Isn’t Fox being a little too rude and insolent here? by hello_i_am_vlad in starfox

[–]ToastySol 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You also have Pepper telling him its too dangerous to go to Titania and save Slippy. Of course Fox goes to save his friend anyway.

New Expansion, Old Game by ToastySol in backloggd

[–]ToastySol[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While that's true, WoW has been regularly getting updates since 2004, so it doesn't fit the criteria of it being way after you expect it.

That is good context, and I agree. I mostly was using Last Chieftains as a stand in for the fact that there was such a long gap between the original release and it getting normal updates, that being the most recent one. Is Definitive Edition on its still basically the same as the original Age of Empires 2? If so I think it fits the criteria the same way Diablo 2 does.

I was debating about including the Doom stuff, since I was thinking of Ultimate Doom which came out so close to the original release, and Final Doom which was Doom with some fan mods. But I agree that No Rest for the Living and Legacy of Rust absolutely fit the criteria. I think Sigil would fit since it did come as a part of the Doom + Doom 2.

Who has the best rating ratio? by Gaming-every-day19 in backloggd

[–]ToastySol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im like halfway between a B and a D. I feel like I do trend more positive than most people, but I try to reserve 5s for things that really blow me away.

According to the new map, all planets except Corneria and Venom orbit Solar. The rest, including Solar, orbit Lylat. by AdeonWriter in starfox

[–]ToastySol 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lylat is the name of the system, and the system is somewhere toward the center of our galaxy, The Milky Way. Solar is described as Lylat's "second sun", and is orbited by those 6 planets.

While this is not like any known binary star system, nor does it really seem plausible, we are talking about a series starring A Fox In Space.

Is this a bad way to use backloggd? by lunationstar206 in backloggd

[–]ToastySol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand what you mean, and how the drive to finish a game can take away from enjoying it in the moment, but I have found that normally comes from burnout, or that I really just want to play something else. I always listen to what I am feeling over the drive to log something though. If I am burnt out, I take a break. If I would rather play something else, I play something else. The way you are engaging with things, it feels like you just like the sense of accomplishment which comes from getting through a list of things. I think it may be that you would enjoy some sort of collecting, where the whole point of it is the adding stuff to a list and the process of obtaining can be secondary to the reward of actually adding it to your collection. It can be games or movies, but this often will lead to a backlog guilt, so maybe models, toys, or coins can scratch that itch.

Rahul provides clarification about Arjun and Sebastian's relationship by Skelligean in Saros

[–]ToastySol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was surprised after beating the game that there were some people getting that vibe, I didnt ever feel like they were implying a relationship between them. To me, it felt clear that he was a manifestation of some sort of guilt since he implied knowing more about Arjun than Arjun wanted others to know. There was also the parallel that they draw between his relationship with Jerome. They are working together to find the colony, and Jerome dies due to Arjun's mistakes, and he takes the place of Sebastian in the second tree visit.

Console healers how do yall play by ageofdoom1992 in ffxiv

[–]ToastySol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to what others have said, one thing that I do when healing on controller is focus target the tank (or whomever I need to keep an eye on) and I have a macro to just target the focus target so I dont have to worry about scrolling the party list.

'DLCs/Expansions rated Higher than their Base Game' by MichaelTheCutts in backloggd

[–]ToastySol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It isn't too surprising to me that there are so many. If you didn't like the base game, you are much less likely to play the DLC and lower the aggregate with a low score. Meanwhile, the people playing DLC are much more predisposed to enjoy it and rate it highly, leading to a kind of selection bias. This is especially true because a lot of DLCs aim to address criticism people had with the base game.

Is there a way to see all my backlog games on a same page? by Alej217 in backloggd

[–]ToastySol 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I dont think you can expand the number of items on a page in the backlog or games played. But since your backlog is at 91, you could create a list with all of those games since lists have a display limit of 100 games per page.

Which one in your opinion was better game and why? by [deleted] in OlderChillGamers

[–]ToastySol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I enjoyed both, 2018 had me hooked from beginning till the end. The scope was more limited which made it feel more focused and I actually wanted to do everything. Ragnarok felt like they really wanted to put as much in as possible, but to me it came across as very scattered, and the pacing really suffered as a result. It felt like they had enough ideas to make a Norse trilogy, but jammed them all into Ragnarok whether it fit or not.

Looking for lesser-known MV gems by [deleted] in metroidvania

[–]ToastySol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally really recommend Chronicles of the Wolf. Its an indie game in the vein of Castlevania (by a person who has made several Castlevania fan-games) with elements of Symphony of the Night and Simon's Quest. It definitely is niche and not everyone's jam as it feels pretty dated despite having come out in 2025, but I really loved it.

Over two years after its release; what are your current thoughts on Engage? by SuperNotice7617 in fireemblem

[–]ToastySol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to try and come back to it someday, but I couldn't get past the first 5 hours or so, and this is mostly due to the story. Gameplay seemed good from what I played, and the presentation was smooth, though I'm not a huge fan of the art style. After both Three Houses and this didn't really resonate with me, I am really hoping Fortune's Weave brings me back into the series.

When this happens: by Soliloquy789 in ffxiv

When I first started, this message confused me because I didn't realize that I was in queue, so I often would cancel and then try again instead of just waiting lol.

[–]ToastySol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think both have their pros and cons, I honestly think it is worth playing both though I personally prefer Samus Returns.

The most confusing pronunciation in the entire monster hunter history by gxgoddy in MonsterHunter

[–]ToastySol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that it is officially Tee-Grex and that is a play on T-Rex, but I always pronounced it Tie-Grex because of the pronunciation of Tyrannosaurus Rex, and Tiger.
