  PEAK is literally peak. Such a gem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox chief Phil Spencer is leaving Microsoft⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The term „AI art“ irks me, IMO it tries to legitimize the virtual theft that it’s based on by implying there‘s a creative, artistic process behind it. It‘s gotta be a lobbied term.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition — Nintendo Switch 2 Edition — Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Next do 3 and a buncha Fire Emblem games and I might feel less buyers‘ remorse towards my Switch 2. I don‘t know why there isn‘t a buttload of Switch 2 upgrades, it‘s making money with patches.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Shit‘s been fucking expensive before this year and most triple-A stuff ran like doodoo anyway. Now prices are just even worse and somehow that‘ll make the suits care? At best we‘ll get the same level of bad.

  MH Wilds has been out for a year and today‘s patch pushed it to the bottom range of acceptable.

  Even if somehow more money was put into engineering now, the argument would be weak but it‘s naive on its own merit already.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve Acknowledges Steam Deck Shortages Due To Global Memory and Storage Issues⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I‘m pretty worried about my devices, ngl. I never really had a problem with PC components or consoles breaking, I‘m very careful with my stuff, but Murphy‘s law… Something will probably break just outta warranty and when a stick of ram gets me a car

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can go AAA for cheap no problem, people just need to not get FOMO‘d out of your minds and half-resist the compulsion to jump on the newest shiny thing immediately.

  The newest DOOM is around 27 Euros rn and not even a year old. Buy on release - or worse yet, pre-order - and you‘ll get the worst deal (financially as well as technically).

  Game prices are fine for me because I literally just wait until they‘re at a point where I don‘t see them as a waste. In the meantime, there‘s 203 untouched games in my Steam library that had reached that point in the past already. Not even mentioning the hundreds of games I got for free between GOG, Prime, and Epic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition out today⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably not very nostalgia but I wish they‘d pick up where Legends left off, that game was incredible

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It wasn‘t meant as a blanket solution for the internet in general, but as a solution for high risk environments like Roblox. What exactly qualifies as a high risk environment is up for debate then, but that Roblox would be one probably not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish there was a system where parents get an app on which they have to approve friend requests for their children in these games and only people on their children‘s friendlist can read/hear them and be read/heard by them. And obviously only parents can send out requests. That way, parents could make sure only their kids‘ school friends can talk to them.

  Obviously, they can‘t make new friends online then, but that‘s for when they‘re older…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Since they didn‘t mention anything (and I assume they would‘ve if there was a change worth mentioning) and they already have the remaster and as such no reason to put money into the chunky version, it doesn‘t seem to be anything that makes the game better. I wonder if there‘s some weird distribution/licensing thing going on and they legally have to rerelease lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda x Nintendo Switch™ 2 — Oblivion, Fallout 4, and Indiana Jones Coming to Switch 2⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  IIRC it had somewhere around 200ms input lag lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Games you really want to play, but can't or won't?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Crusader Kings 3, I know I‘ll look at the clock and get a panic attack, don‘t have time for that time machine right now lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 560 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that DLC thing is custom for Steam, they‘re ALWAYS bundled with the main game, there’s no way for devs to not to, it‘s the biggest downside to hunting on Steam.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is immersion to you?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For me it‘s management stuff. What occupies my brain the most is Crusader Kings 3, always something interesting to do, I can always burn 6 hours on a session easy. There‘s always something to think about but it‘s also pausable.

  In 3D games, I need it to be stutter-free and smooth. I instantly see stutters (also because OLED screens flicker when there‘s a stutter) and it instantly takes me out. That’s probably my sole grievance with PEAK - the frequent stutters that take me out of it. I also need good sealing in-ears to shut out my surroundings. Oh, and no TAA blur…

  I have a pretty broad interest in game genres, so I can get immersed even in silly stuff like the Henry Stickmen Collection - it just can‘t be sad or dark.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I‘ve finished Neon White and I honestly think the hell rushes (especially with level shuffle) is where the game shines the most. I could‘ve saved myself some time skipping all of the story and wouldn‘t have missed out on anything IMO lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 560 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh hell ye. I‘ve been eyeing this game for a long time. Imma ask you how you like the game once you‘ve clocked in more hours. Are you planning to 100% it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC game recommendation for my partner and I⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My gf and I enjoyed:

  Stardew Valley Starbound Cook Serve Delicious 2 and 3 Out of Space Overcooked 2 Pizza Possum PEAK Biped Cat Quest 2 Cats Love Boxes Core Keeper Temtem

  These are the good ones that should run on anything; looking back at them I can‘t believe we‘ve played that many lol

