It’s copy pasta, I’ve seen it before.
- Comment on Doom the dark ages... 1 day ago:
The general sentiment among those folks was that Eternal skewed too far into “combat puzzle” territory, where encounters felt like they had prescribed “solutions” that you needed to perform to succeed reliably.
Nailed it, that was exactly my problem with Eternal.

Didn’t realise the town had cashed in on that incredible fuckup, fair play.
- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game 3 days ago:
Yeah, there’s so many good games and so little time, I don’t understand how anyone wouldn’t have a big backlog anyway.
- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game 3 days ago:
I really enjoyed 2016, couldn’t get into Eternal though. I’m definitely going to hold off on this new one until it’s been out longer and goes on sale, unless it gets standing ovations. Then, if I don’t like it I haven’t lost much.
- Comment on Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody Wants 4 days ago:
Yeah I kinda like that brutalist look. Shame it’s impractically large, poorly built, dangerous, and produced by a nazi wanker.
- Comment on Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody Wants 4 days ago:
This is very doable without needing an EV battery. Solar panels and lithium batteries have never been so cheap - tho I’m not in America, maybe tariffs effect this in the US. I have a 500w panel, victron shunt, controller, etc, 200ah lithium battery - the whole build cost maybe £800 a couple of years ago and the cost has dropped a fair bit since. I live in a small space and my needs are few - laptop, lights, phone, heater, etc. This does the job fine for me but it wouldn’t be hard to scale up.
- Comment on Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody Wants 4 days ago:
Yeah, a better number would be how much it cost to build the fuckers. I’m assuming they also need ongoing maintenance while they sit around rusting.
- Comment on CD Projekt exec says "the right thing to do" is release a real Nintendo Switch 2 cartridge for Cyberpunk 2077, not a game-key card, in message to other studios: "Do not underestimate the physical edit 1 week ago:
I’ve just started playing it for the first time, seems to run fine on my steam deck.

Isn’t that basically what signal does?
- Comment on Silent Hill 2 (remake) now on GOG 1 week ago:
I played the first one or two long ago, I think it was early 00s. They were great, I was living in a big, long-abandoned commercial building we’d squatted and had a big screen (for those days) I’d found & fixed, amp and speakers likewise. I’d get stoned, stay up late playing alone, so atmospheric and proper scary. I really enjoyed them.
I am sure I’ve forgotten enough plot to enjoy playing remakes but I’d be playing em on steam deck, and I’m a little worried they wouldn’t live up to my memories.

Dog and cat foods are good things to donate, also sanitary items.
- Comment on A month later, Japan’s cheap new PS5 rental service is still proving successful, with 200 locations renting out consoles at 100% capacity 3 weeks ago:
When I was a kid in the 80s this sort of business model was common with TVs and video recorders, then with early PCs. The machines were too expensive for many people to buy, so they’d rent instead. Cheaper consumer electronics killed this off, but as living standards get tighter maybe we’ll start seeing rentals becoming a thing again.
- Comment on Day 268 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing 5 weeks ago:
I like to see good animal or bird life in games, really ups the immersion for me if it’s gotta good algorithm. Do they react if you kick em? An I think ppl have enjoyed looking after animals in computer games as long as there’s been computer games. I remember these tamagotchi things in the 80s or 90s, little LCD screens with some sorta animal you had to look after by pressing a tiny button.
I’ve been enjoying your screenshot posts, cheers

There’s something I like about those cat pics. Maybe it’s the way they look almost cat, but not entirely. Do they move like cats?

I had a zx81, 1k ram, still could play pong.

Yeah that was when I finally left too. I just didn’t think it was worth it if I had to use the website or their crappy app

Somebody gild this!
- Comment on Musk 'Pressured' Reddit CEO to Silence DOGE Critics, Leaving Moderators Outraged: Report. 1 month ago:
Yeah I quit a while back. I thought it would be harder, I had several old accounts, moderated a couple of small subs, had loads of karma, spent at least an hour a day being active on there. I realised all that shit was sunk cost fallacy and I’m glad I finally left.

Yeah, they messaged all my accounts asking if I wanted to buy in. I actually considered it for an instant, then thought nah, fuck that.

Yeah this is one of the obvious faults in capitalism.

Sync for me, but same. Plus I didn’t like their attitude.
- Comment on Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows. 1 month ago:
Yeah, I came here when they did the API thing. I was spending too much time on reddit anyway, now I’m reading and gaming more in my free time.

I’ve not played any of the Yakuza games but they are definitely on my list.

I felt much the same about vice city. Changed my understanding of what games could be.

Tape will come off when they sweat, better sew them together. And trim off those unnecessary arms, it’s just efficiency.
