- Comment on Images leak of Valve's next game, and it's an Overwatch-style hero shooter 1 month ago:
I played the first one but not the second yet. I did enjoyed the experience and the hairstyles stood out for the character designs with the ribbons.

I just want a nice story driven single player game from Valve again that isn’t VR.
- Comment on Glorious Victory 1 month ago:
This shows the power of steam reviews with it being driven by the actual community. People tried to downplay and belittle its effectiveness, but it being front and center on the store page does have more impact than there would be without steam reviews. If there were no steam reviews the PSN requirement would have been pushed through with it being easier to ignore some random internet comments on social media than a store page.
- Comment on Sony - Helldivers fans -- we’ve heard your feedback on the Helldivers 2 account linking update - PSN no longer required 1 month ago:
Wonderful change. Simple solution is the best.
- Comment on "PSN isn't supported in my country. What do I do?" Arrowhead CEO: "I don't know" 1 month ago:
Yes I would say so. If game doesn’t show itself able to stay around for years and shuts down early like other live services games then I’d personally have considered it a waste of money due to it becoming unplayable compared to non live service games.
Most successful live services games are free too, so that’s an additional uphill battle for paid live service games.

Patient gaming for the win.
- Comment on Bethesda Quietly Removes Denuvo DRM from Ghostwire: Tokyo 2 months ago:
Enshitification of DRM moving to subscription based ended up being the most pro consumer move in the long run.
- Comment on Putin Orders Russian Tech Companies To Somehow Make Competitive Game Console In 3 Months 2 months ago:
Gaming is of upmost importance to the health of a nation. Future wars will be done through esports.
- Comment on From its start, Gmail conditioned us to trade privacy for free services 2 months ago:
Even if it weren’t free companies would likely have moved towards collecting data. Just look at how the price tag of cars doesn’t protect you from not being a product.
- Comment on Google was ordered to identify people who watched certain YouTube videos. Privacy experts say the orders are unconstitutional. 3 months ago:
I’m not concerned, but vpn can be used anyways. And it just gives me less incentive to bother using YouTube through official means. I already find the unofficial methods to be superior with adblocking, sponsorblock, background play, and being able to hide sjorts or trends from showing up.
- Comment on Google was ordered to identify people who watched certain YouTube videos. Privacy experts say the orders are unconstitutional. 3 months ago:
Can still use with vpn which means nothing using the YouTube site with vpn. Having an account simplifies the whole process too not even having to rely on IP address.
- Comment on Google was ordered to identify people who watched certain YouTube videos. Privacy experts say the orders are unconstitutional. 3 months ago:
Looks like my avoidance of ads is paying off with newpipe and freetube replacing using a signed in YouTube use to watch videos and keep track of my subscriptions.
- Comment on Death Stranding UI is fucking horriffic. 3 months ago:
I loved the game more than I thought I would because carrying luggage made traversal somehow fun.
But, I was also very entertained by this rant. It’s very specific and detailed and I love it when someone can break down why they dislike some element to a degree.
- Comment on Massive ‘Apex Legends’ Hack Disrupts NA Finals, Raises Serious Security Concerns 3 months ago:
Wonder if this is a risk for all games that run EAC.
- Comment on Sony Reportedly Pauses PlayStation VR2 Production to Clear Backlog of Unsold Units 3 months ago:
Yep, would get this over the meta headsets that I have stayed away from if it got full PC support. Until then just going to wait to see if Valve releases anything new.

Wood pla!? Wow 3d printing continues to amaze me and that look fantastic.
- Comment on free: Deus Ex: Mankind Divided on epic 3 months ago:
I may give it a go then and try to find the closure through some fanfic if it exists.
- Comment on free: Deus Ex: Mankind Divided on epic 3 months ago:
For those that played this game will the ending upset me? I heard it ended on some cliff hanger or something that made the canceled sequel painful.
- Comment on God of War (PC) is now available on GOG 3 months ago:
Steam Deck was reason I moved from GOG to Steam again. Installation process and getting the game running is so much more streamlined than using heroic launcher. And sync saves is spotty and I don’t think there is achievement support last I tried.
Wish they had a proper Linux launcher, but they don’t see it worth it.
- Comment on THE FINALS | Season 2 | March 14 3 months ago:
Finals is the first pvp I’ve been sucked into in years after having mainly stuck exclusively with PVE. It’s felt much more accessible than other shooters with the variety of different play styles and the higher ttk makes my slow reaction times less detrimental.

I’ll be waiting for epic giveaway or humble bundle.
- Comment on Tech Employee Who Went Viral for Filming Her Firing Has No Regrets 5 months ago:
Yeah, what companies want is all jobs to be exploitable like entry level jobs. That’s kind of what’s happening now with stuff like Uber where companies get away with paying their employees as little as possible and few benefits.
Protecting and providing incentive to hire for the long term seems like better thing in the long run over many crappy low paying jobs.
- Comment on ‘Front page of the internet’: how social media’s biggest user protest rocked Reddit 5 months ago:
Yeah, I knew of lemmy long before any protests, but it was more linked as a back up sub for like the rom sub in case a ban happened. But, activity was pretty nonexistent compared to now. For lemmy this is a success with it leading to many more consistent users of the platform.
- Comment on ‘Front page of the internet’: how social media’s biggest user protest rocked Reddit 5 months ago:
Yeah, nothing changed. People might say /r/all changed, but that place has always been crap and avoided by long time users in favor of subscribed feed.
- Comment on Best of Steam 2023: The Year's Top Games measured by Gross Revenue 5 months ago:
I don’t understand people who spend money on these games. Even if I enjoy it spending money just feels like some scam that I don’t find it enticing with how the whole game feels like an advertisement.
- Comment on PlayStation keeps reminding us why digital ownership sucks 6 months ago:
It’s the best we’ve got unlike the rather ridiculous proposals of backing up their own games some have made. Average person does not have the storage or the determination to digitize everything and keep it safe in case of corruption with multiple back ups.
- Comment on PlayStation keeps reminding us why digital ownership sucks 6 months ago:
Even then in a worst case scenario due to the open platform piracy is a possibility. That’s where some of the peace of mind comes from compared to purchasing of digital goods for a closed system.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 1 6 months ago:
One silver lining I see in delayed release is that I have less of an incentive to upgrade my GPU until then, and new GPU might be out that should hopefully handle it maxed out when I do get into it.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 1 6 months ago:
I wonder how much that will be true this time around. This is the first console Gen where I have no plans to get a console, so they can’t even entice me to double dip due to lack of a console. And I doubt that if I haven’t got a console by 2025 I won’t be getting one just for one game. Exclusives don’t have the same draw anymore, since they’ve started getting ported.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 1 6 months ago:
If 2025 deadline is met then will probably be 2025-2027 for PC release.
