You should have asked an employee instead.
- Comment on Spotifies come and Spotifies go, but that folder of badly-sorted MP3s will still be there in the 2050s. 3 days ago:
Gnome Easytag worked perfectly circa 2005.
- Comment on Game prices should have increased with every new generation, former PlayStation US boss says 1 week ago:
By all means, every increase in price is welcome, it’ll be that much less of a temptation. How are Concord and Fairgames doing?
- Comment on 1 week ago:
This ia worthless, even if it was an official promise I’d never trust EA. Also, I fully expect a kernel-level anticheat. We’ll see after it’s out for a few years, I’m not dumb enough to buy a game that’s not 75% off.
- Comment on Microsoft Is Now Being Sued Over Sunsetting Windows 10 2 weeks ago:
It’s a) well enshittified to be cumbersome to use without apple’s shitty cloud, b) quality control is really bad last few releases and c) just a different class of a same phylum of fucking corporate roaches
- Comment on Microsoft Is Now Being Sued Over Sunsetting Windows 10 2 weeks ago:
Even if he does win, it’s still Windows, still under their control. It’d be maliciously and quite supraliminaly enshittified until it’s unusable. Just slap on a CachyOS or anything else open source
- Comment on Sony calls Tencent game ‘slavish clone’ of Horizon in new lawsuit 4 weeks ago:
Loved Horizon, so I clicked on an open world gameplay trailer and it’s just survivalslop, fiddling with some shit-producing hovels to get them upgraded to shit+1-producing hovels and hitting trees until they’re planks.
- Comment on Microsoft concedes that 'The Outer Worlds 2' retail price was too high — Xbox says it "will keep our full priced holiday releases at $69.99," with refunds incoming 5 weeks ago:
Just consider what you’re up against - the first one was 7.49€ and I haven’t bought it yet simply because I have too many games to play for years now. I certainly won’t pay more than 10€ for the original or the sequel and I’d never pay MS for their shitty subscription.
- 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 5 weeks ago:
The only good is Mass Effect 1, the second one was consolized safe cookie-cutter third person gameplay with the stupidest game finale of all time.
- 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 5 weeks ago:
the bulk of the negative reaction to it had to do with bugs and/or missing content on launch
I played it after it was nominally fixed, but the story is complete shit and the gameplay is cookie-cutter third person sfslop
- 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 5 weeks ago:
Andromeda was a good game after they fixed all the bugs.
Wish for your lack of discernment, I’d have so many good-to-me games to play.
- 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 5 weeks ago:
The franchise is fucked, Andromeda didn’t interest many people anymore after ME3 was so shit, but it was dead to me after they ruined the story with a giant space skeleton bossfight at the end of ME2.
- Comment on A CEO explains the viral 'Gen Z stare'—and why it's going to backfire on them 5 weeks ago:
You do what my generation (genx) never dared to, or, worse, never aspired to even think about
As a genXer, I was an unaspiring lazy worker doing bare minimum before they had a fancy name for it
- Comment on Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy. 1 month ago:
The reason might be a slippery slope or whatever, but there’s mountains of disgusting visual novel incest fantasy shit, so much that I had to filter out all sexual content from Steam even though I might enjoy occasional Sex With the Devil or some Genital Jousting.
- Comment on Statement on Stop Killing Games - VIDEOGAMES EUROPE 1 month ago:
Private servers are not always a viable alternative option for players as the protections we put in place to secure players’ data, remove illegal content, and combat unsafe community content would not exist and would leave rights holders liable.
Just make people sign one of those “I understand there’s no guarantees this’ll work or won’t rape me” when they download the private server software, you fucking corporate snakes.

- Comment on On July 7, Gemini AI will access your WhatsApp and more. Learn how to disable it on Android. 1 month ago:
I was fully expecting that, but since enshittification recently intensified (Android 15’s bluetooth settings are a giant step back in usability), neither google play nor system in general nor anything from motorola has internet access on my phone, I send everything through RethinkVPN (from f-droid) and block all internet access except for apps that I explicitly allow. I’m just not updating anything except periodically Signal, IronFox and PipePipe.

They’d have to install it first.

Nice. For anyone wondering, it’s openbeta x64 and the new options like refresh and aspect ratio are under controls for some reasom

- Comment on You are NOT ready for this! – Endlight (Review) 2 months ago:
whilst the game is not officially supported on the Steam Deck, it runs fine on it, as it has a native Linux port, although I had to move to PC for that Metropolis level as it was starting to lag
You mean Windows, a PC is actually what runs Linux in this case. Just wanted to say Linux port usually has worse performance than DirectX ran through Proton, it makes more sense running a Windows version on Linux than the native version.

- Comment on Brain activity lower when using AI chatbots: MIT research 2 months ago:
So, if a computer is bicycle for the mind, llm can be viewed as combustion engine and the chatbot interface as a car. Hallucinations are accidents that can kill you (i.e. if you follow regurgitated reddit troll as health advice) and your mind’s muscles are wasting away.

- Comment on As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG 2 months ago:
No, I’ve seen it, that is feedback and it should be invaluable to all interested parties, not only those who set the price.
- Comment on As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG 2 months ago:
Just as heads up, Obsidian, I’ll require this to be at least 75% off if it’s good and over 20 hours of single-player campaign. If it’s shorter, I can be enticed at 90% off. I’ll wait for a few years, no problem, my family group backlog is in the thousands.

That’s good news, I might give this a chance.
- Comment on Super Meat Boy 3D: 15 Minutes of Gameplay 2 months ago:
This looks completely unappealing, and I say that as someone who likes 3D platformers. There’s even no replay with all of the attempts at once, I’d argue that gimmick did a lot of heavy lifting.
