  They’ll undoubtedly retain all of the people who came to play Dreck Aegis, after all it’s highly state of the art and highly replayable, like any Doom game.

  How nice for Microsoft, I’m sure it’s a big success.

  trying to get our friends to jump ship to a new alternative

  People keep saying this, but the problem is even those who know better keep Whatsapp installed alongside Signal. Trying means leaving Zuckerberg’s messenger and notifying your friends you’re only on Signal from now on. I did that and even my pre-boomer parents now use Signal.

  they already have a working app that does what they need.

  Not if they need to contact me.

  Happy they didn’t fuck up the originals, but added these as separate titles. Fucking Sony recently pushed a rEmaSteREd Days Gone as a patch and it sucks, the version before looked great at 45 FPS on Steam Deck, this one is in the toilet for dubious gains. They certainly did it so that people who play the game on their ps5 pro don’t notice how much better the game looks and works on the pc.

  an unlogged user can’t vote.

  But an unlogged user can create a new account, no problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TIL blocking users on Lemmy is nothing but a placebo⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You use “stalk” for “see what you publicly publicized”. You block people to not be annoyed, not to be safe. Consider that AN UNLOGGED, ANONYMOUS user can also see your posts. How is blocking supposed to work in this case?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doom the dark ages...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like complete ass, deflect the green is the stupidest idea in gaming in a long time and those dragon segments are just an insult. Also, I’m happy Bethesda saved time and CPU cycles not baking lighting, but it got offloaded to gamers’ computers for dubious benefit. I have eyes, I see how 2016 and Eternal look, please tell me how much of a graphic improvement the endless glitching fields of darkness are. I wouldn’t buy a game for more than 15€ if it’s top notch (patient gamer here), but I don’t see myself playing this ever, it just evokes a sadness. The story of Eternal (the only game of the recent trilogy I actually liked) was a huge Marvel-caliber turd and I skipped every cutscene, so I’m not expecting anything in that department.

  Yeah, make me read through an investor-oriented powerpoint once, shame on you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — 10th Anniversary Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s what got me confused - why call it a trailer if there’s nothing new? Not even a UE5 remaster, those are all the rage now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — 10th Anniversary Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I genuinely don’t understand, is this a new edition and if so, what’s added? Or is it just a trailer apropos nothing, CDPRs “not without my anus” of the gaming news cycle?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are there any mods that rebalance difficulty to make it more challenging?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hated it, barely pulled through. Great looking game with a wonderfully designed open world and it falls apart if you engage it with any planning. It should have been a linear game, it would waste less time, the only missions worth playing are in the main quest, all of the rest is flimsiest filler, a few dudes standing around waiting for something to happen that you can hack from a distance without them realizing what’s happening. It’s more padding than pudding and it’s way too easy once you level up a few times. Even the story is very uneven in quality across the game, there’s missions that deserve to be a novel, but many are just ridiculously cheap saturday morning cartoon-level trope deployments.

  If you knowingly patronise a nazi bakery, that’s fine?

  I live in Croatia, I certainly buy bread from some nazis unless it’s a franchise bakery that these days employ mostly SEA immigrants. The beliefs of the person selling me bread or writing code I’m using don’t come into play at all, that’s what I’m saying. The left is practically falling apart because of principled children who’d cancel anyone for their beliefs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fediverse.com is available for sale⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You say “knowingly patronise”, I say “buy some bread”. Grownups recognize that we live in a society and people hold different opinions. How can you be sure there are no nazis feeding you, clothing you, transporting you? Especially with the ever-widening scope of that term, it’s on the verge of making no sense, being a catch-all term for stuff people don’t like. Instead of engaging others and finding common ground, people are behaving like kids, completely blocking others out for any documented slight.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fediverse.com is available for sale⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Software works regardless of their political posturing. Your baker might be a nazi as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perplexity CEO says its browser will track everything users do online to sell 'hyper personalized' ads | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fucking Perplexity can’t give away licenses. T-mobile is giving Perplexity AI Pro licenses for free (to subscribers), they advertise it as if it’s something worth something, it’s hilarious. Then obviously not many users took the bait because they sent a mass e-mail (from the University) to all of the faculty giving all employees (not just teaching personnel) these valuable Perplexity AI Pro licenses, only hurry up because there’s only 20k of these and it’s first come first served. Still haven’t used their shit and actually don’t know anyone who does.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Within an enthusiast bubble, PC handhelds are a big deal, but they do not exist in the same universe as Nintendo consoles.

  I keep hearing this shit and it seems like stupid wishful thinking, because in a locked-down universe where Switch 2 is not a shitty proposition for way too much cash compared to getting a PC with 10k+ PC games from the get go and also emulating anything you wish because it’s your hardware and it’s just bits - in that universe, Polygon is a much needed pool of experts that people go to for advice instead of clicking on stupid ragebait titles telling them a log of shit is the new snickers.
