Heh. I was just kidding. But it would be funny if you did skip some numbers and no one even noticed it 😁
- Comment on Day 555 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 20 hours ago:
Yeah, it took quite a while to reach the one year milestone, but time seems to have sped up after that.
Are you sure you aren’t skipping numbers? Or posting twice a day? 😀
- Comment on Day 555 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 2 days ago:
555! 111 more for 666! 😀
Congratulations!

Unfortunately they won’t. They are earning tons of money.
- Comment on Day 547 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 week ago:
Yeah, (without knowing any of your circumstances) no need to rush to anything. Have fun!
- Comment on Day 547 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 week ago:
Good luck with the move! Moving out? Or just moving to some where else?
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 2 weeks ago:
Not sure, I got the impression that all consoles sold worse than usual, but I didn’t actually dig deep into it.
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 2 weeks ago:
Oh yeah, that last lines were about Switch 2 doing record sales in first year, not about the holidays sales, should have made it clear.
I agree with all your points about holiday sales, but I am not sure if it means that it’s momentum has slowed down or it just went down because of other expenses and stuff people wanted to buy over this period. Will be interesting if the sales go back up or if they keep going down.
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 2 weeks ago:
The same is true of PlayStation and Xbox too (and has been for a decade or more). At least in US, don’t know about Europe. This is not to defend Nintendo, just saying that if that was the issue, it would effect all the consoles, and would have been effecting them for last many years. Average people don’t even know about these, and many probably don’t even care.
There might be more to this, but with the current economy, and consoles getting more expensive instead of cheaper as time goes on could be some of the reasons, IMO. And there weren’t much holiday sales this year.
First year sales are also generally limited by supply, not demand, so it will be interesting to see how Switch 2 does in its second and third years, specially if we do get next PS and Xbox next year.

I remember this area. And if I still remember it, must mean it was a tough area.
- Comment on Day 539 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 2 weeks ago:
If Max Payne wasn’t in the pic, it would’ve been pretty difficult to guess.
- Comment on Day 538 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, it’s a fun, some of the screenshots can be really tough to guess.
- Comment on Day 537 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 2 weeks ago:
Heh, an interesting way to play them.
- Comment on Day 537 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 2 weeks ago:
Why did you play Max Payne 2 before 1? This doesn’t sit right with me! 😀
- Comment on Day 535 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 3 weeks ago:
It is on my wishlist, glad to see you enjoying it.

Heh, is 500cc the maximum you can do?
- Comment on Left 4 Dead co-creator is directing a mysterious co-op shooter for JJ Abrams' production company, and Sony's going to publish it: "We hope to deliver a bold, innovative experience" 1 month ago:
Not a huge fan of multiplayer games, but can be fun with friends.
As for people who don’t like live service games, Sony has mentioned multiple times that the budget for live service games is completely separate from single player games. The issue was that they previously put their good single player studios to making these games, as long as they get proper third party or specialised studios for these and leave their first party studios for first party, I am happy.

“It’s either a passion project you spent ten years on, or you need a bunch of money to be able to hire people and resources”
- Comment on Day 501 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 month ago:
Yeah, that will also require more work and animations for each feature like this. Much easier to do in a game like this.
- Comment on Day 501 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 month ago:
Ah, okay. Thanks for the info!
- Comment on Day 501 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 month ago:
Heh, true. When I first looked at it after hearing so much about it I thought it was a wrong game.
- Comment on Day 501 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 month ago:
Wow, it’s weird to realise that there is so much depth and features in a game that look like this 😀
- Comment on Day 500 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 month ago:
Ooh, a day late but still, congratulations on 500 posts!
- Comment on Day 498 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 month ago:
Oooh, I didn’t even notice, 500 in 2 days!
- Comment on Games that I finished this year so far. Probably the best year of gaming for me since 2007 2 months ago:
You don’t have to finish all the games. It’s okay to drop games you aren’t enjoying. In the long run, time is a much more scarce commodity than money.
- Comment on Games that I finished this year so far. Probably the best year of gaming for me since 2007 2 months ago:
That’s a nice list. Did you finish all the games you started? Or drop some games too?
- Comment on If every video game was to be destroyed but you had the chance to save five games, what would you choose to save? 2 months ago:
JRPGs can be annoying to play multiple times.
Civ 6 (or some other strategy game like Age of Empires) and Factorio are great choice for this though.
- Comment on Fatekeeper - Official Gameplay Reveal Trailer 2 months ago:
This looks great. It may scratch that Skyrim itch.
- Comment on Day 489 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 2 months ago:
Yeah. I think it’s because no matter how much you improve, you keep learning new stuff to make your code better, so it always feel like what you have already written is a mess.
Also, obligatory comic about code quality:

Heh, don’t worry, that’s how everyone starts.
