Everyone’s got an answer, and the wrong ones want cash up front.
- Comment on Trump baselessly says Rob Reiner died because he was anti-Trump, politicizing the director's killing 3 days ago:
I hope Trump dies soon. It used to be just silently like syphilis or a brain hemorrhage. Now, I’d be kinda OK with hearing him scream.

No one I knew owned every system, but we would trade systems and games all the time. I was 16-17 in this era, so my friends and I had cars and jobs and shit, so we traded a lot of stuff around.

It’s wild to me that not only have I play most of those games, I played them when they came out. It was nice having friends and physical copies of shit.
- Comment on Skyrim on Switch 2 ships with severe input lag and a huge 53GB file size despite being capped at 30FPS 1 week ago:
I liked it the first two times. I don’t need a third.
- Comment on Skyrim on Switch 2 ships with severe input lag and a huge 53GB file size despite being capped at 30FPS 1 week ago:
They just dropped a very mediocre Metroid title, and Mario Kart was middling at best, so they are down two franchises this generation already. If they make another clone of BotW then they are gonna be down a third, and they’ll have to make it up with Mario, but Donkey Kong didn’t inspire hope on that front, so I’m not sure what I have to look forward to…
Oh. Pokemon… Well, I’m not holding out hope there either after Scarlet/Violet.

Well, damn. I didn’t know that. Oh, bother.

Zelda and Mario are first party, so I get that, but Xenoblade kills me. I need a rerelease of Xenogears, Xenosaga, and Xenoblade on PC.

Wasn’t this already on the first Switch? How did you fuck this up? It was already done.
Honestly, I’m kinda over the Switch 2 at this point. All of the games that have come out for it look empty and soulless, and there hasn’t been anything to make me truly want to spend $500 on another piece of kit. They’ve had long enough to put out some quality, and the promise of “$80 for a game ensure we can continue to deliver quality” is just the corporate bullshit we all knew it was. This is the WiiU all over again.

I was just about to say that I usually trust Russ will all my retro gaming handhelds, but I’ll gladly take a second opinion. Glad to see that you follow him as well and aren’t afraid to put your own thoughts out there. Nice work!

Not only that, but charging full price for a game and then charging $15-20 for cosmetic DLC is fucking wild. If I’ve paid you $60+ for a title, I expect the full experience. If you want to add some shit a year down the line to lengthen the life, I’m on board, but day one DLC that costs more than the base game was played out the moment Bethesda graced us with horse armor. I’ve gotten more joy out of Vampire Survivors than I have out of any Ubisoft and EA games in the last 20 years combined.

Its the same model as payday loans. It’s predatory lending plain and simple.

Gotcha, that’s what I saw. Thanks.

I’m curious, because I just “beat” the game last night. I’ll try to be spoiler free, but if someone hasn’t beaten the game, don’t read on. Is the “true ending” what you get when you go up, do the thing, and then go down and do the other thing? Like, when you get the achievement? Or is it related to finding the missing threads, so to speak? I’m just curious on if I’ve already seen the ending that’s been changed, or if there is more.
- Comment on Which game would you erase from your memory, in order to experience it fresh once again? 1 month ago:
The soundtrack quickly became one of my favorites. It’s on rotation with Chrono Trigger/Cross, Xenogears, Expedition 33, and Hades.

Nier: Automata. God, if I could feel that pain again… what a fucking game.

- Comment on Gamers frustrated as Hollow Knight: Silksong crashes stores on launch 3 months ago:
This feels like cherry picking (there is probably a better pun in there). The sentiment I saw when the servers went down was overwhelming support for the Dev and the happiness than an indie game is doing with AAA games can’t; bring down steam.

Hell of a fucking game. This, Day of the Tentacle, and Duke3d were on constant rotation. And by rotation, I mean that my hard drive could only hold one at a time.

- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 4 months ago:
XenoSaga is worth it, though it suffers the same fate as Xenogears being rushed at the end. Xenoblade is definitely worth it. None of them cross over but they have the same themes and motifs, plus a little fan service for series old heads.

Nier:Automata gets an honorable mention.

I think the original devs left after the second one. The third was a new crew. I could be misremembering too, though.
- Comment on Imagine not being able to shower, because AI slop generator machines need that water! 4 months ago:
Ignorance isn’t innocence. Playing games to “trigger the libs” makes you just as guilty as every one else, and even more a piece of shit. We don’t have elections to “trigger” another party. We do it because the lives of millions are on the line.
