Personally, I’m skipping the Switch 2 because I used my Switch 1 like four times since its launch.

The Switch 2 will likely have games similar to ones that came before it, so if you haven’t been tempted into trying those, you probably won’t be into the new ones.

Like, I’d want the Switch 2 for Mario Kart World but then realized that I played Kart 8 like twice. Online play didn’t scratch the itch, my wife sucked at it, and it was hard to get a group IRL together to play often.

Maybe try emulating some of the older versions of games you’re interested in. It’ll at least give you an idea of how much fun you’d have on the newer versions.

Also ask yourself if you’re a handheld gamer. I don’t think I am which is why I also don’t use my steam deck ever.


I bought some AirPods off of Amazon and received an empty box. The side of the earbuds box was cut open so someone could slide the earbuds out.

Thankfully they’re only $200 so the Amazon support dude didn’t even hesitate to refund me. I can’t imagine trying to explain how I didn’t get a $3K card. Would probably have my credit card fight it out but would then get banned from Amazon.


I mean even if we ignore the idiotic choice to put the sidebar in the content at smaller widths, you’re still left with a terrible site.

Generic, meaningless tags along with no user reviews make the site useless.


The Epic store sucks so much that I’ve gotta look the game up on Steam just to tell what I’m supposed to be looking at on Epic.

Seriously, look up any game on the EGS right now and you’ve gotta scroll past a mountain of bullshit just to get a description of the game. It kinda reminds me of those really shitty cooking sites with all the fluff.

Hah you can report a game before you even get a description or a screenshot from the game



I’m a Loot Goblin that spacebars through the story too, but Borderlands hasn’t been able to scratch that itch in a long time.

The last one I played was Tina’s Wonderland and everything about it was a slog. I didn’t care about any of the loot or any of the fights and I definitely didn’t care about the story.



I tried gloves for kayaking since my hands lock up during that but I didn’t feel a huge difference.

I probably just gotta see another doctor. The last doctor I talked to wanted me off of adderall before they’d prescribe me anything but then I’d lose my job.


Yeah my hands started acting up when I was in my 30s. Now that I’m in my 40s they cramp and become useless when they’re any amounts of cold.

My wife likes to rock climb but she will only go to the gym if I go. I can handle the pain but my fingers will literally just stop opening and closing. I haven’t gotten the courage to talk to her about it yet.


I played my first real Pokémon game a short while back and was so surprised at just how shit it was. Before that I only played like fan games of Pokémon like pokerogue, showdown, and the Minecraft ones.

I can’t wrap my head around why you can’t change the animation speed in the real games. I only got a few hours in before I got tired of watching Pokémon terastalize into some crystal abomination with a stupid hat.


I read what you said as hyperbolic, but generally dismissive of the idea that characters in media have sex appeal and/or vicarious romance appeal,

Of course I was being hyperbolic…

often generally, and often to such an extent that it drives people to make and share their own erotic spin offs.

…but jfc you’re adding layers to this that no one else even mentioned and then building off of those layers to have your own weird anime rants

No shit sex sells - that was never the contention

The point of my original comment was poking fun of the vibes I got from the comment I replied to which felt like “there’s no need for sex or romance in media anymore when you can watch porn so easily”


Maybe I’m too cooked right now to give this reply the attention it deserves but this was a trip.

Like did my original comment give you the impression that I didn’t know people rule 34 every goddamn thing possible?

Maybe I’m really old but you suggesting that anime is the reason we stuff sex into shit is just so funny to me. I once heard someone say “every generation is the first generation to think they invented sex.”

The comment I replied to was like why romance if porn exist which was also funny

Anyways if I misread your comment then my bad it’s been a day



lol are you equating romance in media to porn

Like do you watch the x files and whip out some porn every time the two mains chars have romantic tension


This feels like such a non issue because games and movies these days have basically zero sex appeal or romance

It was a pleasant surprise that you could romance people in BG3


Content blockers can still block ads even in app

I’m using AdGuard with voyager


Kinda confused how it’s RuneScape like at all?

