- Comment on Balatro - Friends of Jimbo (Pack 2) | Reveal Trailer 3 weeks ago:
I have it on both and they’re pretty much identical. Having buttons available can be sorta nice for specific actions, but on the other hand a phone is easier to carry around. Both are great with minor pros and cons.
- Comment on Advertisers plan to withdraw from X in record numbers | CNN Business 2 months ago:
Is there a list of companies still showing ads there? I will gladly avoid them all.
- Comment on Is assasin's creed origins good? 2 months ago:
Yeah maybe it was petty but I don’t think it was unwarranted. Every other comment so far was an exact clone of “It’s alright” so I figured I’d add a unique perspective to the conversation.
I will never be guilt tripped into speaking out against a company who engages in shitty practices, but nice try.
- Comment on Is assasin's creed origins good? 2 months ago:
I don’t know, I refuse to play Ubisoft games.
- Comment on Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people? 2 months ago:
There’s a game on Kickstarter called Outbound. It’s in alpha access right now.
The game looks like it’s literally Raft in a camper van. Haven’t tried it yet but I plan to.
- Comment on New Starfield free update added a ground vehicle 2 months ago:
I have a friend that in his own words likes boring games and Starfield was too boring for him.
- Comment on [Major_Trenton] Sony's Scam 2 months ago:
This is why I exclusively use thrustmaster controllers. Joysticks are modular and cost 15-20 bucks to replace.
- Comment on The Verge Under Fire For Publishing Info About ‘Deadlock,’ Valve’s Secret Shooter 2 months ago:
Sure, and they proved that they won’t respect valves wishes unless legally required to do so. Valve is now in a position where if they want to do future play tests they will have to manage NDAs for everyone which is probably more trouble than it’s worth. The general population is now less likely to get an opportunity like this because the verge wanted to get some easy clicks. It’s pathetic of them to sell us out like this.
- Comment on The Verge Under Fire For Publishing Info About ‘Deadlock,’ Valve’s Secret Shooter 2 months ago:
They literally included a screenshot of valve asking to not share information about the game with a little quip about how they pressed escape instead of ok. Blantant disrespect to valves wishes even if it’s not a legally binding agreement.
They chose getting clicks over doing right by valve. Shame on them.
- Comment on Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO 3 months ago:
My first thought was that they are trying to be a new onlyfans.
- Comment on Good game soundtracks? 3 months ago:
Surprised to not see FTL mentioned yet.
I’m loving the track Balatro has too. I wish that game had more music like the one song it has.

Last I heard
Yeah you’re gonna need to back that claim up. Russian propaganda doesn’t count.
- Comment on Unsolvable epic store captcha 4 months ago:
It’s becoming extremely frustrating.
Yup. That’ll happen when you touch anything related to epic.
- Comment on Palia studio Singularity 6 confirms 36 workers have been laid off 5 months ago:
Cosmetics are expensive too. I’m afraid a majority of players won’t pay those prices. If they offered some lower priced items they might have more consistent income.
- Comment on Are there any games like Diablo but not Diablo because Diablo? 8 months ago:
Ive had a ton of fun playing it!
- Comment on Are there any games like Diablo but not Diablo because Diablo? 8 months ago:
Does Last Epoch belong on this list too?
- Comment on Disney to take $1.5 billion stake in Epic Games, work with Fortnite maker on new content 9 months ago:
Because everything involved with Epic is a dumpster fire.
- Comment on What's your favorite game that you will NEVER finish? 10 months ago:
Ahh man… I haven’t been able to get noita to launch recently. I followed every forum guide I could find and still no luck. It was my top game played on steam this last year. I miss it.
- Comment on Games with graphics resembling PS1 or PS2? 10 months ago:
- Comment on [Steam] Which lesser known games have you bought or are planning to buy in this sale? 10 months ago:
Necesse has been fun
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 10 months ago:
They are killing rocket league too
- Comment on How do I convince my company to add tests for FE? 11 months ago:
Sounds like you need to answer back with numbers.
Calculate how much time is needed for writing tests.
Then calculate how much time was spent writing ineffective code, then add the amount of time it took to rewrite that same code.
I guarantee the latter amount will be more.
- Comment on How do I convince my company to add tests for FE? 11 months ago:
Maybe a response to their ‘solution’ would be to ask them if they were under the impression you weren’t being careful/paying attention before the bugs occurred?

- Comment on Spotify to axe 1,500 workers to save costs 11 months ago:
I said, ‘fuck it, why not?’ when the whole joe rogan boycott happened. Have not missed Spotify one bit since.
- Comment on [deleted] 11 months ago:
Nah fuck this shit. Murdering people who were celebrating love and music is inexcusable. I have so much affection for the electronic music scene and the peace and acceptance it promotes. A lot of those people were probably tripping on psychedelics. What a horrific way to go. Fuck Hamas.
- Comment on What were your top favorite video games as a kid? 11 months ago:
I’ve got a really fond spot in my heart for The Neverhood. It really opened my young eyes to the possibility that video games could be weird and artistic. They didn’t have to be an action packed generic mainstream capitalization of whatever is popular at the moment. As a kid, I could still tell it was a unique piece of work that required a lot of passion and creativity. I consider it the first indie game I ever played and it absolutely set the tone for what I chose to play to this day.
I still listen to the soundtrack nearly three decades later.
- Comment on How large pull requests can exacerbate complexity and slow down development 11 months ago:
Imagine if a trumpet cleaning supply company wrote up an article about the importance of cleaning your trumpet regularly, and somewhere in the article they mentioned something like, ‘oh and you can use your trumpet cleaning spray to clean your trumpet’. Does this mean the information is incorrect? No? Any more or less valid than some dude named Craig on YouTube showing you how he cleans his trumpet? I don’t think so?
Yeah it’s an ad, but it’s an informative ad from an organization that obviously has some passion for the area of their product. I think it would actually be kind of weird if a company that does version control had absolutely no documentation on what version control best practices are.
- Comment on Software Engineer vs Software Developer 11 months ago:
They told us in boot camp the difference is about $10k.
- Comment on Correcting > Helping 11 months ago:
I always kind of felt like those voices began to be drowned out the more and more popular reddit became. You’re correct about Lemmy’s scale, but there is certainly a sweet spot. I’m happy knowing Lemmy hasn’t yet reached its own, and reddit’s is long gone. I’m happier here and it’s likely only going to get better.
