  I disagree completely. It's complete ass. The first thing you should do in any Larian game is install a camera mod.

  It should just be a freecam.

  Surely they don't fuck it up 4 times in a row... right?

  That's funny in this context, because BG3 has a terrible camera.

  I'm hopeful Valve, and by extension Steam, will be fine. The employees are like minded, I don't see it going public and derailing once Gabe has left.

  Good job UK, you will push children to dangerous unmoderated sites instead! All in the name of state surveillance!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Terraria 1.4.5 Releases January 27⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The final final update?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK police blame Microsoft Copilot for intelligence mistake⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe we should just be banning AI?

  Yeah, I mean I still give them a go, but ultimately I think first person is better suited to shooters.

  If Division 3 has a beta or whatever, I will probably try it too regardless. If the game is good enough even with TPS, then that would be great. I doubt it will be anything remarkable though, given Ubisoft's implosion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As The Division 3 development continues, Ubisoft announces layoffs at Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft Stockholm as part of 'a proposed organizational restructure'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well yeah that's the thing though, you are filling in the blanks. I can't remember all the marketing material, I think they did cut a lot of the map though.

  Even if they did manage to make it expansive and interesting enough, the third person would ruin it for me. It was clearly made with slow camera movement of controllers in mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As The Division 3 development continues, Ubisoft announces layoffs at Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft Stockholm as part of 'a proposed organizational restructure'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh I remember it looking a lot better, it does look very bland in that trailer now I have watched it back. I suppose your mind fills in what you actually want from the game, but then after it releases you realise you get exactly what you were shown, a mediocre and boring game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Larian will no longer use GenAI for Divinity concept art, and any genAI used for other games will be "trained on data we own"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why even bother? New concept ideas are better coming straight from the mind rather than using a model to regurgitate existing things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The 2025 Steam Awards Winners⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, the rest I can understand, Arc Raiders is anything but innovative.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The 2025 Steam Awards Winners⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There's differences in playthroughs, if you choose, but it is linear. The game ultimately railroads you to the same endings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The 2025 Steam Awards Winners⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Steam Awards is a popularity contest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Are You Guys Handling This?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Get a Steam Deck? You can hook it up like a PC, use it sat around. Though its not a powerhouse. Wait and see how the Steam Machine fairs? There's still a good second hand market for parts too.

  Its a shitty time at the moment with scumbag companies and AI, so consumers are completely fucked.

  Also: Fuck subscriptions.
  Plus the game pass versions of games are complete dogshit compared to the Steam versions most of the time.

  An article about annoying pop-ups immediately prompts you with a pop-up. Get the fuck outta here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ublock Origin can get rid of Cookie Banners⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Websites did it to themselves by abusing cookies to track users. Instead of consent popups though, the EU should have just blanket banned tracking in general.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Article: I switched to eSIM in 2025, and I am full of regret⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  eSIM sounds good on paper, but the implementation is horrible. You should be able to easily back them up. Also I expected to be able to have many many eSIMs rather than be limited to one or two.

  The guy isnt a publicly traded business though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG is Getting Acquired By Its Original Co- Founder: What It Means For You⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good thing to get away from CD Projekt, to be honest. I hope GOG thrives more in the future!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Are Cars Getting Rid Of Android Auto?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. It needs heavy regulation, physical buttons is all the driver should have access to.

  We also need to ban subscription services in vehicles.

  Consumers cannot be trusted to spend responsibly and look out for their best interests.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leaker Who Apple Is Suing Says 'Screw It,' Here's the Foldable iPhone Early⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know better cameras demand more space, but you cant claim your phone is thin with them. Not that I think thin phones are useful, pointless gimmick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leaker Who Apple Is Suing Says 'Screw It,' Here's the Foldable iPhone Early⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It was a flop because no one really wants thinner phones, they are harder to use. The iPhone Air was also extremely overpriced and missing basic features a phone a quarter of the price has.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leaker Who Apple Is Suing Says 'Screw It,' Here's the Foldable iPhone Early⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thinness should be defined by it's thickest point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leaker Who Apple Is Suing Says 'Screw It,' Here's the Foldable iPhone Early⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This folding iPhone also looks like the Pixel Fold

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The argument for it boils to "im lazy". Which is why they are struggling to come up with anything else that justifies the negatives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Cute.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It's not indie, it had the full support of a publisher. Indie is a handful of people making a game with their own money, not getting a millions of dollars in investment from a publisher.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They want to argue for AI, they just don't know how. Says it all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly, they can't be angry if we don't pay anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Predictable deflection and going in circles again.

  They are spending money on AI, more than the cost of a texture :^)
