This. I’ve been developing my exit strategy for years and am reluctant to buy too many games on steam. It’s going to hit most people like a freight train
- Comment on Reddit lost it 1 day ago:
How pathetic how much lemmy doesn’t like this comment. Even 15 years ago, censorship on the internet was taboo. Now these lame-ass losers want to pull the ladder up behind them after enjoying whatever the hell they wanted in peace.
- Comment on Misogyny or something... Idk 2 days ago:
If only there was a way to prevent people from looking at your cleavage…
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 6 days ago:
Been playing Cardinal Quest 2. It’s such a joy to come back to this game again every few years. Aside from perhaps DoomRL, it’s my favorite coffeebreak roguelike.
It’s got such excellent graphics and audio compared to the rest of the genre. The environments (many being outdoors) are much more interesting than your typical dungeon. The classes are quite good and even within a class there is plenty of variety with the skills and talents you take.
The achievement system is great for giving you stuff to do and unlock besides just winning. Itemization is on point for a game with runs that last half an hour. Never tedious, usually impactful.
- Comment on YouTube is now flagging accounts on Premium family plans that aren't in the same household 1 week ago:
Monetization itself is the problem.
- Comment on production line 1 week ago:
I miss the energy of using image compression to get good-looking images that are small in file size. People see nothing wrong with a simple image that’s like 5 megs.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Yet another case of “kids aren’t allowed to do something I did.” Now you want to pull the ladder up behind you.
- Comment on The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your Software 1 week ago:
Yeah well luckily for them, people don’t seem to know how to write anything but webapps anymore anyway.
- Comment on Are those of us who grew up on older games more attuned to latency? 1 week ago:
First multiplayer FPS I played was Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (released in '97). In that game, you had to lead your shots to a silly degree to actually hit anyone. But I think you’re right; by then most games weren’t suffering from that problem as much.
- Comment on Are those of us who grew up on older games more attuned to latency? 1 week ago:
On the one hand, we’re more accustomed to better hardware latency. On the other hand… we played first-person shooters on 56K modems. The lag was legendary
- Comment on The internet kind of sucks right now 2 weeks ago:
I would. If you wanted to make money from it, you should have sold it as an eBook instead of posting it to some forum.
- Comment on The internet kind of sucks right now 2 weeks ago:
Am I the only person who doesn’t care if people ‘scrape’ my ‘knowledge?’
That’s the whole point of putting something online. So anyone can look at it. I’m not about to get petty about who has access and who doesn’t.
- Comment on 4chan refuses to pay UK Online Safety Act fines, asks Trump admin to intervene 2 weeks ago:
Why would an American website pay fines because of the laws of a random country?
- Comment on Reddit is using AI to determine users beliefs, values, stances and more based on their activity (posts and comments) summarizing it to Subreddit Mods. 2 weeks ago:
That’s a useless summary that describes 99% of reddit and lemmy users
- Comment on Mozilla warns Germany could soon declare ad blockers illegal 3 weeks ago:
Great, but how could they possibly enforce it? It’s infeasible.
- Comment on Report: Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt your data 3 weeks ago:
I have literally never had one of these things happen to me before. I’m pretty sure people just make them up for clicks at this point.
- Comment on Caves of Qud wins the Hugo Award for Best Game or Interactive Work 3 weeks ago:
First screen is much more readable at a glance.
- Comment on FungUSS Enterprise 3 weeks ago:
Why is there so much mud on the base when it’s nowhere near the soil? Plus, these kinds of mushrooms don’t grow on logs.
- Comment on Perplexity offers to buy Google Chrome for $34.5 billion 4 weeks ago:
lol this number makes no sense. Minecraft was worth 4 billion a decade ago. Chrome is worth way more than 34
- Comment on YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaround 4 weeks ago:
This is what makes Librewolf better.Image
- Comment on Lemmy be like 4 weeks ago:
lol, you literally put words in the original commenter’s mouth:
I know you think this will harm you and everyone you know, but it’ll be much better if you just stay quiet instead of vocally opposing it
and now you’re incredulous about something similar being done to you? lame
- Comment on Lemmy be like 4 weeks ago:
Only because most of the people here don’t have the faintest idea what AI is or how it works.
- Comment on Lemmy be like 4 weeks ago:
I’m a lot more sick of the word ‘slop’ than I am of AI. Please, when you criticize AI, form an original thought next time.
- Comment on GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation 4 weeks ago:
Microsoft buying Github is the best example of the fox guarding the hen house that exists. Even better than an ad company making a web browser.
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 4 weeks ago:
Makes me wonder how many servers out their think their customers are being cheap because they only tipped X% when in reality they actually tipped 15% or whatever before tax.
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 4 weeks ago:
Shadow of Mordor is just so much fun to screw around in. Does a really good job making you feel badass
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 4 weeks ago:
You’re not the only one. I’ve beaten The 7th Saga more times than Chrono Trigger lol.

I’ve been living under a rock. What happened to baseball?
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 4 weeks ago:
Star Wars Galaxies was kinda like that. No idea if it’s still playable though.

My best friend and I used to spend summer afternoons trying to figure out the answers to all the riddles on the chests. We sucked at it but when we finally managed to crack one, the feeling was euphoric.
The music was awesome. I used to listen to the CD while I slept.
