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" 4 days 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 1 week 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 weeks 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 weeks ago:
Yeah, ha ha, fuck off

give one the right to pirate
What if Margaret Mead, at her age, smoked grass
- Comment on Spotify will now let free users pick and play tracks | TechCrunch 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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.

Buy their merch rather than feeding the beast
- 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' 3 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 Xbox fans are compiling lists of all the Activision, Bethesda, and Microsoft games still missing from Xbox Game Pass — and it's pretty huge 4 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t give Microsoft any money if they were selling last drops of oxygen on Earth, not fucking video games
- Comment on We risk a deluge of AI-written ‘science’ pushing corporate interests – here’s what to do about it 4 weeks ago:
2025 has clankers resmearching.

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. 1 month ago:
Gnome Easytag worked perfectly circa 2005.
- Comment on Game prices should have increased with every new generation, former PlayStation US boss says 1 month 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 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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. 2 months 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.
