It grew because it was the only platform that did it.
If you want views, you have to go where the viewers are. Current alternatives are sorely lacking.
If you want the smaller platforms to grow, you do need to post there, but ignoring the existing giant won’t get you seen unfortunately. At the very least, you should do both.
- Comment on ARC Raiders | Launch Trailer 1 week ago:
I never played Tarkov, but it always seemed a little too heavy for me. And the cheating issues everyone seems to be complaining about, and the issues people have been having with the devs, it all put me off from playing it.
The reviews I’ve seen for ARC Raiders said that the game was doing a lot of things right, but everything could be a little better. One of them called it something like “pleasantly mediocre” which isn’t awful, but also doesm’t sound like a resounding endorsement.
If I find some people to play with, I may pick it up. It’s not the kind of game I want to grind solo or play with randos, but it looks like a hood time.

Has anyone played this yet? I watched a stream of it, and it looked decent, but reviews have described it as quite mediocre.
- Comment on GOG asking for more donations from gamers with the new GOG Patrons program 2 weeks ago:
While Heroic is nice, it would be even better if GOG themselves put some effort into supporting Linux, as they do sell Linux native games.
- Comment on GOG asking for more donations from gamers with the new GOG Patrons program 2 weeks ago:
GOG only supports cloud saves for Windows games. It’s not a Heroic issue.

Depending on the universe, he may have designed his own web shooters and webs that are incredibly strong and also dissolve on their own in a matter of hours. He should become a materials engineer.

- Comment on Palworld dev Pocketpair, famous for making wholly original games, won't publish your game if it uses generative AI 2 weeks ago:
The title is tongue-in-cheek about Pocketpair, since they’ve been accused of using AI to basically rip off Pokemon designs.
There’s no proof one way or the other, but their stance, if it’s legitimate, is respectable.

I’ve definitely played through the game multiple times in a row on just those three lives. You gain more lives at certain score levels anyway. If you play through the entire game without dying, you’ll have around 10 lives left. And if you sit through the credits, the game continues from the beginning, only it gets harder after every loop. After 4 or 5 consecutive runs, the basic enemies that usually just run and jump actually start shooting at you.

Bonk’s Adventure for PC Engine/Turbo Grafx 16 was the game that sold that console. It’s brightly colored, has fun graphics and large sprites, and easy to pick up. It’s pretty easy, and not very long, but it’s quite fun. Also since the controllers on that console had a built-in switch to enable turbo on the buttons, the game is built with that in mind. The sequels were released after 1990, but are also quite fun and each add something to the previous games.

NES Contra is spot on for controls. Just picking it up for the first time, it’s so responsive and the movement feels good pretty much immediately. The arcade version of the game had weird jumping movement that feels clunky, but the NES version just feels so much better. It’s also not as hard as its reputation makes it out to be.

- Comment on Is it possible to 3D scan a motorcycle helmet and make smaller replicas? 1 month ago:
It’s definitely possible. Depending on the budget, you can take the helmet to a professional that does 3D fabrication.
I’d say the first step should be to find a local maker space and see if anyone there can help you. Most will have 3d printers, and some might have 3d scanners. If they don’t, maybe someone there personally owns one.

Why do kids like you always have to make things generational??
The irony of this question is painful.
You just complained about what younger people do, and then you complained about being called out for it bevause someone “made it generational.”
You made it generational.

I don’t know if it was in 1.0 but definitely before the final version. I tried it before 1.666 was around and chose to play keyboard only.

Mouselook was an option, but since the engine didn’t have any options for looking up and down, it always felt weird to play with a mouse.

You can get map markers very early into the game. Basically from the first time you meet the mapmaker some 30 minutes into the game.

- Comment on Uh Oh: Nintendo Just Landed A ‘Summoning’ And ‘Battling’ Patent 1 month ago:
Patent laws in Japan don’t work the same way as they do in most of the world. And they can only enforce their patent on companies operating in Japan.
The whole Palworld situation was based on patents that Nintendo only applied for after Palworld was already released.
- Comment on Despite cutting the gags, Borderlands 4's PC specs say it still needs 100GB of SSD space 1 month ago:
It’s not. The size of the game isn’t the limiting factor.
Anecdotally, I played Horizon Forbidden West on PS4 and occasionally got loading screens while out and about in the open world. I assume the HDD was the cause of this.
