- Comment on No movie has a bigger cultural impact than Final Destination 2 10 hours ago:
Meh. This is the first ice heard of this in a very very long time.
I’d argue The Matrix Trilogy, Monty Python abd the Quest for the Holy Grail, and the Lord if the Rings Trilogy have had far greater cultural impacts. They’re referenced quite a lot, especially The Matrix.
- Comment on WoW's Leeroy Jenkins, one of the internet's oldest memes, turns 20 years old—and after looking back on what we wrote in 2005, I feel like we've failed Leeroys everywhere 11 hours ago:
Sure but… I’m subscribed to Humble Monthly. So instead of getting a CD with a magazine containing a bunch of demos, I get a bunch of keys for full games. A lot of them pretty neat indies.
For gaming news… Well, on Lemmy there’s this guy.

Having an attraction =/= having a fetish.
Also, such a weird backwards idea… “fetishizing people of colour”.
- Comment on Gig Companies Violate Workers’ Rights: Amazon Flex, DoorDash, Favor, Instacart, Lyft, Shipt, and Uber claim to offer workers flexibility but end up paying them less than state or local minimum wages. 1 day ago:
Europe created something called “the platform work directive”, or something along those lines. Basically means that platform jobs (i.e. Uber, Wolt, Just Eat) can no longer operate under a so-called “freelance model”.
Basically, if it looks like you’re hiring employees, you must give them contracts like employees (along with everything that entails).
It’s already been agreed upon, so it’s a matter of implementation. It’s considered a “pillar” of the EU now, so being part of the EU means having the directive. Deadline for the implementation, as I’ve heard from 3F Copenhagen, should be 2026.
I can’t wait.
- Comment on Ori studio in crisis: No Rest For The Wicked could be their final game 2 days ago:
You, the problem might not be reviewing bombing, but rather lack of advertising.
Until now I’ve honestly never heard of No Rest for the Wicked. I didn’t even know Moon Studios was busy on anything after Ori 2.
- Comment on Even Starfield's community patch modders are growing 'disenchanted' with the sci-fi RPG, as volunteers depart in droves: 'If nobody comes forward, we may have to retire the project' 2 days ago:
I second No Man’s Sky.
But if you want something a lot more serious, a proper simulator, but also requires time to learn (for when you get bored of the simplicity of No Man’s Sky), maybe give X4 a shot.

Yes, but that shouldn’t be the norm, or an expectation, of the developer. “Oh, we don’t need to worry about the game, the fans will just mod it and it’ll bring us lots of money!”

Sounds like an endorsement for custom firmwares.

That’s not the only issue it has. They could’ve made procedural generation work, with having a combination of hand crafted and procedural environments. But it doesn’t seem like they have the skill to pull it off.
Issues this game has, and probably one of the major reasons why it’s so dead feeling, is how the world doesn’t react to you.
Tell me, what happens in Skyrim or Oblivion if you walk around town with your sword drawn?
What happens if you start randomly casting spells where the guards can see you?
What if you managed to get a certain artefact, wear a certain kind of armour, or work on upgrading a certain skill tree?
See what I mean? See what’s missing?
The dead, empty, open world tiles only compounds this. And how everything feels even more limiting because of how the game is strictly chopped up with loading screens.
- Comment on Nintendo reserves the right to brick your console following "unauthorised use", in bid to prevent piracy 4 days ago:
Pretty sure that’s illegal in most parts of Europe. Checking the article it says that the policy has only been updated in the UK and the US.
Sucks to be a country without adequate consumer protection, I guess.

- Comment on Thats fair 4 days ago:
Having a bigger dick is overrated. Great for fantasy, but very impractical.
I’d upgrade my lungs to be better filters and oxygenate my blood. My immune system to fight diseases my efficiently (turn it into a scalpel rather than a cluster-nuke). My brain to retain it’s learning capabilities well I to my later years. Completely overhaul my metabolism so that I won’t have to do heavy exercise to get good muscles (really, all that exercise just exists to make one chemical reaction happen).
After that, then, only then, might I consider doing something with my dick. Though perhaps more with my balls, so I can just switch off the reproductive capabilities to ensure safe sex.

Yeah… Like there’d be a bit more credence if the guy was going after the pelvis but… You’d have to either xray or extract the pelvis for that.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 5 days ago:
I’m still using the latest version of Yuzu (the version shortly before the takedown). How does Torzu compare to that? And is it possible to add Torzu to Emudeck?

You really are that stupid, huh?
OK, let’s do a little exercise; how many of their creature designs have been changed since launch?
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 6 days ago:
The courts ruled it isn’t plagerism. So… You’re looking pretty stupid here.
The patents in question have nothing to do with creature designs. And neither would patent law be covering the design of creatures. That would be copyright law.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 6 days ago:
The last Nintendo console I bought was the Nintendo DS lite. The last Nintendo product I bought was Age of Empires DS The Age of Kings.
As you can probably tell, that was a rather long time ago. Since getting my first TTDS flash card I’ve more or less exclusively pirated Nintendo things. I’ll just continue doing that.
News like this isn’t giving me any remorse.
- Comment on Stop Killing Games needs EU citizen signatures! 6 days ago:
I already signed last year. I sent it around all my friends here in Europe and they too signed. And then they sent it around their friends… I really don’t know what else to do.
- Comment on Facebook Allegedly Detected When Teen Girls Deleted Selfies So It Could Serve Them Beauty Ads 1 week ago:
It’s mot that we hate teenage girls (and women) so much. It’s just money. Soulless, apathetic money making.
A teenager is in a vulnerable state. Some more than others. But self esteem, self worth, and existentialism are things that a teenager as, at the very least, a brush with.
An emotionally vulnerable person is more open to suggestion. Religion does this a lot. Advertising is no different.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
That’s really not how inflation works. We’d somehow need negative inflation, which probably only exists in the nightmares of economists.
- Comment on Don't be Evil 1 week ago:
Oh. Oh I’m not the only one. I’m not even an avid FF player; I just played some of the remakes on DS.
The victory tune is burned into my brain, as well as the Chocobo theme.

Shut the fuck up, brand!
- Comment on Introducing Waterfox Private Search (Beta) 1 week ago:
Now we just need Earthfox and Airfox, so we can have our own Avatarfox.
- Comment on If you’re in the market for a $1,900 color E Ink monitor, one of them exists now - Ars Technica 1 week ago:
Pretty sure it’s good for anything that requires text. I’ve already seen several people talk about it’s use in coding, which makes sense since staring at a conventional LCD for hours on end can be a real eyestrain sometimes.
- Comment on If you’re in the market for a $1,900 color E Ink monitor, one of them exists now - Ars Technica 1 week ago:
Why, for the love of all the gods, do people keep saying and writing “LCD display”.
Tell me what the “D” in “LCD” means!
What does the “D” mean, hmmm!?
- Comment on Apex Legends writer gets laid off 24 hours after the character she wrote is revealed, because that's what the games industry in 2025 looks like 1 week ago:
Yes, but there are also European developers. Such as Ubisoft, which previously had major issues with harassment, and probably still does. If they have a union, it certainly isn’t a powerful one.
- Comment on Apex Legends writer gets laid off 24 hours after the character she wrote is revealed, because that's what the games industry in 2025 looks like 1 week ago:
My question is when workers in game studios start to make unions. It’s a massive industry and the people actually making the games are constantly fucked over.

I sometimes get commissioned to make a logo here and there. This would come in very handy.

I’ve never used vector programs. What is a “live tracer”?
