- Comment on Is the Wii good? 1 day ago:
This part was specifically just taking about the wii though. It had nothing to do with talking about the n64 or GameCube. And in doing so was never about “skipping” them, they were not the topic of conversation
- Comment on Is the Wii good? 2 days ago:
Why does the idea of a Wii classic inherently debt the possibility of an n64 and GameCube classic?
Also in my opinion I don’t think any other classics are happening, think Nintendo are all in on NSO for their old games now

- Comment on A patient gamer youtuber explaining why she only plays old games 4 weeks ago:
I don’t know if it could be classed as patient gaming. As I understand it, patient gamers will eventually get around to current games, just not now. It doesn’t sound like she ever wants to play what’s been released now due to her skewed views

Yeah I’m never going to play any of their games now in case I enjoy them.
- Comment on Hi-Rez Studios announces February 17th shutdown for Realm Royale and Divine Knockout 4 weeks ago:
Fucking awful. I loved DKO and haven’t found a replacement for it yet. It had such good potential but they fucked up initially marketing it (the whole pay to access a f2p beta with the ability to get it free outright from giveaways) and then refusing to be transparent about updates and future dev for over a year just letting it slowly die.

I’ve never enjoyed Firefox, don’t know why but it’s just never felt better for me. Whether it be looks or something else, dunno

Nah the sound effects are fantastic. Definitely adds to the weird vibe the game has

Warframe feels just as riddled though with all of its different kinds of currencies and crafting mechanics. It may not have an egregious mtx model but the game loop around it still feels like it’s meant to. I much more enjoyed the game in beta when it was simpler. I go on it now and I haven’t got a fucking clue what to do, fumble around for an hour and just decide to play something else instead.

After what feels like 20 years, it still being in alpha should worry you more than if this current state was called a beta.

- Comment on Final Fantasy 9 Remake May Not Happen as a Single Title 1 month ago:
I disagree, not that much has really changed overall in the grand scheme, just in how and when it’s being told. We mostly just get more.
Like look at the upper junon section. We get everything that was there before, except we get this extra section with the seventh in between the parade and leaving for costa del sol (and the recruitment section just before the parade). Which looking back was one of my favourite bits, especially early on.
- Comment on Final Fantasy 9 Remake May Not Happen as a Single Title 1 month ago:
I subjectively like it.
I objectively think it’s the best that could’ve been implemented for what it is, it being a blend of real-time combat but with the strategy of classic ATB turn based combat.
- Comment on Final Fantasy 9 Remake May Not Happen as a Single Title 1 month ago:
The game you loved still exists, and the new ones let you spend a little more time in the world, fleshing out little moments from the original and lingering on them longer and giving these characters’ relationships time to actually breathe and grow more naturally.
I’m sorry it didn’t grab you from the first 15 minutes, you truly are missing out on some awesome moments and gameplay in my opinion. Obviously the latter being mostly subjective, but I do objectively think it’s the best action/ATB system that could’ve ever been implemented.

I think it is intended behaviour, but it’s not meant to be a system wide thing. I can see this being useful for multiplayer and live service games.
- Comment on Final Fantasy 9 Remake May Not Happen as a Single Title 1 month ago:
Remake and Rebirth are so fucking good. They’re more than what I wanted because instead of just getting a basic bitch remake in more than just name, I get a fucking sequel that expand upon so many aspects of the original. As a fan. Why wouldn’t you want more of what you love?
Not only that they’ve shown time and time again throughout the games so far that they hold so much reverence to the original and show it so much more respect than a beat for beat remake ever could.
- Comment on Final Fantasy 9 Remake May Not Happen as a Single Title 1 month ago:
It’s 100% a sequel. It does not replace the original.
- Comment on Final Fantasy 9 Remake May Not Happen as a Single Title 1 month ago:
It’s not about amounting discs. It’s about dev time. If it was one whole game they’d not only bloat the budget to dangerous levels, it’d likely be outdated by the time it’s finished and will either need to redo large parts of the game so it looks modern or release a range that looks like it should’ve released 5+ years ago.
Imagine if FFVII didn’t split up it’s remake, not only would we not have any of it right now. When the third part comes out it’ll all just look like a PS4 game on a PS6.
If you want to argue whether or not they should go balls to wall that requires them to make a series of games so large is infeasible as a single entry, and do something a bit more budget friendly like the original, then fair enough. But then it’d just be a remaster or something not that far removed.

It’s not an ad per se. They’re replacing the key art and game logo with the picture and title of the latest news post for the game you’re on.
- Comment on PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off 1 month ago:
It’s not an algorithm, it’s just the latest news for the game. The news feature has been a part of ps5 since the beginning. This is replacing key art with the picture for the news article/video and the title replacing the games logo.

- Comment on Why are people seemingly against AI chatbots aiding in writing code? 1 month ago:
Cool I’ll just try and find which book i need to read it from the millions and millions of books.
I haven’t got an issue with reading books and whatnot. For coding specifically I always prefer to read documentation. But if I don’t know what is needed for my current use case and search isn’t helping. I’m not going to know where to begin. LLMs at least give me a jumping off point. They are not my be all and end all.
Discoverability of new tools and libraries via search is awful. Through LLMs, it’s passable to point you in the right direction.
- Comment on Why are people seemingly against AI chatbots aiding in writing code? 1 month ago:
If you know what you need to find, then yeah search engines are still good. But as a tool for discovery they’re massively shit now. You often need to be super specific to get what you want and almost at that point you already know it, you just need a reminder.

Because people are scared to be seen as an anti-Semite if you are critical of a Jewish state and their wrongdoings.
This is how Jeremy Corbyn got slammed as being an anti-Semite across the media and eventually kicked out of the labour party.
