It’s definitely not quality or popularity given how many have been flops recently. It’s about the budget and publisher. Big money and/or big names = AAA.

Burnout Revenge was an amazing party game back in the day. Simple enough that anyone could immediately start playing without being terrible at it, and chaotic enough to keep everyone hooked.

I only completed 2 games this year. Horizon Forbidden West and God of War Ragnarok. Played a bunch of others but they were either endless or I lost interest right near the end.

Currently not-quite finished list: Zelda ToTK, Satisfactory, BG3 Endless games: Animal crossing, Cities Skylines, Stardew Valley

Absurdist humour will always have fans

Even with context. The whole site was dedicated to hosting brainrot before brainrot was even a word.

What about a pal boomerang? The retrieval would make more sense too.

Love seeing foreign people attempt to explain the culture of a country they’ve never been to.

“This game is rubbish, good day sir!” Flatlines

ChatGPT bots are in most popular threads. It’s really obvious once you’ve seen a couple of them. They usually leave some generic comment that essentially just repeats what’s in the title or describes the picture with a vague emotion attached.

For example on a photo of a cat wearing socks the ChatGPT comments will be something like “It’s so cute how the cat is wearing socks! Cats are not normally meant to wear socks!”

If you click on their username you will normally see that the account is less than a few weeks old and every single comment made is of the same strange tone, adding nothing to the conversation, just describing and responding to the original post.

Edit: Found one for you as an example: https://www.reddit.com/user/TwirlingFlower45/

I thought the PS3 wasn’t backwards compatible due to the weird new cell processor working differently? I remember it being a big controversy at the time.

UT99 with the Chaos UT mod, playing on DM-Morpheus or CTF-Facing Worlds. We had it so good back then.

It’s worth getting into ahead of the release of the second one in a few months time

The day 1 release suit was the worst. “Life support systems falling” every few seconds even when it’s on like 80%. Now it’s only the “units received” spam from mass scanning that’s annoying

Yeah all of my hobbies are ghost towns here. I don’t care about Linux, US politics or Communism so I filtered them out. Now all that’s left is general interest posts and AI generated porn.

I only save scummed the Gwent tournament as it’s a one-shot type deal. The rest of the game there was no need as it autosaves frequently and there is basically no consequences to losing a game of Gwent to a rando

Boy that’s a lot of work just to play some old crap from more than 30 years ago

Canal boats were traditionally towed by horses alongside on the tow path, but the paths don’t go through tunnels so it’s feasible that this was what they did to get through

Usually standard graphics at 60fps instead of ray tracing and stuff at 30fps

I always get to the part with nuclear power, then I take a look at the space elevator objective recipes, realise I need to multiply my factory size by about 20 and just nope out

Chuffed is slang for very pleased in the UK. More specifically it’s when something good has just happened to you that’s causing you to grin uncontrollably like a lunatic.

As my crude father would say: “I’m chuffed to buggery!”

Although buggery is a bad thing on its own, when combined with chuffed it’s like a +1 enchantment instead.

I’ve used a hand plane to flatten out a cutting board as a complete amateur. It works surprisingly well but something larger like a tabletop would take a long time
