Running well on PC for some users and bombing on consoles does not mean the game was running well or optimized correctly.

There’s an xkcd for everything.

It’s easier to believe a problem is new and has easy answers, rather than old and long-unsolved.

It’s just dehumanizing “sheeple” or Holden Caulfield’s “phonies” repackaged for the 21st century. The NPC term is very online but the narcissism isn’t.

This is 100% it. Every time you see one of these guys saying “There’s heaps of people walking around with no life behind their eyes” what they actually mean is “I saw someone who wasn’t paying full, enthusiastic, positive attention to me and I don’t understand it.”

It’s truly hard for me to imagine looking at a world full of busy people going about their lives and think that something’s wrong with them because they’re not paying more attention to me.

what im getting from this is that in order to see more behind the scenes footage of game development and a better understanding on how triple a games are produced, we need to generate takes so nightmarishly bad that developers will have no choice but to dunk on them

Well, in economic terms, a “bear market” is one in which the prices of stocks are falling; this is as opposed to a “bull market,” in which they’re rising.

It’s an interesting world where ‘yolo’ is incensing to people who describe themselves as apes flying rocket ships full of stonks to the moon to bring back chicken tendies to stick it to ‘gay bears’.

Please, by all means, highlight a better group of game journalists than Mike Fahey, Evan Narcisse, Jason Schreier, Maddy Myers, Cecilia D’Anastasio, Patrick Klepek, Gita Jackson. Name the site or the journalists. Go on, try your best.

I never wrote anything on Mike’s tribute because I felt anything would be inadequate; the best comment was that his writing and enthusiasm was so genuine it made topics that weren’t interesting interesting (IDGAF about food but would eagerly read every Snacktaku).

I scrolled through this and my main takeaway was that we should all strive to live a life that will be remembered so fondly by so many. 

Here’s your article, people. I wonder why it took so long? Look at all these tributes. RIP, Mike.

Every time I deal with a spider I think about the copy of Plants vs Zombies that ended up stuck on Fahey’s office ceiling and wonder if it’s still there.

Think I’ve teared up three times reading this site: Mike’s struggle with gaming addiction, Mike’s story about being in a coma, and today reading this tribute.

Thank you—and thanks Mike, rest well, you made a lot of people happy. Truly Fahey was the best of us.

If you skipped to the comments please notice the GoFundMe link the editors posted at the end.

Stop hiding under the guise of “conservative”. You and the other Kiwi Farms users are not conservatives, you are fascists. We all see you for what you are, so go ahead and drop the act.

This. Not everyone who loves video games has the luxury of sitting and playing for hours on end. I’ve developed a real appreciation for games that respect my time. 

I sense you’re a fellow old person (i.e., ~30-40) and thus appreciate your old person review. These are the kind of takes I like.

As someone who doesn’t have a ton of time for gaming right now, I’m finding the looping mechanic rewarding as I can hop in for a half an hour or so and make progress, then go do real life stuff, then maybe knock out a level or two before bed. So many immersive sims require a large time commitment to be immersive, but…