I guess the inventory and gear pages give me rs vibes. Looks jank enough to be fun so I’ll give it a shot


I sincerely hope that OSRS players don’t rollover on this one but I’m not holding my breath.

Reading the CEO comments the other day really highlighted how tired I am of corporate speak and just how patronizing it is.


I’ll try to name some unusual ones I enjoy

Pokerogue - a Pokémon one that’s surprisingly well made but grindy

Rogue tower - tower defense

Peglin - pachinko roguelite

Backpack battles - a weird inventory game where you auto battle other peoples builds but it’s not really pvp so don’t worry if you’re not into that



The strength of pc gaming imo comes in the form of modding.

So

  • modded multiplayer rimworld
  • seamless co op randomizer Elden ring
  • Minecraft pokemon or vault hunters
  • Slay the spire downfall

Probably forgetting a lot


I played a few hours of 3 and tiny Tina’s and both just felt really meh. Like the villains were annoying , the characters were annoying, and the weapons felt same old. Maybe I’ve changed and they’re not meant for me anymore but it’s a shame.

I’m hoping the next game makes the weapons feel exciting again. I don’t want to see or hear claptrap anymore


lol why tf do you have two year subs to two different MMOs and why are you comparing the cost to an investment.

And I’m a psycho who keeps 3 OSRS memberships going because I don’t want jagex to go under and delete my accounts


My issues with 7D2D are countless but the shitty terrain isn’t one of them. I love the way you’re able to destroy and shape the obviously polygon terrain in that game.

It doesn’t look great while you’re doing it but it doesn’t take anything away from the experience.


Yeah I couldn’t care less about the story and just wanted more fights.

I refunded the game because the goddamn animations couldn’t be sped up 100x or skipped. Yeah dawg I get it blades doing a flip or some shit jfc


Sailing games like black flag, valheim, and sea of thieves had pretty fun weather iirc


Nothing like having to swat away 10 text boxes of bullshit on launcher start.

When the game finally starts you get 10 more boxes and then ads for the season pass you couldn’t give a shit about.


It’s weird that palworld only accepts google play cards


Sadly it’s pretty easy to get an invite. I got one from a few friends and they told me they just sat in a weird discord asking for invites.


That’s just new competitive games in general though. The best time to play a pvp game is the first month when there isn’t a clear meta yet and everyone’s having a good time.


Not only that but it’s a worse user experience all around.

I fucking hate the EGS and Xbox stores for browsing new games. Most of the time you’ll get an animated video that’s not game footage and two screenshots that don’t tell you shit.

Not to mention that the formatting is so bad that the client requires you to basically be in fullscreen but you’ve still gotta scroll a mile down to get any info.


I really hope ciri isn’t the main character. I loved when you got to be her because she felt like playing a modded in cheat character. I fear if they did make her the main character they’d do that Superman thing where they spend half the time trying to nerf her.


Yep and if you go on the discord and ask why isn’t it being detected some little shits tell you to stop pirating when you own a legit copy


I know that Wabbajack goes out of its way to make sure you’ve got a “non pirated” version. You can bypass that with a cheeky appid copy paste.


Blood and wine is probably the only expansion I’ve found myself going back and replaying by itself.

I’m trying out Erdtree this weekend and hope it’s good~



Feel like this is one of those games that’s super fun but flawed to a point you can’t fix it. Like the last time I played without any cheesy strats, I found myself not wanting to build anymore because the exploders would destroy everything so building a base was pointless.

We’d just find a random gas station or something and just remove any way the dudes could climb up. It’s fun for a bit but after a while you’re just shooting fish in a barrel.



Same here, i just felt nerfed in baldurs compared to Dos2. Still had fun though


Wtf I thought you were exaggerating but it legit looks like rs3 graphics. Like even the little xp bubble pop ups
