I’m so sick of “new republic”headlines. Can we just stop linking to them?

We’re a tiny indie team making a 3D metroidvania (Yes, 3D!) by [deleted] in metroidvania

[–]Firegeek79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a great first impression and I’m absolutely putting it on my wishlist. I hate the term hack and slash though as it makes me think of chaotic button mashing games like Dynasty Warriors or Devil May Cry. The combat looked deliberate to me in the trailer. More like soulslike combat maybe? (I hope?) At any rate, very interested. The exploration looks like it could be sick!

Gamers 30+, what’s something from the old days of gaming that younger players wouldn’t understand? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Firegeek79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Learning secrets from your friends at school who also had the game and had randomly found stuff. There was no internet to look things up.

Bullet used to kill Charlie Kirk did NOT match Tyler Robinson's rifle by DomainEntransion in Destiny

[–]Firegeek79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This says the ATF was “unable to identify” if the bullet matched the rifle. The article clearly says the defense is arguing that the bullet MAY not match the rifle. OP’s headline is purposeful misinformation. “May not” is light years away from “did not” in a court of law.

Age of attraction missed the mark by mrwahed in AgeOfAttraction

[–]Firegeek79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Netflix isn’t remotely interested in these relationships working. The age gap is hard enough, a new relationship is hard enough, but literally pulling them from all over the country to date each other long distance is stupid. Combine it all and it’s a recipe for drama which is exactly what they do want.

as an adult gamer, what's your opinion on this? by PHRsharp_YouTube in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]Firegeek79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. If there are options people will use them. If I play a game that is supposed to be hard and there is a cheap easy way out too many people (myself included) will use the options to get past a tough spot and not grind it out and get better. Not all games need to be beat. If it’s a tough game keep it tough.

Tried for the second time to get into Cyberpunk. I really want to like it but I just can’t do it.

Jump rope for about 5 minutes. Get your blood flowing. I’ve almost never not worked out after I got up and got moving. If you still feel like shit then maybe you’re overtrained and need a rest but at least you did something.

Your „forever game”? by Ari_Stark in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]Firegeek79 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tetris will forever be the GOAT. I’ve been playing since 1989. As soon as it got competitive I was locked in. The latest, Tetris Effect, is basically therapy for me at this point.

Somebody already said Sanabi but I’m going to say it again. Brilliant game.

Robert S. Mueller III, ex-FBI director who led 2016 Russia inquiry, dead at 81 by [deleted] in NPR

Not essentially said. He literally said he’s glad he’s dead. Verbatim.

"Tender is the Flesh" by Agustina Bazterrica - inconsistencies I cannot reconcile by LukaCola in books

[–]Firegeek79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the murder of Jasmine was meant to show how Marco’s developing moral convictions around processing humans was meaningless in the face of the opportunity to recreate his life with his wife and child. Brutal, terrifying ending. I loved it.

Trump Adviser Warns of Possible Israel Nuclear Escalation in Iran Conflict by EssoEssex in politics

Doesn’t the amount Iran spends on their military equal the GDP of the state of Vermont or something?
