- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 2 weeks ago:
- Halo 2
- TLoZ:OoT
- Half Life
I can’t deny that nostalgia has to do with the first two fossils in the list, though I still maintain that I like them more than their latest counterparts in their franchises.
Not Half Life though: it was ~15 years old when I first played it, no nostalgia there.Still, between the many games I would gladly build a monument to, those are games that I can play beginning to end without getting bored, annoyed or burnt out (as long as you allow me to use the Ship Of Harkinian randomizer for Z:OoT, otherwise replace that game with Perfect Dark ig).

90€ + 50€ • DLC? Isn’t that too little for the poor record-profit industry titans with budgets in the billions and nonsensical brand loyalty all over the world?

That’s why I recommensed Dr. K’s take and Ross’, they didn’t lean into the drama.
Though, most of the critiques against Jason I’ve heard are sound; while it’s true that dramatubers search every nook and cranny of his past for slander, they find more stuff than any reasonably sympathetic person should have. - Comment on Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures? 4 weeks ago:
The (alleged) swatting didn’t happen before “The End Of SKG”.
I also don’t think he deserves cancellation, but he has lied so many times, so confidently and so unrepentantly that he deservers very little credibility.I understand that some people would feel sympathy for the somewhat excessive negative attention he got (not from me, he lost my sympathy the first time I saw him blatantly lying and lobbing insults) but with the way he ALWAYS behaved, he absolutely had some of it coming.

From the 5-10 min of his videos
There’s the problem: you won’t get evidence of a murder if you ask the murderer for it.
He streams a lot, so the things he says or does are spread out, especially if you’re only looking for noticeably damning stuff like the rim job related rant against SKG.His confidence and speechcraft makes him very good at steering conversations by lying or deflecting, as long as you trust what he says.
Good places to start looking may be his conversation with Dr. K or Ross’ “The end of Stop Killing Games” on Youtube, both are hosted by level headed people.
I can only assume you haven’t seen the latter, because at the very least it makes it very apparent why people dislike him. - Comment on YSK that "AI" in itself is highly unspecific term 5 weeks ago:
I don’t share the feeling. I’ll gladly tie a M$ shareholder to a chair, force them to watch me play Perfect Dark, and say “man I love these AI settings, I wish they made AI like they used to”.
- Comment on YSK that "AI" in itself is highly unspecific term 5 weeks ago:
The term “Artificial Intelligence” has been around for a long time, 25 years ago AI was an acceptable name for NPC logic in videogames. Arguably that’s still the case, and personally I vastly prefer “Artificial Intelligence” to “Broad Simulation Of Common Sense Powered By Von Neumann Machines”.
- Comment on YSK that "AI" in itself is highly unspecific term 5 weeks ago:
In defense of people who say LLMs are not intelligent: they probably mean to say they are not sapient, and I think they’re loosely correct if you consider the literal word “intelligent” to have a different meaning from the denotative “Intelligence” in the context of Artificial Intelligence.

- Comment on Hytale, once touted as the Minecraft killer, is ceasing development 1 month ago:
Oh no I’ve spent at least 1000 hours, generally speaking the game is for me. I’ve just burned out and became familiar with what I consider to be its flaws.
- Comment on Hytale, once touted as the Minecraft killer, is ceasing development 1 month ago:
I think this is the point of hard disagreement, I either make do with what villagers offer (by ignoring them entirely) or start exploiting, and neither feels satisfactory; I wouldn’t call it in-depth either, data miners and META pioneers dug all the depth out of the system.
As for villager curing: the act of curing a villager is an intended mechanic, but what is not an intended mechanic is locking up a villager with a zombie, let the zombie eat the villager, cure the latter for a price reduction, rinse and repeat. Not required (like anything in the game, which is the point of it), but cuts some of the grind.
- Comment on Hytale, once touted as the Minecraft killer, is ceasing development 1 month ago:
Thing is, at some point you get the endgame infinite-weapon perk by aggressively working against developer intent; the zombification exploit is an exploit (unless they fixed it? idk I haven’t played since before the update with the warden), setting up a farm with the desired villagers is an absolute chore AND Mojang made it worse by limiting Mending to swamp villagers (again, idk if that is still true).
By having a repair XP cost increment, you basically make endgame-enchanted items impossible to repair at all, and they’re so tedious to create in the first place that you can’t just forget about having mending.
You can live without them, but then you’re either speedrunning the game, playing creative mode with less perks, or never using powerful gear because of the “I’ll just keep it for when I need it” phenomenon.
So, enchanted items are an afterthought to a niche of players, and an annoyance to the majority.Don’t get me wrong: my problem with the current(?) system is not with resource farms themselved, it’s with the gear progression being based on tedium and anti-tedium exploits.
Just thinking about the fact that I’d have to spend way more time enchanting my stuff than using it, makes me not want to get back to it. - Comment on Hytale, once touted as the Minecraft killer, is ceasing development 1 month ago:
On the spot, I’d say a fix for anvil mechanics.
Remove the XP cost increment upon repairing items, so that Mending is not an end-game necessity anymore.
Personally I’d say we could use an extra row in the inventory, but I can see why someone would think that’s too radical.
- Comment on Hytale, once touted as the Minecraft killer, is ceasing development 1 month ago:
Minecraft has many issues unrelated to the game’s visuals, some of which have only received somewhat unsuccessful band-aid fixes (notably, enchanting+repairing mechanics)

Wouldn’t the average nerd only need a good ol’ regular torrent client?
The slightly-more-than-average nerd could be incentivized through a specialized client that also acts as a mod maager (iirc Nexus Mods does this, minus the torrent protocol), and the bigger nerd would write themselves a Linux client without using glib nor GTK while evading bioluminescent three-letter org agents of specific ethnicity and sexual orientation. - Comment on What's an absolutely medium quality game? Not great, incredible or terrible or any single ended extreme. Dead medium quality 2 months ago:
I wouldn’t know what the thing that gets me the most is, there is so much that Cyberpunk 2077 corpo ass studio has done to ram the franchise into the ground after digging it up from its sacred resting place.
Other than brand loyalty (which at this point shouldn’t even exist anymore), I wonder how H:I ended up lasting years more than Concord.

I think Halo Infinite qualifies, I played the multiplayer waaay back when it released so things may have drastically changed (haven’t heard of it being the case);
it didn’t / doesn’t do anything that no other game does, nor did / does it do anything particularly well nor better than its competitors (including every Halo from Bungie).I did watch a walkthrough of the campaign, and it doesn’t look particularly engaging either.

- Comment on Pokémon, alchemy and magic kind of do exist 2 months ago:
Magic is computers
- There are runes that can create golems, or perform math like no human ever could
- A rune can only be read or written by mages of the correct school
- Computers are haunted by insect-like ghosts who can’t be seen by the naked eye
- Ward spells, created by mages only for mages, can be used to detect the ghosts or defend against them
- Magic manifests when mana flows through the spellcasting implement
- Old runes are incomprehensible to younger mages, but years of
reverse-engineeringstudy from the dedicated ones can reveal their secrets - Souls may lose their
storage devicepyhisical form, but as long as they exist, they can be brought back to life
