- Comment on 'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives 6 days ago:
For people that don’t like Discord, this change does probably nothing. I only start it when I need it. I do basic communication,I don’t buy anything and I don’t follow 18+ content.
For all purposes this change just decreases the likelihood of accidentally seeing pr0n.
- Comment on Meta progression in roguelites was fun for a while, but it's starting to feel unrewarding 1 week ago:
You describe while I can play Diabolo II hardcore, but get bored of ‘rogue-lites’ that have 30min or 1h loops.
You can always do solo self found for the “true” challange or do selffound for different experience.
The character is only reliant on itself and the stuff you find/farm. The “side-grade” comes from finding build-enabling uniques.
- Comment on As player numbers fall, Highguard makes the actually-quite-good 5v5 mode permanent 1 week ago:
Highguard has an art style that is primarily concerned with selling cosmetics instead of delivering a hopefully unique vision.
Highguard, Finals, and many more have this “everything goes” therefore nothing matters style.
It’s a call sign, that Deadlocks beta-design on old heroes has more vision.
It although shows, that hero shooters are not at the end possibilities.
- Comment on 'Go Back and Play Morrowind and Tell Me That's the Game You Want to Play Again' — Former Bethesda Veteran Delivers His Verdict on Potential The Elder Scrolls Remasters - IGN 2 weeks ago:
A friend of mine does this monthly. He has invested more time in MW than my group of friends in FO4 and Starfield.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 director agrees with No Rest for the Wicked lead that Early Access is "a positive thing" for games like their two RPGs – when it works 2 weeks ago:
“when it works” does a lot of heavy lifting. Like “too much” it describe post-action moment.
- Comment on Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task – MIT Media Lab 3 weeks ago:
The medium is the massage, more true than ever.
- Comment on Ubisoft target audience when they play a good game 4 weeks ago:
I expected a really bad take, but this is not it. HL2 has strength, but the story is not it. It’s okay, but I want you to remember that the ending of HL2 is just not good - neither to ‘boss fight’ nor the deus ex machina ending.
Even the gameplay gets boring when you have the “op” gravity gun.
I prefer HL1 to HL2. The physics riddles are not hard either and I think Stratholm is only “horror” for people with no xp in Survival Horror games.

- Comment on The Knightling Did Everything Right - It Still Struggled to Sell | Beyond the Pixels Podcast 1 month ago:
99.9% of all games are useless to an individual, whem steam can get 10% correct, when you do close to no cooperation, this is an achievement.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 month ago:
The question is, if having better for-loop completion the same as “create this feature”.
- Comment on What free to play games can run smoothly on my old laptop? 1 month ago:
I would take a look at Warframe.

I like the gameplay and it ran on every hardware.
- Comment on Where do you all get your (indie) gaming news from? 1 month ago:
Comment section of AA or AAA gaming news in r/games or r/pcgaming
I have a good track record with
“if you are interested in past AAA game like X, look at small y” comments from “decently acting” users
- Comment on 'It's not a clone of D:OS2': 6 big takeaways from our interview with Larian after the reveal of Divinity 1 month ago:
Yes cursed grounds was such an awful experience. I actually like the ground effect combat otherwise, in DS1 and 2.
Source Points have phoenix feather effect.
- Comment on Elder Scrolls Online devs detail “inhumane” Microsoft layoffs as Xbox expects the “carcass of workers” to “keep shipping award-winning games” 6 months ago:
Longterm is for suckers - nu management is fast and loose - they break things - preferable good work environment.
- Comment on Might be time to find another job 7 months ago:
We have to label things so they can gwt eaten. We literally have a “this is communist milk, it’s for everyone”.
- Comment on Overwatch 2 slaps 7 months ago:
My first question: Did they change the gun play?
Because that feeling I got from OW gun play was “spammy, unsatisfying, boring” either in kill time, movement or timing.
The weapons are simple, but you don’t get the arena gameplay of map control, ammunition control and weapon cycling of arena shooters.
A single weapon is not complex to use as a weapon in CS or DirtyBomb.
To be honest Dirty bomb does health and ammo management better.
Everything I hear sounds good, but I never heared them fixing guna.
- Comment on Gachapwned: How gacha MMOs drown us in progression and randomness | Massively Overpowered 8 months ago:
Diablo 1 is at fault - and Diablo 2 the first kingpin. Even without progression tabs people were grinding and hoping for the High rune.
What’s kinda funny is thw fact buying progression (i.e. Items and runes) on thoses ‘illegal’ sites was more reasonable in price.
The only danger the current iteration of f2p games has, is the graphical fidelity.
In other aspects premium games are still better. We just need to teach the new generation, that there is more than f2p.
- Comment on Germany Is Using AI to Erase Pro-Palestinian Speech 8 months ago:
Why do you want to be evem more wrong? Neither the state nor the collective of German people do want the headline implies. It’s a group of people doing it under the <freedom> of science concept. People are to US-triggered and believe every state does day2day politics like Trump.
- Comment on ‘Elden Ring’ Movie in the Works From ’Civil War’ Director Alex Garland, A24 8 months ago:
Doing Edge of Tomorrow style Progression where one actor plays different classes and steadily progresses could be an option. Explore the world from a changing perspective.

Didnt the John Wick movies usee the role effect? Using this one to introduce the dodge role would be funny.

The Hoper Mario is something - it’s so off the rails, that it’s crusing on anothet track.
- Comment on Even Starfield's community patch modders are growing 'disenchanted' with the sci-fi RPG, as volunteers depart in droves: 'If nobody comes forward, we may have to retire the project' 9 months ago:
The other person literally said Oblivion is good despite the engine being 80% gamebryo. Don’t write like AI and ignore context. The stuff that is really bad in Starfield is the design philosophy of autogenerated content. This is entirely different from the engine choice.
- Comment on Does the 2 hour refund limit on Steam affect game design? 9 months ago:
Yeah, the theory if front-loaded design is just reality of game development reality. No, D2 Ac4 wasn’t limited because of rentals - it was bad,because one year of crunch and still nit enough time does this to a product.
Halo1 last third is bad, because they did not have enough time, nit because they cared about rentals.
Game content dev generally starts at the beginning.
- Comment on HELP! Im looking for a game like CIV 6 where the point is to go to war 9 months ago:
This makes no tactical sense. If a player is losing, they will do everything to stop it. Alliances are part of it.
- Comment on 'There Are So Few Of Us Left': Even Full-Time Games Journalists At Big Websites Are Feeling It In 2025 10 months ago:
Video Game Jounalism missed the step to professional, independent work. Either by work ethic or by an industry playing the consumer and being outside of legislatives eye.
Like how can a honest, self-paying journalist compete in marketing and access to sources, when companies can blacklist them and at the same time allow exclusive time and content access to willful pawns? - and google and consumers support it.

To tell a story history is not binding. It neither a lack of skill or imagination - it’s an intended. What you have shown is a lack of understanding of the art of telling a story.
- Comment on In psychotherapists vs. ChatGPT showdown, the latter wins, new study finds 11 months ago:
Patients explaining they liked what they heared - not if it is correct or relevant to the cause. There is not even a pipeline for escalation, because AIs don’t think.
