  • I’m gonna be honest, this is a stretch. I watched the clip. Whatever he was about to say definitely sounds like it was starting with an M, not an N. His lips are in a closed shape at that moment, which you’d see with an M sound and not an N. With the context of what he’s saying, it really sounds like he was trying to say “migrant” and “immigrant” at the same time.

    Don’t get me wrong, this dude’s a dipshit for dozens of other reasons. But there’s nothing here this time. This really doesn’t seem to be worth any amount of energy.



  • An absolute waste of time, money, and sanity. Unusable UI, no soundtrack to speak of, doesn’t support gyro aiming, and will be a major factor in your upcoming divorce. There’s almost no replay value; you get one, single permadeath run until next year’s expansion releases, and the consequences for a bad run can land you with criminal charges. There are many game-breaking exploits that can only be utilized by the most expensive of gaming PCs, so poor players will still have to follow all of the rules. Despite being sold as “free-to-play”, you are stopped every 10 minutes with an advertisement to buy the Audit Protection DLC. Avoid this game at all costs.

  • I’ve been getting back into playing The Finals lately. Kinda similar to Splitgate, in that the mechanics are easy to understand and mastering them will yield you a lot of fun and victory. The movement is very snappy, there’s a lot of variety in how you can play, and matches are relatively quick.

    It’s an objective-based shooter, so you won’t win just by getting kills; you have to complete a specific goal before your enemies to actually win. So it’s a bit like Overwatch or TF2 in that regard (kinda dated references, I know) in terms of goals and a player’s abilities. And the gunplay feels very much like Battlefield, which would make sense because ex-DICE devs worked on this game, I believe. It’s also got crossplay.

    It’s got a seasonal/live service model for cosmetics. The battle pass and any other MTX are all only for cosmetics, though; unlocking weapons/abilities can only be done through gameplay, with no skip mechanics. So no weapons, abilities, maps, game modes, etc can be bought with real money at all. Figured I’d mention, since I know that’s a turnoff for a lot of people, but I’ve been enjoying it as a free player.




  • I miss the arcade-y feel of older racing games. Everything these days tries too hard to be a simulator, that they end up stripping the fun out of it. I want sparks to fly out of my tires when I drift even though they’re rubber and wouldn’t actually do that, I want wacky announcers with color commentary, I don’t want to shift gears.

    I want games like Ridge Racer and Need for Speed to make a comeback.
