Should Games Reward Players for Helping Moderate Toxic Behavior?
killamch89 and one other reacted to The Blackangel for a topic
This kind of thing is playing with fire but not having a fire extinguisher. People who start reporting anyone they didn’t like or who did something they themselves wanted. There is no way this could possibly work, without in turn causing more problems than before.2 points -
Do You Prefer to Get Up Early or Stay Up Late?
killamch89 and one other reacted to The Blackangel for a topic
I wing it. If I’m up early, I’m up. If I’m up late, I’m up late. It bounces around wildly for me.2 points -
Which of your pets do you prefer to spend time with?
killamch89 reacted to charlesfoote for a topic
I love all my pets! But if I had to choose, I’d say I prefer spending time with my dog. He’s always up for a walk or a game and responds well with my energy.1 point -
Should Games Reward Players for Helping Moderate Toxic Behavior?
killamch89 reacted to Shagger for a topic
No. Any such system would be too open to abuse.1 point -
think there needs to be a distinction between freedom of speech and toxic behavior. A gaming community is supposed to be a fun and safe space, so if someone is consistently causing harm or disruption, they should face consequences. However, I also think there should be room for debate and differing opinions, as long as it's done respectfully.1 point

What’s the Most Ergonomic PC Gaming Handheld?
killamch89 reacted to Anders for a topic
Personally I can only speak on the Steam Deck, as that's the only PC handheld that I've actually used, but at least in my hands, the Steam Deck feels extremely comfortable. Before i ordered mine I debated whether to get the Steam Deck or the ROG Ally X, as they both cost exactly the same in my country. Both have advantages and drawbacks, but the thing that ulitimately made me go for the Deck was the ergonomics. The Deck has some pretty beefy grips on the back that fit perfectly in my hands, while the Ally X looks a lot more flat. I also like the placement of the thumb sticks a lot better on the Deck. On the Ally X, the right tumbstick looks like it's placed similarly to the Switch joycons, which means that your right thumb will constantly be curled, which to me at least feels really uncomfortable after a while. On the Deck both thumbsticks are placed so that both your thumbs can be fully extended1 point -
Are PC Handhelds Getting Too Powerful?
killamch89 reacted to Anders for a topic
I just got a Steam Deck OLED and so far my opinion is that it is the perfect balance between power, size and battery life. The problem with something like Acer's new Nitro handheld is that it's more powerful, sure, but it's so big that you can't really bring it with you without a dedicated bag. It also has a 4K screen, which in my humble opinion is absolutely stupid. At 11" 4K is way overkill. The Steam Deck OLED has a 7,4" screen at 1200x800, which in 2025 sounds like a really low resolution, but honestly at 7,4" it feels and looks great. The Nitro's battery is also the same size at the Steam Deck's, and shockingly, a 4K display will draw a lot more power than 800p will. In short, if you want ultimate power, get a desktop. If you want perfectly decent perfomance in a handheld that will actually fit in your hands, get something like a Steam Deck or an Ally X1 point -

What Do You Think of a Pokémon VR Game?

Rashford and Garnacho who will leave Manchester United first?
Ja sa bong reacted to killamch89 for a topic
I'm not even a Man United fan but I agree, Rashford should be the first to leave. He's been so inconsistent throughout his time at Man United and should have been moved on years ago. He's one of the players that have cost several former United managers their jobs.1 point -
How Often Do You Replace Your Gaming Accessories, Like Mouse or Keyboard?
killamch89 reacted to Anders for a topic
I usually hang on to things either until they stop working, or until they are outdated to the point where an upgrade would make my life easier. I haven't replaced anything in my desk setup recently, but the last thing I got was a wireless mechanical keyboard. Before I upgraded I had one wired tenkeyless mechanical keyboard for my main PC, and one wireless keyboard with a numpad for working from home. I decided to upgrade in order to get a wireless mechanical one with a numpad that was able to connect to multiple devices at the same time. Now I only need to use one keyboard, and I can switch between my main PC and my work PC at the push of a button.1 point -

