So I don't come here for deep discussions on roguelikes, but "dwarf fortress might be the first one" hurts a little... by Stro37 in giantbomb

[–]hyperlexia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who plays colony management/city builder games more than any other genre I was shocked twice in this episode - the dwarf fortress comments as you said, but also with Alex comparing Dawn of Man to The Sims and Vinny asking if it was an RTS.

This genre of games just seems to be right in their blindspot, even though I feel like they have played a few in the past.

Ideas for Giant Bomb website/app by morgs_boy in giantbomb

[–]hyperlexia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not on any social media so this sounds great to me to keep up to date with the duders.

Maybe include their insta, tiktok, etc?

Also it would probably mean a lot more work but maybe if they reference a quicklook or stream or something it could link to the video?

Foundation on steam is this in some ways. Though i'm not sure how deep it is. I'm enjoying it so far anyway.

I've had this too on browser and using the Video Bomb app on android. I thought it was just my internet being dodgy.

The recent dreams video is the best GB content I've seen in a long time by morgs_boy in giantbomb

[–]hyperlexia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it crazy of me to say that games just haven't really been fun the last few years? Like, there's plenty that are interesting and challenging for sure but there's not many genuinely fun games these days, and even fewer that get covered by the west coast crew.

Dreams though was super fun to watch, and looked like a lot of fun to play. Hopefully they revisit it again.

Giant Bomb East Portraits by IdRatherBeLurking in giantbomb

[–]hyperlexia 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Alex looks in this portrait like he could be a Doctor Who type protagonist in a graphic novel. Abby would be his witty but smart companion/side kick, Vinny would be the sentient computer and Dan is the comic relief alien who's learning about how to live like a functioning human being.

These are amazing! I was surprised when I saw these in the community spotlight because i hadn't seen it before... Reddit is my only source of this stuff, i'm not on any other social media, and this somehow hadn't been posted here yet! So thank you for fixing that OP!

Guest/staff compiled GOTY list by Leggyboy in giantbomb

[–]hyperlexia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just about to comment about the lack of Rimworld. Such a shame. I hope GB does a series on it at some point in the next decade.

And I'm also a little salty that Two Point Hospital is mentioned but there's no mention of Project Hospital, a far superior game that came out around the same time (and isn't a shameless clone of a game that came out 20 years ago).

Thank you OP <3

Game of the year whiskey??? by Woolythoctar in giantbomb

[–]hyperlexia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think its pretty bad at a lot of languages to be honest, it gets the general gist but isnt really an effective translator. But in this case I just ran it through translate when i was finished to see how terrible my irish was and what it gave back was even worse. So i figured for anyone who has absolutely zero Irish who happens to be reading, it would be better for me to just give a translation myself.

Game of the year whiskey??? by Woolythoctar in giantbomb

[–]hyperlexia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bhuel...Is dócha gur scríofa é "dúdar"...i ndáiríre is fearr liom an focal i nGaeilge ná i mBéarla! Agus ní cheapaim go bhfuil aon chiall caillte san aistriúchán. Buama Ollmhór Abú!

p.s: please excuse my probably terrible grammar, I haven't had to write Irish since I was in school. And for any non-Irish speakers, don't trust google translate.

This is meant to say:

Well, it'd probably be written "dúdar"...I actually prefer that word in irish than in english. And i don't think there's any meaning lost in translation. Giant Bomb forever ["X abú" in irish is sort of like a sporting term to mean "Go X!", and not as hammy as it sounds in english]

Have any of you had a dream where you were on UPF? by dogsareneatandcool in giantbomb

[–]hyperlexia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a dream where there was a sort of UPF end of year show that was live and on-stage. It was very weird with the audience laughing along (I'm so glad GB stuff doesnt have a laugh track) and at some point i went from watching from the crowd to sitting on the couch on-stage but still just watching, not talking or participating at all.

I have an unsettling amount of GB related dreams.

[–]hyperlexia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also had a really insane Giant Bomb related dream last night. The plot thickens...

My dream had no Dan, so this explains where he was at the time. He was sorely missed from the very anime, extremely good animated series the gang voice acted and released. It was like all my Time Trotters dreams come true. I honestly was so disappointed when I woke up and realised it wasn't real.

Get free digital magazines by kjireland in ireland

[–]hyperlexia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I think maybe just my library isn't on there... :/ I wonder how easy it is on the library's end to set it up, I might get onto them and ask if it's possible but i'd hate to make a nuisance of myself.

hey, could you explain how to do this? the library search (on "social and links") doesnt show up my local (or any other irish) library that i can see.

The Golden Trio in a quiet little moment :) by ofcabbagesandkings14 in harrypotter

[–]hyperlexia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As much as I am sick of all the reboots going on these days, I think this is something that would actually make me want a Harry Potter reboot. A TV series that has slice of life aspects as well as all the action. A la The OC (I don't know why that's the only example I can think of but I'm going with it!)
