- Comment on 'Valve does not get anywhere near enough criticism': DayZ creator Dean Hall says the 'gambling mechanics' of Valve's monetization strategy 'have absolutely no place' in videogames 3 days ago:Genshin shows odds, Valve shows nothing. Genshin directly shows you the stuff, Valve has a slot machine like animation. I have students who play both Genshin and CS2 and spending money them. In Genshin they spend to get a character they want, in cs2 is to try to make money… And casinos can hardly be honest given the couple of time I read about cases in which a customer wins at slot machine and casino claims it was faulty.

- Comment on  1 week ago:Well, Duckov peaked at 146k players today . 
- Comment on  1 week ago:While game may looks meme, its mechanically sound and thought out. Hell, quest descriptions are good enough(yet to find any problems myself) to finish them without looking them up. 
- Comment on  1 week ago:It runs well through Proton, no anti-cheat and game itself is cheap enough. 
- Comment on  1 week ago:when you die you just go get your loot Unless you set difficulty to Extreme or in custom But yeah, competitor in name but it copies quite a lot of Tarky elements and it adds some comedic elements. 
- Comment on Space battle games for casual player? 3 weeks ago:If you want bigger ships than fighters: Rebel Galaxy(its completely different compared to RG Outlaw) - big ships, can hire a single mercenary, combat for you happens in 2D and its more of naval style with broadsides and automated turrets. Between the Stars - you have a spaceship with a crew and can also hire 2 more ships to help you out(once you gear them), game got plenty of quests with some puzzles to boat, “ground combat” which is using dice(or can be disabled completely) and space combat takes a bit to get used to. 
- Comment on What's your greatest "gaming high" you've been chasing ever since? Please take care not to spoil anything, if you are going to be story-specific. 3 weeks ago:In Division 2 before NY expansion: So, for some reason they have set their maintenance 30minutes after reset time( so if reset is at 10am, maint was at 10:30). So, in their discord we gathered a random group and decided to challenge ourselves to complete it before maint hit. During the run we were all talking how somebody will get the unique AR right before the servers go down… Lo and behold it happened to me(sad the clip is gone after gfycat went down and I fried my old HDD) but we laughed for good 5 minutes and thinking if the AR will be there or not after maint… It was.

- Comment on It's rude to show AI output to people 3 months ago:Hey! ChatGPT can be creative if you ask it to roast fictional characters … somewhat! 
- Comment on ‘You can’t pause the internet’: social media creators hit by burnout 3 months ago:So no follow-up questions? “What content are you gonna make? How are you gonna promote it? Any backup plans?” 
- Comment on Anthem servers shutting down January 12, 2026 3 months ago:The Crew(2014-2024) lasted a bit more than Anthem (2019-2026) . And Ubi seems to stick for longer with their flops compared to EA. 
- Comment on Zynga shuts down Torchlight 3 developer four years after its acquisition 4 months ago:The only good part of TL3 were the classes. TL3 as MMOlite had an “interesting” idea with the campaigns having different ideas and some dynamic events on maps. Then they went with SP and just stringed the campaigns one after another so you have to regear quickly after the zones… and then final boss IIRC does all 3 type of damage and you just sigh if you get that far. 
- Comment on 'Stories are our bread and butter': Larian is building a special team to lay out the plot of its games years in advance 5 months ago:Valhalla is such a weird beast in the narrative. I just completed the base main story and then end was kinda… awkward. At the end of it I still havent uncovered the leader of the order, hell I think less than half of the members are part of the main story. I like that each region was its own thing and the pacing was fine though in writing nothing was really groundbreaking. Replacing side quests with the smaller mysteries was also a good decision but OH MY LORD, can we be done with the modern world or maybe get a team to release a walking sim that resolves it and just go make “historically” - based games with checklist open world. 
- Comment on Should we boycott games with loot boxes? 6 months ago:can add Loop Hero and most of Kairosoft games.
