I wish they'd replace Tim Sweeney with AI. Would genuinely have better takes on most topics, too. Sigh.

Yeah that shit is like selling heroine specifically to vulnerable people in depressing phases of their life. But wth gambling ads and dark patterns in video games we somehow accept it. 😕

- Comment on ‘Clair Obscur’ Leads The Game Awards 2025 Nominees With 12 Nods; ‘Silent Hill f’ Has Four Nominations 2 weeks ago:
Especially if you watch people game there's 0 chance you missed the big ones this year looking at the awards, those being CO:E33, Hades 2, Silksong, DS2, Split Fiction and MKW. They were all streamers and youtubers were doing (and kinda still are with Silksong) for months.

Assuming you play on PC I'd near-universally recommend it. This is because if the dodging/parrying mechanics do annoy you, your only option is to change to Easy, which also reduces enemy damage by a ton and makes the game boringly simply. Mods allow you to have the slightly more lenient timings of Easy but the HP/damage numbers of Normal, which for me personally was a nice combination as I got frustrated parrying the later bosses.

Where were you looking then?
Not at any of the 159 positive reviews opencritic has aggregated? Not at any of the >5000 positive Steam user reviews just in the first week, either? Neither any of the ~60 positive reviews on GOG, either?
Where exactly did you look?
- Comment on ‘Clair Obscur’ Leads The Game Awards 2025 Nominees With 12 Nods; ‘Silent Hill f’ Has Four Nominations 2 weeks ago:
I'd say it's a "good weird-game" instead of a "good, weird, game". Which granted it shares with the first game.

Oh wow, you entirely missed Death Stranding 2, Hades 2, Hollow Knight Silksong and Clair Obscur? The latter basically took over the entirety of all gaming discussion and news for ~2 months.
- Comment on ‘Clair Obscur’ Leads The Game Awards 2025 Nominees With 12 Nods; ‘Silent Hill f’ Has Four Nominations 2 weeks ago:
I dunno. It's a very well-made game, but also kinda... understandable not on the same level as Hades 2, Silksong of Clair Obscur.
Plus it got a GOTY nomination or two, I bet. Which just doesn't put it high enough though.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 3 weeks ago:
I wish we had a pricing-point for the VR headset. I'm still considering getting a Quest III and break it open a bit, since the hardware is so damn good. This seems marginally under it (monochrome instead of full-color etc) but running SteamOS instead of Android sounds amazing.
But I'd need more information on it first - and granted, knowing if ever it releases over here. 😅
I'll definitely get the new controller if possible though. Still rocking my original, and it's still the best way to play mouse-centric games on the couch, I prefer it over a lapboard with an actual mouse.
- Comment on Today's featured article on Wikipedia: Bejeweled 3 weeks ago:
Anyone got a favorite "more involved" version of this?
Or more specifically, how is the new Puzzle Quest, if you've tried it? Is it good, unlike all the mobile-centric later PQ games that came out over the years? Because until now HuniePop/HuniePop2 were still the best Bejeweled variant, IMO, but I've not tried PQ yet.

- Comment on Mozilla's Firefox adds Perplexity's AI answer engine as a new search option | TechCrunch 1 month ago:
Yeah it's pretty lame.
I will say in its benefit that if there is to be AI-summaries as answers to search queries, this has the right ideas: List your sources atop, even have a separate sources tab, include direct quotes where possible (though this feature is weird, I don't always get it, maybe topic-specific).
I still don't like it (just link me to the bloody source instead) but I know a ton of people who explicitly want those AI-summaries as their answers, and this at least exposes what was used to create the answer.
Rubbish, but on a conceptual level doing better.

I think the fact that they are very very glacially slowly delivering on things at least, all the while self-discovering software development instead of learning it, that aggravates me even more. Bloober Team could finish this faster and more competently than these clowns...

And you can be your ass that for how outdated it'll look when it releases in 2035 or so, it'll still chug at <30 FPS on your NVidia 35090.

You can just admit you were wrong, you know? Both about current legal cases and about how how proofs of negative claims are viewed in mathmatics particularly logic, and in philosophy. That's okay. Sometimes we are wrong, and we learn from accepting that.
I don't disagree Nintendo is a shithole company, after all. Just take it as a learning experience: More than one company can be shite at the same time.

You can't prove a negative
*blinks*
You are calling me the "dumbass", here? 😅 Both logic and philosophy say this perspective is wrong, and also, funnily enough, if this were true (as in, it's not possible to proof a negative assertion in a burden-of-proof scenario) then that very claim could not be proven either? Because "You cannot prove a negative" is, in itself, a negative assertion.
Luckily for us this is of course wrong, and you can prove a negative. Especially in matters of fact, since you could find a list of current filings of Microsoft and hence show that no, of all their ongoing lawsuits, there are none that are targetting developers (which is not the case, it was easy enough to find two cases without digging any deeper). - Comment on 2 months ago:

Yeah the exceptions are rare, and then many like HuniePop 1 and 2 or Subverse lean intentionally into overdone slapstick.
(That being said HuniePop I can't recommend enough, easily the best match-3 out there completely ignoring the porn parts)

And then you usually get "But the sex isn't realistic!!!"... yeah? Neither is the violence, unless you are frequently the Doomslayer or something?!
Like, how is that even an argument. How can violence in games be preferrable to sex?!
