It’s my understanding (having not played it) that that is part of the story and half the dialog is dudes saying “sure this is pretty cool, but podracing was truly wild!!”

Digger sucks, but it sucks in a really interesting way, and also it sucks so hard that it kinda has to be seen to be believed

I'm about to take this way more seriously than necessary, but I have 2 guesses: 1. His tongue looks super weird, so he might have had some tests done to see why. 2. Like Toga, because his quirk relates to drinking blood he was drawn to taste it on a subconscious level.

The uniquely frustrating thing about discussing Digger is that "the thing" happens in the first 20 minutes, completely changes the game the movie is playing, and not knowing it's coming makes it a way more interesting swing.

Yeah, descending into the sinkhole was the moment I knew the game still had the juice.

I hate having to run around in these games, it feels so bad. Like, why aren’t they just a bunch of menus?!? It feels like I’m using Genshin Impact to navigate a spreadsheet

You clearly don’t remember the video where he got naked. Not saying you couldn’t beat him, just that he’s way buffer than you would think

Playing Resonant last night, I spent nearly a full hour getting stomped by a random mob of enemies (3 headbangers followed by 2 lazerguys) and it reminded me, oh yeah, THIS is Control too.

Henry @shankitystick.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
I think people who love Control (myself included) forget just how hard that game stomps you into the ground. Like, does anyone remember Incursions?!? 14 dudes would just spawn in, pulverize you with shotguns, then despawn forever. I didn't start winning those fights until I after beating the game

The fact that I keep trying to play ZCOM despite the fact that it is irredeemably broken on my base PS5 should tell you all you need to know. Great game, sure do wish I could play it for more than 20 minutes at a time before crashing to the home screen

If I am out for breakfast, and there is a breakfast burrito on the menu, then I order the breakfast burrito. It's just that simple

For what it's worth, I absolutely loved your Weird West video. I really got a lot out of seeing you trace the genre throughlines present in a bunch of different sources, and I hope it makes sense for you to do something else like it again in the future

I had never seen that post before. When I finally got to "The Prestige" of that headline my eyeball fell out of my skull

Does it have to be both? How do you react to AllBooks,NoArt vs AllArt,NoBooks? Also, do those people actually exist?

Henry @shankitystick.bsky.social · 05/05/2026
I suck at using it, but I really respect the pellet wall shotgun. Realizing you can basically turn it into a double barrel by feathering the alt fire was a game changer

tldr; moving the pointy wolves from stage 1 to stage 3 is why Housemarque should make a bajillion dollars

And adding the permanent progression gives the developers permission to keep ratcheting up the difficulty as the game continues. I haven't found myself breezing through new areas in Saros in the same way I did in Returnal, and I've been really enjoying that pace of play.
100
Henry @shankitystick.bsky.social · 04/05/2026
Power accrues over time in a Returnal run, so if you can make it through the first area it is pretty easy to snowball your way through the rest of the game (I'm pretty sure I bead the last boss of both runs on my first try without breaking a sweat) but that is such a massive IF!!!
100
Henry @shankitystick.bsky.social · 04/05/2026
Compared to the wolves, fungal creepers, jumping brutes, and 2 different flavors of hit-scan flyers, the starter enemies in Saros are so much less aggressive, their attack patterns are less complex, and they demand less of your focus so you can focus on learning the game rather than just surviving.
100
Henry @shankitystick.bsky.social · 04/05/2026
IMO the reason Saros is more approachable than Returnal has nothing to do with the permanent upgrades and everything to do with the fact that the first area of Saros is tough but fair, and the first area of Returnal is one of the most brutal, aggressive, unforgiving locations in all of gaming.

Double checked it, looks like I turned off trigger effects in the system settings, it’s fixed!!!

Henry @shankitystick.bsky.social · 02/05/2026
Ps, how do I turn on the adaptive triggers like from Returnal? I keep accidentally shooting my super instead of just alt-firing.

Beat the 2nd boss today by the skin of my teeth. It was like 5 straight minutes of white-knuckle shmovement and visual overstimulation. Took a biiiiiig satisfied sigh after that one.

Like, I appreciate that "cards I don't already have" are showing up in picks every 2 days, I just wish it wasn't the exact same card every time. Before this one I kept getting shown the 2 star Mega Char X

Seriously, they really want me to keep throwing wonder stamina at this specific card

I'm afraid you may have bought the wrong model, that is actually the character Yonka-Dingo from the hit video game Super Mario and the Giant Cat

Sounds interesting, can you post the link to the video? Also, as someone who jumped traight from PoE2 to Marathon, I can't wait see how Marathon players react to their first league wipe

Recommendation: Vivy Fluorite Eye's Song What if Hatsune Miku achieved consciousness and then spent 50% or her time pondering whether a goal you were programmed to desire can still give your life meaning, and the other 50% going on badass action missions to avert the Terminator doomsday future

Rubber edges! My current phone case does NOT have a rubberized or even a textured edge and it feels SOOOO BAD!!!!

Marathon map idea: 30 Rooks spawn in They get 5 minutes to run around and gear up Then like 3 squads with gear value of 5k+ spawn in The first exfil opens with 15 minutes left on the clock Call it "Bloodbath"

Just got to Masterball with a 60% win rate with this Armarouge deck list. It can have some really bad openings (having to front line Fuecoco when you’re going first is damn near an auto concede) but when it pops off it feels so good!!! #PokemonTCGPocket

I'm 3 years older than my girlfriend and this is truly our biggest generational divide. The second the "funny instagram reel" they're showing me goes over 20 seconds/like 4 camera shots I get soooooo antsy 😬

There is only one reason why that might be true, and that is because Saros and Control Resonant aren't coming out any time soon