  We‘re currently playing Schedule I but it‘s so buggy in co-op that I can‘t recommend it…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What challenge from a game isn't worth completing and what challenge from a game is worth completing?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, it‘s videogames so any challenge that gives you the satisfaction of clearing it is worth it, any that doesn‘t isn‘t worth it. Could mean all of them are, could mean none of them are, and could mean anything inbetween. I‘m an achievement hunter so I go for those, but I‘m not super purist about it; if the challenge is to walk 40000km, I rubberband the controller lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft target audience when they play a good game⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you play in offline mode (Steam Deck) Steam doesn‘t clock your playtime IIRC

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forza Horizon 6's release date was briefly accidentally leaked in Forza Horizon 5⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You‘d think they would‘ve shown more at this point if the release was this soon (assuming it‘s May this year and not next or the year after lol)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bully Online, the ambitious mod that brought multiplayer and more to Rockstar's classic school sim, shuts down a month after launch: 'This was not something we wanted'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  „The initial release was limited to people willing to pay for it“

  🙄

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Question about the Switch 2 port of Civilization VII: does it support multiple controllers for local multiplayer?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it‘s just an old PC term for turn-based games where you play multiplayer on the same machine with the same peripherals. Basically, you play your turn, get up, let the next player take the seat in front of the monitor, they do their turn, etc… Since not everyone is playing at the same time, you can play together by playing in succession. „Hotseat“ as in passing the seat in front of the PC around like in hot potato, I guess lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox 360 superfan amasses all 1,353 North American discs after two‑decade collection spree⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Playing them all? Absolutely doable. Beating them all? If that means getting to the credits, also doable but a lot more time consuming. 100% them all? Probably not even theoretically possible anymore but also very, very unlikely to happen regardless if he‘s got anything else to do.

  I think he just wanted to have them anyway, not play them all. Like all those 2k+ games steam libraries I see people have lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Horizon Zero Dawn

  Still not a fan. I find it very generic and soulless. Very pretty and robot dinosaurs but at the same time also very empty. One of those „find the colored ledge where the devs want you to climb - and nowhere else!“ games, had me run around a cliff a dozen times already. SPOILERS: That in the end they made an AI to fix extinction by AI to be screwed over by another AI again was funny tho lol. Anyway, gonna beat it now, I‘m basically at the end anyway, might as well. Forbidden West is practically off the table for me.

  Schedule I

  My gf wanted to try it so I said yes. What all the reviews don‘t tell you: If your connection is not top notch stable, the game loves to desync and eat your inventory without telling you at all. We had days where other games were fine but Schedule I would desync and/or dc every 2-5 minutes. When it works it‘s fun though. My gf loves cooking if you know what I mean.

  I keep chipping away at Octopath Traveler (chapter 3s) and Titan Quest (works criminally well on Deck for being stitched on gamepad support) on my Deck before bedtime.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rockstar still hasn’t dropped a solid explanation for cutting loose 30+ GTA 6 devs.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And this is the first/only thing they‘ve posted on here, so weird lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 538 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I enjoy this „about games“ content a lot more than the „behind games(/the scenes)“ stuff or self-promos, and OP usually keeps it digestible and doesn‘t turn it into an essay. Not missing a day has been insane as well obviously

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 535 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wishlister! Had no idea this existed lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Neon White

  I think I‘m almost done, minus the rushes. I kinda dread handing in all the gifts cause the dialogue‘s been pretty bad but I also kinda wanna read it now that I’ve collected them all lol

  SCARLET NEXUS

  I can‘t really recommend it. It runs kinda poor for essentially looking like a PS4 game and the game’s whole movement and combat feels insanely awkward and clunky. The story‘s ok but yeah. I like anime games but this one‘s a stinker in my book. The systems just aren‘t coming together.

  Deathloop

  I don‘t really have an opinion yet (outside of the game seemingly randomly enabling/disabling settings like vsync for me). I‘m still confused about most stuff and haven‘t found my groove yet. Dishonored‘s for sure better though. But this might be alright. We need more immersive sims honestly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam winter sale is live. What patient games are you picking up?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I seem to already have all the deep discounts I‘d be interested in… I currently only buy 80%+ discounts (if anything) since experience has taught me that anything lower than this will get there again very soon, so I’m not missing out by skipping now. I have like 200 untouched games anyway so I‘d probably just be throwing more on the pile… Gifts for friends are in the cart tho

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Should‘ve probably clarified that I was talking about AAA games, the big budget big asking price kind of. Indie games usually run great.
