It’s a wonderful game, you always feel a little lost but somehow going in the right direction

I’m interested
- Comment on Minecraft's Bundles Of Bravery update will add hardcore mode and carrier bags 6 days ago:
Ew gross, they need to drop that bedrock nonsense already.
- Comment on Minecraft is getting a new biome and The Creaking, a creepy mob that only moves when you look away 6 days ago:
A new, unique mob that can actually be threatening in a place that isn’t borderline impossible to come across without deliberately looking for it? Not perfect, but it’s a step up from their usual. Now if they bothered to add some more trees…
- Comment on Blizzard Co-Founder Reveals True Reason For Departure 1 week ago:
I’ll never how these people don’t know they’re the bad guys, and how they just accept it if they do. Like, they only make things worse, they’ve never once added to the world.
- Comment on Metaphor: ReFantazio, the high-fantasy RPG from Persona's designers, now has a playable demo 1 week ago:
Well I’m in
- Comment on Pocketpair respond to the Nintendo and Pokemon Company lawsuit for Palworld 2 weeks ago:
Patent trolling should be illegal and, not being a crime of passion and thus able to be deterred by consequences, should have insanely harsh consequences. I’m talking the dissolution of a company or trillions in fines.
- Comment on STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor gets Denuvo DRM removed, plus performance improvements 3 weeks ago:
The only people denuvo helps is the denuvo owners and Empress.
- Comment on An Ubisoft investor wants to dethrone Ubisoft's founders so Ubisoft can lay more developers off 3 weeks ago:
Because they don’t care. They talked a big game, pointing out obvious flaws for normal people, but they just want to get a profit on their day trading. Investors are also terminally stupid, they have no pattern recognition, so when a company cuts operating costs the evaluation will go up even if it’s objectively a bad thing in every possible way. I assume the grift is clear going forward from there.
- Comment on Minecraft's new faster update schedule will probably fill modders with both despair and nostalgia 3 weeks ago:
I… Don’t think frequency was the issue? If anything most people would probably prefer slow updates. The issue was how completely vapid their updates are.
- Comment on Heed the Dark Urge and check out Baldur's Gate 3's Patch 7, which adds 13 new evil endings plus official mod tools 4 weeks ago:
Mod support is always great, but it’d have to be pretty in depth to give me the only thing that’ll make me play more; a harder break from the crappy 5e mechanics.
- 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 5 weeks ago:
I feel there is absolutely a space for games that push boundaries at a higher price point. Games that push a, frankly, ridiculous level of graphics fidelity, games that have a genuine branching narrative on a demanding scale, games with handcrafted worlds that dwarf other games, new technology in general. Just anything that needs an inordinate amount of work when compared to the average game.
But that isn’t most games. You can make a pretty good game out of your garage on a shoestring budget (or even for free, if you cut costs) these days. The real cost of making a game isn’t rising, major studios are just bloated beyond belief and just making a profit isn’t enough for the leeches.
For bg3 in particular; they had average (around 100mil) AAA dev costs afaik, but for some stupid reason they had (a guesstimated) 200mil ad budget! They seriously do not need even 1 million to get their game in front of the targeted audience, that’s so insanely excessive.
- Comment on Bloody on-foot racer Deathsprint 66 is getting singleplayer PvE modes with grisly challenges 5 weeks ago:
Never heard of it, but it sounds really fun.
- Comment on Glamtime never ends in Infinity Nikki, the open world dress-up game from Zelda talent 5 weeks ago:
Open world dress up game? Intriguing.
- Comment on Amazingly grim retro sci-fi android spelunker Lorn’s Lure finally has a release date 5 weeks ago:
Oh hell yes, I’ve been dying to explore more. Between the dreary atmosphere and the megastructure itself, this game scratches an itch I’ve had since Blame!.
Also try out NaissanceE!
- Comment on Go capture and breed some Frogs in the Mudborne demo, from the devs of beekeeping sim APICO 1 month ago:
Eh, it’s better than most modern sites.
- Comment on The Dead Rising remaster no longer gives you points for "Erotica" creepshots because it's not "required" or "appropriate" 1 month ago:
This issue itself is tiny, but it really shows that these guys do not get the game. It’d be like giving Bayonetta normal legs, or taking the bad Japanese out of Princess the Hopeful.
- Comment on Former YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki has passed away at age 56 1 month ago:
YouTube has only gotten worse so i can’t say i particularly care, i hope her successor isn’t any worse.
- Comment on Titan Quest 2 sure looks like that brighter, breezier action-RPG you Diablo 4 haters were gunning for 2 months ago:
I don’t think anyone dislikes Diablo for it’s dark tone?
- Comment on Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions Gets First Gameplay Trailer, Will Launch On PlayStation Plus 2 months ago:
Quidditch is such a stupid fictional sport it baffles me that there is going to be a second quidditch video game
- Comment on Paradox CEO admits company made "wrong calls in several projects" in wake of Life By You's cancellation 2 months ago:
They are too busy trying to kill it, as far as i can tell.
- Comment on Infest is a deckbuilder where every pixel on the battlefield can burn, freeze, melt and more 2 months ago:
A specific kind of deck builder at that. I’ve basically given up on finding good card games, something to compete with MTG, this decade.
- Comment on A Deep Dive Into BioWare's Companion Design Philosophy In Dragon Age: The Veilguard 2 months ago:
Highly doubt. The writing has gotten more MCU as the series has gone on, i don’t think for a second they can write good and subtle characters anymore.
- Comment on Crocs And Pokémon Are Teaming Up Again With Four New Gen 1 Shoes 2 months ago:
I know Pokemon fans and geneunners are special kinds of stupid, but who would buy this?
- Comment on Yes, Dragon Age: The Veilguard Has Nudity, And I've Seen It 2 months ago:
Cool, i guess? It’s not really a big deal, i don’t think anyone was asking.

The end of that trailer brought the game from “looks okay, kinda cute” to actually very interesting.
