  3D level design where you can get stuck on elements when you just want to move past them. Especially frustrating in racing games or sections where you have to move fast. Controls are just not precise enough to deal with this under stress.

  Visible polygons and interactable polygons are not the same thing. Play Banjo Kazooie and Yookah Laylee (including the remake) to see the difference. The latter has you constantly bump into things because the environment is not smoothed out.

  On the other hand some studios take it to the other extreme and make you walk almost on rails, childproofing every corner. A good middle ground is needed.

  Congratulations! I’m happy when I finish two games in a year.

  It’s like going to a store and asking a random person nearby to pick out the item you want, which you are fully capable of reaching yourself, while you keep standing around and do nothing. Great human interaction.

  I understand if the article is long or convoluted but even refusing to click the link and do a quick check is lazy AF and should not be encouraged.

  (I personally don’t care for this game)

  Valve will have a good enough overview on the situation and if they think it will hurt sales they can simply make a statement. They can handle it.

  It’s interesting to discuss about the price but being upset about „idiots“ who have wrong ideas and playing hero for a multi billion dollar corporation is something I’m confused about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So what exactly does that change? Value already decided the price and that is what you will have to pay. Who cares what anyone ever predicted?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just finished it with all achievements (except final Takezo fight, yet) in about 50 hours. It was a little repetitive yes, but it didn’t bother me much. The setting, presentation and gameplay checks all the boxes for me so I kept going.

  But I would’ve also been happy if it was shorter. That’s my general opinion on games these days.

  I want to feel that time again when we ran a mod-packed Minecraft server with friends and we built a whole city with really creative and elaborate structures and cool tech. Everyone had their speciality and it all came together perfectly.

  Nowadays none of us have the time anymore to get lost in games for weeks and months like that. Also it’s hard to get back into it after such a long pause. Everything has changed so much.

  Me when I learned that Minesweeper actually had logic and you’re not supposed to just click randomly.

  Go away with your logic!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eat lead⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You can throw as much science at them as you want. God could have just created everything in whatever state he wanted to. Same thing with the virgin mary discussion. Who cares if it makes sense scientifically, god can just make a fertilized egg appear. How lame would god be if he could not do that? This is the basis christians start from, wo why even bother trying to debate that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you leave your consoles on?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Only in standby so it can do updates in the background. The PS5 eats up way too much power to just leave it running.
