Like a consent button will stop them doing it anyway. Consent is something for little people. They don’t believe in it.

Proof, should it ever be needed, that a compete lack of understanding of punctuation and grammar should never stand in the way of your dreams of being a multi-millionaire kiddy diddler.

Every time I use that site it says I am unique. So is that good? Surely if I was trackable, it would match me against the previous times I’d been there.
Or maybe the site is just spouting a load of clickbaity nonsense?
- Comment on Google’s Sundar Pichai says the job of CEO is one of the ‘easier things’ AI could soon replace 3 days ago:
You don’t even need AI. Just pay staff less and charge customers more, and give the stolen money to shareholders. Ta-da! That’s the CEO’s job done.

- Comment on ‘Clair Obscur’ Leads The Game Awards 2025 Nominees With 12 Nods; ‘Silent Hill f’ Has Four Nominations 5 days ago:
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 completely dominated the spring and summer. Nobody would shut up about it. This year’s Baldur’s Gate.
Feels like it’s going to sweep most awards here just for that, and they’ve listed the other games just to be polite and pretend it’s a contest.
I should get around to playing it at some point.

Honestly didn’t think it was as good as the first one.
The truck is a hammer and every single problem is a nail.

Having played a fair bit of it, I can see why it isn’t.

Every award show ever: “Just give most of the prizes to whatever sold the most, with the odd curveball choice to make sure everyone comments to tell us that we are wrong to drive up those engagement metrics”

If it isn’t diversified, then you’re not investing. You’re gambling.

Even the original with the destructable landscape.
I don’t know how you’d do that even now, and certainly not how they did it on a PS2…

Red Faction’s destruction has still never really been attempted by anything other than Teardown.
- Comment on Years later, Arkane’s Dishonored is still a modern stealth classic 1 week ago:
That intro section is fantastic.
Enemy design can be annoying though.
- Comment on Sony’s Concord Is Playable Again Thanks To Fan-Made Custom Servers 1 week ago:
Impressive. This is like making a Star Trek replicator, but the only thing it can make is more garbage.
- Comment on Bank Workers, Rejoice! 1 week ago:
I bought a fairly cheap house and paid it off as fast as I could.
Could I have made more by investing that money instead of shoving it into a mortgage? Maybe.
But you can’t live in an investment account. When the markets take a shit, you don’t lose a room from your house. And when it’s paid off, your outgoings are basically food, electricity and internet.

I remember seeing the Virtuality kits on TV in the 90s. Cyberzone with Craig Charles.

Clearly absolutely unplayable nonsense, and yet I still wanted to play on one.
It took so long for hardware to catch up.
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 1 week ago:
I mean, you can certainly pick up a used Quest 2 if you wanted to try it out. There’s a handful of exclusive stuff in the Quest store you’d be able to use, but not much of value. Resident Evil 4 VR is about it for the Q2. I think there was a Batman game for the Q3. You’d have access to anything the Steam Frame has access to if you’re streaming from a PC.
I think the PSVR2 works as well, but it’s wired only.
Half Life Alyx is certainly worth a blast through.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 1 week ago:
Yeah, at about £500 I’d have got one. I don’t need the full Steam OS or any of that crap. I just want wireless connection to my PC for streaming.
The use of a second wireless dongle could be a double edged sword as well. Right now I can use a Quest anywhere in the house on Wifi. Works better than wired, in fact. The dongle would limit where I can use it.

- Comment on To the rapidly aging person reading this: GameFAQs is 30 years old, and people are sharing their memories of the venerable guide hub 1 week ago:
I hope there’s a giant archive of these guides we can download, should anything happen to that site. Any older games you might be stuck on, this is about the only place to go for help.
And I’ll tell you now, old games can be obscure as shit. They didn’t care if you finished them or not.
