- Comment on Palworld - 2024/02/01 Update Patch v0.1.4.0 9 months ago:
It’s the same version, just different numbers. The update for Xbox should be out by now, I noticed there was an update for it a few hours ago.
- Comment on Steam has a new hit game, and it’s Pokémon with guns 9 months ago:
And it doesn’t run as dogshit as ARK proper
Or even Pokemon proper.
- Comment on Steamworks Development - AI Content on Steam 10 months ago:
Isn’t that practically the same as all games in general?
- Comment on Pick your poison. Dystopian style 10 months ago:
Big city taxi companies now have all the same features as Uber
But weren’t they saying above that big city taxi companies were basically the only decent taxi companies already? Them getting better doesn’t solve what Uber is providing an alternative for.
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 10 months ago:
Not to mention that Steamworks DRM is practically non-existent anyways.
- Comment on Adobe faces big fines from FTC over difficult subscription cancellation 10 months ago:
And they’ll keep being the de-facto option if you just keep accepting that they are. In the end, Adobe software and their alternatives are often similar enough that transitioning from one to the other isn’t difficult.
- Comment on Adobe faces big fines from FTC over difficult subscription cancellation 10 months ago:
Or better yet, just don’t use Adobe products. Staying in their ecosystem is how they end up getting money anyways if that’s what you know how to use.
- Comment on We're going in the wrong direction 11 months ago:
It really makes their tests for the higher bit rate “1080p Premium” quality just seem like reducing the current 1080p and locking out the one we already had.
- Comment on Steam Deck OLED announced 11 months ago:
On the other hand though, it’s Valve so they won’t get to 3.
- Comment on Rockstar Plans to Announce Much Anticipated ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’ 1 year ago:
You’d be surprised. If someone just happens to miss the initial wave of press, then they might notice the second wave when it does announce it.
- Comment on Silk tougher than Kevlar thanks to genetically modified silkworms 1 year ago:
And then getting caught by said worms and being cocooned as you desperately try to break free.
- Comment on YouTube cracking on ad blockers. 1 year ago:
I don’t think they’ll resort to that because that would mean getting rid of their own source of income. YouTube may not be getting ad revenue, but they still collect data and that’s where the real value is.
- Comment on Forza Motorsport has released on Steam 1 year ago:
Well, considering that time was either on the way towards bankruptcy, at bankruptcy, or barely recovering from bankruptcy, it’s a fairly easy explanation as to why they’re doing better now.
- Comment on incredible 1 year ago:
Something that people miss though is that they do hit some roadblocks that if not for some extremely lucky coincidences, they wouldn’t have any way to do it. Specifically for various materials that just so happen to be around them.
- Comment on YouTube isn't happy you're using ad blockers — and it's doing something about it 1 year ago:
It’s an arms race. They block adblockers, adblockers block the anti-adblocks. It breaks for maybe like a few hours before it’s circumvented.
- Comment on Epic Games to update Unreal Engine pricing for devs not making games 1 year ago:
Not to mention the amount of money they literally burn through EGS. If I remember correctly, the plan was that it wouldn’t be profitable for another 3/4 years (by 2027).
- Comment on Epic Games to update Unreal Engine pricing for devs not making games 1 year ago:
Most devs never would have made their own proprietary engines. With ready availability of engines to use, the number of developers skyrocketed as it lowered the bar of who can make a game.
- Comment on Epic Games to update Unreal Engine pricing for devs not making games 1 year ago:
It could be worse. They could have looked towards Autodesk for inspiration.
- Comment on Amazon Prime Video is able to remove a video from your library after purchase. 1 year ago:
I’m fairly certain it’s been the same number of hoops to get there. Same with actually trying to buy it specifically.
But yeah, its so sequestered away that honestly, I’d probably just outright pirate it if it wasn’t for the fact that it’s readily available on release and I’m familiar with the methodology of it.
- Comment on US issues first ever fine for space junk to Dish Network 1 year ago:
I believe it’s just a depiction of it. Looking around some other similar pictures, there were some images where it showed all “space debris” larger than 1cm. So, it’s not quite the level of fields of metal floating around out there.
- Comment on Amazon Prime Video is able to remove a video from your library after purchase. 1 year ago:
Amazon’s Music service, while it takes some hoops to jump through, actually does let you download music. Though I don’t know if that’s a general policy or on a per music/per artist basis.
- Comment on Sometimes I question my sanity 1 year ago:
That’s seldom the case on sites like PornHub these days.
- Comment on Oh, now that's just wrong! 1 year ago:
I personally disagree with New Vegas as the best Bethesda game. The qualities that people like the most about Bethesda, namely the open world and getting lost in it vibe, is least present in New Vegas.
- Comment on Microsoft Needs So Much Power to Train AI That It's Considering Small Nuclear Reactors 1 year ago:
Governments can barely figure that out,
Governments aren’t exactly known for efficiency. A corporation is less likely to bogged down by just the mere fallacy that “other entities can’t figure it out, why should they do it?”
- Comment on What is the attraction to kids? 1 year ago:
I don’t think that you can make a person into a pedophile, any more than you can make a person gay.
If you really think about it, we’ve seen arguments like that before. That pornography creates rapists. That violent video games creates murderers. And that’s just strictly on the consumption of media.
- Comment on Baldur’s Gate 3 player finds “rarest” ending where characters are dogs and cats - Dexerto 1 year ago:
It’s literally described in the very first sentence:
A Baldur’s Gate 3 player joked that their fiancée may have found the rarest possible ending for the game when Wild Magic turned everyone into dogs and cats for the final cutscenes.
- Comment on What games can you recommend that didn't get the appreciation that they deserved? 1 year ago:
Yeah, but you don’t need to tell me that in an unskippable cutscene (the fact that it’s unskippable is the part I have an issue with) and ironically, the gameplay is so compelling that I absolutely do not mind just wasting my life away toiling under these ridiculous work conditions.
- Comment on What games can you recommend that didn't get the appreciation that they deserved? 1 year ago:
The writing is a little hammy, but they have to rush it bc it’s really a minor bit of the game. (Spoiler, it’s very pro-labor and anti-capitalist, so if that triggers you, don’t play it.)
Which annoyingly, is the reason I bounced off the game. Breaking down ships is fun. That’s literally the whole reason I want to play the game. The story wants me to hate playing the game and won’t let me play until I listen to the entirety of why capitalism is bad.
- Comment on Reddit’s new Contributor Program will let you cash out gold given to your posts by other users in real money. 1 year ago:
I’ll be honest. I do miss Reddit. I often think about going back to it. Reading this though, it reinvigorates my belief, I made the right choice and I’m never going back.
- Comment on Dusk Developer David Szymanski: I'd rather pay Valve 30% and put up with their de facto monopoly than help Epic work towards their own (very obviously desired) monopoly 1 year ago:
I’ve been told there’s been an update for the back button since like a day after the new UI was released. Doesn’t matter whether in Beta or Stable, it’s still broken for me such that I get sent back to the library.
