When literally every other language said “ananas”, English panicked and mentally combined the concept of a pinecone and a freakin’ apple
- Comment on Which kind of applications need legacy processor but up to date OS ? 2 days ago:
It’d still run NetBSD!
- Comment on Kids nowadays don't have many (if any) videogame heroes... 4 days ago:
Just to add to this, for a very long time, he wasn’t even called Steve - he was called “Steve?” for the precise reason that they’re not really a character at all.

Once you get coffee beans and a greenhouse, you’re basically set

you what
- Comment on Why is my Dreamcast displaying tiny with a new HDMI cable? 1 week ago:
+1 for RetroTINK. I have a 2x Mini for my N64, and it does a lovely job. I also have an OSSC. Great as a pkug-abd-plag solution, but has a LOT of complexity under the bonnet if you want to tinker.
- Comment on What is your favorite indie game? 1 week ago:
Dungeons of Dredmor! Just a really solid, straightforward roguelike with a ton of stuff and a cheeky sense of humour.
- Comment on What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? 1 week ago:
It’s a bad game for sure, but it is far from the worst game in history
- Comment on Microsoft is raising prices on Xbox consoles, controllers, and games worldwide 1 week ago:
So are the vastly more affordable 8BitDo controllers!
- Comment on What were your go-to Games (or programs! We're all nerds here) from your childhood 2 weeks ago:
As an edutainment nerd, I would be happy to hear the names of these little educational games
- Comment on You never forget your first 2 weeks ago:
Yes!! Still never been beat.
- Comment on How come id Software / Bethesda have never sued Bungie / Microsoft over the similarity between Doomguy and Master Chief? 2 weeks ago:
Just want to add that, yes, Noble Six’s default armour is very cool; but you can also have them wear whatever armour and colours you like. (Including making them look basically like the Chief)
- Comment on How come id Software / Bethesda have never sued Bungie / Microsoft over the similarity between Doomguy and Master Chief? 2 weeks ago:
For what it’s worth, the Army briefly shows up in Reach.

When you say you’re having an awful time; which part are you struggling with?
- Comment on need help finding a racing game 3 weeks ago:
Kinda want to say Nitronic Rush, but there weren’t any other cars in that.
- Comment on My Steam Community Content bingo card: appreciative screenshot, endearing fan art, random Russian post, how to sex, and an in-depth guide. 3 weeks ago:
Oh man, I hate that ““review”” format
- Comment on Cozy video games can quell stress and anxiety 3 weeks ago:
I have had many thoughts along the lines of “how can I fully optimise my cellar” and “dino eggs are worth more money than dino mayo” and it just sucks all the wonder out of the game
- Comment on What's a cancelled game you really miss? 4 weeks ago:
You mean Mars Effect?
- Comment on What's a cancelled game you really miss? 4 weeks ago:
Blacklight Retribution was pretty great. I aged quite early in its lifespan, during an event which gave me a special nameplate - nothing more than a participation trophy, and at the time, loads of.people used it.
Signed in a few years later to.play a few rounds, and some guy begged me to let them use my account because of that now-rare nameplate.
(I also had an extremely cool helmet and some seriously powerful guns I got for free in that game’s equivalent of a lootbox)
- Comment on HELP! Im looking for a game like CIV 6 where the point is to go to war 4 weeks ago:
Civ 4 at least has an “Aggressive AI” setting, where all rival nations will be a bit more… well, aggressive and warmonger-y.
- Comment on What is the best Sea based game out there in your opinion? 4 weeks ago:
I like Anno 2070, a game which takes place in a world where the sea levels have risen to a barely-sustainable level. But it’s okay, because you can repopulate with the power of solarpunk machinery!
- Comment on Suggestions for mouse only games? 4 weeks ago:
X-COM 2 is fully playable with just the mouse. If you’re looking for something a bit lighter, there’s The Enchanted Cave 2, a nice little roguelite with an interesting loot system.
- Comment on Most under-utilized consoles? 5 weeks ago:
It was pretty big, and I believe it was Nintendo’s main competitor for a while. Just didn’t quite break out to the rest of the world, and it never got a proper followup
- Comment on Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version 5 weeks ago:
They’re actually really nice, well-made X-COM lites. Great if you don’t want to immediately throw your kids to the Chryssalids.
Rabbids still kinda suck as a concept, but the games are good enough that I can look past it
- Comment on Most under-utilized consoles? 5 weeks ago:
My votes go for the Amiga and the PC Engine.
The Amiga was tricky to develop for, particularly if you wanted to use all its custom chips to their full potential. So many Amiga games are just questionable ports of Atari ST or even 8-bit home micro games.
The PC Engine was really ahead of its time, but it’s now kind of an obscure little thing, and a bit quaint when put up against the SNES and Mega Drive.
- Comment on What efforts would it take to strip the name Americans from the folks inhabiting the US? 5 weeks ago:
After all, we’re only ordinary men
- Comment on People who call the PS1 'PSX' make me want to kill kittens 5 weeks ago:
Nah, we’re all actually talking about the PSX.
- Comment on BDS calls for boycott of Microsoft and Xbox gaming products over alleged Israeli military connections 5 weeks ago:
The 8bitdo Ultimate 2C is very cheap as controllers go, and is also one of my favourites. Certainly my go-to for general purpose
- Comment on PirateSoftware's Take On $80 Games 5 weeks ago:
In that case, I expect him to drink more booze
- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 1 month ago:
I would love to experience X-COM UFO Defense, but the only X-COMs I’ve played to any extent are the two “modern” Firaxis games. Going back to the originals is a real effort, especially without having the manual to hand.
