A game designed for hardware that doesn’t exist yet on a monitor that doesn’t exist yet.
- Comment on Thoughts on the humble bundle this month? 3 days ago:
I’m definitely not proud that I let my autotomatic annual renewal go through in April. At least it was before the price increase, and now that I’m determined to not renew, I’m being a lot more stingy with my months.

shit, if it’s nbd then that would be awesome

Have you played Banishers? That’s the only big one that looks kinda neat, Gator looks cute but I can pick that up on sale in a couple years

Listen to how they talk about Ukrainians
Oh, they wouldn’t happen to be calling them orks now, would they? That would be terrible.
Judging an ethnic group by their non-democratic government is prejudice, you are prejudiced. Now please continue to justify your racism like everyone else before you.

- Comment on Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures? 1 month ago:
No, remember, it only makes sense if you are consumer-brained
Less live service games = less consooming. Some people literally don’t care about things that are in their best interest, they will happily pay $120 for a game that has pay2win microtransactions and requires a monthly subscription and will also shutdown after 18 months, as long as there is a new one to buy after it.
- Comment on Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures? 1 month ago:
It makes sense if you are completely consumer-brained and only see it as “companies will make less (live service) games if they are forced to support them/let them be community supported”
- Comment on Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures? 1 month ago:
No, there was definitely some criticism before. Prior to this month, it wouldn’t be unusual to hear people complain about how it would destroy the live service market and was therefore Bad Actually for games and game preservation
The topic getting much more mainstream just brought all those people with.
- Comment on kingdom come 1 month ago:
Tomatoes and fruits are a great litmus test (no pun intended) to see if a person can recognize the domain of their knowledge. Some people glomp onto a fact that is correct in some scenarios and use it as an “umm actually” where it isn’t appropriate or even correct (like the definition of racism)

Actually, “mushrooms are technically meat” is a new hill I’d like to die on. Mushrooms have animal cells, ergo, definitely not a vegetable.

- Comment on 'Spitting in the face of your international audience': The Alters cops to using generative AI for background text and translations, despite not disclosing such on Steam 2 months ago:
it gets the same label as a game pumped out of Grok and uploaded untouched
speaking about hypothetical events as if they were real is unhinged
- Comment on 'Spitting in the face of your international audience': The Alters cops to using generative AI for background text and translations, despite not disclosing such on Steam 2 months ago:
even if I accept your premise of a “brainwashed NeoLuddite mob,” you’re still wrong on the simple principle of arguing against a company properly labeling what their product is or how it was made.

Nice strawman Dorothy
- Comment on 'Spitting in the face of your international audience': The Alters cops to using generative AI for background text and translations, despite not disclosing such on Steam 2 months ago:
A substantial part of the market not wanting AI in their products is actually a great reason for them to disclose when it is or isn’t used

That’s not disagreeing then: “It’s not a stunt if it’s a good thing”
- Comment on Bethesda Gifts Everybody in the Skyblivion Team a Copy of Oblivion Remastered 4 months ago:
I disagree. Of course it’s a PR stunt
If you disagree, then why do you call it a stunt?
