• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rockstar baulks as a Charlie Kirk assassination mission is created in GTA Online, bans it and censors his name, but there's more out there⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s about timing. If someone did this before he died, you wouldn’t even hear about it in the news.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rockstar still hasn't offered a convincing reason for firing over 30 GTA 6 developers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope. But they did delay the game again and they pinky promised they didn’t fire these people to union bust.

  And now the images work for me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 520 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m curious what your Steam replay looks like

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 520 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Maker Promises ‘Divinity’ Will Be ‘Next Level’⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So is this a whole new divinity or a remake of the first divinity?

  Eat that poor banana already!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A new ‘solution’ to student homelessness: a parking lot where students can sleep safely in their cars⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Solutions never involve lowering prices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Used to be that disk jockeys also got to pick what they played to an extent. Now it’s all just predetermined lists nationwide brought to you by iHeartRadio.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Used to be we would share mixtapes… I really miss that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I miss the days of people having their own bespoke collection of their favorite movies and shows. Everything is homogenized now. At least when I pirate, I’m still building my own personal media library. And I never have to worry about the show I like being removed later.

  But I’m not gonna lie. The quality drop off in content caused by streaming services I think is a bigger issue

  Netflix activity tries to make content that’s not actually good enough to watch without browsing a phone. Second screen content, they call it. And I guarantee someone in a finance role realized they could make way more by doing just enough to keep people, rather than try to actively create amazing content, because it’s soo much cheaper to not pay for good writers, or good set designers or actors when you could just find someone who’s good enough. I think it’s because the money people spend is recurring, linked to the service as a whole, and not linked to the individual work… users have to vote by watching now, and some of the best stuff I’ve ever seen is also some of the least watched.

  Interesting argument seeing as your product allowed and actively encouraged him to violate your own TOS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic boss Tim Sweeney thinks stores like Steam should stop labelling games as being made with AI: 'It makes no sense,' he says, because 'AI will be involved in nearly all future production⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And that’s why he’ll fail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic boss Tim Sweeney thinks stores like Steam should stop labelling games as being made with AI: 'It makes no sense,' he says, because 'AI will be involved in nearly all future production⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course epic doesn’t understand empowering consumers with information. They don’t care about consumers. If they did, they’d maybe try adding some long requested features to their storefront.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Clair Obscur’ Leads The Game Awards 2025 Nominees With 12 Nods; ‘Silent Hill f’ Has Four Nominations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m waiting for the montage clip of Geoff just saying “Clair Obscure expedition 33” & “Death Stranding 2 On the Beach” over and over and over.

  Those two freaking dominated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I posted this in the other thread, but wanna share here too:

  Most interesting thing to me is the Frame apparently runs a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and is using SteamOS, implying official ARM support for SteamOS, Steam and Proton! Could mean steam and proton coming to android too.

  Thanks, Trump.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Square Enix says it wants generative AI to be doing 70% of its QA and debugging by the end of 2027⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Square Enix exec doesn’t know what QA and Debugging entail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which game would you erase from your memory, in order to experience it fresh once again?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I love it when that happens with a game. Getting blindsided by something truly exceptional is such a surreal experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which game would you erase from your memory, in order to experience it fresh once again?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Disco Elysium for sure

  Fuck that. If we’re going the ai girlfriend route, I’ll just self host my own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PS6 and next Xbox console are both aiming for 2027 release, separate reports claim | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Big mistake. They barely have games for the current gen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨this level is amazing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes yes yes.

  Just went through the whole series the other month. Still holds up surprisingly well.

  But I already started making my own game engine!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox fans are compiling lists of all the Activision, Bethesda, and Microsoft games still missing from Xbox Game Pass — and it's pretty huge⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I really hope the subscription model for games falls flat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inspiring. Innovating.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some trees can continue to grow for hundreds to thousands of years before just dying and rotting away. I don’t see the carbon capture machines lasting that long without steady power and maintenance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fairgame$ Has Been Canceled, Too, According to Michael Pachter, Who Says Sony Has ‘Lost Its Way’⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can live with timed exclusives if it leads to good games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gen Z Is Cutting Back On Video Game Purchases⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not just Gen Z lol. People don’t have money, games are a luxury, luxuries are the first to go when you need to stretch your cash. Not that complicated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Researchers quietly planned a test to dim sunlight. They wanted to ‘avoid scaring’ the public.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Their wealth means nothing to them if they can’t use it as influence. It’s all they truly care about.

  That influence will end with their heads rolling.
