Michael Hickman @phoenixultima.bsky.social · 06/03/2026On one hand, I agree that it's kind of weird to compare ingame player counts between a multiplayer shooter VS a single player roguelike. OTOH, You're asking gamers not to get excited about arbitrary numbers going up and/or down. Good luck with that. 000 0

Michael Hickman @phoenixultima.bsky.social · 11/11/2025That said, I *also* hate it when a game doesn't let you hit max level until literally right before the final boss (NWN2 is guilty of this), so... I'm not sure what the fix is, here. 010 0
Michael Hickman @phoenixultima.bsky.social · 11/11/2025I had the same problem with BG3. You hit the max level of 12 not too long after you get to the main city, and then you still have a bajillion quests to go through. Levelling up and choosing how to become more powerful is like half the fun of these games, and it stops with like 40% of the game left. 240 0

Michael Hickman @phoenixultima.bsky.social · 12/10/2025I once saw an ad for a T-1000 action figure, and it could split open to reveal rocket launchers. Like, one of the main constraints on the T-1000 is that it can only make simple tools like knives and such, and can't just grow guns and bombs. Yet this one can just sprout rocket launchers?! 100 0
Michael Hickman @phoenixultima.bsky.social · 11/10/2025Wild how they showed bright, colorful, fluidly animated games like SMW and Sonic, then showed clunky digitized actors and mid-90s ass CGI and expected everyone to be like "wow, now THAT'S the future of gaming! And totally worth 700$!" 010 0
