cable and back. Well, we had a weird CRT with radio, so press the button twice for game or whatever else you had plugged in, but that was a very minor thing. Happened once during a pokemon marathon middle of the day middle of summer vacation and never again since.
Definitely a tie between those for me. I don’t necessarily try to reach that high because I know I’ll never be able to recreate it unless I can find those exact couches, design wise, those exact TV models, and buy my childhood house and remodel it to make the basement look exactly like I remember it. That, or get a replica that is uncannily close to my memories.
- Comment on Motion sensors in high-performance mice can be used as a microphone to spy on users, thanks to AI — Mic-E-Mouse technique harnesses mouse sensors, converts acoustic vibrations into speech 3 weeks ago:
From the fact that DS is retro and my bag thing came with a DS even before DSi was out or from my essentials?
The essentials are lightweight and barely add anything to the overall weight of my bag.
Can’t help if the DS carrying case thing makes you feel old, if it’s that. It’s just an old thing I have from my original DS that I ended up breaking as a kid.

I wouldn’t have a clue about any of that since the last time I used a macbook was over a decade ago, so I’ll take your word for the quality.

Then maybe I’m a masochist because my laptop bag basically always has a little old DS bag thing where I store my USB hub and USBs, with my wireless trackball mouse always right next to it. I consider those essentials to my workflow.

Forgot steam devices have trackpad. Yeah, can’t speak for the steam controller track pad, but the steam deck one is like the only exception to the rule.

Now I need to know whether or not they did this testing with trackball mice. Hopefully they’re safer from these types of attacks.

What kind of masochist would ever want to use a trackpad? Nothing against people who actually do, but I absolutely HATE trackpads because I have had a long history of not having a good time with them.
- Comment on YSK: Little Free Library is a group that promotes local access to books on a more micro level, to build a stronger community of readers across the world 4 weeks ago:
I have seen a few of those around in my city and even some version of it at the college I attend. I wholeheartedly think these are great, so long as people don’t abuse them. I’ve never seen one being abused here, but I can guarant in some regions it has already been abused.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 4 weeks ago:
For the most part, majority of my music is locally stored across my phone, desktop, and laptop. I’ve got a small growing collection of CDs as well.
For a bunch of stuff I listen to ( mainly vocaloid in this case ), I cannot get an official CD, so best I can do is download them off yt.
- Comment on What's the most offensive word I can use that isn't a slur? 4 weeks ago:
I cannot think of anything outside of the not so humble Australian cunt for single words. That or LLMbecile ( one I heard here ).
Though, when talking to others, a classic “Mr. Rodgers would be disappointed in you.” is always an option.

On the subject of one that make it seem like you are talking down to a kid, my personal favorite is twip from Batman Beyond.

It’s not a huge deal. It also gives a little more to the dev, so in the end I don’t mind.
- Comment on Steam Autumn Sale 2025 Has Begun 5 weeks ago:
If I had remembered this was coming, I might have waited a little bit to see if Maze Mice was gonna be on sale. Either way, nothing I’m desperately craving to buy, so I’ll probably see if any of the games on my wishlist go on sale for a good deal
