• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half-Life 2 peaks at 52,000 concurrent players, 20 years after its release⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The full list is on steam, the main thing is it’s bundled all hl2 games in one package, integrated workshop for mod installation, and added new developer commentary for hl2. Also a bunch of misc fixes etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cyberpunk 2077 released in December 2020. Almost 4 years later, what is your opinion on it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I played it at launch. Even through all the bugs and half finished systems, it felt like somebody actually cared about the game. The story, characters and city were and still are amazing. Bit of an unpopular opinion, but it was always a pretty good game, at the very least an uncut diamond.

  Ditto for us in Australia

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That hurts a little⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like a Russian palace, maybe Tetris?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Final Fantasy 9 Remake May Not Happen as a Single Title⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Remake 8 you cowards

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can we return to techno-optimism?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Concrete goals, and reasonable steps to achieve them.

  I feel like lately we’ve hit a weird speculative investment period in tech, where we have a bunch of tech that’s created because it can be, but not because it’s needed. Do LLMs, crypto currency, or NFTs have actual uses? Very possibly, but nothing concrete enough to satisfy the bubble that formed from them.

  We live in an age of unreality. Give us something achievable and genuine, we get excited. It doesn’t have to be complicated, just real. Hell, I’m excited as fuck over solid sodium batteries, and that’s boring as shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doom and Doom II get a ‘definitive’ re-release that’s packed with upgrades⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried it out for a bit. it’s not bad at all, but there’s a bunch of stuff in there that doesn’t gel with me personally. I had to turn the crosshair off because it was too high on the screen, and the autoaim was causing me to miss shots due to height differences. It’s neat enough and I’m sure it’s a great option for consoles, but I’ll stick to gzdoom myself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster - Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The original is on steam now if you didn’t already know. I still love the original, I feel like the sequels kind of lost something and I’m a bit afraid this remake might have the same problem. It’s fine either way, the original will always be there, but I would have loved something more in line with the original.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster - Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like it’ll be very similar, the voice actor change for Frank and the character models really throw me off though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elden Ring is "the limit" for From Software project scale, says Miyazaki - multiple, "smaller" games may be the "next stage"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank fuck. I like Elden Ring but it took 100 hours start to finish with DLC included. Give me more Sekiro and bloodborne please, stuff on that scale seems to be the best environment for from.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Keeping pet cats indoors would save millions of native animals and billions of dollars. So what's stopping us?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have two cats, they have never been let outside and they’ve been completely happy. Granted the house is a decent size and we have a lot of things to keep them entertained, but that responsibility comes with the ownership I figure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose your difficulty⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh, I see plenty of shit around the world that makes me happy I’m here. It’s fucking wild to think that after your cats have found yet another majestic galloping hand sized spider that you have to save from them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose your difficulty⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Haha no not quite that paranoid. Nah it’s mostly a rule for like moving stuff around in the garden and if you’re in the bush or whatever. Like the shit you have to worry about will either let you know, or set up a home far away from you. Generally. So it’s kind of another way of saying don’t put you hand into a redback nest.

  Though saying that most people have had harrowing huntsman spider encounters, often in bed. They’re the most common surprise as they actively move around to hunt prey, instead of building webs. They can’t really hurt humans, aside from hiding behind your sun visor in the car and scaring you half to death, like my girlfriend had last year. They are a non zero statistic in cause of car accidents unfortunately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose your difficulty⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  ISPs can monitor and such, I’ve not gone into the intricacies of the laws myself. One can get around it all pretty easily.

  Tbh game prices are actually not too bad here. I don’t pirate games, steam etc are just too reasonable, and I don’t buy them that often.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose your difficulty⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait do you guys not? Next you’ll tell me you don’t eat your national animal

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose your difficulty⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Look you’re right and the housing market is a catastrophe also

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose your difficulty⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m gonna be real with you all, I’m in Australia and it’s a little embarrassing how hard you think we have it over here compared to the shit I’ve heard from other places. Like don’t fuck with the animals and don’t put your hands in areas you can’t see and you’re golden. I’ve had to deal with random violence like three times in my 34 years here. It’s pretty alright here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No one has predicted the end of the world in a while.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re already riding it it I reckon. Should be like a deep breath out, but I think we’ll eventually recover.

  That’s pretty much it yeah

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VR Headsets Are Approaching the Eye’s Resolution Limits⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Heh, Darth Vader is an imperial unit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Akira Toriyama, the Creator of Dragon Ball, Dead at 68⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Making manga is crazy stressful, I’ve wondered the same thing. Can’t be good for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm a US citizen, people in other countries, what do you think when you read stories like these about the US health care system?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Good on you for realising though. I mean from an outsiders perspective America tends to push the exceptionalism narrative pretty hard, live there long enough and it’ll get into you sooner or later.
