- Comment on The best games of 2025, picked by NPR's staff 2 days ago:
It saddens me that Sektori came out too late to be on these lists, because they are effective marketing for indies and it’s one of the finest games ever made. It works flawlessly, is Linux friendly and is polished to a shine. It’s very opinionated design, but the opinions are in my opinion all correct and the overall game is a wonderful sequel to Geometry Wars. The only thing it’s missing right now is 2-player (at least) coop.
- Comment on Epic boss Tim Sweeney thinks stores like Steam should stop labelling games as being made with AI: 'It makes no sense,' he says, because 'AI will be involved in nearly all future production 1 week ago:
It does make sense, because I’ll boycott nearly all future productions.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
That’s another problem, even if we disregard optimizations, AAA games from 2015. look better than modern upscaled stuff, Unreal Engine seems to be so easy enough to use nowadays that big vertically-integrated slop publishers replaced seasoned developers with the cheapest of zoomers.

That’s exactly it, was looking for this comment.
- Comment on Horizon Steel Frontiers, an MMORPG twist on Sony's series about plinking robo-animals with arrows, is coming to PC 3 weeks ago:
This just looks like total crap, gameplay videos and all.
- Comment on GTA 6 dev Rockstar says recent firings were due to leaks of "confidential information" and were "in no way related to people's right to join a union" 4 weeks ago:
With proton it finally does.

- Comment on Assassin's Creed is a "forever brand" because Ubisoft supported huge risks with it, ex director says: "Whereas, say, EA, you get these awful execs and they never made games and they came from toothpaste companies" 4 weeks ago:
Sure, it’s a forever brand, can’t wait for it to be forever shelved after someone buys it as a piece of Ubisoft’s corpse.

Noooo the britbong threads
- Comment on Scoop: Ubisoft cancelled a post-Civil War Assassin’s Creed last year 1 month ago:
AC is so moldy Ubisoft could only get excited with a nice big Grow Home / Up sequel with no microtransactions, no ingame shop and everything unlockable through playing.
- Comment on Xbox: "Price Increases Are Never Fun For Anybody" 2 months ago:
I would never give Microsoft money for their shitty subscription, so it is kind of fun for me.
- Comment on New Steam study alleges that Valve's store is home to extreme right-wing "wars" 2 months ago:
Valve does nothing
It’s not Valve’s job to provide a liberal education and loving community for the young’uns, the only thing Valve can do is censor discussions and ban people for what they are saying. Like tiktok is doing with “Israel is controlling the U.S. through AIPAC”.

- Comment on Steam Autumn Sale 2025 Has Begun 2 months ago:
I will be playing Silksong until the winter sale, but I can recommend this for the sale price that they’re asking (0.75€ at the moment).
- Comment on Xbox invests big into indies, signs Game Pass deals with over 50 studios 2 months ago:
Whose employees then go and make new companies, marketing its first game as “by the makers of X” and MS is left holding IP of dubious worth and their dick in their hands.
- Comment on Meta chief technology officer(CTO) explains why the smart glasses demo failed at Meta Connect — and it wasn’t the Wi-Fi 2 months ago:

I use bandcamp to throw some cash at them, it’s a fair offer and ok price.
- Comment on Spotify will now let free users pick and play tracks | TechCrunch 2 months ago:
Some more things I’m sure of include that Spotify exists for the artists and won’t sneakily replace them with Suno-generated shit at first opportunity or fuck with people’s legacy of holy playlists or make the interface more cumbersome to alter users’ habits, or increase the price until the frogs start jumping out. It’s allowed to exists through the graces of biggest publishing conglomerates whose C-suite and shareholders get the lion’s share. Fuck fucking Spotify.

- Comment on Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it' 2 months ago:
The big problem is how to make it fun for those who are not spave nerds. They are making a game for hundreds of thousands of players with a budget of a game for tens of millions. They are getting funded for a feline-shaped bag, once it’s out chances are it’ll be so aggressive, mangy and moody no one will want to play with it. Aiming at a reticle projecting where the enemy will be when the shots land for 30 hours with occassional explanations by hollywood b-listers is not everyone’s cup of space tea.
- Comment on Dying Light continues celebrating its 10th anniversary with a big graphical facelift, but don't you dare call it a remaster 2 months ago:
Let’s just throw higher res textures at every 3D game that works good on Steam Deck until it’s unplayable. Days Gone used to be locked 48FPS for me and it’s pretty fucked these days and it looks a tiny bit better to a tiny bit worse depending on how dark you tolerate your night.
Please note Techland, I’ll just change my review to negative and uninstall your game forever if it works any worse or sparks any less joy than the version you haven’t fucked.

- Comment on Game prices should have increased with every new generation, former PlayStation US boss says 3 months 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 3 months 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.
