I’d be down for this holder without the puppy thing. I hate how the Switch’s grip is so…boxy. I need shit at slight angles. Read more

The aesthetic and gritty darkness of the Soulsborne games is in ways a love letter to the aesthetic of Berserk, but Berserk is a character driven story whereas Soulsborne games, rightly, have nearly no character so your imagination and the sparse bits of lore can work in tandem together. I picked Berserk up a little…

People going to a con as stormtroopers could be regular fans who think it’s fun in to dress up. Read more

I genuinely wish I could maintain an attitude like yours all the time. I went into it on another post years ago, maybe on Gizmodo, and tried to explain why, despite my knowing full well they’re just nerds like me who aren’t hurting anybody, it still irritates the hell out of me. And amid the people calling me an… Read more

I can’t second Dark Souls hard enough. Read more

YES! Ditto. But when things on the Acer started to break down (things started permanently displaying in like, 16 colors) and programs stopped launching, I started learning how to tear down the facade, and eventually revealed a functional Windows desktop underneath. Read more

Did you have that ACE Desktop shit?

Oh my god. Jazz, Epic Pinball, Tyrian and Descent 2 were the most beloved shareware during my developmental years that were pre-loaded on my otherwise disastrously shitty Acer desktop <3 Fuck, we must have gotten that thing in 1994. I played the first three levels of all those games so, so, so many times.

For the first time in years…nothing. No reason either. I’ve been vaguely trying to be more money conscious, and there weren’t any deals that really screamed out at me. Feels good, man. Read more

Gotcha, gotcha. Cool, thanks for the info!

What’s with all these pieces about old games lately? They don’t seem to be marked as part of a series but there sure are a lot of them. Read more

There’s always Minecraft Java version too. Maybe the other version, don’t know, don’t care. Point is, there’s endless value in that game and it’s Mac compatible (although using a Magic Mouse to scroll through items is worthless). Read more

Over the Garden Wall is one of the best animated shows I’ve ever seen. I watched it twice in the lead-up to Halloween and had the vinyl playing in my house more times than I can remember the same month. Autumn deserves more tributary stuff like that.

Precisely. I saw Thor on Friday and Justice League a few hours ago. I skipped the first 2 Thors, and have been feeling fairly burnt out on super heroes lately, especially after the last few seasons of Netflix’s Marvel shows. But I was giggling through the entirety of Thor Ragnarok. And it surprised me here and there.… Read more

Sounds like a prime candidate for r/ThatHappened. Read more

I suppose we’re entering an age where we really do have to read every word of the TOS before we agree to them. The idea that one can assume it’s all “legalese” that will never have any practical effect on us seems quaint these days. My first system was a Gameboy. The only pre-game text was a couple of logos and a… Read more

This is so satisfying. I’ve been eating shit from hackers on PUBG a lot lately so seeing this sort of thing is good catharsis. Read more

I believe he’s sorry. He’s probably been carrying guilt and self hate over it. But as a lot of people with sexual deviancy do, self hate and guilt won’t necessarily make one able to stop being a deviant. Shit, look at Anthony Weiner. He got busted, in public, his career destroyed, then he had the balls to try again at… Read more

Wild. I never knew these games existed. For the first few years I was online, I would just type a thing I liked, and put .com, .org, and .net after it to find out if it had some sort of web presence. As I recall, I didn’t learn about search engines until middle school, when the computer lab teacher turned us onto… Read more
