Well now there is a dedicated post. Yours. 😄
- Comment on Cassette Beasts - Multiplayer Update Now Live! 5 weeks ago:
If only it was bigger… Honestly that the only bad thing I can say about the game, the rest is perfect.
- Comment on Hades 2 will likely be in early access until 2025, with first big update to add new enemies, maps and features 5 weeks ago:
Supergiant is probably the only studio I’d still buy an early access from, even day one. Even when I end up not liking it that much (like Pyre), it is interesting enough to be worth the asking price.
To this day, Hades is still my most played game on the Switch (I even managed to get a physical copy), and I will probably do the same with Hades II… Maybe on the Switch 2, who knows 😆.

Meh

- Comment on ASUS breaks your ROG Ally if you don't pay $200 for warranty repairs: SCAMMING COMPANY! 1 month ago:
My own experience with Asus warranty was of utter incompetence.
It was a long time ago, around 10 years or so, and I sent a newly acquired laptop for repairs because of constants BSOD. Waited a month before getting it back… Without sound. Turn out they forgot to reconnect the sound card. I sent it back for repair, waited another month (because even if they are at fault, they won’t even fast track that repair), only to get it back with a nonfunctional touchpad. I don’t use it, so I didn’t send it back a third time, because who know what would have come back damaged that time.
So their repair woes aren’t recent. When their stuff works, it works well, but pray that you won’t need to RMA it.

Because everyone (including most devs, myself included until some month ago) think that px = pixels, which is not.
When he says that the minimum is 800x600, it is most likely talking about px and not pixels.
- Comment on Which is the best WiFi 7 adapter: Intel vs Qualcomm 1 month ago:
If I recall well it is the no-vPro ones that works, but currently there is a bug on AMD systems that prevent the BE200 to work. Windows already got a partial fix, but not Linux.
- Comment on Which is the best WiFi 7 adapter: Intel vs Qualcomm 1 month ago:
Intel wifi 7 chip currently do not work with an AMD CPU on Linux. Qualcomm does work with a manual blob pull, but drop under load.
- Comment on Tesla is being investigated by the DOJ for securities and wire fraud by making misleading self-driving claims 1 month ago:
The miniature is god tier. 🤣
- Comment on corru.observer 1 month ago:
That because the measurements used in web browser, “px”, doesn’t mean “screen pixels”.
According to the W3 website :
“The
px
unit is defined to be small but visible, and such that a horizontal 1px wide line can be displayed with sharp edges (no anti-aliasing). What is sharp, small and visible depends on the device and the way it is used: do you hold it close to your eyes, like a mobile phone, at arms length, like a computer monitor, or somewhere in between, like an e-book reader? Thepx
is thus not defined as a constant length, but as something that depends on the type of device and its typical use.”So a very high definition smartphone can be seen as being less than 800(px)x600(px), depending on its screen size and aspect ratio, while still being 4k or more.
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 1 month ago:
Considering they allow to install application on the bios command (Armory Crate, that kind of shit), consider it already done.

As is my imaginary girlfriend.
- Comment on [OC] I (For real) remastered all of Starcraft's Terran themes. What game music should I remaster next? 2 months ago:
That’s indeed how I view this rule as a mod. Self promotion is ok, “excessive” self promotion isn’t. I’m aware it is a bit vague, maybe we should explain it better on the sidebar to avoid unnecessary conflict. I’ll bring it up on the moderation Discord.
But to make it clearer, my opinion on the matter is that excessive self-promotion amount to the following cases :
- Making multiple post about the same topic, multiples time is a shortish amount of time. Like posting once, then reposting the following day if your topic didn’t get as much traction as you’d have wished
- Promoting things for monetary gains (sponsored links, etc.) without first disclosing it. As an example, I removed a service offering a backgammon online platform, I first removed the first topic in order to make sure it was legit, which it seems to have been, not a ads/virus ridden website, which it wasn’t, and not paid, which it didn’t seem to be. As they happened to have made a new post in the meantime, I did not restore the first one, but did not remove the second one.
Of course that’s my opinion of the rules, the other mods may have a different opinion on the matter. I try my best to find a balance in my decisions.

- Comment on "Top 10 Upcoming Video Games That Will Dominate April" 2 months ago:
I know “Top X Games” is a kind of article we grew to hate due to how they often are just ripoffs, straight copy-paste from the latest AAA release Steam pages or press releases (and thus falling under Rule 4, no low-effort posts), but this don’t seem to be the case here.
The games are mostly new indie games, except Sea of Thieves, and some of them looks quite interesting to me.The post is allowed for the time being, while we discuss about its fate on the mod Discord.

I have to agree. The choice is terrible.
- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb 2 months ago:
Maybe not. Like every new format, Flatpak probably had some rough edges at first, and a software as complex as Steam must have been a nightmare to convert. It was probably broken at first, but it was probably enough for some to consider it as unredeemable.
- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb 2 months ago:
After many years playing on the Flatpaked Steam, I’m yet to see any problem.
- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb 2 months ago:
You could try the Flatpak version. At least your OS will be clean, and the only 32-bits parts will be inside the flatpak runtimes.

The rules are the rules.
They were collectively written to keep conversation as non-toxic as possible. If you wish to change them, feel free to create a topic on the matter.
In the meantime, my work is to upheld them. - Comment on How A Small Video Game Narrative Studio Wound Up At The Heart Of A Massive, Anti-Woke Conspiracy Theory - Aftermath 3 months ago:
Then he deserves his downvotes, not your insults.
- Comment on How A Small Video Game Narrative Studio Wound Up At The Heart Of A Massive, Anti-Woke Conspiracy Theory - Aftermath 3 months ago:
In an ideal world, yes.
But unfortunately these days people prefer to follow blindly their bias and people validating said bias instead of investing the time required to investigate by their own mean, with least biased sources.
I’d blame social medias that make everything quasi instantaneous, but it is just a component of a whole, not the only cause. - Comment on Physical or Digital? 3 months ago:
I often buy physical for games I know I’ll like, for the rest, mostly digital.
When I end up liking a specific digitally bought game a lot, I try to buy a physical copy as an “archive” copy, in the case the store shuts down. An example would be Hades, which I bought digital, and ended up buying a switch physical copy from Limited Run Games.

Transistor too, from the same studio.

I’ll also add Celeste to the list, amazing OST, lovable characters, but damn, it is hard ! But that’s because I play it at the default settings, you can change them all, even getting immortal if you just want to enjoy the story itself.
