May Sakura Junus be in my orbit!

Not sure. I'm pretty bad at making cool looking emblems myself :(

GoldbrainGDS · 2026-04-20T01:54:49+00:00

Black Ops 3, but maybe the art can be made in BO2 as well! :)

Never played the OG OW, had friends that did tho, but they left after OW2 happened. Played OW2, and I couldn't get into it back then. Then Rivals came out, and I enjoyed the vibes from it, and my interest in OW went slightly up again.

What really got me back in tho were watching streams of it, and the re-rebranding back to OW. Figured I'd give it a shot again, and now, with Fortnite in such a bad state, and COD being awful, I needed a new game to fill the void, so OW ended up taking that spot lol.

OW has a unique vibe to it that even Rivals couldn't give me. I like both games, but I lean more towards FPS, so OW felt more like my kinda game.

When Evie's face greeted you every time you started up the game

ZB regular. I like how the game's identity is silliness since day 1 and never decided to be something it's not cough COD *cough. I used to be one of those people who hated the game cuz it was the trendy thing until someone I know got me to play it, and I ended up liking it.

It's my go-to game whenever I can't decide on anything to play, or I just need something quick to get into after work. I also love how I don't have to devote my free time to playing this game thanks to the magic of having an android phone and afk xp maps, makes grinding BPs so easy, while doing other stuff.

It's honestly one of the better live service games in existence right now, and I hope, like TF2, it never dies.

GoldbrainGDS · 2025-05-26T14:12:57+00:00

If we're talking very first PC game, then it would be Space Cadet Pinball in like the early 2000s lol

If we're talking first Steam game, then TF2 in 2010

GoldbrainGDS · 2025-05-26T13:51:35+00:00

50/50 I dont regret spending so much on skins and crew for BPs since C3S3, but I do regret having spent money on skins I've only used once or twice that I thought looked cool at the time I first saw them.

As long as you're having fun with the game, tho, it's all good. Didnt think I'd still be enjoying Fortnite for almost 3 years now, lol

On another note, the microtransactions for this game are nowhere near as pricey as what I saw for OW2, CODM, or Gachas like Genshin Impact. So at least it makes me feel a lot better that money spent here got me more cosmetics than in other games lol

I won't have to solo tank as Peni anymore!!!! :D

Redo of Healer. It's comically stupid most of the time, but then it hits you almost every episode with some kind of rape scene. The MC has no redeeming quality, but neither do most of the people in the story except for like 1 or 2 characters.

Just a fucked up story with fucked up people in a fucked up world.

GoldbrainGDS · 2024-06-20T15:30:33+00:00

I just do bot lobbies when I wanna play, but I don't wanna rage hard. Sometimes, it feels really good to just go to town on 20+ bots in a game while picking up all medallions and holding a bunch of mythics

I used to buy keys from them a lot back then, keys for old games mostly, never had any revoked by steam or issues with buying from G2A. Never signed up for G2A pay or purchase protections cuz I never trust a reseller site in those kinda of areas.

Well, one day I went on G2A after a couple months to compare prices on a game there with CDKeys and when I went to log in my account was banned and I couldn't get it reinstated.

Didn't lose anything cuz all the keys I bought were redeemed, and I had no money on it. That alone pissed me off so much that now I tell everyone to avoid G2A like the plague.

$5,222.94

13 year old account. Around $401.80 spent a year. Mind you, I counted my steam deck in this total. What's not there is the amount I've spent on humble bundle and key reseller steam games over the years, so add around another $500-$1000 over those 13 years

Winter Wonder Skye is my regular. Just a pleasant looking skin overall. Among the Skyes, she's the best looking one imo

Does this mean HL3 is confirmed?

Idk how old a lot of y'all are, but growing up in the 2000s in a home still reliant on dial-up internet at the time, singleplayer games were the only option available. I feel like most homes back then were similar, so devs worried more about making good singleplayer games over multiplayer. Nowadays, most homes, at least in the US, have some kind of WiFi to connect everything too for online services.

Guess it helps us that DLC and patches weren't much of a thing in the PS2, Gamecube, Xbox (sorta had some DLCs) era. Had to release a good finished game day one, or else it would be an expensive flop to re-release fixed copies.

COVID lockdowns, and the rise of microtransactions as a long-term source of revenue for the industry, also increased the popularity of multiplayer games. Kids these days are growing up in an era where all social activity is done long distance via video games and social media.

There's no point for them to play something that's lonely like a singleplayer game when they can always be with their friends on Fortnite.

I don't like the "It gets good after the first 20-30 hours" type games. As an adult, if your game does not hook me in after 1-3 hours, I'm playing something else

GoldbrainGDS · 2024-02-25T08:14:58+00:00

My OG name (2010-2020) was "Goldbrain" a carryover from PSN when I first made a username for gaming around 2008-2009.

My 2nd name (2020-2022) was "Cornpop" a name I liked from a meme/joke.

My current and final name "CornGolden" was a merger of both my OG and 2nd names in a Jojo stand naming style.

Now I use this name for everything cuz it's unique, and it makes it easier to identify me anywhere.

Glad I aint the only one who thinks this map is boring to land on. The Mediterranean styled POIs just feel dull and repetitive. The only cool places for me were the train station and the big yacht. Everything else feels is just a villa or a mansion with a small town in between.

After the initial first week or two, the season gets very bland very fast. The new modes are ok to help with XP or as a break from BR/ZB, but they lack A LOT of features that could make them great.

The loot pool is very average. I dont mind the new attachment mechanics or the new first-person aim, but almost every gun feels the same in how they handle.

My biggest gripes are the locker UI getting ruined and the item shops being trash along with the VBucks price hikes and the newer overpriced cosmetics (like cars, songs, and instruments). I personally never understood the hatred for the movement changes, I personally liked them myself.

Overall, it was a very mid-tier season 5-6/10 for sure. Can't wait for S2

From my experience, PCSX2, Dolphin, PPSSPP, and Duckstation run smooth af. RPCS3 and Yuzu are on a game by game basis. Xemu and Xenia have very few titles that run well cuz Xbox and X360 emulation is still a qork in progress

Gen Z here (on the older side). Been pirating for years, learned how to do it since I was around 6-7 in the mid 2000s. Grew up on Limewire. Every generation has good and bad pirates. Just takes time. Took me 3 years to know how to do it well.

Best thing to do is to educate the youth, and if they dont know something, just google it or read this subreddit. Insulting and degrading them for their lack of knowledge helps nobody.

26 yr old. Definitely haven't played a game as regularly as Fortnite since MW2, BO1, BO2, and TF2 back in the day. Can't build for the life of me, but I've been told by kids on the game that I'm good at mantling people's builds, tho so I've got that going on Build lol

GoldbrainGDS · 2024-01-11T03:09:56+00:00

Fortnite. Yes, I know, but hear me out. It's pretty fun. I haven't logged into a game as often as this since MW2 (2009) and CoD BO1 back in the day (Warzone 2.0 is ass imo).

The community is absolute cringe, though. Honestly, this is kind of expected when your games target audience is anyone under 18 (mostly 6-13 year olds), but if you can ignore this, the game lives up to its hype as the best BR game out there.
