- Comment on THIS is real. There is an app that allows you to text with Jesus 14 hours ago:
I see they went with “white Jesus” instead of what he actually looked like.
- Comment on Red Dead Redemption 2 overtakes Mario Kart 8 as the 4th best-selling video game of all time, boasting 79 million sales 1 week ago:
Rockstar probably: “Well we just can’t afford to do a 60fps patch with these sales numbers…”
(I know it’s because they are greedy shits and just want to do a HD version or something on PS6.)

You have to log in to your old Affinity account, and from there you can find the download links.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
This is a good point. I’m going to download all the installers they have today and ferret them away just in case.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
At least V2 still works and won’t just disappear. You can still use those apps you bought.
But it’s just sad to see this new path. I used to buy all the apps just because I liked the business model. I don’t really ever use Publisher, but I bought it anyway.
Now…there’s nothing that’ll get me to use this “free” shit.
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 2 weeks ago:
Just like every Android phone that comes pre-loaded with trash apps you have to delete.
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 2 weeks ago:
This isn’t my experience, and I had a iPhone 12 Pro up until a couple of weeks ago. Google Maps generally ran alright that I can remember.
On the newest phones it’s really smooth, but those phones also have enough horsepower to make pretty much any app run smoothly.
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 2 weeks ago:
Honestly, I use it all the time now since I plug in my phone to my car and it’s right there.
It’s fine. Sometimes I use Google Maps. It’s also fine.
I actually like Apple’s approach to describing when to turn. It’ll say stuff like “go past this light and turn at the next” instead of vague shit like “in 1000 feet turn right.” Bitch, I don’t have a tape measure.
I think people who grip about Apple Maps as it is today probably just haven’t used it and want to gripe for griping sake.
- Comment on Monster Hunter Wilds is getting outsold by its 4-year-old predecessor 2 weeks ago:
I’m not a big MH head or anything, so MH Wilds was my first game in the series. And I enjoyed it a lot!
HOWEVER, playing online with my brothers took so much trial and error we only did it a few times until we beat the story. Then it kinda wasn’t worth the hassle.
It’s so obtuse I can’t imagine how it even got that obtuse.
- Comment on An ex-Intel CEO’s mission to build a Christian AI: ‘hasten the coming of Christ’s return’ 2 weeks ago:
This justification is always funny.
“Oh, your all powerful god needs the help of Brian the middle manager to get its work done for them?”
- Comment on Apple quietly released this year's BEST laptop 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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" 3 weeks 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 4 weeks 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' 5 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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.

Yeah, hurry and buy up, Gabe needs a new yacht!

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 2 months 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?”
- Comment on YouTube is now flagging accounts on Premium family plans that aren't in the same household 2 months ago:
Gabe and his 300 yachts thanks you.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? 2 months ago:
Having only played BG3 and bouncing off of it relatively quick, I’d say the other one.

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.
