- Comment on Dusting off the old PS2 4 days ago:
It may have been pretty long since I played Into The Nexus, basically the only PS3 title I’ve played besides Quest for Booty, but I definitely remember the length of Nexus being too short for me to love it. Your comment jogged my memory on it by name alone, after a quick search to make sure I wasn’t mistaking it with another game.
Can’t remember much about Quest for Booty, which I’m pretty sure I got through a code that came with Nexus, so that should tell you something about how memorable I thought it was.
- Comment on Dusting off the old PS2 4 days ago:
R&C UYA is definitely a fun game. I can remember that I was at my best friends house and I don’t remember why, but he showed off that game and I was immediately hooked.
Eventually got my own copy. And eventually all the other PS2 titles in the series over the years. Love them all. Definitely a fun series. Cannot speak too much about the later titles since I’ve barely gotten anywhere in Rift Apart, but those early games definitely have a fair amount of that classic PS2 charm, IMO.
- Comment on Do you preorder games? 1 week ago:
Last, and only time, I ever got to preorder was BioShock Infinite. Got the game an a guidebook ( still have that guidebook, even if I’ve never really used it ). Was kinda lackluster, IMO, but at least I got the game and didn’t have to wait outside for hours like my brother did for GTA V.
Nowadays I stay away from preorders because they’re basically all digital and you don’t even get anything besides maybe early access for a week and some useless cosmetic things that eventually get handed out to everyone who wants to buy it. At least in the case of triple AAA games.
I haven’t seen much for preordering for indie titles besides being a kickstarter backer. Even then, I was able to not be a kickstarer for one of my favorite gamed released the last couple years ( Broke the InvestiGator ) and still managed to snag some of the leftover kickstarter rewards. Never backed one besides a tie-in comic for the game, so not much of an opinion either way since I don’t have enough experience to say one way or another.
As for early access, it depends on the game and if it either looks interesting to me and/or if I’ve seen someone else play it and looks fun. It’s the main reasons I got into games like Peggle, Shotgun King, Dungeon Clawler, etcetera. All games I saw plenty of videos on and/or played demos of, if they had a demo.
I don’t have a problem with early access so long as your game isn’t early access throughout its whole life cycle. A game that has been in development as early access for 3 years? At that point, if you’re still giving updates, why not put it in alpha or beta and be upfront about it? I swear some devs don’t do that so they can just disregard all criticism of their title because It’S sTiLl In EaRlY aCcEsS.
- Comment on What're your strong opinions from an aged / dead fandom? 1 week ago:
Well, it was revived and I refuse to watch the revival, but for Tiny Toons Adventures ( revived as something like Toons Looniversity or something like that IIRC ), I rather strongly dislike how they removed Elmira and made Babs and Buster siblings.
I’m especially not for the Babs and Buster change because if that’s cannon to the original show by proxy of the reboot, that would make any moment where Babs and Buster have feelings for each other or the maybe episode or 2 where they go on a date have an extremely incestuous vibe.
As for Elmira, I love how over the top she is as an example of how not to be a pet owner. Or how not to babysit in the case of the one episode where she babysits for a no name, single episode family. Or how in the Spring Break special she gets either government or military help to capture Buster by giving them Harrison Ford, IIRC, with him trapped in a cage.

