- Comment on ‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront 2 days ago:
I disagree. Avoiding media because of certain themes is perfectly fine. I for example will not play games like Hatred or Nazi Games, no matter how good they could be. It’s the kind of themes they try to avoid which show how scared they are of everybody around them.
- Comment on 2 North American 4 you has been created 2 days ago:
Most often the changes I saw till now is the missing (red) cabbage and the bread is different.
But yeah, I’m with you: I haven’t yet found one that is better or even equal to the real one
- Comment on 2 North American 4 you has been created 2 days ago:
I want to protest the Döner one. Other countries sell something they call Döner, but the similarity is superficial at best to a real one. It’s a fun little thing I do on vacation in other European countries: try to find a “Döner” and see what travesty they give me
- Comment on YSK that Politico is a subsidiary of Axel Springer, a right-wing propaganda house 4 days ago:
Easy, show me the left aligned billionaires that own media channels.
George Soros is an often used Boogeyman by the far right, but as far as I’m aware he doesn’t own a media empire like Springer, Murdoch and all the other ghouls.
- Comment on Games you fell out of love with. 4 days ago:
For me it was Warframe. I adore the style of the game and it’s lore. The gameplay and variety of the different weapons and characters gave me a lot of fun playtime. But the way RNG is used and how timed special missions are abusing dark patterns became more and more clear, the longer I played.
And at a certain point I realized the addiction it nurtured in me and I had to stop cold turkey and never touched it again afterwards.
- Comment on I worked some prison and jails. They always put this big heavy green thing on you if your on suicide or solitary watch. My question is if Epstein was on watch then how did he suicide? 2 weeks ago:
Normally I would agree, but this one does have really strange occurrences. First there is no camera feed, then the camera feed released is strangely missing exactly the time around his death. Like how many strange occurrences does it take for you to say: wait a minute, why is it so hard for them to prove everything happened as they said.
- Comment on More games like Road 96? 3 weeks ago:
I think Pyre would fit as well, next to Hades. Pyre has a bit choice based difference between the story development in contrast to Hades, but it’s still linear for the majority of the game.
- Comment on "It is out of the question to let a boss run rampant" - Ubisoft workers strike against "disastrous" cutbacks 3 weeks ago:
For sure. Is not like the bosses at other big companies are magically better. They select for the same criteria, so they get the same crap.
And honestly, AAA industry should go down for 99% of them. The way they treat their workers is not something that should be supported.
- Comment on "It is out of the question to let a boss run rampant" - Ubisoft workers strike against "disastrous" cutbacks 3 weeks ago:
Again: And who is responsible for that innovation? The workers or the bosses?
- Comment on Deadlock Major Update — Old Gods, New Blood 3 weeks ago:
Looks interesting, especially the patron design. But the new heros look more like overwatch than deadlock too me, the faces look too pretty.
- Comment on 2025 Steam Awards winners have been revealed 1 month ago:
Good thing that the award is not about you or me liking it but instead about INNOVATIVE gameplay.
- Comment on 2025 Steam Awards winners have been revealed 1 month ago:
No, people should pick by considering the nominees, not by whichever name they recognised most.
But if you seriously tell me that ARC raiders is more innovative than a game where you yell into a microphone to activate your spells in a wizard Team Deatchmatch, I doubt your sincerity.
- Comment on 2025 Steam Awards winners have been revealed 1 month ago:
Nothing. Steam Award are sadly popularity awards.
- Comment on So far... 1 month ago:
Honestly I’m annoyed at Shield Hero for the possibilities they wasted. Make a defensive hero? Emphasise the importance of support and team work in a fight instead of raw power on a single individual? Naahhh, screw that! Let’s give the support hero the uberpowerful aggressive mode and make him the messiah and single saviour.
Arrrghhh, whyyyyy?!?!??
- Comment on who was the aggressor in cold war? 1 month ago:
I mean Cuba was a crisis and dangerous for sure, and the USSR pushed it to the near breaking point, but I still find it funny that the USA got nervous when strategic rockets were close to them, something that was true for Moscow nearly the whole time.
- Comment on who was the aggressor in cold war? 1 month ago:
Both sides were the aggressors in general and each side had moments where they were the more active part leading to confrontations.
I don’t think the cold war can be described as one single conflict with a clear aggressor, which is the whole point why it is called a cold war.
I’m not knowledgeable enough if there are statistics about which side was more in the wrong or did more aggressor stuff.
But for me, knowing that the USA did the Iran and CIA stuff while the USSR did Afghanistan and KGB stuff is enough for me to decide both were elitist assholes that didn’t care for normal humans but just wanted to increase their own power.
- Comment on How come laptops or pc's don't have a "webcam" facing both ways instead of just the user? 1 month ago:
Because tablets are not normal PCs, but rather big smartphones, which are expected to have cameras.
- Comment on What do other languages use for "magic" words; or names and titles in fantasy and sci-fi novels or cinema? 1 month ago:
While you are right in general, Fullmetal Alchemist isn’t an example of glorifying Nazi Germany. The country is a military dictatorship, they committed a genocide while conquering a neighbouring region and are not portrayed as the good guys. The war and genocide was shown to have long lasting bad effects both on the victims and the perpetrating soldiers. And the leadership is literally working for the big bad.
Just wanted to clarify, as this is one of the few examples where they play the Nazi card straight instead of going: “nice uniform and marching music”.
- Comment on xkcd #3182: Telescope Types 1 month ago:
Not an expert, but as far as I know, you nearly never see a true single picture, but always a combined one. So they take multiple slightly overlapping pictures who are seeing the hidden middle spot of other pictures.
- Comment on Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II to release in Spring 2026 2 months ago:
Wait, they released a demo for Mechanics 2 already?
- Comment on Tyranny: Recommended starting character with a mind to story, not ease of combat? 2 months ago:
I would also advise to go with magic, since you can generate your own spells here, which is really fun. And you will have a high Lore stat, which will help you experience more lore background of this fantastic works.

- Comment on Change my Mind 2 months ago:
You are right, but Bloodlines 2 is a bad example. I only heard bad things about that game prerelease, more advertisement would not have convinced me to buy it. And the fans were rather taken aback by the changes to gameplay, namely focus on action and removal of RPG elements.
- Comment on EA says 98% of Battlefield 6 matches have been cheater free thanks to tough security 2 months ago:
That and also: there are still cheaters, even after all that crap? That means those cheats still working are just not yet well known and distributed enough, which is simply a matter of time then?
Well good thing those players gave EA kernel level access or it could happen they play against cheaters… Oh wait.

- Comment on [Claymore] There are as many replacements as we want. If we lose them, we can just make new ones. 2 months ago:
Not exactly, sorry. But from what I remember about the story, it was probably said after the time skip, which happens in the 60’s chapters.
- Comment on GOG survey: "My thoughts about games are connected to GOG, especially when it happens automatically." 2 months ago:
At least in my email it said it takes roughly 20-25 minutes, which fit for me.
- Comment on GOG survey: "My thoughts about games are connected to GOG, especially when it happens automatically." 2 months ago:
Not all. I like to joke about “GabeN our saviour” as well, but those who earnestly say that: yeah, that is not healthy.
- Comment on GOG survey: "My thoughts about games are connected to GOG, especially when it happens automatically." 2 months ago:
I liked that one, such an easy way to throw out everybody not paying attention.
- Comment on GOG survey: "My thoughts about games are connected to GOG, especially when it happens automatically." 2 months ago:
For me the "GOG is part of me as a person"was the weirdest one. That just felt icky. You are a company, stop trying to be more than that. I like you for your DRM free stance, but everything more is not healthy.
