  Well, this job certainly would make the perfect excuse for him to take photos of himself striking some cool poses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ex PlayStation exec says Sony can't keep "increasing the graphics power" with new consoles after tech plateau, but PS5 has already "made almost every game a better game"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I meant, they’ve been teaching gamers that better graphics is the reason to get a new console for over 30 years. Good luck now trying to unteach that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How, and why, are there so many AI-generated videos of incredibly obscure/niche topics?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is exactly the same thing that happened when search engine started to get shitty a few years ago. It’s just another step into enshitification :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your greatest "gaming high" you've been chasing ever since? Please take care not to spoil anything, if you are going to be story-specific.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The physics in Half Life 2 blew me away, I would stop every few meters pushing stuff around and then in the water bike part and the gravity gun my jaws would drop. No we just have shinier graphics but still waiting for sor something like that to blow my mind again.

  Also the slowmo on Max Payne 2, can’t count the times I’ve replayed it because of that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It was nice to have Xbox a month or two a year to play new releases. Guess that it’s over now, no problem, still a patient gamer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What Are Ya'll Playing?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Amiga version of Alien Breed 2. Bitch is hard as nails in a coffin. In comparison the Alien Breed trilogy on PC on hardest difficulty is a walk in the park.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's official: EA is going private.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m surprised that there isn’t any government organization that controls or oversees this kind of buyout, especially when so many billions are involved.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hands-On: Borderlands 4 wants you to forget Borderlands 3 ever happened⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s ok, I already forgotten a few years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I see Apple doing it, not because they are Apple but because they control the whole manufacturing process, so they wouldn’t need to negotiate with third parties. That’s what has happened in the mobile industry. In the PC side of things you would need to sit in a table: the CPU, OS, and probably GPU and MOBO manufacturers to negotiate, and knowing how greedy they all are, I don’t see it happening anytime soon. But hey, anything is possible in this dystopian society we live in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time to send a message⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  ICQ chat or go home!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Immortals must be riddled with cancer thanks to gene errors in their dna replication.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Another point of view would be error replication leading to mutation since they cannot die. So a million years in the future how much different would they be from their original species.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSP games that are enjoyable without the nostalgia-factor⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ridge Racer. I don think I have ever put that much hours in a arcade racing game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What does this mean?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The second coming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hot Seat Advert⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, until I saw the integrated joystick I thought: " ok, so fart seat but purchasable"

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's a simple thing, but one good way to make games memorable is for the developers to leave you words of encouragement in the pack-in material.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So this is the last game I played in my early twenties, then a gaming hiatus of 15 years (studying, dating, work…) It was on a brand new PC I had put together for my design studies. Two things I remember perfectly: A) the atmosphere was incredible and scary B) when enemies showed it ran in stop motion. Sadly a had to put my money towards more memory and better monitor and the GPU wasn’t as necessary to me at the moment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Work, work ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s when I was enjoying life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rockstar Games Working Closely With Remedy Entertainment on Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hopefully “closely” doesn’t mean additional launcher, paid cosmetics and such.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cronos: The New Dawn Hands-on Preview⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hopefully the PC version will allow changing the FOV.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elevators might just be Teleporters in disguise⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Now add de Teleport paradox on top of that and you are golden.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's not just kind, it's kinder⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All day long. The mix of cute animals and the nonchalant gore plus funny noises was peak comedy. Probably among the best stuff on YouTube ever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's not just kind, it's kinder⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh I miss those cartoons a lot, we watched it with friends and we couldn’t stop laughing all the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ninja Gaiden for DOS: rated M for "mistake"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I spent a lot of quarters on that arcade.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨thinkpad⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For when you need to fuel your rage with online strangers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Founder of Arkane Studios: "I think Gamepass is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade"; impacts sales⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This has been so obvious from the beginning, and now that it’s too late is when they starting to complain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft has never been good at running game studios, which is a problem when it owns them all⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But that is the whole point. You don’t buy studio to make games, you buy them to get rid of competitors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox Producer Recommends Laid Off Workers Should Use AI To 'Help Reduce The Emotional And Cognitive Load That Comes With Job Loss'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Assholes gonna be assholes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  18 in the summer. 1 the rest of the year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Switch 2: Is it worth buying?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And they’ll cost you €80 for a digital copy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The answer to the The Problem of Evil could just be that "god" has a totally different definition of evil.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I meant, of course everything depends on which version of what you consider. This reasoning also works if we have a different version of what God, or good or humans are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'VE BEEN WAITING TOO LONG⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So my boss is an spinach now?