How did the NES revolutionize the gaming industry in the 1980s?
killamch89 reacted to The Blackangel for a topic
First off, you can’t ignore the fact that Nintendo pretty much saved gaming in 1983. Here (western market)the NES didn’t even appear on the market until 1985. If I remember correctly, it released in 1984 in the east under the name of Famicom. It revolutionized gaming by jumping from the 2 bit graphics of systems such as the Atari 2600, all the way up to 8 bit graphics. The angles, and interactive background was beyond anything gamers of the era could have imagined. It also gave rise to Galoob who created the Game Genie. The Game Genie was a lifesaver for some. It was required for me to actually beat Mike Tyson, after years of trying and failing. It gave an inkling to where gaming could potentially go if companies used up-to-date hardware, and kept a highly skilled arts department. In short, if it wasn’t for the NES, it we wouldn’t be talking, as we never would have met and several friendships would never exist for the same reason.1 point -

Do You Prefer Working with Numbers or Words?

Has anyone here repaired Atari controllers or consoles? How did it go?
killamch89 reacted to The Blackangel for a topic
All things considered, it’s pretty difficult to repair them. The electrical components, like capacitors and resistors, have changed so much that it’s hard to find parts for a damn near 50 year old system.1 point -

What's the Most Memorable Feature of the Original PlayStation for You?
The Blackangel reacted to killamch89 for a topic
For me, it was the transition to 3D graphics. Games like Tekken and Resident Evil showed what gaming could be. Sure, the graphics seem dated now, but back then, they were revolutionary.1 point -
Which Iteration of Bowser Do You Like the Best?

The original Bowser in SMB1 on NES. He’s iconic. After that, it would be Bowser on N64. Grabbing him by the tail and swinging him around it awesome.1 point -
Have you ever made stacked sandwiches?
Cpvr reacted to killamch89 for a topic
I recently tried stacking a bunch of sandwiches on top of each other for fun, and it turned out to be a surprisingly satisfying meal. I’m talking about layers of different fillings like sliced turkey, cheese, veggies, and sauces, all piled up. It’s a bit messy, but totally worth it. Have any of you tried making stacked sandwiches before? What’s your favorite combination, or do you have any tips to make it even better?1 point -

How Could VR Technology Improve Public Speaking and Presentation Skills?
killamch89 reacted to The Blackangel for a topic
If a person with anxiety issues, or someone who is autistic is trying to give a talk, it could help them a lot. Stage fright is a very real problem for a lot of people. @Rain Dew wants me to hit up an open mic and try some stand up. I could never get up in front of people like that. But if I was in a different location, and performing through the VR, that’s a possibility. Besides, while I have my occasional moment, I’m not a comedian. I’m just a jackass.1 point -
Musicians You Admire for Their Vocal Range or Ability? Post:

If you could only play one game for the rest of your life, what would it be?
killamch89 reacted to The Blackangel for a topic
Damn this is a hard one. Everyone knows I’m passionate about RDR2. But the thought of giving up my classic systems is something I don’t think I could ever do. But if you were to put a gun to my head, I’m thinking it would be a Zelda title. Which one, I have absolutely no clue. If I was to go with OoT, maybe I could get to a point where I no longer needed a goddamn guide just to get through the fucking water temple.1 point -
Fast-Paced vs. Slow-Paced Lifestyle: Which Do You Prefer?
killamch89 reacted to The Blackangel for a topic
We moved out of the city a couple months ago, and my health has improved greatly. Both physical and mental. I grew up on a small farm, and can’t live a healthy life in town. Now we live a little over 10 miles (according to google, 16.0934 km) from the nearest town. The slower pace my life is, the healthier I am.1 point -

Should Games with Historical Settings Aim for Total Accuracy?
Shagger reacted to killamch89 for a topic
I think games with historical settings should aim for a balance between historical accuracy and creative liberties. Total accuracy might appeal to history buffs but could alienate casual players or limit storytelling opportunities. For example, games like Assassin’s Creed sprinkle in historical facts but take liberties to weave compelling narratives. As long as the core essence of the time period is preserved, creative adjustments can make history feel alive and relatable without making it a dull history lesson.1 point -

Sunrises vs. Sunsets: Which Do You Prefer and Why?

Becrowned - Game inspired by early Silent Hill games

This game looks interesting, it's said to be a retro style horror game from the team at 13th Street. I definitely get Silent Hill vibes from the trailer, especially with the style of music.

That's spot on! The atmosphere has been built in such a way so as to resemble survival horror, which should be very familiar to fans of the genre. The fact that Becrowned may breath new life into the genre, it makes it so encouraging.1 point
