- Comment on Bethesda is allegedly working on ‘multiple Fallout games’, including Fallout 3 Remastered, teases report 6 days ago:
I’m still waiting for them to recover financially so they can create another deep RPG like Daggerfall. I’ll bet ES6 will be for the fans /s
- Comment on Romero Games reportedly met with Microsoft just a day before the publisher pulled funding for the studio, and there was 'no mention' of the decision that put over 100 people out of work 1 week ago:
Unlike EA, Microsoft can afford to wait a little and then get rid of the employees. They let them do what they want because they have no idea how to run a gaming studio anymore. They don’t have any incentive to have expertise, which is why the old Xbox IPs like Halo or Gears died so COD can live in another part of town. They are like tech venture capitalists now, not even just in gaming.
- Comment on Founder of Arkane Studios: "I think Gamepass is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade"; impacts sales 1 week ago:
Have they paid off the 70 billion? If they are making money, why are they firing people and cancelling projects?
- Comment on Microsoft to Lay Off About 9,000 Employees 1 week ago:
I hate the auto-hide feature of the start menu. It doesn’t work right. I started using Bazzite/KDE, and it’s done correctly there.
- Comment on Has Xbox Considered Laying One Person Off Instead Of Thousands 1 week ago:
Unfortunately, Microsoft is bigger than 1 good dude. Remember when this one executive threatened to pull MS out of an entire nation because the CMA had an objection regarding the ABK merger? For every one Phil, there are probably 9 of these rich pricks.
- Comment on 'Xbox Hardware Is Dead,' Says Founding Team Member, 'It Looks Like Xbox Has No Desire — Or Literally Can't — Ship Hardware Anymore' - IGN 2 weeks ago:
Will it kill PC gaming for you if retailers themselves sell video cards for over $150 MSRP?
- Comment on Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base 2 weeks ago:
They just had to copy the walled garden approach of the competitors, and badly at that. They could have not pursued forcing users to a Microsoft account. They could’ve avoided the telemetry and ads business(/bloat). Google has them beat there anyway. They had the more open alternative to Google and Apple but they’re trying terribly to be second fiddle to them. And now Linux has become a good enough alternative to what Windows should’ve been. They are still the choice for business machines, but they’ve been terrible with consumer devices.
- Comment on 'Death Stranding 2' proves more video games need to get weird, experts say 2 weeks ago:
Kojima used their engine and helped him get his own studio get started when his old one wanted to chase mobile gaming.
- Comment on I'm gonna mute this one 3 weeks ago:
I’m a side sleeper. I can sleep on this bench. Given the other half of the government would get rid of the bench altogether, this is a good compromise. Now if you want to get rid of the divider altogether, the fascist side of the government needs to be thoroughly and consistently beaten. That’s just the system. You can make an argument that the “ideal” left is incompetent too for always losing.

- Comment on Chips aren’t improving like they used to, and it’s killing game console price cuts 2 months ago:
If I’m building a PC for gaming, I wouldn’t limit myself to $600. Would you? I’ve never not had PCs or laptops since I first had one in the 90s. I’m building again now to go Linux. 7800xt and 2 Tb SSD cost as much as a PS5 Pro in my part of the world. I only started getting into consoles because I can afford it now, and for physical games. I don’t really get why today it’s PC vs. consoles. I was into PCs but never judged consoles as inferior, just different.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO says up to 30% of the company's code was written by AI | TechCrunch 2 months ago:
I don’t remember in my 2 decades of working my work machine causing me to lose work due to a Windows update. In the last year, it happened to me 3 times. One was due to Crowdstrike. The latest update also recently broke my remote setup. Not completely their fault but still a crappy time. The one other time was due to an update (must’ve been the forced win11 one) killing the wifi and then Windows hiding any options to fix it, a bug from Windows 10.
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 2 months ago:
I guess it doesn’t apply to you…

Whatever works…
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 2 months ago:
Even you ignored the first part of what I said, but I don’t blame you. That’s how conversations go.
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 2 months ago:
I’ve had my fair share of issues with not getting a complete response from e-mails. And so I changed the way I look at it. It’s not like it will take weeks to get all the information you need just because you didn’t get everything in one go.
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 2 months ago:
Digital communication is near instant. It’s not like snail mail where you have to cram your letter with as much information as you can, or it will be ages until the next reply.
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 2 months ago:
Even when we converse, we get across just one point at a time. You have to respect other people’s time and bandwidth (Okay, one or two points).
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 3 months ago:
Even the Playstation OS is better than this. It asks you whether to update before shutdown or the next time it starts up. ‘You’re 33% there’ is gaslighting, especially when you’re just shutting down the machine to go to bed.
- Comment on PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why 5 months ago:
Subscription fee? Is this true? Do they have a PC Game Pass service now?
- Comment on Why BlueSky Isn’t the Alternative to X (Formerly Twitter) You’re Looking For — and Why Mastodon Is the Better Choice Over X, Threads, and BlueSky 7 months ago:
The name “Mastodon” sucks as much as “X”. I’ve never had a Twitter account nor do I want to open an account in any of the services, but Mastodon does not sound catchy to who they need to attract.
- Comment on Elon's Death Machine (aka Tesla) Mows Down Deer at Full Speed , Keeps Going on "Autopilot" 8 months ago:
That’s a low bar when you consider how stringent airline safety is in comparison, and that kills way less people than driving does. If sensors can save people’s lives, then knowingly not including them for profit is intentionally malicious.
