  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 ⁨day⁩ 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 ⁨day⁩ 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.

  Vodkabot.

  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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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.

  Same thing. Now get back to work, um, Disposable Drone #132,792.

  Those shareholders really appreciated that sacrifice.

• ⁨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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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.

  The janitor is nice though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone know what's inside this building?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve played Wolfenstein The New Order. Probably Nazis.

  Be like Zammo. Just say no.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bewildered enthusiasts decry memory price increases of 100% or more — the AI RAM squeeze is finally starting to hit PC builders where it hurts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Welp, it’s probably about time for my PC to break its RAM again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can a Smart TV piggy back the internet of a HDMI device?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They can barely make the other device turn on reliably, let alone have enough planets aligned to let the other device access the internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For those of you who enjoy open-world games, how big of a world is too big?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends how full it is, how interesting is it (note this is not the same as full), how fast you can travel, and how fun movement is.

  There’s a lot of elements to open world and a lot of devs get the balance very wrong. You end up playing in a map rather than the world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Future of Advertising Is AI Generated Ads That Are Directly Personalized to You⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you seen daytime TV? It’s a sea of ads for shite you’d never want, and if you have no money for the shite, there’s ads for loans as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Future of Advertising Is AI Generated Ads That Are Directly Personalized to You⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not any more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Digital ownership must be respected’: UK parliament debates Stop Killing Games campaign, but government doesn’t budge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m unconvinced anyone will really legislate this, and if it is, it’ll just lead to that country being scratched off the list of where the game is officially supported.

  Realistically, we need to stop buying online only games where the servers will eventually go offline, and support those that release open servers.

  Isn’t Temu just a bunch of shady Chinese resellers in a trenchcoat like Amazon?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Head of UK’s largest union says she doesn’t know if Starmer will remain Labour leader⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But he put a load of immigrants in a local hotel, and being the sneaky time-travelling bastard that he is, he managed to do this back in 2020 when the Tories were in charge. 😠

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Male Mar-a-Lago face⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think their heads just naturally expand as they get further right.

  It’s nature’s way of saying “snipe me”.
