Time to test the double luge teams for meth!
- Comment on Discord walks back age verification fears for most users 1 day ago:
It is bizarre how they all fled reddit when they got greedy, so ran off and set up on Discord instead. So now you get a procession of users with the same 4 questions over and over.
- Comment on TV remotes should have an easy-to-find by touch "volume" toggle button that toggles between two volume settings. 2 days ago:
Define solve.
You can normally crank the centre channel quite a bit. That’s normally where the dialog is coming from.
But tbh, I’m not buying decent speakers to listen at piddling whispery volumes.
- Comment on Remedy's new CEO is a former sports betting guy and EA executive who aims to 'scale Remedy in a way that builds lasting value' 3 days ago:
Well that’s an ominous headline if ever I saw one.
- Comment on Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers. 3 days ago:
I do like the motion controls a lot of early PS5 games had. It’s a shame that devs seem to have forgotten how to implement it in just a few short years. For God of War Ragnarok and Days Gone it was a game changer. It just gives you that last few inches of accuracy that the stick doesn’t have.

Ape Escape was peak dual stick gameplay.
Left stick to move. Right stick for gadgets.

Seeing people play something like Assassin’s Creed on mouse and keyboard is just wild.
- Comment on My feelings on the Super Bowl 5 days ago:
A game already described as “On this Sunday”
- Comment on i mean 5 days ago:
It doesn’t look that bad. And then you hold it. It’s like they made a controller based around the theme of stepping on Lego.
- Comment on Veganuary 5 days ago:
It’s not a hate crime to block things you have no interest in.
First thing I did on here was block all the trans and gay stuff. Then the tankies and the vegans. And now all the AI shit, although that’s mostly not got a home here.
- Comment on Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce models 5 days ago:
Careful what you wish for.

- Comment on Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce models 6 days ago:
I want devs to write games for £400 Steam Decks. I don’t want them to write games for £3000 GPUs.
There’s realistically no games that won’t run on PS5 level hardware. Every effect that can be done with raytracing can be done a little worse without it.

Switzerland will have a hell of a set of steps down to the beach…

They already did that in Far Cry Primal…

- Comment on Work smarter, not harder 1 week ago:
The name got bought, and somebody else reopened some. Mostly just a section within Macy’s, but there’s a handful of actual stores.
Except Canada, apparently. That’s the only original Toys R Us left.

You guys are getting free bread?
- Comment on Ubisoft Fires Team Lead For Criticising Stupid Return-To-Office Mandate 1 week ago:
They released one game last year that I’d expect to make money (Assassin’s Creed 14).
Not sure how they’re actually in business right now. Surely they need more than that to stay afloat. None of their microtransaction games are whale milking machines like EA’s FIFA/Madden or Activision’s COD series.
I’ll kind of miss them when they’re gone. They’ve always been the least evil of the big publishers.
- Comment on You won: Microsoft is walking back Windows 11’s AI overload — scaling down Copilot and rethinking Recall in a major shift 1 week ago:
After pushback from users? Or after realising how much it’s costing them on the server end?
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 1 week ago:
I think the base game is really a testament to the fact that CDPR have a lot of success with open world games, but don’t really do them very well… They make really solid campaigns, and then pad them out with utter nonsense that kills the pacing stone-cold dead.
“Oh hey, here’s something really urgent. We cannot stress enough how urgent it is. By the way we’ve also just unlocked about a hundred side quests. Enjoy!”
I’m still salty that I missed one of the ending achievements because if you follow the instructions it gives you, it will cause a fail state on that particular ending.

Make sure to make a save at the appropriate point so you can do both paths.

I found it rough near the start, but it gets a lot easier as you go on, once you get more of a feel for when attacks are coming. Eventually you’ll be dodging things you’ve never seen before just on instinct.
Dodges are a lot easier than parries, even if you don’t get the extra AP from it. Fights last a bit longer, but you can definitely plough through most of it even with bad timing. Explore thoroughly in act 1, otherwise you’ll probably be underlevelled for the last boss there. Not really any need to grind mindlessly, but you can if you really need the extra levels.

Do yourself a favour and get the Ultimate Edition. Phantom Liberty is the only real reason to put yourself through it.

I actually had that happen on the Android one a few years ago. I’m guessing the Apple one is years behind.

I’d rather use an Android TV box, so I can have Dolby Vision, etc.
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 1 week ago:
I dunno, killing the idea of ownership of games was pretty bad.
I don’t think any amount of Proton patches submitted is going to bring that back.

It’ll certainly save on those pension contributions.
