  • “Let’s hope Bloodborne never reaches the dirty sand shores of PC as well,” reads one bright response to the rumor on Icon-Era. “Please no Bloodborne or Astro Bot [on PC],” wrote another.

    You know what’ll get us more games like Bloodborne? Giving an entirely new market of people a chance to show that there’s money to be made there. Elden Ring exploded in popularity, it was one of the best selling games of all time, everybody everywhere was talking about it and it got a lot of people into Fromsoft games. You don’t think some of that popularity will carry over to the Bloodborne rerelease fans (and even non-fans) have been begging for for years?





  • I’ve only played the Switch games in recent memory, and they’re all pretty hard to lose. I did play older games at release, but stopped at White. I guess I could say that was the hardest because I hated it so much that it put me off the series altogether for a decade.

    The only battles I lost in Scarlet were the electric gym, which I went to first when I assumed the game would scale based on badge count and I was using an all-bird team, and the first battle in Blueberry which I tried to win with only a Minccino & Hoppip (level 100 and fully EV trained and everything, but still weak as hell).

    Sword and Shield were both also dead easy, and apart from the enormous spike at the end of Shining Pearl that was too - that was more tedious than difficult though. Having a 30-level difference between the highest wild encounters and the E4 remakes didn’t make it harder, it just meant I had to waste a month getting ready. The rematches themselves were satisfying enough.

    If you’re asking because you want to get one for a child or something, I’d probably go with Sword.








  • I had a computer with Civ, Exterminator and Dyna Blaster before I could read. I was terrible at all of them, but it didn’t stop me. Through trial and error I figured out how to train units so I’d spam basic soldiers and fight barbarians until another civilisation inevitably found & destroyed me.


  • Vivek fucks up recently so the racism against Indians surges, and now this person finally can’t ignore it any more. “Oh wow they don’t just hate Mexicans, Muslims, Haitians, illegal immigrants, and so on, they hate people like ME too?” And she’s so deeply affected that she… doesn’t say anything about it to her Trump voting family members for risk of upsetting them. You’re a day late and a dollar short, lady. Or a decade late, a decade full of telling people who were warning you the whole time that they’re wrong.

    Do we just have to wait for the infighting to swallow up all of the token “good ones” one by one then try to pick up the pieces afterwards?
