The first game was pretty fun, but I don’t think it quite hit all the high notes their formula could possibly hit. I very much look forward to trying out the sequel!

That looks like a blast! I always have a soft spot for shooters of the 90’s and early 2000s.
- Comment on Vampire survival game V Rising 1.0 live with gamepad support (good for Steam Deck) 5 months ago:
Oh finally! I wanted to play this co-op with my best friend. He comes over, I play games on my PC, and he uses my gaming laptop. But he doesn’t play with keyboard/mouse as he’s more used to consoles. So we weren’t able to play V Rising!

Up next, the Epic Augmented Reality glasses, which block you from seeing anything that might hurt your feelings, or you don’t agree with.

My favorite example of this is Tribes 1, players found if you tap jump fast while going down a hill, they could “ski” down and gain a lot of momentum. The dev’s hadn’t intended this to be the case, but players loved it, and the dev’s thought it was cool so they left it in. Now skiing is just considered a primary trait of Tribes games.

I’m shocked that HyTale is still in development, it feels like it’s been a real long time since it was announced.
- Comment on (White House Press Secretary, questions and polls)Biden Admin Flails As Mounting Poll Evidence Shows POTUS Is Doomed In 24 [9:04 | Nov 28 2023 | Rising, The Hill] 11 months ago:
It sure would be nice to be able to vote for candidates based on their ideas and positions, but that isn’t the world we live in any more. Instead it’ll probably be Biden or Trump, and that isn’t any decision at all. Trump isn’t fit to be president, he’s a narcissistic liar, and only cares about himself. I very much don’t support what Israel did in response, so many innocent people have died and it’s absolutely awful. But do you think Trump would have been pro Palestine? Not supported Israel?
Polls are notoriously inaccurate, and anyone banging the drum of “POLLS SHOW BIDEN IS GOING TO LOSE” is trying to push that idea in the hopes less people get out to vote for that candidate. The type of wording Trump has been using is insanely inflammatory and will cost lives, this man has no further business in any elected office. Below is something Trump said on Veteran’s Day:
“In honor of our great veterans on Veteran’s Day, we pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists, and radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country. Lie, steal, and cheat on elections, and will do anything possible, whether legally or illegally, to destroy America, and the American dream,” he wrote.
“The threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous, and grave, than the threat from within. Despite the hatred and anger of the radical left lunatics who want to destroy our country, we will make America great again!”

If the rules say no motorized vehicles, I think that’d probably cover what looks to be an electric dirt bike. So yeah, bike guy seems like a douche here.

I recently watched Better Call Saul, I very much enjoyed it! It was fantastic, engrossing, but I don’t think it’s QUITE as good as the full arc of Breaking Bad, thus my omission from my short list. I would highly recommend Better Call Saul though, it’s absolutely wonderful!
- Comment on From the Middle Out - Silicon Valley 11 months ago:
I very much agree, having a clear arch in mind helps, which is how Breaking Bad felt mostly. A show that comes to mind which did exactly what you said was Supernatural. There was a logical conclusion arch wise in season 4 or 5 but it was popular so they were pressured to keep it going, and now… meh.

You know how some shows start strong, but then loose their magic a few seasons in? Or shows like Game of Thrones that shit the bed so hard with their ending, but it retroactively removes the enjoyment from prior seasons? Silicon Valley is part of a short list of shows that just were great start to finish. Interesting, engaging, well written, and a solid ending. My list is short:
