Your title says “What are in you are top 3 favourite games of all time”.

You were thinking of “your”, which is possessive. “You’re” is a contraction of “you” and “are”; the apostrophe is a hint there.


Lol, you’re right! My bad


I think you missed. You’re replying to the post about Road Rash saying the game didn’t hold your attention as long as Road Rash.

You probably meant to reply to a comment, haha


Honestly, yes. If they’re having to guess what is or isn’t allowed, it’s only a matter of time until it actually happens.

And sure, having a Visa influences my stance on what Valve should do! Haha


MasterCard probably makes too much money from Steam to permanently ban them.


Probably a Mystery Dungeon game. I’d go with Gen 5, having not played it on ages, for a mainline game.

Scarlet/Violet was surprisingly decent, at least in the end-game.


Not every single piece of art goes into a museum


Haha, it wasn’t the end of the sentence, but I don’t think the rest of the original sentence meaningfully changed that particular clause!


I agree with what you’ve said, but their (stated) mission is about fighting sexual violence against women.

Regardless of what any religious text says, that sounds like a good thing to fight against. In practice, I think things have gotten a bit out of hand here.



It wasn’t the payment processors that got Andrew Tate off of Spotify, it was the actions of the activist group


They got Andrew Tate off of Spotify, which is a win though…

I can understand if they’re fighting human trafficking and such. But going after porn video games, which generally don’t feature real people or generally glorify human trafficking etc., I’m not sure why this is part of their scope.

I could also see this group being against Donald “Grab 'em by the pussy” Trump.

I haven’t seen the games that are getting targetted. I’ve heard it isn’t all porn games. What’s the criteria for removal?



The GC didn’t have a keyboard, so it was useful for MMORPGs. Not sure if I should be pluralizing that, though. It might’ve only been PSO.


I got the base game for free a few years ago.

I played and enjoyed it so much I bought the Platinum edition…on Steam, because it was cheaper there. (And other reasons, but this was the biggest one)

One of the few games I actually went out and bought thanks to Epic. I feel slightly bad for not buying from them, lol


the network that allows bank transfers to happen nigh instantaneously.

Ah, so I guess Canada doesn’t use them! Haha


Definitely needed the /s there. I’m sure you saw the 3 or so other comments who were explaining why Valve are good guys, lol


“impacts” has been in my vocabulary for as long as I remember, and it’s common to use it that way. The dictionaries even have that definition.

I’m not afraid of language evolving.


If media can say “slammed” to mean “said something about”, I can use “impacted” to mean “affected”. Especially when we have the word “impactful”.



Harvest Moon is Temu Stardew Valley. I know Harvest Moon came first. Stardew Valley does literally everything better than Harvest Moon


If an ordered item arrives broken once, it’s a shitty delivery company. 1-star probably isn’t warranted unless the company is shitty about replacing it.

If an ordered item arrives broken regularly, it’s a problem that the company should’ve fixed.

If a game doesn’t work on one person’s machine, maybe they’ve got a bunch of malware installed or something.

If it doesn’t work on many people’s machines that meet the recommended specs, the company is at fault and deserves bad reviews.



I was referring to where they said

Bro, it’s a YOSHI game

Going based on the expectations set by Yoshi’s Island, one wouldn’t be off to expect challenge in Yoshi’s Story, its follow-up.



Going forward? RetroAchievements, Steam, GOG, and LaunchBox to tie it all together. PSN trophy integration to LaunchBox would be cool too, because PS3 stuff is never coming to any of those platforms and I have history there, too.

For historical stuff, that’s in my memory exclusively.


You may have seen reports of leaks of older text messages that had previously been sent to Steam customers. We have examined the leak sample and have determined this was NOT a breach of Steam systems.


Should’ve been “Until the tariffs are gone, right?”


“Mom! I want to read articles on Polygon!”

We have Polygon at home.

The Polygon at home:

Polgyon



Yeah, broadcasting to the world that you’re playing a game that hasn’t been released yet isn’t a great idea. Particularly when it’s Nintendo. It’s pretty common knowledge how petty they are even with stuff that’s less flagrant


14 isn’t old, it’s not even legal age to buy cigarettes.

I’ll do some weird math.

The first computer game could be argued to have been released in 1950, and the first commercial video game was released in 1971. Let’s call it either 70 or 50 years ago.

14 years is 20~28% of the entire history of video games.

The first feature film came out in 1906; let’s call it 120 years old. So let’s calculate what 20~28% of this history of film is.

20% of 120 years is 24 years, and 28% is 33.6, rounded to 34.

So if you compare them by the “commercial video game vs. feature film” definition, a 14-year old game is like Beauty and the Beast, Hangin’ with the Homeboys, or Showdown in Little Tokyo.

If you want to use the “youngest” ratio, then we can compare Skyrim to films that are just 24 years old, like Shrek, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, or Spy Kids.

I dunno, I think 14 years old is an old game! Haha


To clarify, I don’t think the writers did anything wrong. The headline will be misleading because Nintendo’s being somewhat misleading.

I don’t know how much the headline could be improved, if at all.

Nintendo says NS2 GC controller will only “officially” support GC games

Or if they can’t quote “officially”, they could quote “only”. Which could arguably be more clickbaity, but also clue in a casual reader that there’s more to what Nintendo officially says.


It’s somewhat misleading. It’s not providing the additional background information, and it leads the headline with the claim (not that Nintendo is making a claim).

I don’t think it’s a bad headline. It’d be hard to include all the information in the headline. But if someone only reads the headline (something like 73% of people), they could end up with a mistaken conclusion. And those people will have been lead in that direction (so, mislead).


The games don’t drop in price, but the consoles do. There’s even a chance the price could go down for the holiday season, even if it’s something miniscule. This launch price is the early adopter tax.

What are you going on about?

The reason I kept showing you the same comment is because you said things like “I’m deeply confused” and asking me what I’m saying.

I’m not even arguing with you. But you seem to be putting a lot of effort into reading an argument into what I’m saying. Is this how you enjoy spending your time on social media? Lol


Why do you keep using words like “accuse” and “guilty”? Lol

Nintendo benefitted financially from piracy and made no efforts to hide the fact that they obtained games through the exact same methods that pirates use.

This is what I’m saying. I’m not even sure why you seem to be trying to make this a fight or an argument or something. “Tire you out”? Lol


I’m asking you to clearly formulate what it is that you’re accusing Nintendo of.

For the third time…

Nintendo benefitted financially from piracy and made no efforts to hide the fact that they obtained games through the exact same methods that pirates use.

Which part is unclear to you? Lol

Source, in case you’re unfamiliar with this funny thing they did


What are you confused about?

I don’t understand what your angle is. It feels like you’re really trying to win an argument, except you seem to be the only one arguing.

I’ve been trying to sort out a misunderstanding, and it looks like you’re trying to win something. The misunderstanding is sorted out. So, I guess you win, too?


Unfortunately, I use some software that’s Windows-only, and can’t be bothered to set up a VM or anything
