- Comment on Star Citizen spinoff Squadron 42 has been delayed yet again, citing everyone going gaga for GTA 6, even if it isn't coming to PC yet 1 day ago:
I know of his issues, but they hardly absolve him of blame.

I mean two things can be true at the same time.
It’s true that there are a lot of pc games that are trying to avoid the GTA6 release window, to the point it creates a 3 month void of games (right around christmas too!) and I suppose it’s for good reason.
It’s also true that roberts is a scammer and you should not belive his lies because SC and S42 are scams.
- Comment on I analyzed my first 30 years of gaming and the 400 games I played 2 weeks ago:
Yea l, figured the same. It’s just name, year, status, platform and kit type/size for now. Not like I can recall when I finished Kohan or whatever obscure 20th century game anyway.
- Comment on I analyzed my first 30 years of gaming and the 400 games I played 2 weeks ago:
Ooh, a fellow listmaker. I’ve started compiling a “past three decade” list as well, mostly for keeping a game kit inventory, but your tracking is way more dilligent. I’ve starte only last year and have been going from memory and old kits and you can imagine how that’s going. Tried a few online tools but none are actually satisfactory for stat purposes, so it’s still in spreadsheet form.
Anyway thank you for the great read, it’s fun to compare and contrast with someone else’s opinions on a couple hundred games.
Edit: Seeing as you liked Frostpunk dare I recommend Ixion? Different vibe but same type of tight decision making and great story.
Edit edit: You have a typo on AoE 2/3

Yea I tried to argue against this when she was hired, but holy hell after the past month this reeks of glass cliff. I’d wager by 2028 xbox will be done for. Shame they’re taking so many good names down with them.
- Comment on Krafton have big plans for Subnautica, after the second game's once-divisive co-op "confirmed the potential to expand beyond the existing fan base" 4 weeks ago:
Oh god, here comes the Subnautica 3 roguelite soulslike extraction shooter with a battle royale mode! Can’t wait!
- Comment on Palworld Hits Nearly 1 Million Concurrent Players 10 Days After 1.0 Launch 5 weeks ago:
Gave it a try for a couple of hours to see what the fuss is about. It’s not bad, like a cross between a survival craft/ pokemon game / animal crossing, but very casual and dad-friendly. Haven’t seen many bugs but there’s some jank here and there. Story bits are pretty meh and I’m not really seeing it have a lot of staying power, but that might just be me not being familiar with pokemon games.
- Comment on Oh no, that's Lenovo saying they think these RAM prices will be the new normal and may never go back to how they were 2 months ago:
He’s probably right. Inflation will likely catch up and the prices won’t go down in any significant manner. We ran into this years before the RAMpocalypse, while searching for a sub-200€ GPU, or trying to build a sub-500€ entry level gaming pc.
- Comment on Expect RAM prices to stay high with Micron locking in deals for 5 years 2 months ago:
Don’t think anybody expected micron to return to the consumer market once they got on the gravy train. What I wonder is whether they’re like nvidia now, actually producing, shipping and getting paid, or are those SCAs just promises and more IOUs? Because just reading “micron exponential growth” everywhere does not inspire confidence.
- Comment on "We made a series of mistakes": GOG apologise for emailing Nazi symbols to people in newsletter about Slavic fantasy game 2 months ago:
I’m not from the US, but yes, I recognize the symbols. It’s just that I don’t put too much stock in an marketing email. Maybe I’m completely desensitized due to all the discount spam we get, but it could just as well have been the announcement of a new wolfenstein game or smth ( not sure what’s in it, haven’t read it ).
- Comment on "We made a series of mistakes": GOG apologise for emailing Nazi symbols to people in newsletter about Slavic fantasy game 2 months ago:
I dunno man, I haven’t noticed the nazi SS thing until it blew up on lemmy. I just kinda glazed over the title, figured the symbols had smth to do with a new advertised game and into the bin it went. My money’s on an edgy/nazi employee or an attempt at a joke in very poor taste.