If we’re plucking hairs off it with tweezers in time to a good beat, I’ll agree.
- Comment on The war on privacy and encryption goes on. This time in the UK. Under the “Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill”, lawmakers now want client-side scanning on every phone and tablet. 1 week ago:
Yeah, it sounds good until the current or next leaders use it to arrest people because they don’t like the current leadership or a miriad of other things they don’t want people thinking, regardless of what side they’re on. I would gladly take privacy and security over throwing the baby out with the bathwater, especially with legislation and law that immediately treats you like a prisoner.
- Comment on Firefox dev clarifies there will be an AI 'kill switch' 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think it’s that since my laptop is a model that only comes with an internal SSD and was having that issue until Firefox decided to refresh itself. If anything, either a new motherboard and/or graphics thingamajig would be in order considering my desktop struggled hard to get through the year review thing in the win10 client without crashing or needing to refresh.
- Comment on Steam winter sale is live. What patient games are you picking up? 2 weeks ago:
As far as I can remember, yeah. They skipped me because I was mainly a console and flash game kid in a time when point and click adventure games were becoming less popular as a genre.
- Comment on Steam winter sale is live. What patient games are you picking up? 2 weeks ago:
Okay, no spoilers, but I personally really liked Beyond the Edge of Owlsgard a fair bit. It was the first point and click adventures I’ve played, unless I’m mistaken, and it’s amazing IMO.
No spoiler to a certain scene but my favorite line in the game comes from one of the many game overs and it’s just the English voice actor for Finn kinda doing an angry adlibbing right before it happens. Absolute gem of dialogue.
- Comment on Firefox dev clarifies there will be an AI 'kill switch' 2 weeks ago:
What happened iny case is the only time I have ever seen this issue. Thankfully a fresh install seems to have fixed it.
- Comment on Firefox dev clarifies there will be an AI 'kill switch' 2 weeks ago:
To make it worse, after a recent update, it’s been constantly crashing on my laptop running Linux and the HDD on my desktop still running win10. I can’t go more than a minute before it freezes up and crashes. Good thing it’s not my main browser anymore.
- Comment on This post makes my back hurt 2 weeks ago:
Okay, I’m gonna be a bit particular, but when it comes to Nightcore, I personally cannot consider it Nightcore unless you specifically remix the song after it has been sped up. There’s definitely some good songs that I’d have to find since it’s been a while since I last listened, but non-remixed sped up music is basically the “I have a zero second attention span” of music in my opinion.
- Comment on What are your gaming highlights of 2025? 2 weeks ago:
Probably a tie between getting a Dreamcast copy of Sonic Adventure for a good price on eBay. That, or getting close to finishing New Vegas for the first time, which really kicked off over the summer more than anything. Real highlights.
Though starting an account on Toon Town Rewritten and creating King Miles Purplewhatsit maybe a month to 2 months ago might also be a highlight as well. A toon town in need and all that. The cogs ain’t gonna splat themselves with pie.
As for what Steam would say, no clue because I purposefully don’t pay attention when something like Steam does some form of year in review, let alone when my phone does a weekly time spent on it review.

Sure. Let’s go with that.

I’ve seen some genuinely funny stuff from the Chinese internet, but that just looms like it hurts.

Despite this not feeling like a shitpost, damn! That courtroom sketch artist made him look like one of those rare movie villains that you actually side with because the hero is so whiny and unlikeable!

Huh, good to know.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
At this point I wish EU would grow a spine and just put out a final post saying that at the very least they’re moving all operations to BlueSky. It’d be amazing if they moved to Mastodon, but that’s still a pipedream.

That would imply there were any to begin with.

For casual time wasters, Feudal Tactics and Shattered Pixel Dungeon are good games.
- Comment on The Xbox 360 came out 20 years ago 5 weeks ago:
360 is definitely my favorite retro console, hands down, due to nostalgia. Feels kinda weird calling it retro, but that’s neither here nor there for me. I never had xboxlive, so playing online was never a thing for me.
Out of any console out there, it’s absolutely the one I’ve played the most, by a pretty bug margin if I had to guess. Somehow I’ve played it more than my 2nd favorite retro console: PS2.
I might make some people feel old, but I was in elementary school when my family somehow got a white model with the hard drive attached to the top whatever year that was, that December. I also don’t remember how we got our black 360 with the seemingly safer internal removable hard drive, but I absolutely LOVE it all these years later.
I think I would absolutely cry if I lost the hard drive for it because of just how much memories are on it. It would be worse than the feeling I got when I realized I lost the memory card for the family PS2 because I didn’t pack it in my backpack before being forced to move.
- Comment on Drama 5 weeks ago:
From what I’ve heard, various mods were literally forcibly removed from their position and the mod having a temper tantrum basically ended up trying to loop them into his delusions. Assuming it’s true, sounds like this person wanted to take down as many people as they could with them in some petty game.

I don’t think I remember my family having anything like those, but 7 looks like familiar and a little nostalgic in a way it shouldn’t.

- Comment on Production can't keep up with demand (corporate greed) 1 month ago:
Despite my city having hydroelectric power as one of the power supplies, data centers make me horrified of what damage they’d do if they started popping up in my hometown. Especially with all the water they waste.

I’ll have to look up how to do that cookie autodelete thing because I clearly never thought of anything like that. Thanks for the idea.
- Comment on Mullvad Leta shutting down 1 month ago:
I hope this is a joke, because it’s the most useful search engine I have ever used in the past decade.
Cannot speak for anyone else, but I have been having problems with my preferred SearXNG instances returning garbage results that have nothing to do with what I searched. Before anyone asks, no I am unable to self-host my own personal instance and don’t feel like changing settings every time I close and reopen my browser.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 month ago:
I never got to finish FFX and lost my PS2 memory card, but recently got another copy and played a little bit of it earlier this week. So I am excited to some day get back to where I was. I basically got to the level up map thing before turning off for the night.
I am also excited because I’m waiting until I have time this weekend to experience Viva Piñata basically as blind as I can on 360 this weekend since I think the last time I played was a demo from around the time the first version of the 360 came about.

Can’t tell whether this is satire or not, but it’s kinda funny either way.
