- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 day ago:
You’re welcome, it’s a really good way to inject some new difficulty into a game you already know inside out. Careful about going full rando though, having your weedle evolve into a mewtwo with a 40PP hyper beam might break things a little!

Might I recommend Universal Pokémon Randomizer for your next play through?

When I last played them Dolphin really struggled, but fortunately you can buy a Wii and the discs for a few quid each!
- Comment on Britain’s illegal e-bike boom: desperation, delivery drivers – and unthinkable danger 2 weeks ago:
The issue is, says Ford, that these illegal e-bikes are in effect motorbikes. “These people have passed no test, have no road training and don’t have the road skills. They just get on and ride around without insurance, tax, the bike not conforming to lights and everything else it should conform to, it’s not registered with the DVLA, all these things.”
Obviously “unthinkable” is one person’s opinion, but you get their point
- Comment on What games have mastered "Both emotional extremes"? 2 weeks ago:
I’m not really a “plot” sort of gamer so probably don’t have a huge amount of experience to choose from, but Undertale really sounds like it fits the bill. It’s all laughs and jokes until it’s not.

I’m going to assume that this was a totally useless gimmick like most of the junk like this I saw advertised back in the day, but I’d love to hear if anyone ever used one

In a vegetative state would be more accurate:
The vegetative state is a chronic or long-term condition. This condition differs from a coma: a coma is a state that lacks both awareness and wakefulness. Patients in a vegetative state may have awoken from a coma, but still have not regained awareness. In the vegetative state patients can open their eyelids occasionally and demonstrate sleep-wake cycles, but completely lack cognitive function.

The escape velocity of the moon is 2.38km/s (compared to 11.2km/s on Earth) so you’d have to be throwing it pretty hard

Isn’t that from Buckaroo Banzai? Wasn’t he still a scientist in that one?

Jeff Goldblum is the worst example, he’s always a scientist!

- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 1 month ago:
Sticker Star kind of ruined Paper Mario for me. Super Paper Mario had already gone quite weird, but in a good way - the combat was completely different but it still felt like the original and TTYD in terms of the levelling, exploration, and plot.
Sticker Star, Colour Splash, and Origami King are very linear in comparison, their lack of experience makes battles largely pointless, and the obsession with giant household objects and nameless toad NPCs is getting tedious.
The latest three games were all still enjoyable, but they’re really nothing on the first three.
- Comment on RPGs that are optionally pacifist? 1 month ago:
I think frying that guy’s brain was a lethal option, but the worse one from that level is the brothers who have their tongues torn out and get thrown into their own mines as slaves. Corvo’s blade really is the kinder option!

Bit of a clickbait, the full quote is:
At Ubisoft, the golden rule when developing premium games is to allow players to enjoy the game in full without having to spend more. Our monetization offer within premium games makes the player experience more fun by allowing them to personalize their avatars or progress more quickly, however this is always optional.
So still sniffing their own farts, but not quite as deluded as the out-of-context quote makes it sound.

Does that work? I always assumed games with DRM wouldn’t work if they couldn’t authenticate to your Steam account.

You can still play them on your GameCube or Wii though, or take copies of the discs and play them on anything that runs Dolphin

OK, just making sure you’re aware that the reason everyone is talking about gacha games is because they’re the ones that you brought up!

How many of the mobile games that you specifically mentioned aren’t gatcha games?
