I’m here, so I’m more likely to know who that is or what he looks like. But I don’t. I do now because you mentioned him and I looked up how he looks like. Your average Joe is gonna be even less likely to know who that is or what he looks like. So I’m guessing that’s why. Some CEOs just avoid the spotlight. Or maybe I’ve just been avoiding MS news, dunno
- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 4 days ago:
I often use cheats to remove grindy and boring bits beyond a certain point. Usually the difficulty curve is pretty bad and a game is only hard in the beginning. So I play as intended until I reach a point at which it’s just a matter of time and not skill. So I just give myself a ton of crafting mats or currency or whatever so I can focus on the fun and interesting parts of the game.

- Comment on Path of Exile 2: Dawn of the Hunt Gameplay Trailer 1 week ago:
Ah, I see. Fait enough. Personally I enjoyed it. No point in making a different game just to have better graphics. PoE 1 is still there for those that don’t like the new one… and I’m looking forward to alternating between the 2, if they manage to find the pace which they promised.

What makes the first 70 levels not fun for you?
- Comment on Best game ever? 2 weeks ago:
This again? Anyway, sure… Tetris or doom for importance. Not really the best. That goes to rdr2 for being one of the best selling games of all time while also being almost universally loved. Not my personal favourite game, but objectively speaking, the title should go to rdr2, I think
- Comment on One-handed games? 2 weeks ago:
So left hand only games… driving games should work(enjoying NFS heat, atm), turn based games and isometric RPGs (plenty of those, depends on preferences… Balatro, slay the spire, XCOM, disco Elysium, etc… I could make a list if needed).
Telltale games like the wolf among us and stuff Vampire survivors and all the similar games (halls of torment, soulstone survivors, etc)

Michael Mando aka Nacho Varga from better call Saul. Guy needs to be in more stuff. He’s fun to watch for sure.
- Comment on Gaming has a polarization problem 4 weeks ago:
The only problem is that people are idiots, especially online. Go to any comment section and you’ll find people angry at the content, no matter what the content is. And you’re taking them seriously, for some reason. Laugh at them and move on, no more polarization problem. As you’ve said, 77% of people enjoyed avowed. Probably even more, as people are a lot more likely to leave a bad review than a good one.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, you got me. I totally said that.

Yup. I’m fine with bg3 being considered a shit game. That’s an opinion and everyone can not like it. But it’s silly to label it something that it’s not. Something that’s more or less measurable . Like pretending the sky is green or something. Makes no sense.

My thoughts exactly when I read your list of “deeper” games. What exactly can you do in kingdom come that BG doesn’t allow you, for example?
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer 4 weeks ago:
Guess we just have a different definition of deep then if you feel like those games give you more options than bg3.

Can you give some examples of games that give more freedom than that? Because as the other person said, ff7 is not one of those. And I too am curious because I love those kinds of games.
- Comment on Facebook Cybertruck Owners Group Copes With Relentless Mockery 5 weeks ago:
Hey, so I’ve got no horse in this race and also not a native English speaker so please bear with me.
To me the op’s statement sounds ironic, but not really a projection. According to google, to project is to unconsciously attribute your thoughts/feelings onto someone else. Like if you’re having an argument and you’re losing and as a self defense you claim that the other party is angry and or unreasonable or whatever.
In this case the cybertruck owner says the guy shaming him should be shamed. He doesn’t realise that it’s him who should feel shame, so it’s ironic.
Am I missing something? Or was it all just some joke and I’m just overthinking it?
- Comment on Favorite Racing Game Soundtrack? 5 weeks ago:
That’s why I think they’re great. Good standalone songs put in a fitting context.
Bought and played NFS heat recently. Game was surprisingly good, music, however had too much hip-hop/pop and stuff like that for my taste so that was disappointing.

NFS underground or most wanted.

- Comment on For No Reason in Particular Here's a Bunch of Games Where You Kill Nazis 2 months ago:
Yeah, I know, I’ve played it a few years ago. Was pretty fun. I’ve always been into stealth and games. Commandos 2 and hitman codename 47 being some of my favourite games for kid me.
I was actually surprised to realise that I’ve played everything on the list except for the Indiana Jones (which I’ve downloaded but I haven’t got around to playing yet) and the captain America games.
- Comment on For No Reason in Particular Here's a Bunch of Games Where You Kill Nazis 2 months ago:
This is the first game list article where I’ve read anything beyond the titles of the games. And it was worth it. Thanks for the share!

Which part was confusing? The only major difference iirc was the districts mechanic, wasn’t it? Was that the issue?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Nah, just… future of Roblox and Fortnite is not synonymous with the future of gaming. Yes, those are huge games with tons of revenue, but it’s not all of gaming. Traditional gaming isn’t going anywhere.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
The article is about Roblox and Fortnite not gaming as a whole. Is there a ton of money in those games? Yes. Is that the future of all gaming? No.

- Comment on Bears Cave 5 months ago:
You remember wrong. It just means “of rome” and it’s that because it was a roman province. There’s a difference between “of rome” which is what “român” means and “the true descendants of Rome” which is what you’re claiming. We’ve never claimed to be more Roman than Italians or anything. That’d be stupid.
- Comment on Bears Cave 5 months ago:
We’ve never claimed that.

Plus, drummer is always more fit than the rest cause of the effort required to play. Seems like a bad idea all around.
- Comment on smart engineering 5 months ago:
No, the joke wouldn’t have been as funny if it said “scammer” instead of “smart engineer”. Plus, I think it’s more a jab at engineers rather than anything. Because most would rather argue/explain the whole 10 vs 11 thing than just go "ok, sure, I can do that " and get paid.
