  • I am so uninformed over the last year

    Being uninformed is ok as long as you pair it with knowing you’re uninformed.

    Our Stupid Monkey Branes aren’t designed to be filled with doom all day long, they’re designed to know a handful of people in our tribe. It’s not healthy the way we chase after trying to know everything about everything in order to satisfy ourselves that we’re informed.

  • I was ok with the Angry Birds franchise right up until the shitty kart racing game they pumped out. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more wretched collection of bare-faced advertising and micro transactions as that fucking piece of shit.

    The game was crammed full of new pop songs, and when one would play the game would display a link to buy it from iTunes. I couldn’t let my kid play it, it was just too egregious.

    Haven’t touched any of those games since. Which is a shame, because I really enjoyed the original.

  • I remember buying Bioshock on my iPhone way back in the mists of time, before decent controller support existed for iOS. The on screen controls weren’t great, so I didn’t spend much time playing it, always planning to come back at some point.

    Then it got removed from the App Store so completely that it disappeared from my purchased list, and that was that.

  • Yeah. I booted up my PS4 for the first time in months a few days ago, to play a free game. I had to sit through fifteen minutes of software updates for both the OS, and for God of War that just happened to be in the drive that I’ve completed and didn’t want to play.
