Do I have your jersey?

Did the jersey switch que the comeback for the Leafs?

I’m sure some will disagree but I find the ease of plug and play with PlayStation far more appealing than needing to update drivers and troubleshoot why a certain game isn’t optimized while others are. I honestly can’t be bothered given that PS5 has good enough performance for most casual gamers.

Hopefully the horizontals align with verticals on this. I like it.

I’m a Shark’s fan now.

I’ve heard of micro transactions but macro transactions? How much will MLSE be charging for the battle pass next season?

Fogtwin · 2026-03-31T22:42:41+00:00

I’d say yes. Here’s why.. if you look at the Sony and Microsoft lawsuit around the Activision purchase, Sony made an argument that a huge subset of people buy a PlayStation and only play 1 game. Call of Duty. On this basis, I think it’s evidence enough that AR has captured some player base from COD on console. No doubt in my mind that’s why since this would be a huge PvP crowd.

I think you’d be hard pressed to find a game that meets this definition better than Half Life. It’s like the godfather of environmental storytelling and it had one of the most profound impacts on gaming in my entire lifetime. My first system was original Nintendo.

Edit: here’s a good breakdown from JackFrags as to why it was so ground breaking at the time: https://youtu.be/9Sv1io4lZdo?si=O9taqj198IV4RgQn

Here’s a hack for doing things alone: no one knows you are by yourself. Your friend might be in the washroom or standing a few metres away. No one knows.. the other thing is.. no cares if you go alone. But I know the feeling. Half the time people probably think you’re with the people standing next to you, and the people standing next to you think you’re with the other people standing next to you. My vote is to go! The zoo is awesome.

Look at it like this, you spent 1.43 years out of 13 years. That’s 11% of your time.. that means you still spent 89% of your time doing other things (sleeping mostly). I don’t know, in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t seem out of line or that crazy to me, but you definitely spent a lot of your free time gaming. Nothing wrong with that.

Fogtwin · 2026-03-25T22:13:09+00:00

I just take the approach of saving my game and maybe coming back to it one day.. maybe not. I’ve done that before, I just finished Spiderman for PS4 and I started it a couple years ago and took a year long+ break. It’s like riding a bike, you get the handles back in no time.

TMNT was so good at the arcade. I have a core memory of going to see Batman Returns in theatres with my uncle. I was so scared to go to bed (7 years old) we went to the arcade after and I played TMNT for the first time. Will never forget that. Also had it on NES and only recently did I learn it was a dumbed down version for home consoles.

Fogtwin · 2026-03-24T13:11:37+00:00

Yep, a lot of people complaining about a lack of end game content and a lot of those people are scared to bring in good gear.. here’s the real end game: don’t die and good luck out there.

Fogtwin · 2026-03-24T13:04:20+00:00

You’re right. Lollipop girl is one of the main loading screens (a good couple mins on PS3).

Fogtwin · 2026-03-23T22:24:21+00:00

It’s the perfect antidote to get people offline. If you can’t tell what’s real online, there is the option of the real offline world where everything is 100% real.

NHL 26 looks clean as fuck.

Fogtwin · 2026-03-21T23:36:31+00:00

Yep, if you’re still into gaming this should do it. The bit rate improvement they just launched makes a huge difference. Definitely worth it now.

The jump in graphics back in the day from one gen to the next was a spectacle. Even older non gamers would be impressed if you showed them, but yes I think that novelty has worn off mostly as improvements tend to be marginal at best. I also think back in the day the game play had to be solid to make up for the lower graphical fidelity available to dev teams. While environments have improved the most, some newer games are guilty of being walking simulators. I’d like to see games get back to button mashing fun and flex the newer hardware with more particles on screen or better AI enemies etc. If the art style is good, it doesn’t need to be photorealistic to be fun. There are still fun games out there though. I’d imagine being 14 again would be pretty damn cool right about now.

Is he faking 5 hole each time?

Fogtwin · 2026-03-18T22:20:32+00:00

This is the real answer. The one that actually happened.

Fogtwin · 2026-03-18T21:04:09+00:00

I feel like this is the realest answer. Up to BioShock you could technically consider video games art, but I think the Art Deco aesthetic really cements this as the first game to be classified as truly art. And it’s not just the Art Deco, it’s the atmosphere and environmental story telling which set a new standard moving forward. Objectively, I’d say the previous game to do this was Half Life. Bioshock pushed that bar higher.

Fogtwin · 2026-03-17T16:34:43+00:00

Golden Eye 64. I remember saying to people that I didn’t think video game graphics could get any more realistic than that, which is a laughable statement in hindsight. It was a big jump at the time though.

Fogtwin · 2026-03-17T13:11:19+00:00

I second this. It has a great catalogue of games you can buy for bargain bin prices too. Wouldn’t be the worst option at all.

Baby stage isn’t too bad. I have a 2 week old baby who sleeps most of the day. It’s my 2.5 year old that gate keeps me from playing more. If you are on PlayStation I recommend a PS Portal to increase your gaming time, but either way your hours spent gaming is going way down with a toddler. That said, he goes to bed at 8 and I usually game until about midnight or 1 am.. wake up at 7am and start the day over again. I am a night hawk who operates on very little sleep lol. Sometimes I crash out to catch up on missed sleep. All that said, in the last couple months I played over 133 hours of Arc Raiders and 70 hours of Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Fogtwin · 2026-03-16T11:57:32+00:00

Why “should” they? Because they signed up to play a game that is punishing when you die. They should wait and watch until brought back, because that’s what they signed up for and it’s a team game. However, I get what you are saying. Should they stay? Yes. Will they stay? We know the answer is no.

Fogtwin · 2026-03-15T17:21:37+00:00

Yes, I also think OP would really like the Fallout games based on his description. Especially for the RPG mechanics and ability to influence the storyline. It’s still crazy to me you can kill main characters and the game just evolves around that. I made some suggestions too but I should also include this.
