I go up to very old coma victims that just woke up and introduce them to video games by having them watch a few minutes of DOTA2, ensuring that they never touch another video game ever again. Sometimes they just die on the spot, from embarrassment for the poor souls having to play DOTA2.

When you think about it, Elden Ring is a turn based game. You're just taking 20 - 60 turns per second.

There's a really good talk from one of the OG Diablo developers where he reveals that it was turn-based and to make it an action game they tried setting the turns to run at 30 Hz and it actually worked lol

Rocket League really was an idea that made me go "poo poo I wish I thought of that" it's so simple yet something that was missing from current times, i.e. a silly sports game.

I feel like Rocket League is the closest thing we have to Speedball from the Amiga these days.

dota 2 is really fun when you watch a commentated game and only see the 1/10th to 1/5th of the game with the most action at any one point

The point of Dota 2 is not to have fun but to annoy people to the point where you're having the most fun. I don't know why people struggle with that it's really easy. "I'm going mid" *picks a hero nobody goes mid with*. *plays poorly* *picks items that aren't considered what you're suppose to buy*.

I am a busy man child with no time for fail states. I do not want to load game, I do not want to memorize attack patterns and repeat the first half of the fight. I have already experienced that content and it does not get more fun on repeat. Why must so many games persist with the concept of hit points? Just show me a frowny face and VO “you’re not playing the game right” as I tank all the boss attacks while underlevelled. I’m here for some novelty, devs, not more dodge rolling!

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!
ignoring the Elden Ring debate by playing The Last of Us and Uncharted 2 on my OG Fat PS3 bought in 2009.

how in the hell are these games running in 256 MB of RAM and a 256 MB video card? holy poo poo.

e: they got Wolfenstein The New Order running on the PS3. it plays really, really well.

When you know exactly what hardware you're running something on there's a lot of sneaky little hacks available to you. Games at the end of a console's life, especially exclusives, are so ridiculously optimised, it's amazing.

git gud is dumb bullshit and 98% of reddit is lying about how easy any game is

Path of Exile is a good game balanced poorly around 3 AND EXACTLY 3 viable endgame builds

Elden Ring shouldn't have platforming the controls are upgraded from Souls to "barely playable" from "shopping cart simulator"

Input queuing is just trolling the player and appeals only to people who have nothing else going on in their lives

Elden Ring, but it's a fast paced FPS instead. Elden Ring, but it's a quirky and comedic puzzle platformer. Elden Ring but it's a MOBA.

Let's spin this franchise!

Also six days until the new Borderlands, I'm pumped. I also bought a Series S and CP2077. It's pretty good!

I never got hyped for it so I didn't get disappointed. I know it was buggy at launch, but I didn't play it much at all then (I didn't own it). Apparently everyone wanted it to be the everything game as usual. I think it works pretty well for a story driven RPG.

I dunno, I just wanted sci-fi shooties with a big world to wander in and some RPG stuff and it delivered pretty well so far.
