- Comment on Apple quietly released this year's BEST laptop 9 hours ago:
So is everyone downvoting because the video is bad or because they are a Linux nerd upset someone posted something that’s not Linux (as they downvote while using an Android or Apple phone)?
- Comment on Remedy CEO Tero Virtala steps down after nine years 4 days ago:
Yeah AW1 honestly isn’t that fun. I played about half of it and then just read the story and watched some videos about.
AW2, however, is excellent. Very very good. And I spent enough time with it to get the platinum trophy.
- Comment on Ex PlayStation exec says Sony can't keep "increasing the graphics power" with new consoles after tech plateau, but PS5 has already "made almost every game a better game" 6 days ago:
Just make it a law that every game has to use the Decima engine because Death Stranding 2 runs at 60fps, loads in basically 1 second, and is a contender for best looking game of the generation.
- Comment on Massive Pokemon leak purportedly covers next-gen games, scrapped ideas, and more 1 week ago:
Honestly, it’s looking like Monster Hunter Stories 3 will by my next “game where you collect monsters in some fashion” game.
- Comment on If Peter Molyneux had a time machine to remake his cursed cube game, 'what you would give, now, would be a cryptocurrency thing' 2 weeks ago:
Is this dude the biggest snake oil salesman in gaming?
I guess Fable was alright, but everything Peter promises seems to never manifest.
- Comment on Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed 3 weeks ago:
That’s why I don’t really use Steam to buy games anymore, too.
At least maybe use GoG if possible to get a DRM free version.
- Comment on Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed 3 weeks ago:
For me, when the Switch 1 came out it was just nice to have everything on the device and you never had to do the most heinous thing of taking a moment to put a cart into the device.
But more and more I buy one to two games a time and focus on those, so that issue is largely not a thing any more.
- Comment on Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed 3 weeks ago:
Honestly, I’ve kinda gone back to buying physical media.
I bought DK Bananza on cart, and guess what? After I finished it, I gave it to my brother. Imagine that! Sharing a game you own? Madness.
I’m eager to pick up Ghost of Yotei from the store this afternoon, as well.

I have a friend who was laid off from there today. Definitely feel bad for them.
- Comment on YouTube is now flagging accounts on Premium family plans that aren't in the same household 1 month ago:
Oh I know, I’ve seen a lot of “Billionaires are evil, but not MY billionaire. DAE buy 50 games during the steam sale I’ll never play LOL?”

Gabe and his 300 yachts thanks you.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? 1 month ago:
Having only played BG3 and bouncing off of it relatively quick, I’d say the other one.
- Comment on Capcom settles it: No, Pragmata isn’t a secret Mega Man game 1 month ago:
Sure it isn’t wink wink
- Comment on Elden Ring on Switch 2 Is a Disaster in Handheld Mode - IGN 2 months ago:
Elden Ring, the game where people choose to play the PS4 version on the PS5 because the PS5 version isn’t optimized well, doesn’t run that great on the Switch 2?
Crazy.
- Comment on Coding students whose jobs were taken by AI forced to find work at Chipotle 2 months ago:
Exactly.
Even college graduates need time to learn and build experience as they work up the ladder. A lot of theory and stuff someone might learn in college won’t necessarily be what they’ll find in the job world.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed 2 months ago:
I do! I enjoy camera modes in games a lot, too. I like to look at the architecture in games because I think it’s fascinating.
For BF, though, I do think a little playground would be great. Since they have that map builder tool, I may end up just having to make one myself.
- Comment on Worst part about living in Europe 2 months ago:
I was very fortunate to go on a vacation last month in Belgium where we rode bikes to several different towns.
It was awesome, but the cobblestone streets in some of those old cities are ROUGH. Just bone shaking. The chain on the bike I was riding bounced off once when I needed to shift.
- Comment on Microsoft Is Now Being Sued Over Sunsetting Windows 10 2 months ago:
I’m old enough to remember when MS said Windows 10 would be the last Windows and they’d just update it over time.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed 2 months ago:
I always liked going into older BF servers that weren’t so populated just to be able to get a lay of the land without being destroyed in three seconds.
Or to be able to use the vehicles and get used to them without as much threat.
Maybe I just want a mode that lets you free-roam maps…
- Comment on Spotify to raise prices in September 2 months ago:
I’ve had a grudge against Spotify waaaayyyy back when it first launched as an app on the computer.
For some reason, the Spotify app on my Mac wasted a ton of resources and battery. And it made me so mad I’ve never used them since.
Then years later they made dumbass Joe Rogan the face of the company so fuck all that.

Square: “Alright, we are developing a new game that looks pretty neat. Who is available to come up with the worst names possible for the title, characters, and locations?”
- Comment on What are the best free mmorpgs for a beginner? 2 months ago:
As far as dungeons in FF14, at this point, I believe that basically every dungeon can now be done “solo” (that is taking 3 other NPCs with you to complete the dungeon). And the trials, I believe, mostly have that as well, though I’m 100% positive on all of them.
But the point is: as far as dungeons go a player can get through them by themselves now. In fact, I think much of the main storyline content is now solo-able.
- Comment on The Astronomer CEO's Coldplay Concert Fiasco Is Emblematic of Our Social Media Surveillance Dystopia 3 months ago:
Yeah I agree.
Had this couple just not freaked out, it wouldn’t have gotten as much traction. Perhaps even the person who took the video and posted it may not have if it was just a “normal” reaction.
I mean, the guy is a piece of shit. And she is too if she’s knowingly having a relationship with a married person, presumably without the consent of his wife who she probably knows.
But this particular thing I don’t think is emblematic of anything other than the FO after the FA.
- Comment on The Star Wars Outlaws flop - Guillemot blames waning interest in the franchise 3 months ago:
I actually really liked this game.
This was another, though, that launched with a bunch of bugs on pc. And while I didn’t run into a ton on PS5, the game crashed for me here or there. And that sucks.
But I played and beat this game. And I quite enjoyed it. But I wouldn’t say it’s a masterpiece or anything.
- Comment on Holy sh*t: Jack Dorsey just Announced Bitchat(A secure, decentralized, peer-to-peer messaging app for iOS and macOS that works over Bluetooth mesh networks) Licensed Under Public Domain. 3 months ago:
Really not interested in anything the guy with the terrible facial hair wants to make.
- Comment on Xbox is cancelling Rare's 'Everwild' and ZeniMax's new MMORPG IP as part of broader cuts — with 'Perfect Dark' impacted as well 3 months ago:
At least they can use that money they saved for checks notes powering CoPilot no one is asking for.
- Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become 3 months ago:
I just feel bad for a lot of kids because maybe their phone or tablet has the game they want but often they are playing using just the touchscreen and that interface sucks.
It just does.
I get that kids get used to it, but it’s like getting used to being kicked in the nuts when you have the option of not being kicked in the nuts.
