  Cheers for the suggestions

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [Week 11]⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cool :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube stops recommending videos when signed out of Google⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can get extensions which make the homepage redirect to your subscriptions page. Lifesaver imo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [Week 11]⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks, I’ll have a poke through trailers for the ones new to me!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [Week 11]⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I could do with a recommendation or two. I don’t have much time for anime, so nothing more than 26 episodes. Dubs only so I can build Lego. I’ve enjoyed slice of life like My Dress Up Darling, as well as some classics like Cowboy Bebop and Evangelion. What’s fresh nowadays?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Physical or Digital?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I recently redownloaded Driver Parallel Lines some 14 years after I bought it. PC is doing so much better than consoles on keeping things backwards compatible - imagine a PS5 casually letting you play PS2 or PS3 era games at no extra cost!

  Back in the day, if you wanted a drop shadow you added it in photoshop… And saved as jpg

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good games with *zero* replayability?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, I replayed it and it is still great. Like rereading a good book.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good games with *zero* replayability?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a puzzle game of working out how to complete your to-do list, so that the next area unlocks. Beyond its meme status, I do think it’s a very smartly designed puzzler, with lots of experimentation and observation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good games with *zero* replayability?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of people are posting games that are short and linear. But to match your energy, games that cannot be replayed unless you forget what you learn;

  • Case of the Golden Idol is a mystery/deduction game, a la Obra Dinn.

  • Toki Tori 2 is a puzzle metroidvania, where you can do everything from the start - tweet and stomp. Right from the first screen, big chunks of the map can be shortcut through once you put your later learnings into practice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Making Great Anime Into Terrible Video Games⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Windows’ relentless backwards compatibility is underrated, but it’s so damn nice I can still play games from 2005 effortlessly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft CEO defends Skull and Bones’ $70 price despite its live service leanings, calls it ‘quadruple-A’⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish I gave a shit about any of their games so I could boycott properly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit chooses New York Stock Exchange for long-stalled IPO⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Kinda crap advice for novices, as shorting means uncapped losses if you’re wrong. You’d have to be very confident other people are making a mistake, as other investors may not worry that power users no longer like Reddit, and stock could still go up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mark Zuckerberg made $29 billion this morning after Meta stock makes record surge⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know exactly what I’d do with it.

  Get into gunpla, of course.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ex-CIA computer engineer gets 40 years in prison for giving spy agency hacking secrets to WikiLeaks⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Whistleblower laws need strengthening. Snowden’s leaks, for example, were clearly in the public interest and needed to be leaked. It’s an unjust country that can’t see that and spare him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up with Epic Games?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Playnite can do game time from Epic and Steam, plus its own accounting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up with Epic Games?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Your first line is straight up misinformation. Epic has remarkably few games with DRM, mostly from big publishers implementing their own. I’ve yet to find an indie that can’t be launched directly as an .exe. Same with Cyberpunk 2077, launches directly without issue.

  The only singleplayer game I can’t play offline is Hitman, just like on Steam, because their publisher sucks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up with Epic Games?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The used is being hyperbolic, but is referring to their substantial role in popularising loot boxes, as well as the marketplace that has spawned a real gambling industry around it. Kids gamble on 3rd party sites and Valve does very little to interfere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Winter Sale is coming(Today), along with voting in the Steam Awards⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The multiplayer is full of ultra skilled people who have played for years, so a steep curve. Best FPS campaign ever though, so I recommend it for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Winter Sale is coming(Today), along with voting in the Steam Awards⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Copying a comment I made on the other site;

  Recursed, just £1.67. It is a brilliant puzzle game, completely mind bending stuff about recursion and jumping into chests inside of chests while taking another chest with you so you can jump inside it…

  Wonderputt Forever - £2.20. Prettiest minigolf game, animated to excess. Less than an hour to beat unless you go for optional challenges. You may have played the original flash game a decade ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am so done with pregnancy test Doom, though - the only part of that that is pregnancy test is the plastic shell. Kind of sick of seeing it crop up!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic is giving away 17 games as part of its holiday sale⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We found out in the Apple lawsuit that the games are fixed price for Epic, so you can download or not as you wish - individually you do not make their cost go up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PlayStation keeps reminding us why digital ownership sucks⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, buying a disc for a new game and selling it a month later is still the cheapest way to play new things without being constrained by a subscription’s library. PC is excellent for old/indie stuff going cheap, but discs are awesome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex Users Fear New Feature Will Leak Porn Habits to Their Friends and Family⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I cannot fathom why Plex is so dominant while Jellyfin, for my taste, is better. And Jellyfin is explicitly free, contributors cannot be paid, because they are funded by their intense hatred of capitalism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, he wants to swing around while fucking Spider Man. And who doesn’t?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Escapist murica-fires Editor-in-Chief - loses Yahtzee Croshaw and entire video team in hours⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They probably had no idea Yahtzee and co were that loyal to Nick. That said, I’m shocked Yahtzee doesn’t have an ownership stake, as an insurance against… Well, this exact scenario.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix confirms it is increasing subscription prices, again, after adding 8.8 million customers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I use Justwatch to figure out where films and shows are, and even then it’s grim how many aren’t available to stream, or even buy legally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic Games to update Unreal Engine pricing for devs not making games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  At least they got a touch closer than most, hosting virtual concerts etc. Just… No-one I know went to one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix is planning to raise prices... again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Jellyfin is king. Plex is corporate-in-waiting, wishing it could have infinite growth infinitely. Jellyfin is just some people makin a thing.
