- Comment on Microsoft starts rolling out Gaming Copilot on Windows 11 PCs 22 hours ago:
Well, first I’m not “that lot”, been using Windows since 1997 and will continue to do so because my line of work.
But, I think you can see what’s going on with Android over Google, where there’s not so much “versions” around.
- Comment on Microsoft starts rolling out Gaming Copilot on Windows 11 PCs 1 day ago:
Yesterday I’ve installed Bazzite (as a dual boot) for the first time. As a long time Windows user, Steam Deck convinced me lots of previous problems are solved now.
It’s the first ever I’ve installed a Linux Desktop distro willingly. And so far it’s working very, very smoothly even with my complex set of hardware.
WINDOWS USERS: Installling Bazzite is very, very easy. All you need is a some disk space, and a 16gb USB stick. You won’t lose any of your Windows data - even you don’t need to re-download any Steam game! Your Windows library will plug-in easily into Linux Steam.
Follow this guide and you’ll be grand: youtu.be/JxPsKhJGTrs

I don’t know what to feel about “AI is gonna burst” is the new clickbait title for… like a few months now.
- Comment on A lot of people make the mistake of thinking they have real life plot armour 6 days ago:
So, it may seem like tragedies happen just to other people.
Of course you are the protagonist of your life, but the chances are, you’re still “other people” to other people.

So how did your experience is going with lenses? Do they help you with self-diagnosing so far?
- Comment on How Do I Validate My Game Idea? (Please Help) 2 weeks ago:
Well…
One thing is you can’t know if a ‘game idea’ is a good one before battle test it.
On one hand it’s similar to writing a book or shooting a movie. Sometimes most mundane narratives have something that ‘clicks’, making it a hit. And sometimes most interesting ones have bad execution, to become instant failures.
On the other hand, of course there are some understanding about ‘what is entertaining’ and ‘how to make things fun’. There are lots of discovered rules, tropes, approaches that worked so far. Like, Game of Thrones books always meant to be a cash cow TV series, and you see traces of almost all the rules that makes a book a good TV material. So there are many sources about narrative and game design that can guide you through your journey.
Of course the concepts discussed in these sources aren’t definitive and open to interpretation. But they helped me dearly exploring ideas and increase the value of gamers experiences.
Some I can recommend are,
-
Art of Game Design (Jesse Schell): It comes with a deck of cards which is very valuable for self-feedbacking.
-
The Game Narrative Toolbox
-
How Games Move Us
So one thing I must press here, is that there’s no relation between how ‘good’ your game is and how much it sells. One giant problem the industry’s passing through is ‘discoverability’

- Comment on Hands-On: Borderlands 4 wants you to forget Borderlands 3 ever happened 2 weeks ago:
Excellent?.. Well, your experience might be different but I just checked, even though I clocked way more at BL3, I don’t remember an inch about it. I remember lots of details and fun moments about BL1 and BL2 though.

It doesn’t have Hot Seat either. I instantly refunded when I realized that. How the hell a Civ game have multiplayer but not hot seat?
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 2 weeks ago:
The peak of my career also was definitely when we crashed Steam for a few hours during our EA launch - even though the Steam devs were prepared.
I’m also really happy that Silksong is getting so much love from players. The team behind it truly seems to deserve it.

- Comment on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle™: The Order of Giants - Launch Trailer 4 weeks ago:
It was a surprisingly decent game which kept up its quality until the end. Devs could able to capture Indiana Jones feeling all around. I’m sure DLC would be fine again.

Keep your hopes down. The project has been restarted 4 times and lastly handed over to a small studio in a turmoil with no experience in the genre.

- Comment on Steam payment headaches grow as PayPal is no longer usable for much of the world: Valve hopes to bring it back in the future, 'but the timeline is uncertain' 5 weeks ago:
Gift cards is ab obvious way to bypass regional pricing, so a low-income country like mine could get more harm than good (as in fraud increases and the storefront gives up ın regional pricing from that point on).
Also, when convenience of online shopping is lost, why would I bother wearing my shoes and get out to sun to purchase a gift card, while I can buy a physical copy of the game instead?
- Comment on OpenAI will not disclose GPT-5’s energy use. It could be higher than past models 5 weeks ago:
I’m almost sure they’re keeping that for the Earnings call.
- Comment on OpenAI will not disclose GPT-5’s energy use. It could be higher than past models 5 weeks ago:
I’m thinking otherwise. I think GPT5 is a much smaller model with some fallback to previous models when needed.
Since it’s running on the exact same hardware with a mostly similar algorithm, using less energy would directly mean it’s a “less intense” model, which translates into an inferior quality in Americanish.

So you’re not asking for Linux support, but custom dedicated server support?

Linux users are no users if a game is brimming with cheaters. Who the fuck plays a competitive multiplayer game full of cheaters only because it runs on Linux?
