I’ve definitely been over boasts of hundreds of hours of content for some years now. The one game I own that really would qualify as having over 100 hours without padding is Tabletop Simulator, which is really just an engine for playing thousands of other games, so I suppose that shouldn’t count. But generally, devs…

Yeah, having a frequency chart at your disposal is NEATO.

The combat in World of Horror feels a lot more predictable once you’ve played a few randomized campaigns and worked out how to improve your accuracy and/or when to run from fights. I enjoyed it more once I had a better handle on the mechanics, and I wondered if it was supposed to be like Nethack (i.e., you die until…

I’ve been grinding through Disgaea for the past couple of weeks. I owned the original PS2 release and wound up selling it and some other games when I needed to pay for my last semester of tuition. I always felt like I’d stopped short of some massive world of bonus content, but now that I’ve done everything the PC…

I mean, if they’d included Triciaisabirdy’s handle, most people reading the headline would be asking, “Who the fuck is Triciaisabirdy?” I think you’re misreading what the most important information of the article is.

Eh. He’s like a sea-minus captain.

God, the amount of effort it took me to get to the quote in paragraph two of this 316-word article was simply excruciating.

Anti-vaxxers will distort anything and everything to fit a narrative that they’ve been right all along. We shouldn’t filter what we communicate based on that. For anyone else, “Fortunately I was vaccinated, so I didn’t have any symptoms, but I’m still isolating at the advice of the experts” is a good thing to hear out…

Maybe they don’t like beans.

Would you like to take a survey?

My exercise was Dance Dance Revolution. It had a great soundtrack, harder charts required you to reckon with trickier rhythms and figure out how to twist your body or distribute your weight differently or not alternate your feet to make hitting the directions in time easier, and with all that to focus on, I was never…

That’s how I felt when I played it briefly back in February. I got a peek at each of the planets and waited for some kind of obvious goal to materialize, gave it another couple cycles, had no idea what I was interested in trying, and shelved it.

Outer Wilds is a game that has been frustrating me since last weekend, as I cautiously make my way to the location of the mystery I’m trying to solve, careful not to fling myself into the sun with lazy autopiloting in the process, and wait out half of the game’s cycle so I don’t miss an event I’m trying to get some…

BREADY FOR ACTION

Probably because they want to pair it with our first meaty look at the gameplay, and the title they’ve landed on, The Legend of Zelda: The Big Cool Gimmick of This One is that You Fly Around in Something that Looks Like a Rune-Covered Fighter Jet, and Also You Find Out Eighty Percent of the Way Through that Link…

I’m not so worried about completing things by the end of the year as I am concerned about purchasing games faster than I’m playing them. But given that there was a time my backlog was in the 80s, and I reassessed my collection to include PS2 and Gamecube games I’d never completed midway through this effort, I’m…

I had every intention of falling asleep while reading the Jaws of the Lion rulebook last night so I’d be able to jump in after work today, but instead wound up just punching out tokens and setting up the organizer and monster/player character bags, which was itself an hour of work. I’m not really all that concerned…

I just finished Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity last night. It stayed entertaining enough, but faced with rehashing the mash-mash-mashing to earn 100%, I shelved the game and took it off my backlog list. I enjoyed it, with the exception of the very counter-BotW “Oh no, a small rock! I must find a way around!” map…

Well, that explains the pterodonorrhea.

Alan Ruck? The sausage king of Chicago?
