- Comment on Against The Storm's 1.3 update is out now and it's one for the zoomers 6 months ago:
But that’s kinda part of the challenge of the game, though, right? Having to adapt to various layouts is part of the puzzle aspect of each map, imo
- Comment on What games do you replay regularly/annually ? 7 months ago:
I always think of myself as being in between runs of the Long Dark; it’s the game I’m always in a state of playing for long stretches, even if it’s been 6 months to a year since I last booted it up. You just can’t beat that first gameplay loop of trying to find something, anything, to keep warm and stay alive for another day.
I don’t agree with some of the choices they’ve made with the new dlc, but it remains my most played game of all time and is a GOAT for sure.

Truly, trying to decide between this game Alan Wake 2 when voting for GOTY was like trying to pick a favorite parent, or child. Both so good, and huge achievements in unique ways. Stacked year for awards, that’s for sure!
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 1 10 months ago:
Really? I thought the lighting and environments looked good, but the models definitely need some work. They look like clay mannequins in an HD world to me, and I feel like that’s only gonna get more exacerbated since this doesn’t come out for a other 2 years.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 1 10 months ago:
If this isn’t coming out until 2025, I worry about how dated the graphics already look. It’s like they took the same old models/rigs and just brought them into higher definition? Idk, but something looks off about them to me. It definitely doesn’t help the $70-80 price tags that companies are trying to justify when graphics look mostly the same as they ever have.
I think we might have hit peak realism with graphics and need to lean harder into art direction.

Trust me, there are plenty of songs as bad or worse. I get the same reaction to several Daft Punk songs. Mariah Carey isn’t especially bad, no matter what the internet says. There are some especially brain dead christmas remixes stores play during the holidays that make my skin crawl.
- Comment on Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is a "little ways off" but "progressing well" 11 months ago:
This article makes some pretty sweeping claims about rumors being “thoroughly put to bed” based on a vague tweet about the DLC’s progress. I’m not sure it does anything of the sort, especially when the article didn’t even report on the exact question asked of this developer.
The reporter seems to take the quote and run with it a bit.
- Comment on subs > dubs 11 months ago:
Honestly I think some of the older dubs are the best (your cowboy bebops, your Gurren laganns, and even silly shows like Ouran High School Host Club had great casts), back when the industry still had passionate and skilled actors. Now it’s well known that anime voice acting pays for shit and all the talent has left for greener pastures—and I don’t blame them.
Now it feels to me like most dubs get stuck with VAs just at the start of their careers and it really shows… Most dubs make me cringe nowadays with the acting.
Plus, I feel like you get a more accurate translation with subs because they’re not trying to fit tweaked dialog into previously-animated mouth movements.
I used to really advocate for dubs and preferred them, but my stance has flipped quite a bit in recent years. Kinda sad to see them decline so much :(

Spoilers dude, the game is not that old.
- Comment on Bethesda Is Responding to Negative Reviews of Starfield on Steam 11 months ago:
This doesn’t read soulless corporation to me. This reads Todd Howard’s bruised ego. He’s one of the directors of the whole studio after all, and could very well be behind this decision.
- Comment on Bethesda Is Responding to Negative Reviews of Starfield on Steam 11 months ago:
Honestly, this behavior of responding to player feedback and arguing about how “it’s just because you didn’t play the game right!” is kinda unhinged.
It also, to me, really takes Bethesda’s mask off and reveals what their culture must be as a company. Based on these responses, they seem so convinced that they shit gold that they’ve stopped entertaining feedback or trying to innovate much in their games much at all. Kinda confirms some of the criticism I’ve seen of them since Fallout 4 and 76 came out.
