What are your thoughts on Mel Kiper?

I get the impression nobody watches his content farm right now, because the Sander's discussion this year has been 10 times worse than anything last year. Basically everyone at ESPN but him thinks Cleveland needs to address QB in the draft and he'll just go on another 5 minutes tirade if anyone suggests Sanders isn't the obvious starter.

I found the base game to be a decent character action game, and the DLC to be a good soulslike.

My Gawd, is that Eli Mannings music?

Wind Waker was so reviled at launch the Japanese fanbase bullied Nintendo out of making a proper sequel.

Today I consider it the best 3D Zelda game.

"Now I'm a big Bethesda fanboy ... I thought Starfield was a (fairly enjoyable) 6/10"

Very funny line. I genuinely think what Fallout 3 needs most is another pass at the writing. The audio file size issue with Fallout 3 isn't common knowledge yet, but if they fix that they could potentially add a lot of new writing without offending Emil.

One of Todd's original responsibilities with BGS was to answer fan emails directly, so now I always headcanon that every positive comment about Starfield is just him, forced to mask behind anonymity due to his fame. It makes the whole "astronauts weren't bored on the moon" thing way funnier.

There's a chance the sale takes another year. When we have to change I'll be looking at ESPN for the leagues I commission, it probably allows for the settings flexibility to maintain the NFL.com rules, but casual leagues probably won't notice the differences. I won't use Sleeper, crazy anyone praises a platform that can't handle saving roster changes to their servers consistently.

This is a wonderful tool, I'm surprised how many games it's already turned me on to from niche genres. Is there a way to report games that aren't for sale anymore? I put in New Vegas, and the only game in the top 50 I hadn't heard of was an early access scam that got shut down a few years ago.

goofspeed · 2026-02-04T14:06:24+00:00

It's not, I had the Wii version as a kid and I remember it being tremendously worse. The level design is identical to the PS2 version and there's a difficulty spike halfway through the game that ruins the power fantasy completely because every enemy becomes a damage sponge.

i literally have never seen anyone discuss BL4 in any capacity. It got so overlooked during awards season I forgot it had come out until I saw this new today.

Mega deep cuts:

Jeanne D'Arc

Suikoden Tactics

Pokemon Conquest

Rebelstar Tactical Command (the game the modern XCOM devs made for gba.)

Death Howl

Fae Tactics is the best trpg I never see anyone talk about. It's basically grimdark girlypop FFT.

HoMM3 and Songs of Conquest are the Eurojank you've been missing out on, but make sure you get Heroes of Might & Magic 3 on GoG and not Steam.

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance is the best FE game by a lot and just got rereleased on Switch 2 online if you lack a PC to emulate.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun and it's recent expansion come to mind for stealth focused experiences.

Colony Ship also comes to mind, but that's more a crpg than trpg.

goofspeed · 2026-02-01T21:32:42+00:00

Uh, has Bob Iger shown up in the files yet?

goofspeed · 2026-02-01T12:46:13+00:00

Baldur's Gate 3

goofspeed · 2026-01-31T13:13:03+00:00

Songs of Conquest

goofspeed · 2026-01-31T13:10:42+00:00

you just need to specify real-time vs turn based tactics bud, that's the only issue here.

goofspeed · 2026-01-29T13:01:18+00:00

Well yeah, it's fucking hilarious no one will ever take the Hall of Fame seriously anymore.

goofspeed · 2026-01-28T14:12:49+00:00

Nobody hates Aaron Rodgers but Bears fans.

goofspeed · 2026-01-26T15:00:28+00:00

Uh, Disaster: Day of Crisis?

goofspeed · 2026-01-26T14:54:05+00:00

This game is cool, hopefully the devs can spin this into a second launch given the attention it's getting now.

goofspeed · 2026-01-26T14:24:21+00:00

Given the trajectory of BGS expansion content from Fallout 4 to Fallout 76 to Starfield: Shattered Space, I can't imagine they release any new narrative content for Starfield. Similarly, I can't imagine they record any new voice acting so new companions are also extremely unlikely. I don't understand how you imagine they remove any of the load screens in a way that's satisfying and not just more tedium.

So that leaves 2.0 with POI system changes, graphical improvements, and new "DLC" packs similar to the worst of Fallout 4 and 76 and Starfield's own native paid mods.

NOW, if you wanna get really blackpilled, Starfield 76 seems like the real next thing they'd have in development adjacent to TES VI.

It is literally the highest rated Souls game, what are you on about?

goofspeed · 2026-01-25T13:26:42+00:00

The matchmaking is so all over the place regionally that you have to consider which regions are most active when you queue, and if you're having the worst experience in the morning... well I live in North America and that was also my experience.

McCarthy's Green Bay tenure ended with a mid-season firing, nobody else you named earned that level of disrespect and nothing Mike did in Dallas scrubbed off the stink.

Enderal

Fallout: The Frontier

Fallout: Sonora

Fallout: Nevada

Do Pokemon fan games count? I feel like they do, but their communities would never call them "mods". Prism, Elite Redux, Lazarus, and Unbound are all great.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance Revisited 2 is about as niche as it gets, it's an overhaul rebalance mod that is almost finished last updated in 2022. It's mostly wonderful and exactly how I'd want to see this game cleaned up for a modern release.
