Slowly gaining new followers so welcome everyone! I try not to go too hard on social media but you'll see me posting stuff I wrote and occasionally talking about WoW, MMOs, games, Dune, and probably some politics given our current political hellscape.

To be fair I'm not a user of many combat add-ons personally but definitely seems like they are going about this in a bad way, especially regarding accessibility.

Blizzard's intentions are good, but its approach has been anything but.

Not even dbm? That's impressive honestly. I mostly just use a few quality of life ones like plumber, dialogue ui, leatrix plus.

Battlefield 6 seems pretty good! (Minus the menus, those are very bad). Consider this my review.

I found it very fast, especially on the smaller maps. I mostly just like being able to take out a whole squad on your own if you manage to flank them or are in a good position. I also just like feeling like a grunt lol

With little to offer outside of nostalgia and a banger of a Nine Inch Nails soundtrack, Tron: Ares maybe misses the point of the franchise altogether.

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

From bravewave.net/interviews/t...

Mo: Do you remember the first time you met someone who said they loved your work on Mega Man 2?

Tateishi: You’re the first, in 2013. No one else has.

Mo: Wow. I’m surprised. I don’t even have a follow-up question… how could no one come up and say something.

Tateishi: …

Mo: Now that you know how big Mega Man 2 is outside of Japan, do you look fondly back at the soundtrack?

Tateishi: Yeah, my thoughts have changed since I met you and became more aware of how people felt. But even when I was at Konami, I didn’t even bother telling anyone I did Mega Man 2. So the fact you came all the way to Japan to tell me these things makes me very happy I worked on the game all those years ago.

Yikes

I think you're spot on

Cameron Koch @comradecam.bsky.social · 23d

Considering the switch 2 is $500, I don't think $600 is that crazy all things considered

Cameron Koch @comradecam.bsky.social · 23d

Assuming there is at some point in a year or two a $100ish price drop, I could see myself getting the cheaper ROG Xbox Ally, especially if Xbox leans into Play Anywhere. Being able to access Xbox library, Game Pass, Steam, and Battlenet easily is huge.

What's it like to play good games? I'm playing bf2042 and waiting for Digimon to come out lmao

Is this uh good? Splash Damage does good stuff. I have so many fond memories of Wolfenstein Enemy Territory

Uhhh Fire Emblem Shadows is very strange and I do not like it lol. What a weird concept. At least we get real new Fire Emblem next year!

Cameron Koch @comradecam.bsky.social · 24d

Feeling the same way, all of a sudden there's a ton to play. For me it's Digimon Time Stranger and Battlefield 6 shortly after Ghost of Yotei too.

Cameron Koch @comradecam.bsky.social · 25d

Yeah I feel like I'm waiting for stranger than heaven. I also haven't gotten through pirate Yakuza, just felt burned out after infinite wealth.
