- Comment on Steam announces game recording beta. 4 days ago:
But how does the EGS exist?
Because they are able to subsidize it with investor as well as Fortnite money. I doubt it’s turned a profit for them.
Wouldn’t exactly call that “viable competition”
- Comment on Microsoft insiders worry the company has become just 'IT for OpenAI' 1 week ago:
Microsoft is having its IBM moment
- Comment on Star Trucker delivers its chill mix of Euro Truck Simulator and Freelancer onto Steam and Game Pass this September 2 weeks ago:
It’s nice to play something casual with something else playing in the background
- Comment on Apple limits third-party browser engine work to EU devices 1 month ago:
At least third party launchers are a thing on Android.
Though that isn’t an excuse for Google’s behaviour.
- Comment on New Teslas might lose Steam 1 month ago:
Perhaps not exclusively so, but it could’ve convinced some to choose a Tesla over other EV’s.
I guess Musk hadn’t yet fired enough people after closing their entire charging station division.
- Comment on Samsung mocks Apple’s crushing iPad Pro ad with its own ‘UnCrush’ pitch 1 month ago:
Remember when they made fun of the charger being removed?
Me neither.
- Comment on Microsoft Word just fixed its default paste option 1 month ago:
I made an autohotkey ctrl+shift+v script
- Comment on World’s First Hydrogen-Powered Superyacht Embodies Eco-Conscious Luxury 1 month ago:
Yeah… Germany has so much renewable energy they’re bringing coal plants back online.
Good guy Norway on the renewables though. Definitely not one of the largest crude oil exporters either.
- Comment on CachyOS gets experimental handheld edition for ROG Ally, Lenovo Legion GO and Steam Deck (soon) 1 month ago:
Rock liver here, what happened?
- Comment on Xbox Reportedly Debating Putting Call Of Duty On Game Pass Alongside Price Hike 1 month ago:
I doubt I’ll stick around if it gets more expensive. Price hikes were inevitable, I guess. It was good while it lasted.
- Comment on The Witcher 3's REDkit mod tools launch May 21st, enabling a new era of ambitious overhauls 1 month ago:
I keep avoiding RPS links for that reason.
Oh, you want to withdraw consent? Have fun disabling them separately for each individual partner.
- Comment on Kagi silently removed all references to Google's index from their website 1 month ago:
This video by TechAltar is great and goes into why Bing/Google are often the backend for alternative search engines, such as DDG (Bing), Ecosia (Bing), and Startpage (Google).
- Comment on HELLDIVERS 2 sees over 130K bad reviews on Steam as Sony double down 1 month ago:
How do you mean, Halo is already on PC?
And the issue isn’t the account linking in and of itself, but this being a sudden requirement after the game has already come out and people have already purchased the game.
On top of that: PlayStation accounts are unavailable in many countries where this game has already been sold. Where it may have been a deal-breaker for some, others will effectively be locked out if no change to the policy is made.
Either way, adding this requirement after already having sold the game is ridiculous.

Better than leaving the barn wide open
- Comment on IBM Buys HashiCorp To Control The Alternative To Red Hat Kubernetes 2 months ago:
It’s pretty common for companies to buy up their competitors
Capitalism “competition drives innovation” at its finest
- Comment on PUBG, the game that Fortnite copied, copies Fortnite by bringing back the battle royale shooter’s original map 2 months ago:
Nor did PUBG invent battle royale
- Comment on Discord Users Are Being Tracked Through Data-Scraping Site 2 months ago:
Yeah but generally it’s unfeasible to find out every (public) server a particular user is in, now you can just search for them.
It, at the very least, lowers the barrier to stalking by a lot.
- Comment on Google mocks Epic’s proposed reforms to end Android app market monopoly 2 months ago:
Updates specifically, initial install still gives the pop-up.
- Comment on Critically acclaimed Dragon's Dogma 2 hits "mostly negative" on Steam after players raze it for microtransactions 3 months ago:
Also, now that I’ve seen it; these feel a lot more egregious. There are ones for reviving your NPC teammates (once).
- Comment on Critically acclaimed Dragon's Dogma 2 hits "mostly negative" on Steam after players raze it for microtransactions 3 months ago:
Regardless, if people don’t make a stink things won’t go back and most likely will get even worse.
So, I say, good on them.
- Comment on In Cringe Video, OpenAI CTO Says She Doesn’t Know Where Sora’s Training Data Came From 3 months ago:
What a delightful and helpful attitude.
- Comment on In Cringe Video, OpenAI CTO Says She Doesn’t Know Where Sora’s Training Data Came From 3 months ago:
True, but if those same people they’re not supposed to be friends with are the ones inviting them to those events/granting them early access…
In other words: the system is rigged.
- Comment on Stardew Valley creator confirms harvesting in a certain direction is faster - but not for long, as 1.6 fix due 3 months ago:
Buffing certainly has this place, don’t get me wrong. But recently there seems to have been this narrative about how developers should only buff, never nerf; which is blatantly not true. A narrative the original comment seemed to be feeding into and I wanted to call out.
- Comment on Stardew Valley creator confirms harvesting in a certain direction is faster - but not for long, as 1.6 fix due 3 months ago:
“Nerfing” can make a game better.
While it may not apply in this case, telling developers to only buff and never nerf can break the balance of a game.
- Comment on Halo Infinite Update to Bring Networking Overhaul, Easy Anti-Cheat, and More Next Week 3 months ago:
They need admin permissions to install, not to launch.
But, you know, so does basically any other application you install.
- Comment on Reddit: Return Of The Junk Stock IPO 3 months ago:
Recently I stumbled on Relay, still going strong with a subscription model (because API fees).
That said, I refuse to return to that platform.
- Comment on Former Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Director Forms New Studio, Giant Skull, To Create Action-Adventure Game In Unreal Engine 5 3 months ago:
The third Jedi game is still in development.
The single player star wars FPS got canned though
- Comment on Microsoft now permits uninstalling Edge, Bing, and OneDrive to adhere to the EU's Digital Markets Act. 3 months ago:
I mean, yeah. Mostly same. New regulations like these are good and I’d wish for them to continue this course. Continuing to observe the market and adding new regulations where new exploits pop up.
But that is not the kind of person I’m referring to.
- Comment on is this the moment spez became Heisenberg? Reddit CEO warns users: "We know your dark secrets' 3 months ago:
Same IP address(es), same OS/browser/app, same configuration? Easy match.
