- Comment on Sony faces another class-action lawsuit over PlayStation Store prices and monopolistic practices 4 days ago:
As an aside. I fucking hate smart TV shit. We were gifted a like Samsung 80 inch 4K tv and I was so excited to get that as a gift. I’d never had a tv bigger than 35. But all the smart shit makes it such a miserable experience.
I’ve also decided I hate HDR. Who made the decision that the TV has its own HDR settings, the console has HDR settings, and then individual games have settings as well. I have no clue if my shit is looking the way it’s supposed to. I recently got a PS portal and on god everything looks better on it than the TV, I think because it’s preconfigured.
I miss just plugging in the game and it looking fine.
- Comment on Eve Online developers CCP are being sold off, according to reports 1 week ago:
I quit long before that. I don’t even remember what my last straw was. I still follow the news occasionally and now that it’s free to play I log in like once a year just to look.
- Comment on Embracer has reduced its workforce by over 1800 people in the past year 1 week ago:
Wow I’m not familiar with them at all. Where can I go to read some not fluff pieces on them?
- Comment on Eve Online developers CCP are being sold off, according to reports 1 week ago:
It’s a bummer. Eve is special but CCP hasn’t seem intent on running a healthy game in over 10 years at least. I’m not sure if it was PA or their choice to launch a Vr game I always wanted to try that. And I do think they should pursue the mixed game approach. Playing Dust back in the day with friends and piloting a destroyer to do orbital bombardments was something special.
I digress I hope Eve and CCP are ok in the long run.
- Comment on Nexus Mods Sale Sparks Concern in Modding Community 1 week ago:
Oh I agree. I’m just bitching that it was all done secretly.
The fact that it’s secret implies to me the community won’t be happy. Idk.

Yeah he could have reached out to the community to find someone to run it who would act ethically.

That’s exciting. I’ve been meaning to play the first one for years. Maybe I’ll finally get to it before the remake comes out. ::: spoiler Spoiler Doubtful :::

Looking at the ratio of my downvotes I guess here haha.
I’ve thought about how to respond to your comment for a while. I don’t want to “out” some niche communities here for being toxic. That just perpetuates the problem I’m complaining about. So instead a non niche example are the Nintendo and video game general communities here are overwhelmingly negative compared to their reddit equivalents.

Oh shit that’s what the lyric meant? Damn deep lore on that show. I always thought it was a metaphor for his hospitality.

I… don’t know.

I’m confused if this is in support of coconuts being mammals as plants are living. Or you aren’t aware that plants are alive.

Oh that’s an interesting thought that I hadn’t had.
Hopefully we aren’t becoming the containment board.
- Comment on lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I was bored the other day and opened up a niche reddit community and I was just floored at how positive everyone was versus the same community here. But I digress I imagine it’s going to be phases and I’ll continue to try and be positive.
- Comment on lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month 3 weeks ago:
I’ve noticed this a ton over the last two or three months. Lemmy has become so much more negative than it was when I joined. It’s a real bummer. I can’t even imagine trying to be a mod or an admin.

This was the first anime I ever saw. I had no idea why people liked the genre after it.
I got the VhS at a goodwill.
- Comment on Warhammer 40,000 Maker Games Workshop Is Doing So Well It’s Giving $27 Million to Its Staff 5 weeks ago:
Lots of stuff to bitch about with GW but prices aren’t one of them. Exhibit A is the article you’re responding to, they are responsible with their profits and put them where they should. Exhibit B is they could minimize costs and outsource the entire plastic operation but they still make all models in England. Exhibit C is paying for Art is always morally the correct thing to do, even when mass produced. Finally Exhibit D, fuck GW for promoting incredibly short lifecycles for their games and pushing an almost weekly FOMO event on products that leads a lot more to these profits than just model sales.

It is like risk but cooler! And honestly you don’t need a 2k point meta army to start with. For the price of two or three $60 video games (guess I have to preface that now) you can have enough models for you and a friend to have an absolute blast.

No problem. I had a similar reaction “wait isn’t that Welles” and went googling myself. I just had a head start on you since I recognized him.

- Comment on Codemasters confirms layoffs as EA-owned studio shifts focus away from beloved rally games 1 month ago:
Honestly they should have never been yearly releases. Of course everyone is burnt out on them, and nothing innovate has happened in the rally codemaster games in years. I’m sad this is happening but it’s definitely mismanagement.
- Comment on Meta axes VR game developers amid $4.97 billion Reality Labs loss 2 months ago:
I mean we will never know but 5billion is a lot no one else is going to throw this much to VR. Gaben will buy another Yacht before valve spends this much. Apple will never care about gaming. Microsoft and google both develop as though they can’t focus on any project.
Sony has a nice headset, but it’s more of a whatever than a serious evolution of the industry.
Itch.io hosts some amazing game jams, and maybe we will see Godot and Unreal take up some slack but not five billion dollars worth.
- Comment on Meta axes VR game developers amid $4.97 billion Reality Labs loss 2 months ago:
I know people don’t like Zuck and meta in general. But flooding VR with money was a good thing for the medium. Lots of small teams and independents who otherwise couldn’t have developed for VR got to.

Lemmy lately has been on an outrage fest it’s getting kind of exhausting. Topics in just about everything I follow are almost all outrage with out critical thinking.
