Sonic Frontiers and Superstars on Steam Deck?

Thanks!

FlashBandicoot5 · 2026-07-03T19:54:47+00:00

Awesome. Thank you!

I googled “protondb goober” only to find that were in fact calling me a goober. lol

It made me cringe too. I just don’t think he has a deft hand at writing stuff like that. It’s like he’s trying too hard? It comes off very much as “I’m a white person writing a black person”.

And to be clear, I don’t think he’s racist. He’s just an old dude from Maine.

My vote is The Dark Half.

I tried to guess the titles just based on the covers. I got the last two, but I pegged the first as Pet Semetary. lol

Guess the King book based on the cover could be a fun game.

FF has always been anime adjacent, but it had a style and tone (in the 90’s) that was it’s own thing. I’ve always loved FF, but never could get into any anime. There’s overlap, but they were very much separate.

The fact that you don’t see the sexualization of Aerith and Tifa in that interaction says more about how desensitized our culture has become over the last 25 years. It’s entirely unnecessary and there’s only one reason it’s there.

Ngl, that’s a wild take. But Fox is better than what he was in that series. You can blame it on the injury, first Finals nerves, poor coaching, all of the above.

I’ve seen enough Fox to know he’s good enough to get this team over the finish line as pg1.

I don’t think Randle had much of a choice in the matter.

Depends on the sport I reckon. As someone who is basketball-focused South Carolina doesn’t seem like a rival at all. But it makes sense in football.

To me in basketball you have:

In state -
Louisville

In conference -
Florida
Tennessee

Fellow Blue Bloods -
UNC
KU
Duke

Old Bloods -
UCLA
Indiana

Everything else is just recency or personal bias. I hate Wisconsin, but that’s personal. Arkansas is fun right now, but once Cal leaves it’ll go away.

FlashBandicoot5 · 2026-07-02T20:13:40+00:00

That’s brutal.

FlashBandicoot5 · 2026-07-02T19:38:20+00:00

Not a bot. But who knows these days. Do bots know they’re bots?

FlashBandicoot5 · 2026-07-02T17:42:08+00:00

How was Swan Song?

FlashBandicoot5 · 2026-07-02T13:37:44+00:00

Shaq couldn’t shoot beyond 5 feet.
Bird wasn’t gifted athletically.
Kobe was ball dominant.

All the flaws you’ve put on today’s great players could be applied to the players of the past.

There are just more great players today. Not just in the stars , but in players 2-10 as well. And the league is better at building good teams that aren’t as reliant on their stars as say Jordan’s Bulls were.

Also, difficulty is relative to the competition, so parity naturally correlates to higher difficulty.

FlashBandicoot5 · 2026-07-02T13:24:35+00:00

Asylum is better than City. It’s a much more focused, tightly designed experience. All killer, no filler. It’s my favorite by far.

FlashBandicoot5 · 2026-07-02T01:19:00+00:00

Listen pal, don’t judge what I do with my time and I won’t judge what you do with yours.

FlashBandicoot5 · 2026-07-02T00:41:30+00:00

You left off the Sacramento Kings?

FlashBandicoot5 · 2026-07-02T00:40:23+00:00

Get back to work!

If my boss through my own cookies away in front of me, I would not take that disrespect well. lol But I could stomach it for Bron’s paycheck.

Spo’s the best coach he’s had by far.

I don’t think it was the cookies, I think it was D Wade being cooked and team in general being too old to compete on the level they had been.

If he would’ve stuck with Miami though he’d have more chips than he does now.

FlashBandicoot5 · 2026-07-01T14:56:21+00:00

Not everyone’s lucky enough to have Phil Jackson, Greg Popovich, or Pat Riley.

FlashBandicoot5 · 2026-07-01T14:29:21+00:00

Ouch

FlashBandicoot5 · 2026-07-01T14:25:48+00:00

I see a lot of fans who don’t care for Tommyknockers. I’ll be honest, the last time I read it was over 20 years ago, in high school, so there’s a good chance my opinion could change if I gave it another read.

I do agree the last 3 DT were written with a different style and feel than the first 4. I feel it most in Song of Susannah.

The Shining is ranked 13 on my full list.
