- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 director thanks fans as the game hits a 95% positive review rating on Steam 14 hours ago:
No. That’s called Star Citizen, and it’s a scam at this point.
- Comment on Atari Revives Infogames As A Publishing Label 1 week ago:
These are just logos, names, and brands. They have no real meaning behind them. The people and the company are still the same as it always was.

<delay the time to hit Continue for comedic effect>
BANG!
- Comment on Microsoft open-sources infamously weird, RAM-hungry MS-DOS 4.00 release 2 weeks ago:
Even if they were, it would be easy to just decompile and figure it out. Even DOS 5.0 would make more sense to open-source.
This is just another argument to revert copyright laws back to 25 years, and give this tech back to the rightful owners: public domain.

Ahhh, yes, this damned 404 Media article again. I’m not going to re-hash my arguments here.
- Comment on NYC’s AI Chatbot Tells Businesses to Break the Law 1 month ago:
LLMs are still good for the kind of flowery language you need in HR, but not for any sort of fact-based generation.
Think of it as being creative, not logical.
- Comment on YSK: it's not just Tesla, 1/3 of cars in built in the last ten years have passenger/rear windows that are almost impossible to break in an emergency. 2 months ago:
But partially submerged when 20% of the door is still above water then yes it should be possible to still open the door
Partially submerged, the door would be very hard to open, due to water pressure. The water pressure needs to fully equalized between the inside and outside of the car.
Did we learn nothing from Mythbusters?
- Comment on Star Citizen's first-person shooting is getting backpack-reloading, dynamic crosshairs, procedural recoil, and other improvements to 'bring the FPS combat to AAA standard' 2 months ago:
This forever-in-development thing they have going on is ridiculous.
It’s a feature, not a bug.

Or SSSniperWolf.
- Comment on The Genius of Disco Elysium's Portraits 2 months ago:
It’s a shame that we’re really not going to see much of this world fleshed out, after having the author’s rights to his universe stolen.
- Comment on EA flop Immortals of Aveum reportedly cost around $125 million, former dev says "a AAA single-player shooter in today's market was a truly awful idea" 2 months ago:
Probably spent it all on cable TV ads, where their audience ain’t at.
Or just blow and hookers.
- Comment on Nothing was off-limits for retro game ads 2 months ago:
That’s not an ad. That’s just some cosplayer showing off her muff.
- Comment on Nothing was off-limits for retro game ads 2 months ago:
Nerd blackface.

Like Fabio? Pretty much any depiction of a barbarian is some muscular dude wearing only a loincloth and his broadsword.

Wired used to have actual journalists. How far they have fallen…
- Comment on Is the bot/troll situation getting worse? 3 months ago:
I made two posts critical of reddit and they each seemed to have been astroturfed by toxic reddit shills.
Here or at Reddit? I have never ever ever seen proof that Lemmy is pro-Reddit at anything. Like, most of the people here migrated from Reddit on bad terms with them.
- Comment on Is the bot/troll situation getting worse? 3 months ago:
It’s either that or, gasp, actually paying moderators.
I’d rather just automate the solution. It’s still going to run into some amount of human tweaking and biases, but at least it won’t require the massive amount of manpower that moderation requires right now. Something that requires so much manpower that no corporation is willing to actually pay the workforce.

It turns out that trying to push one server to be the by far the most popular Lemmy server, maybe, just maybe, might be antithetical to the concept of a Fediverse.
Welcome to The Consequences of Their Actions!
- Comment on Spec Ops: The Line permanently removed from Steam and other digital stores 3 months ago:
Of course, because Gamers, everyone instead lost their shit and got angry that there was a false choice because they were being told they should walk away but weren’t given a button prompt and a special ending to do so.

- Comment on Power drunk mods 4 months ago:
Does it count as “leaving” if there’s only two posts in the last month, and one of them is about “Vulcan Sex Workers”?
- Comment on 8 Years later my Steam Link is still getting regular updates 4 months ago:
the reason they don’t sell it anymore is because the steam link app is on most smart devices now
Not available for Roku or webOS. That’s hardly “most smart devices”.
- Comment on 8 Years later my Steam Link is still getting regular updates 4 months ago:
Which is why you can’t buy a Steam Link, amiright?
I use mine regularly, and I would be sad if it completely breaks.

Article? This is just a shitty blog post.
- Comment on Why It's Okay That Someone Hasn't Played Your Favorite Game 4 months ago:
Still… Outer Wilds made me realize that I should pay attention when people praise a game to death. Like, when some game is voted as GotY and garners a bunch of rewards, I probably shouldn’t just have it sitting there on my Steam list uninstalled. Maybe I won’t like it the way other people do, but at least I can figure that out fairly quickly.
Life’s too short to waste time on triple-A trash and bad games.
- Comment on Playing Prey (2017) - BioShock vibes for days! 4 months ago:
I love Prey. One of the best games of the 2010s, and really carries the torch for the Shock games.
If you finish Prey, try out the Mooncrash DLC. Criminally underrated. It’s kind of a different game, but in a good way. Expands the story and gives out clues to how this whole thing got started. Also had some pretty haunting personal stories to tell.
- Comment on The Day Before Servers Shutting Down Next Month, Leaving Game Active for Just 45 Days - IGN 4 months ago:
Skill Up had a very good video describing the whole history of this debacle.
- Comment on John Romero: Happy 30th birthday, DOOM. [...] Thank you for playing our games, and thank you for keeping DOOM alive, all these many years. 5 months ago:
In high school, we wasted time in the computer lab playing Doom. We didn’t know what a “null modem cable” was, but a bunch of us had one and knew we needed one to play multiplayer Doom.
