Probably the Game Gear honestly, though it’s mostly because of the time. Not only was it ridiculously better than its competition (it was in color! It had a better game library too), but at the time I was a kid, and my family did a lot of traveling. As a result, I actually got a lot of use out of handheld gaming. I…

I’ve learned my lesson, I try to avoid hype in general. I’ll either enjoy it or not, but even if I do enjoy it I’ll probably enjoy it more if I don’t go in with large expectations.

I honestly haven’t played in a long time, I was one of the testers of the original (to call it a wreck would be generous), and came back to take a look at the remake a while after launch. It’s been a long time since I played though, and honestly I can barely recall any of the story, so pieces like this feel odd to me.…

Honestly, none of those explanations make much sense to me. The official one though particularly bemuses me, given that complaint could be applied to idiomatic language in general.

It’s been mentioned, but I think a lot of the issue with this question is that evil paths tend to be both less fleshed out, and less satisfying narratively. Honestly, I find more detailed and morally grey stories to be interesting, but that’s not generally what you get when you pick evil. Put more simply, if the…

Well, I hadn’t been paying much attention to the PS5 given I won’t be getting one for a while, but what the fuck? Digital edition? Shouldn’t they either do one or the other? This is just bizarre.

I’ll be honest, as little fondness for Epic as I have at this point (which, frankly after the Epic store debacles is admittedly minimal) this fight was never going to be done by some little company that could. I’ve been disappointed by how Kotaku has varied between trashing Epic, and bothsidesing something where the…

Still playing Remnant from the Ashes, though I had to restart due to my save file, backup, profile, and backup of that being corrupted. Which is apparently common in this game. I found a save file backup manager to fix the issue, but still had to redo about twenty hours of the game.

Well, at least mine was a gift. Still though, I’d actually prefer this does hit them with a class action. Admittedly that’s partially for the precedent it might set though.

I was immediately tempted to say E.T., but honestly that’s in retrospect based on culture. In truth, I’m really not sure, I started playing games early enough that I don’t really even know what the first games I played were, far less which ones I had enough expectations of to be let down. Plus, a lot of the stuff that…

Pretty much. I’m not going to claim it’s a great game, but it scratches an itch. Albeit honestly, I’m mostly playing it since it doesn’t involve much thought. I should probably be working on my backlog.

AniDB? I haven’t watched in years, but I just went and checked and they still seem to have their group status section left up. Admittedly though, they aren’t streamers, they just aggregate lists of who is translating what.

Managed to wake up from a nightmare in horrible pain, have my neighbor put their hound out shortly after dawn (they should not be allowed to have pets, they keep the fucking thing in their yard all the time with a shock collar), fail to get back to sleep, and finally find out it was approaching seventy at 8 AM.

It probably says a lot about how long this game has been running that the point you started playing was one of the time periods I returned to playing. And that it also mirrored the balance to a degree the point I started playing, albeit for an entirely different reason.

This is my usual method, since I live a couple blocks from a drop box. Honestly though, it’s perfectly fine to use the mail, just maybe make sure to send it in early rather than waiting till the last moment.

I hear you, I eat more when I’m depressed or upset. Which given multiple mental disorders is a serious problem. Particularly in combination with having had to drop a hundred pounds when I was younger, resulting in a drastically slowed metabolism.

I kind of agree with you about the DLC (and despised the writing in BL3 as a whole), but hammering on Borderlands as a whole for its writing? No. Maybe the previous games weren’t particularly serious, but their writing tended to be good at what they were going for.

Better to draw from the design of the LotR movies than The Hobbit movies anyways.

This is a great point, and honestly it’s been a problem for years. I’m not opposed to numeric scores the way you are, but critic scores are even less useful than user scores these days. I first realized this when D3 was released to near universal acclaim, while I was playing the trashfire that it was at launch. Even…

Yeah, that was hard. I actually have this system in storage still and only guessed two of these.
