Not at all rude, imho, maybe the culture is different where you are from?
I value animals very highly, so why should they get named after food, that seems rude.
- Comment on What is up with the trend of naming pets after food? 1 week ago:
Nah, real names are the best names for pets. Makes them more part of the family.

- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 2 weeks ago:
Do you have a source for that? All I can find on their Steamworks site is the rules on Steam keys being restricted, not other versions. Maybe I missed that email part in the news.

You dont like games that look like you have grease smeared over your monitor?
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 2 weeks ago:
It only applies to Steam product keys though, so developers cannot sell cheap Steam keys on other platforms while still taking advantage of Steam's services.

Epic Games Launcher would always end up a pile of shit anyway. Tim Sweeney is a fuckhead and he has lots of investors to please.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 studio boss calls out "hurtful", "personal" videogame reviewers - "sometimes I think it'd be a good idea for critics to be scored, Metacritic-style" 3 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on Steam Owner Valve Faces $900 Million Lawsuit Over PC Monopoly Claims, Following UK Tribunal Ruling - IGN 3 weeks ago:
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 As The Division 3 development continues, Ubisoft announces layoffs at Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft Stockholm as part of 'a proposed organizational restructure' 5 weeks ago:
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' 5 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' 5 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" 5 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 1 month ago:
Yeah, the rest I can understand, Arc Raiders is anything but innovative.
- Comment on The 2025 Steam Awards Winners 1 month 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 1 month ago:
Steam Awards is a popularity contest.
- Comment on How Are You Guys Handling This? 1 month 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. - Comment on ublock Origin can get rid of Cookie Banners 1 month ago:
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 1 month 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 1 month 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.

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? 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month ago:
Thinness should be defined by it's thickest point.
