  • Mouse game is straight up incredible. Haven’t played a game that great in a long time. The mixture of GBC Zelda, Castlevania, and Soulslike is just so perfectly done. The story is pretty good. The music is still stuck in my head three days later. Love how the world is laid out. The moonshine chugging fish is the greatest enemy in existence.

    Plus Mina is such an adorable mascot. A+ game very highly recommended.

    Only complaints I have are with difficulty and that is solved with modifiers so I don’t factor it in to my enjoyment.




  • I find it wild that people are still this militant against wearing a seatbelt. Seatbelts are mildly uncomfortable due to how my body is built, but I’d rather not die in the unfortunate event of a serious collision. Then again I’m sure it’s the anti-intellectual crowd that refused to mask during the height of COVID. Maybe we should start telling them that airbags are woke.





  • In the second instance, Warner Bros. found itself in a similar situation. In 2017, as the publisher was preparing to launch Middle-earth: Shadow of War, the company was allegedly informed by Valve that pre-orders for the game had been removed from Steam. Valve’s reasoning was that the price was “significantly higher than what was available at other retailers for the same version of the game.” David Haddad, president of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, allegedly tried to resolve the situation directly with Valve so as not to face its ire.

    I am honestly struggling to see the issue with this one. Seems to me that Valve wanted the pre-order price to be lowered on their on platform to reflect how it was elsewhere. To me that looks pro-consumer, but perhaps I’m looking at it from the wrong angle? But both examples given just seem (to me) to be them trying to get the same price or product for their platform’s consumers as other platforms and not them driving up the price on other platforms. If someone has a better angle with which to view this, please share it.



  • I sold mine last year on eBay due to needing money for bills. I am in a much better spot financially and just picked one up again to replace it (from eBay for less than I sold my old one). I figured now was better than when the secondhand market finally self-corrected and used ones were going for the same price or more than MSRP.

    But gods did Valve beyond over correct on that price. Though I wonder if it’s as much of an overcorrection as people think. When it boils down to it, when it cones to hardware manufacturers, Valve is probably fairly low down the list of importance with RAM producers. They’re probably not getting this RAM for a good price. Also, they’ve probably been funneling their limited capacity into the likely DOA, ill-fated Steam Machines.
