- Comment on The Helldivers 2 Community needs to get a fucking grip on itself 22 hours ago:
Okay, I know a lot about this issue, and it was one guy that doxxed him and a handful of users berating him. Its not “the community.” Its not acceptable. But neither is Arrowheads response, TBH. They should get Sony to get private investigators to catch the doxxer and make an example out of him, otherwise the doxxer wins. He gets what he wanted. This incident reflects on Arrowhead whether they want it or not, so they need to respond to it swiftly, not their “doxxing bad” public announcement.

Including Nintendo. Especially Nintendo.
- Comment on I want to replay Skyrim but 4 days ago:
Morrowind. Its older (should easily runnwell on your rig), and its combat mechanics are more similar to table-talk rpgs (an attack might look like it should hit, but the game internally rolls dice to see if it beats enemy armor etc.), but its an immensely better RPG experience compared to Skyrim.
OpenMW is the most recommended way to play since its a reimplementation of the game engine, fixing various bugs and improving compatibility with modern computer systems while adding some modern features like shadows for terrain and more optimized lighting.
- Comment on Highguard will permanently shut down on March 12th. 4 days ago:
And don’t even get me started on gaming news and influencers, who seem like they love to hate.
Literally every gaming news media outlet and “influencer” when the topic is Xbox:
- Comment on Capcom Has A Lot More Resident Evil Coming According to a Reliable Leaker, Including RE9 DLC, an RE1 Remake, and More 5 days ago:
Disappointed RE1 is getting a remake to turn it into modern Action Shooter Slop.
RE1 was already remade, and it was literally the perfect remake too.
- Comment on Highguard will permanently shut down on March 12th. 5 days ago:
Even if Concord was free, it still would have had less players than Highguard. Nobody wanted to play Concord, at least some people wanted to play Highguard.
- Comment on Event: Due Process Gamer Pool 5 days ago:
Such a shame this game fell off so hard. Previous team didnt do enough for the game. Should have made it ReP, probably would spike the playerbase

Everything was direct download on Myrient. It was also pretty fast for a free site.
- Comment on Resident Evil Requiem currently peaking at over 300,000 players on Steam 1 week ago:
It is a free demo, so its not that crazy. Will be interesting to see the number when people have to buy the game.
- Comment on YSK, A chat space on Matrix has appeared for Neurodivergents 1 week ago:
The name just makes me think of the “evil X” memes:
Evil Autism be like: “Yes hello, I would love to have a pleasant conversation. Oh, nothing too niche and specific? No worries!”

They made Leon hotter by asking women on the dev team for feedback on his design.

Meanwhile Marathon’s server slam is down by more than 50% from yesterday, dropping from ~150k to ~55k.
“Dont worry, its a Thursday, just wait until the weekend.”
Nah bro, it dropped to its lowest concurrent player count on a Friday. That bodes horrendously badly for its future. And I mean, good. Its a skinwalker anyway (though I really love the artstyle, Graphic Brutalism has always been a favorite of mine since it started popping up in the late 2000s, its not a Marathon game, and my love of its art style isnt enough to carry it alone).
- Comment on New York sues Valve for enabling "illegal gambling" with loot boxes 1 week ago:
So are they going to do the same thing against EA, ActiBlizz, Epic Games, etc etc? Or is this just “Valve has the most money and we want money and dont actually care about this issue” yet again?

- Comment on Games with friends 1 week ago:
In that case, you got a lot of options.
Helldivers 2 would probably be a good fit. It doesn’t have a lot to learn for a player to do well, and if one player is a min-maxing nuisance it won’t really effect the rest of the player’s experience. It’s a cooperative third person shooter.
- Comment on Games with friends 1 week ago:
How many people are in your group? If its 4 people then you guys have tons of options, but if its 5 or more, your options are extremely limited (I know this because I play in a group of 5).
- Comment on YSK Your smoke detectors should be replaced every 7-10 years 1 week ago:
If you are asleep and your house catches fire, the idea is that the smoke detector will wake you up with enough time hopefully to escape the fire. That is really their primary purpose.
Some European countries do require them. Germany and Britain require smoke detectors in all residential buildings, for example.
- Comment on YSK Your smoke detectors should be replaced every 7-10 years 1 week ago:
If your smoke detectors go off when you are cooking, then the smoke detectors are too close to the kitchen. At least where I live, building code mandates one smoke detector in each bedroom, one in each hallway leading to a bedroom, and at least one smoke detector on each floor of the home. Generally, avoid placing smoke detectors near kitchens or exterior windows which, when open, are right next to a grill or other cooking appliance. Otherwise you’re going to be getting a lot of false positives.
- Comment on "Game preservation only works if people care" As GOG doubles down on its commitment to saving old games, it's asking players "who give a s**t" to support its crusade 1 week ago:
Its true, but also “please give the big business more money” isn’t exactly the thing anyone but business owners and shareholders want to hear.

- Comment on The Developer the Handheld Scene Depends On: An Interview With Gamma 2 weeks ago:
I feel a bit puzzled as of what a second screen can bring onto the table when emulating single screen games
Maps, a useable notepad, control scheme reminder image if buttons don’t match onscreen prompts, game specific companion apps, etc.
- Comment on Nintendo is issuing refunds for Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition's poorly-received premium Switch 2 Edition upgrade 2 weeks ago:
Remember how much Nintendo fought and gaslit everyone about JoyCon Drift to avoid paying/fixing/refunding customers?
They aren’t fighting this time.
