- Comment on New Steam study alleges that Valve's store is home to extreme right-wing "wars" 2 weeks ago:
Like… you REALLY telling on your ass if you think the steam forums are something anyone should want more of.
idk man I only use them when a game isn’t gaming right and there’s usually some posts about how to get the game to game correctly, sometimes even posts by the devs, let’s not pretend it’s *all* /v/ shit
- Comment on Relooted - Game made by South Africans has been bombarded by right-wingers 3 weeks ago:
The Steam forums are the most repugnant and racist-filled psychotic right-wing shitholes I’ve ever encountered
“Surely this person is sheltered”
(and I once went to the Stormfront forums)
buddy idk what you’re doing on steam but the worst I get are youtube tier, which can sometimes be Stormfront tier but not higher than that on average.
- Comment on Everyone thinks the Deus Ex remaster looks awful and they're right: 'They really turned those 1999 graphics into 2003 graphics' 3 weeks ago:
Enhanced Edition is by far the best way to play System Shock, it’s controls are a little mouse centric, but the mouse pad on the steam deck should be plenty suitable for mouse things like playing an audio log. Other than that, EE lets you control it like a typical FPS and you can bind controls for switching weapons and whatnot to avoid the UI
If you want to play System Shock, the OG or EE is the only way to get the real experience, IMO the remaster sanded away many of the parts that made it unique (while adding some that make it less unique, like a crafting system for some reason?) to the point that it kinda loses its identity

Steam deck has the mouse pad, no? Still not as good as a real mouse, but the one on my steam controller was the perfect bridge for playing mouse games with a controller.

The Enhanced Edition for System Shock makes it perfectly suitable for anyone used to FPS controls, the “remaster” changes so much that it is hardly the same game.

- Comment on Thoughts on the humble bundle this month? 5 weeks 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

Is it a big improvement over Portia? I have that from a previous month and never really sank time into it

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? 2 months 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? 2 months 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? 2 months 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 2 months 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.

it gets the same label as a game pumped out of Grok and uploaded untouched
