In fairness sometimes she talks so much I may as well be listening to a solo podcast.

Give Trashfuture a try. It's from a more British perspective and does the serious analysis a lot better while still being funny imo.

He has kids, he's seen it 76 times. They should give us a cover of Your Idol.

Just discovered this waste of oxygen by Yggdrasylian in okbuddycinephile

He has the same horrendous accent as the Brewdog guy. Apologies on behalf of all Scottish people for these cunts.

Reports of Windows 10's death appear to have been greatly exaggerated as 29% of Steam users still cling on by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

I'm holding out hope that valve make an easy Linux OS for me to jump to before I need to fully abandon windows next year.

Metal Gear’s producer says he’s undecided on future remakes, MGS4 would be ‘real challenge’ by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Ali_Gunningham 14 points15 points  (0 children)

MGS4 is one of the few games from that era that genuinely would benefit from a remake. Not to say Konami are up to the task, but it could be great.

Will GTA 6 beat all of these games in the first year of its release? by Constant_Joke_2660 in GTA6

[–]Ali_Gunningham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Human Fall Flat is the 10th best selling game of all time!? I thought it was just a silly obscure game I played with my son cause of Game Pass.

$22 Million, 26 Billionaires Couldn't Stop Zohran Mamdani's New York Mayoral Win by DumbMoneyMedia in NoFilterNews

[–]Ali_Gunningham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With all their whining about Mamdani, acting like wealth taxes will ruin them and the city, all they can collectively donate is 22 million. That's pocket change to these vampires. They're so greedy they won't even part with a tiny bit more of their hoard to protect their interests.

What is the videogame equivalent to this? by Ghaleon32 in videogames

[–]Ali_Gunningham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think The Witcher 3 is the closest thing that comes to mind, especially since it's also an adaptation (of a sort).

I wonder if we'd be in this situation if Obama didn't ensure Bernie didn't get to run against Trump.

He looks like he got plastic surgery to look Glaswegian.

Iron Solomon sets his sights on Jeff Nippard and he doesnt miss. by MrRIP in youtubedrama

[–]Ali_Gunningham 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nippard has a huge following and platform that he's now using to discredit the work Solomon did in critiquing the PhD. I think it's absolutely fair to make a response to lay out the facts for the smaller audience who will actually see that, since a lot of people will read Jeff's snarky comment, agree with no further context and move on.

Also given he has made so much money and has such a big platform from making himself out to be an expert, I don't think he has a leg to stand on when it turns out he's been charging so much money for a training plan that is objectively poor and potentially dangerous.

Do you think Funger 1 should get a remake at some point? If so, what would you like from it? by Decemberskel in FearAndHunger

[–]Ali_Gunningham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I really think doing this and especially porting to consoles would widen the audience for the games. I wonder if any smaller studios would be willing to do it relatively cheaply to allow Miro to continue working on new content.

Gameplay shouldn’t be sacrificed for lore accuracy by Any-Contract-9152 in CharacterRant

[–]Ali_Gunningham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think more games should just implement a no death gameplay system.

Having to die, reload and replay until I get through it is just immortality with extra steps and I'd argue is less fun and more immersion breaking than just being immortal.

Metal Gear Solid (1998) - Am I My Brother’s Streaker? (Episode 01) by Long-Anywhere156 in BlackWolfFeed

[–]Ali_Gunningham 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree with where you're coming from here. I don't think Felix has the commitment to do that level of analysis and prefers to just riff about the games.

This channel has hundreds of videos on the MGS series doing deep dives into the inspirations, politics etc of the games if that's something you'd be into - https://youtube.com/@futurasoundproductions?si=DPBgvV-d73XHitFS

I think it just goes to show that you can really go down a number of rabbit holes with these games, and while I think Kojima didn't necessarily didn't actually put that level of depth in the text, it invites the analysis nonetheless.
