John Walker's discussions

I love every single thing about this. Read more

There is no torture. You can choose to play in a more cruel way if you have the willpower. Or you can avoid any such behaviour. Read more

“but it’s been anything but an easy road to get there.” Read more

The idea that a free mod should have to pay someone for not doing anything seems utterly obnoxious to me. Read more

What ghastly greedy behaviour from all those people wanting to be paid for doing nothing whatsoever.  Read more

Heaven forfend that someone use something infinitely duplicable without someone’s permission! Goodness me, then where would we be? Read more

No, I have no desire to see a person receive a pile-on for being wrong on the internet. God knows I’ve been on the receiving end of such things, and it benefits no one. Read more

Please be a joke, please be a joke, please be a joke... Read more

But I say the exact opposite. I say it’s great when the artists who create these mods have the ability to get paid. And I think it’s wonderful when all artists get paid for their endeavours. I’ve never suggested otherwise. It’d just be nice if they could pass on the same freedoms they benefited from to the others,… Read more

I suspect that the Switch wouldn’t be able to handle GameCube emulation, so it’d have to be remasters each time. But honestly, if they let me rebuy Metroid Prime x3 on Switch, like a damn fool I’d do it. Read more

I recently tried replaying Starship Titanic, and it is still colossally awful, I’m afraid. Read more

He's 6, you berk. And experiences human emotions. Read more

No, you can do it for free. Read more

I SAID I DIDN’T WANT TO KNOW! Read more

I mean, it’s that because it has a billion downloads and charges for events like this. Read more

Gosh, you got really unlucky! Outside of raids we got two Bellsprouts, a Vulpix, an Eevee (!), Koffing, Omanyte, Psyduck, Horsea, Tangela and Charmander. Read more

I’m not criticising Nintendo for it at all! I’m saying I welcome their making shorter, more experimental games too. Read more

They’re just fine. It’s a bit more awkward since you have to move the cursor around, but they’re well implemented. Read more
