- Comment on How does patientgamers feel about free games on Epic? 3 weeks ago:
I claim everything since free is free. But I don’t have the launcher installed, since I have a lot of other games to play so haven’t gotten around to it.
- Comment on what is your opinion on mastodon and other fediverse microblogging sites?? as opposed to forum-type websites 4 weeks ago:
Individual user driven content where the focus in more on individual accounts I don’t really like. Which why stuff like Twitter, tiktok, shorts, Instagram hasn’t strongly hooked me like foruma based social media.
I prefer social media where it’s more users all fading into the background with the attention given to the theme of discussion or showcasing as opposed to more influencer based social media.
- Comment on Epic Games is officially cool with the Internet Archive preserving early Unreal games 2 months ago:
Winning move from Epic. Showing what should be done for abandoned games. Give it back to the people so it can continued to be enjoyed by the community that will continue to care for it.
- Comment on You Pay For It, We Own It - Sony's $7.9B Lawsuit 2 months ago:
Thankfully modders have made good progress of coming closer to emulating servers for it so people can play it offline.
Bad part is Ubisoft actually removed The Crew from some people’s Ubisoft account. Steam versions were safe ironically.

Crypto first came for GPUs then AI came for GPUs. And now tariffs are coming after everything. I don’t like these sequels.
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 2 months ago:
Which one is it.
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 2 months ago:
Excuse me. Some of us do but Apple products. And there’s nothing that comes close to the bargain price of the base model, so we laugh at it while buying it too.
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 2 months ago:
I guess I’ll be the exception as someone who does have a macmini because it is the best priced mini pc that can’t be beat, and will likely get the base model for this too for the same reason.
But I still would prefer a power button in the front.

Awesome! So happy transition is so painless.

Did it transfer over your folder setups so you don’t need to set it up manually?
- Comment on Star Citizen devs report drying funds, micromanagement, overspending, and episodic release for Squadron 42 3 months ago:
Same news all the time.
- Comment on Google is purging ad-blocking extension uBlock Origin from the Chrome Web Store 3 months ago:
People who don’t switch away from chrome deserve the ads.
- Comment on After 11 years, Xbox One emulators are finally coming to PC - but they're not actually using emulation at all 3 months ago:
Hopefully I’ll get to finally play Gears of War 2.
- Comment on Ubisoft Says That XDefiant Has Fallen Behind Expectations 3 months ago:
It was enough to make me too lazy to bother even when the hype was there. Now it seems even the community that plays/played it is negative on it so even less likely to bother with Ubisoft launcher for it than at launch. I have UPlay installed too, but I don’t even know if anyone in my friend list from Steam was playing it compared to other games that they are shown playing.

Even general desktop use is much more fluid like the mouse cursor, scrolling, and moving windows. I immediately notice if a monitor is running at 60 hz.
- Comment on Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered - Announce Trailer | PS5 & PC Games 4 months ago:
PS5 has been the generation of PS4 remasters/remakes. PS5 might as well be the PS4 Pro Pro and the PS5 Pro the PS4 Pro Pro Pro.

People would probably be like are they going to pay my bills? No? Whatever.
- Comment on God of War Ragnarök - PC Launch Trailer 4 months ago:
I hope some mods come out that allows it to be skippable for single player games.
- Comment on please help me with some arguments for my wife 4 months ago:
Why not use the emails you guys already have? I don’t think I or even you guys would want to use an email created by parents, since the username might not even be something they would have chosen for themselves.
Let them have an email when they are old enough to create their own. Use something like simplelogin maybe instead for an alias email instead that still comes to your email but looks separate for relatives it is sent to? I wouldn’t want a premaid email account of my own before I was old enough.
- Comment on Sony Increases PS5 Controller Prices in US, Europe, and More 4 months ago:
I considered getting a dualsense before for pcgaming, but the stick issues pushed me away when other alternatives have hall effect sticks and grip buttons without paying the price of the dualsense edge.
- Comment on Can you trust Valve? Honest criticism of Steam. 4 months ago:
It’s also that they put out a product I actually find value from like Linux support, Steam Input, forums, workshop, etc. I enjoy using Steam because I find it to be a good experience.
It’s like reasons people prefer Android or Apple even if they share the same apps. Really can’t discount the experience simple things like navigation and social features do to add value.
- Comment on Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford says his hopes on Epic Store were 'overly optimistic or misplaced' 4 months ago:
Epic store not being profitable and despite the backing of Fortnite and Unreal Engine surplas being at the state that it is shows that it is probably much more expensive than expected to make a feature rich launcher. What epic has is more a glorified storefront like humble bundle or Fanatical but worse because it isn’t even selling keys for the platform of your choice, and they have to handle server costs of storing all the games too.
- Comment on Remedy and Annapurna announce a strategic cooperation agreement on Control 2 4 months ago:
Sorry I don’t remember usernames. All these comments just got mixed up with the rest playing up that angle.
- Comment on Remedy and Annapurna announce a strategic cooperation agreement on Control 2 4 months ago:
You still haven’t given a reason why to actually use epic despite your attempts to paint a billion dollar company as though it is some altruistic startup. If product isn’t good why should I go out of my way to pay for a worse one from another billionaire. If it is all billionaires I’m going to just pick the better product.
- Comment on Remedy and Annapurna announce a strategic cooperation agreement on Control 2 4 months ago:
Naive child thinks epic is offering a lower cut for altruistic reasons as opposed to it being the only method they could think of to try to convince devs to sell there. And that they wouldn’t jack up the rate once they corned the market given how their how strategy has been more reminiscent of Walmart approach of pricing lowering to gain market share. Biggest sign is that the store isn’t even profitable much like how lot of services these days aren’t profitable and burn money then jack up prices and offer less. Hell even Microsoft has offered low rates. Going to argue Microsoft is nice too now? Not falling for it Randy.
- Comment on Remedy and Annapurna announce a strategic cooperation agreement on Control 2 4 months ago:
I prefer EA and Ubisoft.
- Comment on It genuinely upsets me that Valve spent their time and resources on another Dota variation 5 months ago:
I wish they’d at least do some fun story driven coop stuff instead of only pvp stuff. But, I miss the single player days.

Nooooo!!!
- Comment on Kaspersky is shutting down its business in the United States 6 months ago:
That’s with trusted parties where that type of collaboration is less likely to happen with parties seen as hostile entities. I would not expect Russia to trust US software and instead be wary of their motives and back doors.
I don’t think you understand that I am viewing this from how sides that see each other as potential threats view and treat each other. Not allies regardless of what country. Just how I expect any country to view groups they are not on good terms with.
