- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? 2 days ago:
You can replay any game, of course, but Clair Obscur’s gameplay is mostly on rails with basic JRPG combat repeated over and over again, so I wouldn’t bother. (Honestly, I found the gameplay boring within a dozen hours or so.) Its music is where it really shines. You could buy the soundtrack alone for a fraction of the price.
BG3’s atmosphere is good. The soundtrack IMHO less inspired than Larian’s previous soundtrack and not really outstanding like the one in Clair Obsucr, but still decent. And as a game, BG3 has a lot more to offer.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? 2 days ago:
For interesting game mechanics and replay value: Baldur’s Gate 3.
For beautiful music and scenery: Expedition 33.
If I had to choose, it would be BG3.
- Comment on It Took Many Years And Billions Of Dollars, But Microsoft Finally Invented A Calculator That Is Wrong Sometimes 1 week ago:
Finally, you say?
To emphasize that bugs in implementations of floating point arithmetic are far from rare, we mention that the Calculator application in Microsoft Windows 3.1 evaluates f[(2.01 - 2.00) = 0.0.
- Comment on Subnautica 2 studio Unknown Worlds are now suing their former execs for stealing docs and sharing them with the press 1 week ago:
As PCGamer’s Andy Chalk suggests, the suspicion is that the lawyers have picked Unknown Worlds as plaintiff, rather than Krafton, because they think they’ll get more sympathy that way from Johnny Average Gamer.
For good reason. Many of us had never heard of Krafton until we learned about them avoiding payment of the bonuses they promised to the people actually making the game.

Seconded. Old stuff that seems worthless sometimes turns out to be sorely missed years later when it can no longer be recovered.

Lemmy really hates piracy… in this specific context.
Specifically, Lemmy hates it when corporations profit by using people’s work without permission or payment.

I give it a +1 for being a nice idea, and a -1 for being built as a javascript application (with all the related privacy & security issues) instead of a web page.

- Comment on Red Dead Redemption 2 was amazing. 4 weeks ago:
I haven’t seen that video, but I suspect I would agree. RDR2 is something of a paradox.
They did an amazing job on environments and characters, and then turned around and hobbled the game with bizarre PC controls, a save game system and unskippable cut scenes woven from pure contempt for the player’s time, and dog shit mission mechanics that punish the player for any attempt to exercise agency and really have no place in an open world game.

- Comment on Day 375 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 5 weeks ago:
This game took mediocre gameplay on rails, and through a great storyline and acting, built it into something outstanding. I wish I could play it for the first time again. The sequel doesn’t even come close, IMHO.

I don’t know of any native Linux games that are specifically for Arch Linux. Your favourite distro is a bit of a red herring.
- Comment on Fuck RePosts, for defenders of OC 5 weeks ago:
Or I probably have green skin. Or I am probably a monster. Or I probably do whatever else you can imagine that might sway community opinion against me for contradicting you.
Once again, you are wrong. In both senses of the word.
I suggest learning what words mean before you go round using them in public, especially in accusations. It might help you to avoid embarrassing yourself. And, if arguing with people is what makes you happy, consider learning to avoid informal fallacies while you’re at it.
- Comment on Fuck RePosts, for defenders of OC 5 weeks ago:
It’s theft. You are stealing from artists.
No, it is not theft. Not in the dictionary sense. Not in the legal sense. Not in any sense at all.
It might be copyright infringement, inappropriate, and/or rude, depending on the particulars and the jurisdiction. But your claim that it is theft demonstrates that you either have no idea what you’re talking about, or you are deliberately misleading people.
Please stop.
- Comment on Fuck RePosts, for defenders of OC 5 weeks ago:
I think they know this, and were aiming to exploit that initialism by associating its negative connotations with the totally unrelated thing that they don’t like.
- Comment on Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures? 1 month ago:
I don’t find the absence of criticism suspicious. The petition makes sense.
What I do find suspicious is the sudden emergence of criticism now that it looks like it might succeed. I smell astroturfing and media manipulation.
