I’ve become a 60fps convert. It didn’t used to bother me too much, but in the past few years if literally makes my eyes go wonky if things are at 30fps. Bloodborne was the first example I noticed this...

218 hours over 38 days, I finally rolled credits on Saturday.The end wasn’t as good as the journey, I thought the climax was fine but would have liked a much longer and more comprehensive epilogue, ev...

The switch has been the best console since the GameCube. I was more annoyed by the Wii era than anything, though there were some good games, but GameCube was a golden era and Switch has been a mostly ...

It seems like the best things you can do as a games dev studio is stay small, stay as financially independent as possible for as long as possible, and have sustainable goals. Obviously, that's not 100...

That is a bummer. I played bits of Shadow Tactics and Deperados 3 and liked it all, but for some reason didn't stick with it past maybe the third or forth level on each. I have nothing bad to say abou...

@bisonhero: fair. I just meant that Mass Effect is where BioWare got….MASS APPEAL!!!!! Ahahahahaha……I’m a desperately lonely man.But yeah, you are right, there are tons better shooters out there. I th...

@justin258: I think the BioWare fix most folks want is another good mass effect. Shooter/RPG with good story and setting. I love Dragon Age….origins. I liked Inquisition well enough. And those old Bio...

Yeah, it ain't good. Poor Bioware has had a shitty decade. Inquisition was their last hit, which was comparatively decisive to fans. I liked it as I played it but retroactively had a lot of criticisms...

@remotesilver: Jsut two things, and I'm mostly agreeing with both. Danny getting the gamespot archive is worrying in how fandom values it, yes, but it's encouraging that he was able to get it, meaning...

@rlatham: I just realized what it is specifically. I loved the era of “new Dan.” Right after he met Bianca and he was actively trying to be more open to new experiences, and ask smarter questions inst...

@mellotronrules: yes, this. The diversity of personalities is not as wide as it once was. And none of that is to say anyone has a bad personality, it’s just not as mixed as before. We had grumpy but h...

I've become a one or two videos every few weeks guy. The content is good for the people still here, but with all the OGs gone, it's not felt as homey as it once did. Jess, Jeff and Jason being dismis...

Huh, btw, the title screen where it goes underground after clicking, and then a door opens up and a little party of adventurers come out. It's almost too small to tell, but the guy bearing the torch i...

I'm 121 hours in, likely somewhere close to the end of act 2 from what I can tell. I still feel like I'm just ramping up on the main narrative, in the best way. It just feels so huge, in a way I haven...

@efesell: a warlock focused on social manipulation is an appropriate skill set.

It's short and simple, but Zoe Quinn's Depression Quest was somethings that I found helpful, especially in seeing healthy alternatives to unhelpful behavior. Also, and this may not be the case for oth...

And lo, dead reader, after Satinav day did come an older but no less noble tradition, the Half Blood Prince's Anniversary of Values. And there was much rejoicing amongst the simple people.

Happy Satinav day 2023! It's the mostest bestest time of year! 11 glorious years! I've had a global pandemic, moved between 4 different countries, became an improv comic and live show producer, got so...

@sombre: I’m sure they want to, and in fact wish they hadn’t had to say goodbye to Jess and Jason. I just don’t think the overlords give a shit. 2 fewer employers = growth to their mathematically impa...

It’s pretty on rails, but I really liked Stray Gods. It’s essentially a musical based around Mass Effect dialogue wheels, based on a modern version of Greek mythology. I’d maybe categorize it as a vis...
