  I think the only game where you can make IRL money is Eve Online.

  Definitely, I’ve played solo for all those hours.

  I got about 65 hours in the game as of yesterday, it’s just so good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mass Effect 5 is "still in pre-production" says director as BioWare shifts full focus to the sci-fi RPG amid dev reshuffles and reported layoffs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m trusting Owlcat with my hopes for a good new Mass Effect-like game. They’re taking inspiration from the series for their The Expanse game, and they have a long history of delivering great stories.

  Someone should tell them to let LLMs make financial decisions for them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What should I get my online friend for their birthday?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If they like story games Oneshot is a good idea. You could also send them Steam credit so they can pick one for themselves, like sending them a gift card.

  There’s a simple solution to the case of AI use in game development. It should be in the background, not the foreground, and it should replace grunt work, not professional work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Say Hello to the World's Largest Hard Drive, a Massive 36TB Seagate⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think if I needed to store 36TB of data, I would rather get several smaller disks.

  I wonder what will happen with Save our Ship 2 now that ships are in the main game

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pop it in your calendars⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You should get a publisher if:

  You want to make one game then get fired

  You want your work to be bastardized by the publisher in the future

  You want countless hours of overtime/crunch and no compensation

  You want to be another disposable cog in the machine

  If that doesn’t sound like something you want, self-publish.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pop it in your calendars⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A self-published game with a focus on quality will outperform any AAA game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic as Steam’s top-rated game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What valuing quality over profit does to a mf

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When does Trump finally start taking accountability?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think that poor excuse of a man knows what accountability is

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Steam controller was ahead of its time⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I always wanted one, but by the time I had the personal economy to buy one they weren’t available any more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Statement on Stop Killing Games - VIDEOGAMES EUROPE⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People were upset when PirateSoftware was spreading disinformation about SKG, well get ready for incoming weapons-grade corporate Disinformation.

  Luckily it’s no longer in the hands of the public.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Companies That Tried to Save Money With AI Are Now Spending a Fortune Hiring People to Fix Its Mistakes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Vibe coding is 5% asking for code and 95% cleaning up the code, turns out replacing people with AI is exactly the same.

  No, you heat up the backside and put it back on again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung phones can survive twice as many charges as Pixel and iPhone, according to EU data⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You haven’t had to touch the screen on a Samsung phone since like the S6, every model after that opens from the back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung phones can survive twice as many charges as Pixel and iPhone, according to EU data⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you follow a step-by-step guide?

  Can you use a screwdriver to remove 5-10 identical screws?

  Can you use spudgers of varying sizes?

  Can you use a hair dryer?

  Then you can change the battery on your Samsung phone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung phones can survive twice as many charges as Pixel and iPhone, according to EU data⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You say that like it’s impossible to change the battery on a Samsung phone. I can have it done in under 10 minutes.

  I’ll believe it when I see it. The Americans seem perfectly content with how things are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The UK Stop Killing Games petition has reached 100.000 signatures⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  PirateSoftware (Thor) is a streamer and a game developer who is a narcissistic asshole. He’s been very against the SKG petition since I think the start since if it passed he would be forced to keep supporting his games once they fail (it’s happened before) and made a video trying to torpedo the petition some months ago by spreading disinformation that’s easily disproven with a halfway decent level of reading comprehension. Recently the guy who runs the SKG petition announced that Piratesoftware was successful, which caused a lot of big streamers and Youtubers to catch on and call PirateSofware out while endorsing SKG, including MoistCritikal. Since then the number of signings have skyrocketed.

  There must be some way to remove the “smart” controller from a device and replace it with a dumb one, like an arduino or something. I want to lobotomize these devices.
