Congrats on the release!

Same
- Comment on Alien: Isolation Sequel Has Been Officially Confirmed 1 month ago:
That’s a very tall order to follow, but best of luck to them.
- Comment on Resident Evil and No More Heroes creators join long list of devs who think Metacritic is bad for game dev 2 months ago:
Was just gonna make the rotten tomatoes comparison. These types of sites turn a spectrum binary. It’s either fresh or rotten. People might enjoy a game with a polarized critical reaction, but when you check metacritic you see 61 with a sickly yellow color behind the number and an opinionated adjective beside it.
These types of sites would do better to highlight polarized media in a different way, as most really interesting art does not get universal acclaim. High aggregator scores are really a sign of mass market appeal more than anything else.
- Comment on European Consumer Organization goes after multiple publishers for their in-game currency 2 months ago:
Does this group have any teeth, or is this likely a nothing burger?
- Comment on An Ubisoft investor wants to dethrone Ubisoft's founders so Ubisoft can lay more developers off 2 months ago:
Making a product is an inconvenience to them.
- Comment on The first Minecraft movie trailer looks expensively naff 2 months ago:
That article could have been a YouTube comment.
- Comment on "Today, we have an exciting update: Duncan and Paul, alongside many other talented members at Hopoo Games (maker of risk of rain), will now be working on game development directly at @valvesoftware !" 2 months ago:
I wonder what’s happening to those not included in “many”.
- Comment on Star Wars Outlaws Is A Crappy Masterpiece 2 months ago:
To an extent that level of beauty in the scenery creates the lackluster gameplay. If you’ve finished one of these jaa dropping environments, only to realize late in the day it’s mediocre gameplay-wise, you simply can’t redo it. It would take months.
This is oversimplifying a bit, but not by much honestly.
- Comment on The Abandoned Planet is a Myst-like classic pixel-art adventure out now 2 months ago:
To me a myst-like would have a lot to do with the aesthetic and also an emphasis on mechanical puzzles without an inventory. Point and click adventure games aren’t all myst-likes, and actually very few are from my experience.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 publishing director says "almost all games should cost more at a base level" because they cost so much to make 2 months ago:
Sure go for it, I already don’t buy games at $70. I’ll continue to not buy them higher than that. 👍
- Comment on Smart sous vide cooker to start charging $2/month for 10-year-old companion app 2 months ago:
It warms my heart to see how angry people get about subscriptions more and more.
- Comment on Activision revive Warzone's Caldera map as open source (yay!) but say it's to help train AI (booo) 3 months ago:
That kind of AI is not the same as trendy modern AI. Hurray for everything using the same term for different things!
- Comment on Overwatch 2 may get 6v6 again as Blizzard try to bring back the "chaotic, over-the-top" variety of the first game 3 months ago:
It baffles me they didn’t call it 2.0. I don’t think that would have created nearly as much confusion and mockery cause it would have been more accurate.
- Comment on Steam is recommending homophobic curators. 4 months ago:
That far right one is almost self awarewolves level
- Comment on The Sims 4's kicks off the weirdly horny new roadmap with a refresh to base game swimwear 6 months ago:
Clearly it means the sims’ kicks (shoes) off (killed) the new roadmap. /s
- Comment on Razer to pay out over $1 million in refunds over its misleading (and hideous) Zephyr face mask 6 months ago:
Unless fines are percentages, they’re either overly punishing to the poor, or underly punishing to the rich. ✊
- Comment on New Nancy Drew game Mystery Of The Seven Keys is out in May, thus making my life very slightly harder 7 months ago:
I’m really happy to hear they’ve made a new one! After the crazy saga that was midnight in salem’s development, I didn’t have much hope that more would come.
- Comment on Twitch Will Shut Down Its Streaming Platform in South Korea 11 months ago:
Does anyone know why it’s so expensive there?
- Comment on YouTube just made it harder to avoid ads with a tiny skip button 11 months ago:
Reader mode is a necessity at this point. I don’t even try to read articles without it anymore.
- Comment on YouTube just made it harder to avoid ads with a tiny skip button 11 months ago:
Ad blocker blockers 😑
- Comment on Whats your favorite Main Menu music? 11 months ago:
Outer Wilds takes the cake for me.
- Comment on Yeah, yeah, yeah... 11 months ago:
Where I live weed is 21, tobacco is 18
- Comment on Deaf 11 months ago:
Thanks for the insight!
- Comment on Deaf 11 months ago:
That’s a really interesting take to me because I actually have the opposite reaction. I don’t like the subtitles telling what to think about the tone of the music. I like to experience it raw so to speak.
- Comment on Deaf 11 months ago:
In all honesty I do actually wonder about this. Any deaf people out there to weigh in? Does having the captions talk about music improve the experience for you? This is not a loaded question, I’m genuinely curious.

This sounds like a bit on American Dad tbh
