- Comment on Gachapwned: How gacha MMOs drown us in progression and randomness | Massively Overpowered 6 days 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 2 weeks 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.

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' 5 weeks 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? 1 month 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 2 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 2 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.

- Comment on Ubi, it's $70 and people are vary of your mile wide puddles that drop 75% in price after half a year 2 months ago:
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 3 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.
- Comment on Magnus Carlsen: Chess champion quits FIDE tournament after being told to change jeans 5 months ago:
He cared the 100 other tournaments, and he would have cared if his first 2-3 days weren’t terrible and not be out of winning the tournament.
- Comment on Shower thought, traversal in open world games have turned from game mechanics to loading screens 8 months ago:
Holding forward during the loading screen is not better than being free to do anything.
Noone is against background loading. This is a given. People are against pseudo interaction.
- Comment on Telegram is exposing their users privacy. 8 months ago:
Guys like you see privacy as a monolith, that it never is. Unusable privacy is meanigless as email had shown. Privacy of communications does not mean privacy of communicators and usable authentication can be more important then anonymity.
And all this has to be realised on real-world servers, that are always in reach of real world goverment.
- Comment on I love diablo-likes, but they're also really annoying. 8 months ago:
Maybe look out for single player games?
Diablo-likes are not good, when the design team thinks about retention and game time instead of accessibilty.
Stuff like Van Hellsing, Victor Vran and other AA release are not about the grind.
Insteaf of 120 hours of PoE you can have 30-40hrs of 3 to 4 different diablo-likes a d I will tell you the difference is greater then within PoE.
