Better than butt stuff

  • Which 40k books are the best?

    Jump

  • Somehow not shown up here yet, but Twice Dead King: Ruin is a fantastic Necron book. Not the comedy that Infinite and the Divine is, but focuses on the stagnation and rot the race faces.

  • A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"?

    Jump

  • Not going to lie, I like it quite a bit more than New Vegas. I understand several criticisms that people have, but 3 was by far the better experience for me.

  • A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"?

    Jump

  • It got a lot of backwards hate when 76 came out and it was suddenly really trendy to hate Bethesda. This is not to say that lots of people changed their mind on the game, though I'm sure some did, more that people who didn't like the game got more confident to speak up about disliking it. This is also around the same time the New Vegas became a huge darling in popular opinion.

  • A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"?

    Jump

  • If I remember right, both Legend of Zelda Windwaker and Mario Sunshine were either rushed to an end or released early, leading both to come out unfinished. I the details on why are hazy, but I think they were pushed to try and make up for poor sales of the Gamecube at large or to make up for other gaps in the schedule.

  • Anon misses the classic design

    Jump

  • One reason I've heard it's that you can hold the spoon after pulling the pin on a pineapple grenade, but not on a stick

  • So many

    Jump

  • I try to avoid a lot of discourse around movies/books I haven't seen yet as the expectation can ruin it for me. That said, Infinity War and Ready Player One (the book) still get me angry thinking back on them and the hype didn't help. (Public opinion seems to have flipped largely on the latter, but there was a point when it was held up)

  • Will Tariffs Increase Switch 2's Price? Why The Console And Games Are So Expensive

    Jump

  • It's not the same amount of money to an individual when it's a bigger percentage of their money. Wages haven't come close to matching inflation, so inflation has just lead to most people having to spend more on essentials and therefore having less.

  • Will Tariffs Increase Switch 2's Price? Why The Console And Games Are So Expensive

    Jump

  • This argument gets thrown around a lot but it fails to account for the fact that wages have been stagnant. So while it might cost similar with inflation, people are making less money by the same metric which still results in it being more expensive. Comparing it to prices of the 70's and 80's had the same problem as well as ignoring the difference in market scale video games have now.

    It's perfectly valid for people to be upset that they're being squeezed for something that they were excited for, especially since everyone's hurting right now.

  • Hyper Light Breaker | Early Access Launch Trailer

    Jump

  • Not to say it looks bad by any means, but I think it's a shame that a game with such phenomenal pixel art is moving to 3D

  • 'I Didn't Expect This Much Media Attention' — We Saw Genki's CES Nintendo Switch 2 Mockup, Here's What They Had to Say

    Jump

  • I heard they were trying to use magnets for the first switch, the snapping sound effect supposed to be them snapping into place. However, they caused too much interference so they switched to the runners. I imagine, if they're trying again, they've been working on getting them working for a while.

  • The Elder Scrolls 6 Announcement Is Now as Old as Skyrim Was When The Elder Scrolls 6 Was Announced

    Jump

  • I believe that was the same year as Fallout 76, which has come out as being made to boost Bethesda's stock before the Microsoft buyout. I would not be shocked at all if the trailer was put out solely for the same reason.

  • Canoness Lydia is ready to grind up some heretics

    Jump

  • Sisters in purple are top tier

  • Sony Working on Handheld Console for PS5 Games to Rival Switch

    Jump

  • Sony has twice tried to make a handheld work, twice did fantastic with hardware with features ahead of its time and then... nothing. They immediately give up. I loved the Vita and see the Switch as basically Vita 2. A bit more work and that could have been yours, Sony.

    I would love for them to get into a handheld fight with Nintendo, as both Nintendo and Sony put out much more quality stuff when they are trying to prove themselves against someone and both have been coasting in their corners for a while now.

  • Steam is 'an unsafe place for teens and young adults': US senator warns Gabe Newell of 'more intense scrutiny' from the government if Valve doesn't take action against extremist content

    Jump

  • This is fair. I am usually not in spaces where I'd see it much but have heard tell. Part of why I say it is to not have people feel shamed if they just generally like the culture/pop aesthetic involved without any baggage and to encourage people to do what they can to counter co-opt attempts

  • Bluesky Social surpasses 19 million users as more celebrities leave X

    Jump

  • Won't happen. Not necessarily the them not buying it part, but it staying popular at all. No site/program is too big for Microsoft to torpedo. Skype used to be the verb for voice calls before they got their hands on it.

  • Steam is 'an unsafe place for teens and young adults': US senator warns Gabe Newell of 'more intense scrutiny' from the government if Valve doesn't take action against extremist content

    Jump

  • This is hyperbole. A large amount of racists and bigots are into norse stuff? Maybe. Almost all people in the norse stuff are racists and bigots? High doubt, and shouldn't be allowed to be coopted anyway. Loki is one of the few ancient figures with some gender fluid markings as it is.

  • Geoff Keighley is apparently attempting to trademark "The Game Awards" with the US Patent Office

    Jump

  • Feels like this is made in an attempt to get outrage clicks, but I'm pretty sure the show has a legitimate claim to "The Game Awards" as a trademark.

  • In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment?

    Jump

  • Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines Not only is it fantastic, it would benefit greatly from a remake due to how the code is held together by tape and dreams of a better future

  • Disc Editions Make Up 82% Of All PS5 Console Sales

    Jump

  • PC games are a bit different simply from how open they are. It was too easy to rip disks which is part of how the perception of PC gamers as nothing but pirates came about in the 00's. Part of the reason that early Steam sales were so legendarily good was because so many publishers had written PC gaming off as a lost cause.
