- Comment on Elden Ring Nightreign’s Massive Steam Launch Tarnished by 'Mixed' User Reviews Over Lack of Duos Co-Op, Voice Chat 4 days ago:
Oh for sure, I don’t think less of people for these kind of situations. More at the state where it’s unfortunate but also interesting. We keep seeing these situations happen with varying amounts of justification from people, it’s interesting to try to understand what’s happening.

I don’t think it’s obtuse or anything, this stuff isn’t hard to find out before buying. I think it’s probably closer to people being afraid of fromsoft doing something different, but don’t have words to articulate it, so they express it in other ways.
- Comment on my kid is movin to AU 5 days ago:
I’ve lived here in Aus all my life. It’s got it’s problems sure, but it’s relatively safe and the people here are alright. I can’t say anything from the perspective of a parent, but I think just keep in touch how you can, and see how it goes.
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 2 weeks ago:
Big issue for me is the direction towards incentivised exclusivity. I can tolerate it on consoles (barely nowdays) because you’re paying someone to use your hardware instead of another, and you have to specifically develop for console hardware. That takes time and effort.
Different distribution platforms do not have such issues, and frankly I don’t want exclusivity anywhere near PC gaming, unless you’re self publishing. Frankly if they weren’t banging on about steam using the industry standard % take, while they themselves are trying to undercut and use garbage tactics, I would have absolutely no problem with them, same as Ubisoft and EA’s garbage store.

Ah yeah then that’s Vulkan

Hope you’re running on Vulkan, for me it went from 30ish fps to an illegally high number for some ungodly reason.

I mean, there was one person that didn’t in this article, and they got fired.
- Comment on What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? 4 weeks ago:
Oh I completely get you, on a rail is a famously difficult spot for a lot of people. I think the lack of landmarks and long duration really hurts that chapter. If it’s any consolation it’s mostly a one off situation, and yeah black mesa doesn’t really have an equivalent.
- Comment on What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? 4 weeks ago:
Don’t feel too bad about it, the best bits are the first half or so I’d argue.
- Comment on What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? 4 weeks ago:
Which bits in particular? Because on one hand it’s a fairly linear design, but on the other there are some bits that can loop around themselves and objectives aren’t always obvious.
- Comment on What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? 4 weeks ago:
Oof yep I feel that one. I love the wheel and spoke moderately open world level design, but if you actually need to move the story it can be very difficult to find where the next bits are.

Most likely it’s going to be a giant backstabbing event until somebody eventually rules over the ashes.
- Comment on Cities Skylines 2, Kerbal Space 2, Planet Coaster 2, Frostpunk 2... What Went Wrong? 5 weeks ago:
So I’ve been playing Tropico 4 for a bit, and it looks pretty good. You’re always zoomed out, so you don’t need to have more than like 8 polygons for a limb.
I literally could not run cities Skylines 2 or KSP 2 at a good frame rate. Everything was modelled incredibly well and looks great, but that doesn’t mean shit if I can’t run the game. I strongly suspect that’s a big contributing factor.
In addition to this, they’re going to against their biggest competitors: the previous game. It’s literally the same game with more content, runs incredibly well by comparison, has a huge mod library, and is much cheaper to boot. Might not be as pretty, but it actually might not matter given what you’re playing.
I think there’s probably a lot of issues that contribute to this to be honest, but it feels like at it’s core it’s a fools errand to begin with.

You know that’s not too unreasonable thinking about it, I’m pretty sure their proton setup works in a similar way

Are there 9 haters? It wasn’t my favourite but it’s very good and I don’t think it’s a bad favourite at all.

That sounds well below the acceptable % for doa parts, especially if ASRock is indeed nuking chips.

PS4 emulation has come a long way. I haven’t played fully through my copy, but I was going through it at 60fps through the first few areas with little to no issue. You may want to wait until all the kinks are out, but it’s pretty good as it is.

- Comment on This speaks for itself 2 months ago:
I feel you. They aren’t necessarily wrong to concentrate on the other stuff, but the world did feel a bit happier when things had a bit of life to them, at least to me.
- Comment on This speaks for itself 2 months ago:
I know it’s a perfect example but I’m sick of modern design trends. Muted colours and uniform shapes, nothing ever interesting or emotion inducing. I’m probably pretty biased but still I’d love to see something that had some life to it.

- Comment on Valve adds "all the Team Fortress 2 client and server game code" to its Source mod tools, letting modders "build completely new games based on TF2" and publish them on Steam 3 months ago:
Sort of, but those let you use the pre-existing codebase for each game as is. This lets you play with the inner workings. You could do something drastic like implant rollback netcode, add new classes, wild shit.
