I’m just your average Canadian wolf. I’m a siren enthusiast and railfan as my main hobbies. I run the Civil Defense Sirens Wiki, and am working on restoring a few vintage sirens (such as a FS&S Model L and a rare Sterling Siren MOD. F) as well as a 1970s Safetran mechanical crossing bell.

For me it was a game that used to be on Adult Swim’s website, it was a top-down open world pizza delivery game in the style of the first two Grand Theft Auto games. You had to deliver pizzas to some funny characters without crashing and damaging them or running over too many pedestrians and getting caught by the police. With the exception of mimes and guys in hot dog costumes which gave you bonus points, of course. You’d get fired if you got caught by the police too many times or wreck too many pizzas.

Ended up finally finding it last year, it’s called Pizza City. It’s no longer on Adult Swim, but has thankfully been preserved on other sites like Kongregate and archive.org. Still holds up to this day as a fun game!

Thank Goodness You're Here - most absurd & hilarious game what did I just play? angielski

Ha! Just finished Thank Goodness You’re Here and it was the silliest, raunchiest, Northern Englishest?? thing I’ve played in a while. It was a bit of a fever dream. Like an Adult Swim cartoon with a joke a minute that you’re sort of “playing.” There’s not much in the way of controls and yet it was still incredibly...

That’s weirdly aggro for something it’d take you, like, 2 minutes at most to look up and find for yourself. You don’t need to rely on OP or anyone else to do it for you.

I’m sorry that you’re having such a bad day that you feel that you need to take it out on other people with such aggression. Perhaps you should go for a walk and clear your head.

That’s unhealthy. It makes you an unpleasant person to be around, and I hope you don’t treat people in person the way you’ve treated people here.

Yeah, that tracks. It’s a lot easier to be a dick on the internet than to be a dick to someone face to face where there might be actual consequences. I’m sure you’re a very pleasant and not at all toxic person. Definitely.

Is it really a scavenger hunt to open Steam, open the store, and search for the game? It takes minimal effort…

Day 509 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing angielski

Today’s game is Mario Kart Wii. I was originally going to setup Retro Rewind to give it a try (it was suggested to me by @Pueblo). I ended up having some issues though, namely that the mod was downloading at 0.50 mbps and would take an hour. I tried to install it manually but that didn’t really work out. So i decided to just...

I love MKWii and the mods for it, but god does the game have the worst item balancing in the series. The AIs are all constantly spamming POW Blocks and Blue Shells, which often get rid of your item right as a Red Shell or two are headed your way. There’s no invincibility buffer after getting hit by the Blue Shell either, so you get hit by the Reds too. The fact the Blue Shell instantly stops you in place while sending you flying upwards instead of sending you flying forwards like in other Mario Karts means it’s an even worse time loss. And it’s not uncommon to get hit by multiple in one lap.

Still my favourite Mario Kart, just very frustrating sometimes.

That’s… not specific in the slightest.

Same with unskippable cutscenes, especially before a difficult boss. It’s no fun to have to sit through it over and over if I’m struggling with said boss, or have to sit through a cutscene I’ve seen several times in previous playthroughs. This also applies to the game’s credits.

Renegade Platinum’s the way to go. There’s much more pokemon variety, the trainers are stronger and smarter, and there’s plenty of QOL fixes that make it feel more modern.

Speaking of gen 5, here’s a very strong sun team I’ve crafted up in Volt White 2 Redux: Sunflora with Drought for setting up sun, Sawsbuck as my Chlorophyll sweeper, Volcarona as a Quiver Dance sweeper, Victini as a Choice Scarf revenge killer and scout, Excadrill for rapid spinning Stealth Rocks away and tanking hits, and Emolga for paralyzing threats and abusing Volt Switch. Even the water gym didn’t stand a chance!

SMW was my very first video game, so that’s my choice. I’ve played both, but definitely prefer SMW because of its better controls, level design and graphics/sound. 3’s levels are a bit too short for my liking, which is probably due to being crammed on an NES cart.

Did anyone ever actually use those things? I never bothered in any of my playthroughs.

The ice zone (Southern Shelf) is only the very beginning of the game, you reach more interesting areas after defeating the first major boss, Captain Flynt.

Slop has existed as a word far longer than AI has. Uses for the word slop include:

  • Unappetizing watery food or soup.
  • Spilled or splashed liquid.
  • Waste food fed to farm animals such as pigs.
  • Soft mud or slosh.

Denuvo is hardly even a deterrent at this point. So many games are releasing unfinished and broken that pirating it right when it comes out would just be a waste of time. It’s only by the time Denuvo is removed later on that the game may be in a more playable state and thus worth bothering with.

Don’t feed the troll. They don’t actually care if it’s gambling or not.

Yup. “Please bend me over and fuck me for all I’m worth, corpo daddy!” type energy. Some people just can’t get enough of being exploited.

No doubt it’ll also have Denuvo, just to make the game run even worse too.

Wii. The driving always felt perfect in that game, the other games don’t control as well in my opinion. 8 Deluxe feels like a letdown with its lack of unlockable characters and karts which I felt was one of the most fun parts about Wii.

And your gun sways all over the place. Worse in 3, your character just moves their neck forward instead of using the sights when aiming. That just magically makes the bullets spread less despite not actually aiming… thank fuck for Tale of Two Wastelands.

It’s basically the same way Tale of Two Wastelands works when combining Fallout 3 and New Vegas.

This is why so many indie games are awesome. The graphics don’t need to be great when the soundtracks and gameplay more than make up for it. Those are what actually matter. I have most of Undertale’s OST committed to memory at this point lol

Borderlands 1 and 2 still look great in comparison to a lot of games that came out around the same time. The stylized cel-shaded textures help hide the lower-poly environments and really make the world stand out. Most games at the time were trying to go for a “realistic” look that just resulted in bland brown and gray environments that look terrible.

On Firefox there is also the BlockTube extension that lets you block videos or channels entirely. You’ll never see them again.

Bob-ombs, multiple variants of Shy Guys, Birdo, and Pokeys all originated in DDP. All of those besides Birdo have been mainstay enemies ever since.

Bob-Ombs and Pokeys as well.

I’ll second the recommendation for Tale of Two Wastelands. I think having the New Vegas engine makes Fallout 3 so much more playable. You can actually use the iron sights, there’s ammo types, etc. I play a heavily modded TTW and I’m having a blast blowing Swampfolk’s heads off with the Y86 gauss rifle.

It’s a private company. They don’t have shareholders to report to, so they’re not remotely as scummy. Fuck the rich, but choose your battles and go after the ones who are really the problem.

You cannot show anybody how to be gay. You are either born gay, or you aren’t. Sexuality is not a choice. You need to better educate yourself.
