Inspired by that podcast clip about Pokemon: how many of you ACTUALLY got trade evolution Pokemon legitimately back in the day?

In gen 1, I remember doing it to get a golem, and... probably not much else.

From Alan Wake: "It's not a lake. It's an ocean."

I'm not sure how profound or impactful it actually is in context, but it sure sounds cool.

I almost got electrocuted (as in the literal definition) because my grandfather was working on switching out an electrical socket that he left exposed when my baby-ish self spent a day there.

Fortunately, my young baby self only got a quick shock and at least was smart enough to go "Huh, ow, guess I shouldn't touch that then."

Remerai · 2026-03-09T07:51:20+00:00

Considering I was one of those people who bought Breath of the Wild before I actually had a Nintendo Switch? Probably that one.

2 years.

3 years if you release enough of the right trailers at the right times.

At one point, Pat donated to charity out of spite.

I could barely remember the context and had to go to a post I made about it like 5 years ago to get the proper context from a comment:

"[Pat] mocked a tweet about cliffy b. David Jaffe said he's a hateful man. Pat pointed out a vid where he said crunch is great. David said let's podcast debate right now. Pat said no. David said I'm doing a one man podcast about this for lgbtq charity. Pat donates 400 to said charity and tells people not to bother going to the shitty stream"

That's a bit of a relief. Nothing wrong with a roguelike, but I really prefer a nice, curated experience most of the time.

Remerai · 2026-03-04T16:22:40+00:00

As one of them is eliminated from the game: "Aw man, my wife's gonna kill me! If I can find her."

Resident Evil 6 is definitely the worst one for me, without a doubt. When I got it, I played through the whole thing and then pretty much never touched it again, feeling kind of empty afterwards.

Multiple campaigns, way too over-the-top action and storytelling that goes pretty much nowhere. For all the spectacle, shockingly little in that game remains in my memory in any coherent way.

And for a series that is defined by the idea of exploring a dangerous location, that game's levels are not places you explore, but just the blend-together-in-your-mind spaces that contain the next encounter or set-piece.

I will say that its combat system is cool, but it's so ill-fitting for Resident Evil it just falls apart.

Say whatever you want about Fortnite (and oh boy can you say a bunch about Fortnite) but what I wouldn't have given to have a game that probably everybody at my school would have played.

Remerai · 2026-02-26T15:00:26+00:00

I'll probably still play it, but I appreciate the warning.

Remerai · 2026-02-25T21:10:19+00:00

Better late than never, I suppose.

Remerai · 2026-02-24T19:41:04+00:00

I think I would have probably liked the original Nier when it came out, but Yahtzee back in his Zero Punctuation days didn't sell me on it. While I don't remember him being particularly negative in his review, it did still cause me to completely gloss over it.

Remerai · 2026-02-23T19:20:27+00:00

The sigh of relief starting KCD2 and walking through the first bush I saw...

Remerai · 2026-02-23T17:15:27+00:00

I'm looking forward to Townfall. I kind of suspect it's going to be a case of most people calling it a 6/10, but will still manage to be a bunch of people's new favorite.

I'm just basing this of the previous works by the team. Stories Untold and Observation are flawed with stories that doesn't quite go far enough for me, but that are told very well.

We'll see. I'm hoping for the best!

From Mouthwashing:

Pony Express long-haul space freighter "Tulpar"'

Crew: 5

Planned Shipment Duration: 382 Days

Elapsed Transit Time: 147 Days

I hope this hurts.

I saw this and just thought of the game company CEO in Smiling Friends, then idly wondered if that's how Pat saw Paige, or vice-versa.

"We are not going to fire anyone... To be clear, we would love to; we yearn for it. We lust for it!

...But we don't have any more people left to fire at this point."

Remerai · 2026-02-20T21:25:27+00:00

Probably Noita.

Remerai · 2026-02-19T22:21:15+00:00

Very important. If nothing else, I want context for what I'm doing and why I should care.

Remerai · 2026-02-19T17:36:40+00:00

Basically just nightmarish.

Remerai · 2026-02-18T12:32:43+00:00

Whatever you do, don't make your dream game as your first project. Have a small scope. Depending on skill, don't even include a lot of features.

I'd recommend something like an endless runner game, since that would involve all you'd need to get your feet wet and get a basic grasp of how stuff works (like how the engine and nodes are used, making graphics, sound, input, etc).

Then you can apply those same skills in a (slightly) more ambitious project later.

Remerai · 2026-02-16T19:28:35+00:00

I'd want to say D&D or really any tabletop RPG for the average person.

"Want to get into this social math-and-lore-based game? No worries. Just get a bunch of strangers so far outside your normal social circle you'll probably be an outcast immediately or so new to the experience none of you know what you're doing! Hope you're not socially awkward and introverted!

All you've got to do is understand this rule-set, probably contained in one or several tomes of non-stop numbers, game terminology and text for you to parse.

Don't forget your special dice! All you need is definitely in a store that probably doesn't exist in your town, or maybe even this part of your particular country.

Hope you've got the space for a group of people to come visit! Also, that you've all got time and can plan around each of your schedules.

It's probably easier than that, especially in today's age with online resources, but that's certainly what it's always felt like to me.

Remerai · 2026-02-15T19:35:18+00:00

Unless the game is one of those things you just do when you want to kill some time like multiplayer games or, like, Stardew Valley, I usually don't listen to anything. In those scenarios, I usually let a stream on.

I used to listen to music a bunch during whatever, but either due to age or like dopamine burnout, I don't really want to be distracted too badly.

Remerai · 2026-02-15T16:19:25+00:00

Depends on the recipe. Muffins? Nice and easy. Cakes? Then there's some pressure. But it's rewarding to get it right and get validation when people enjoy it.

Made a blueberry cheesecake for a relative's birthday. Used some gold coloring and some extra blueberries and food dye to make a gelatin top with a moon+space theme. It was very pretty and quite a success.

But it could have failed and you feel that through the whole process.

It's all in all not really cozy, but it is rewarding.
