I’ve not played that much in not having a gamecube as a kid. I’ll have to give it a good shot one time for sure
- Comment on Mario Kart DS was released 20 years ago today on November 14th, 2005 5 days ago:
It’s definitely not cryptic I was like 10 or so when i played that and i figured it out. I think one of the missions tells you how to do it. It also added more agency to how you boost with some risk reward instead of just passively earning boost from drifting.
The best evolution would’ve been a mix of both. Gain boost passively but speed it up by alternating directions.
I think i bounced off the wii version (didn’t own it only played at friends) because i was confused on how drifting worked. Wasn’t until i got 8 on the wii u when i realised that alternating directions wasn’t needed anymore. 8 is fun, mostly due to track design and the fact it became second nature like riding a bike but i think DS was more actively fun in the moment to moment. Not to mention the mission mode which is a crime it’s never returned.

I actually enjoy the drifting and was saddened that it was dumbed down in later entries
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 6 days ago:
I think they’ve been waiting for what I’ve been predicting for a while. They’re going to make the next steam deck ARM based so they can make it potentially smaller or at least better battery life. Since the new frame is ARM, I think it’s everything but confirmed now. Since they said they want the new steam deck to be a significant step up they’re probably now waiting for certain components to go down in price so it can be more powerful than the OG but not be too expensive.

- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 1 week ago:
Not to mention the bombardment of phone calls and messages while trying to "mourn’. Awful pacing.
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 1 week ago:
The game is definitely too sparse and spread out. It should’ve taken more inspiration from the likes of yakuza than gta and made a smaller but more dense world to play in where every nook and cranny ACTUALLY meant something rather than giving the illusion of doing so.
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 1 week ago:
To me every non and cranny just looks bland with nothing to do there. Everywhere just had the same sidewalks and railings. There’s no way i could ever navigate that game without waypoints.
And with the acting the emphasis she puts on certain words in a sentence just don’t match the situation and the others she’s talking to, and it feels like she swaps between extreme emotions on the same dialogue and it’s like tonal whiplash to me. There was no nuance to lay in between, and nothing to unpack for the listener. You know when she’s angry because she has her 110% angry voice on and so on.
Unless the situation is heightened and dire, it just never fit in my opinion. Her performance fits a stage play more than what’s meant to be an immersive video game in my opinion.
Jackie’s and Keanu’s voice acting though was stellar.

Cyberpunk.
It’s okay, but it’s a far cry from giving me the feelings of a cyberpunk world in my opinion and I’m a massive fan of blade runner and the like.
Why am i spending so much time wandering at the street level where everywhere just looks and feels the same. Travelling is so boring.
And the voice acting of V (I played female) is so overreacted, it’s one of the cringiest performances in gaming, considering it’s meant to be all serious and whatnot.

4s driving and shooting was better than SA but everything else makes SA better. I wanted then to marry the two together for the best GTA possible but they never did and probably won’t ever
- Comment on Maybe there was a cure for human cancer, but it didn't work at all in mice. 2 weeks ago:
I’m not the expert but it seems naive to think animal testing is the one and only way. It’s just an already established norm with some regions requiring it for eligibility of sale, that’s why it’s still as prevalent as it is
- Comment on Maybe there was a cure for human cancer, but it didn't work at all in mice. 2 weeks ago:
It does if it diverts attention away from other potential cures, not to mention making the animals’ sacrifices even more in vain
- Comment on Maybe there was a cure for human cancer, but it didn't work at all in mice. 2 weeks ago:
The fact that we are not the animals they test on so they can never guarantee it’ll react to humans the same way it does to the animals? That doesn’t follow logically?
- Comment on Maybe there was a cure for human cancer, but it didn't work at all in mice. 2 weeks ago:
This is one of the reasons why animal testing is not worth the torture the animals go through
- Comment on Why do each gaming fraction (pc, consoles, mobile) hating each other? 2 weeks ago:
This is often the other way round nowadays though. It definitely used to be the case during the 360 era. But now loads of games use a mouse like cursor in games, even on console. And sometimes if it’s not like that the UI still looks mouse driven looking like it expects you to click on buttons but instead that have added a PNG of the button you need to press slightly over the UI button. It’s awful.

Coming with Teflon pans has loads of evidence of killing pet birds nearby though so I’m not too sure it’s as 100% safe as you say it is.

- Comment on ‘It’s about redemption’: Peter Molyneux says Masters of Albion will make up for decades of ‘overpromising on things’ 3 weeks ago:
I ultimately don’t think he’s a bad guy so I’m rooting for him to show us wrong.
I think he always just believed in his vision too much and didn’t realise that he and his team couldn’t end up delivering on it. And then he’d be so excited about what he’s working on that he just couldn’t not share it with others. I don’t think he ever intended to mislead.
I know there’s the milo thing but with that I feel like he still thought they could do it in the end but Microsoft just needed something right there and then to show. I think that issue ends up more squarely on whoever sold him on what the hardware could do and he had not yet fully hit those walls of limitations enough to realise they weren’t coming down at all. (I also think this goes for Sean Murray too when he did the talk show circuit that Sony put him on)
