- Comment on Industry murmurs suggest Sony will no longer release PS5 exclusives on PC — New leadership might be willing to forgo PC revenue to fortify console platform 5 hours ago:
Sony doesn’t want my money? Okay lol.
Admittedly I wasn’t buying Sony PC releases new, (Because backlog) but I still have like 5ish of them and I can see the number of reviews they get on Steam so I know they’re making a good chunk of change well before my patient ass.

1:1 odds the customs person had no clue what a floppy disc was.

“People hate it when we force copilot and AI stuff on them, what should we do? Folks hate it so much they’re actively leaving our OS!”
“Okay, hear me out: Add more.”

There’s Zorro Ranch, which purportedly has bodies buried under the pickleball court.

The Island was bought by a billionaire at a deep discount, which makes sense really www.capradio.org/news/npr/story?storyid=117395690…
fair amount of others that havent been as newsworthy en.wikipedia.org/…/Properties_of_Jeffrey_Epstein
- Comment on Be Wary of Bluesky 6 days ago:
He also left Bluesky in 2024 after it didn’t become the libertarian techbro wankfest he envisioned and was instead heavily populated by folks who didn’t want to slob Elon’s knob.
- Comment on Is £70 becoming harder to justify? The rise of cheaper blockbuster games 1 week ago:
I’ve got 150 games in my backlog. I am happy to wait a year or longer until a hundred dollar buggy piece of shit game becomes a polished, discounted 25 dollar game.

They can, they just remember what they did when their parents banned something when they were a kid.

- Comment on Is Reddit banning posts with "join-lemmy.org"? 1 week ago:
Could be, but the thing to keep in mind is where you’re posting. It could be the reddit site, or it could be mods of a particular subreddit doing it via automod rules. If you have a subreddit you mod, post it there and see what happens, as removal by automod and removal by reddit are clearly notated differently both on the comment and in the modlog.

Skyrim ass meal. need a wheel of cheese with it.
- Comment on Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers. 2 weeks ago:
I came up on pads for everything, and still do it for stuff like the Arkhams, Silksong, and various forms of platformer, but FPS? Once you’ve mouse aimed, the joypad just feels clunky.
- Comment on Yakuza Kiwami 3 director says actor accused of sexual assault was cast for his “slimy feel” 2 weeks ago:
yeah sure okay
- Comment on Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia? 2 weeks ago:
Thing is, replicator food works from standard sets. Think of it like getting McDonalds. You get Maccas in the U.K.? Tastes like McD’s in Japan or Korea or India. It gets tiresome. Hence why they have Neelix, Guinan, or Quark running bars, kitchens, or lounges to put the human (Well… you know what I mean.) touch on things.
So yeah, deffo wish my biggest problem was my unlimited sauvignon blanc was only 8/10 so I decided to take up winemaking as a hobby to try and one up it.
- Comment on Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia? 2 weeks ago:
I always figured that some folks are writing, reading, arting, or farminf, and then theres dudes using the replicator to make dank space weed or the holodeck to get blowie joeys from helen of troy.

Hey now, some of them could have not read it because of a paywall at the time too.
- Comment on The rich oppose clean energy because it is renewable. If clean energy became non renewable, or fossil fuels became renewable, they would no longer oppose a transition to clean energy technology 3 weeks ago:
Changing your business model costs money and carries some inherent risk, and businesses hate risk. Its why theres so many sequels, spinoffs, and adaptions in theaters. Sure they could fund more Sinners’… but Fast and the Furious 35: Wheelchair Wheelies has a guaranteed audience.

- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 3 weeks ago:
If they didn’t have fortnite and unreal engine money propping them up it would have closed by now. Hasn’t been profitable since it opened in 2018.
- Comment on Legal action over 'unfair' Steam game store prices given go ahead 3 weeks ago:
IIRC Gog takes 30% but not sure we can count them owing to what they distribute.
The only actual competitor store (i.e. not reselling steam keys) at present is Epic with its 88/12 split after a million in sales, and as far as I know it hasn’t been profitable since it opened in 2018, despite straight up giving away product and buying exclusives to try and build a base, so not really the best argument.
Obligatory LOL if we’re going to note either the EA or Ubisoft stores in this discussion. MS probably falls into that pile too but tbh haven’t looked into them much.
- Comment on Legal action over 'unfair' Steam game store prices given go ahead 3 weeks ago:
Yes, they have a good interface, but they take a ludicrous portion of game revenue.
They take the same cut as Microsft, EA, Nintendo, Google, Apple, Sony, and more. You wanna argue 30% is excessive? I agree, but Steam isn’t an outlier here. At least Steam has enough extra shit they do for devs to make that 30% almost feel worth it.
- Comment on Satya Nadella insists people are using Microsoft’s Copilot AI a lot 4 weeks ago:
I’d believe him more if it was opt in and very clearly let folks know.
