Old Man Bad Takes
Okay, so Vermintide 2 is free to claim on Steam. I already had the game, but thought I'd give it another spin and maybe buy the career DLC.
The game doesn't work.
Their own anti-cheat makes connecting to games impossible.
During a free weekend meant to promote the game.
Stellar work, FatShark.

Anyway, I was watching a show last night and one of the characters had a high school flashback and in that, he was playing with a Playstation Vita.

Generally, methotrexate has been shown to be effective in managing rheumatoid arthritis (among other inflammatory conditions).

I find these remasters ugly personally, but if you're interested in them, the new GMG Bundle has the Tomb Raider, Soul Reaver, Turok 3 and Shadowman remasters, as well as Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition for 17 Euros. Also, Stubb the Zombie. It's an admittedly great deal.

On the flipside of games preservation, I just realized that a bunch of Psikyo shumps were removed from Steam at the end of October, because the licensing agreement expired. So, this is a good reminder that the only viable route for older games is emulation, no matter how many re-releases you see.

By the way, I don't really have the time for MMORPGs outside of occasionally logging in, but ArenaNet need to commended for the way they run their games. This is a great, great move on their part:

You have a Steam account, because it's a great pro-consumer and pro-developer platform with a plethora of diverse games for every niche.
I have a Steam account, so I can be the first to pre-order Half-Life 3 when it drops.
We're not the same.

lmao, he really put his foot down, truly the US is a country to be respected for its show of unwavering strength in support of its moral standing.
President Trump on Jamal Khashoggi, who the CIA determined was ordered to be killed by Saudi Crown Prince MBS:

"You're mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen."

I picked up Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel on a whim knowing nothing about it. Saber is in this. And Saya from Saya no Uta. And Akane Tsunemori from Psycho Pass is in this game. Also Ein, from Requiem from a Phantom, which is a deep cut. It's nice to still be surprised by games.

"Drug enforcement intentions"-- imperialistic aspirations. Call it what it is.

Anyway, someone should remake the Dreamcast version of Maken X. I don't even mean Atlus or SEGA, just someone should remake it in Goldsrc or something.

Me: "Okay, I'm going to bed a little earlier, I'll finally be able to get one more hour of sleep, I'm exhausted"
Brain, after less than 6 hours: "Get up. That's enough, get up. Why aren't you getting up? Fine, here's a mini nightmare. Are you up now? Good. And don't you ever fucking do this again."

I realized I hadn't played the Witcher 3 expansions, so I'm replaying the entire game from the start, as you do and I gotta be honest: I wish I had the time to re-read those books before playing this. You can't imagine just how much better they make the game.
November 15, 2025 at 3:40 PM
Oh that's good, I was afraid the game was abandoned. I still think the game needs a "classic mode" that reverts some of the gameplay systems that seem to exist for the sake of existing, but this is still good.
November 13, 2025 at 8:24 AM
Okay.
Look.
I'm very happy Valve's making more hardware. I would very much like one of their controllers.
It's just that--
what is that D-Pad? How is it that the Mega Drive/Saturn D-Pad is still not the standard for all new gamepads? Why is that not some kind of law?

I've been playing Kingdom Come Deliverance with JP audio for language immersion purposes and I can't find *any* information on the cast and it's driving me insane. I'm pretty positive Divish here is voiced by Hidekatsu Shibata, who voiced King Bradley in Fullmetal Alchemist.

By the by, it's also 0.99 on Steam and it seems to be a permanent price drop instead of a sale.
Fighting EX Layer is currently $0.99/£0.79 on the PS Store.

Good, I remember this incident. Fuck that guy.

So anyway, in Ninja Gaiden 1 level 4, there's this part with enemies shooting from afar and you're supposed to reach them by shimming across pipes, but when you get to them another 2 spawns behind you, but if you kill those, the first 2 respawn and anyway I'm just saying I want the world to burn.

They're not "suspected drug cartels", until they can explain why they suspect them. At this point, with ten attacks and 46 people dead, any framing other than "extrajudicial killings" is enabling the flagrant violations of international law.

Ah, good, it's time for our triennial "let them eat cake" video games post.
AAA video games should cost $100 on launch. this would still be extremely cheap for the amount of time and enjoyment you get out of them! But an audience of whiny babies has kept them literally at the same price for *two decades* despite both general inflation *and* sector-specific costs rising

On a completely random note, I just replayed the first level of Ninja Gaiden Sigma 1 and I discovered something... interesting. See, last time I tried to play this p̶i̶e̶c̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶s̶h̶i̶t̶ totally balanced game, I installed the Black mod right out of the gate and I struggled on that first level for an hour.
October 22, 2025 at 8:37 PM
There are mods to alleviate some of the issues of the game and I'll use them on NG+, but I'm a little worried it has been out for a month now and there haven't been any patches to address some of the feedback. Either the devs are very confident in their design or Konami isn't paying for patches.
October 22, 2025 at 9:20 AM
I think what bothers me about Silent Hill f is that I don't see the "way it's meant to be played". I mean, I can't find a unifying design principle. It has a lot of "things", but I'm not sure why it has most of these "things".
