I started playing on a PC in the 90s so as long as it’s above 40 with consistent frame pacing it’s fine. Those VRR displays and games targeting 40 are a game changer for me and why I play on Xbox.
- Comment on After Years of Struggling To Be Noticed, My Indie Game Was Covered By VICE 6 days ago:
I want to learn about it either through an independent journalist or from a space dedicated for self promotion. Ads are poison, haven’t we all learnt?
- Comment on After Years of Struggling To Be Noticed, My Indie Game Was Covered By VICE 6 days ago:
It becomes a problem once others see this is permissible. It’s not that much now but once everyone realises they can put ads here for free how do you imagine it goes from there?
- Comment on After Years of Struggling To Be Noticed, My Indie Game Was Covered By VICE 6 days ago:
You’re mostly here to self promote from what I can tell. It shows in your post history and the fact that you though it’d be more important to link to Steam and not the article itself.

I can’t recommend this thing enough. I started listening to it while hanging my laundry but I had to stop couple of times because I was temporarily dead due to laughter.

- Comment on Forza Horizon 5 is getting released in PlayStation 5 3 weeks ago:
Probably same reason Sony keeps releasing their games on PC before they release their sequels on PS5. They’re no longer getting sales on original platform so they’re not losing much and they build up the taste of the franchise because someone might like it enough to buy their hardware. It feels very weird to do in this case though.
- Comment on What movies have you watched this week? 3 weeks ago:
I finally finished On the Silver Globe. What started out as an amazingly ambitious sci-fi for being shot in the late 70s, it falls of a cliff after the prologue. It’s probably budget constraints but later parts are something between way too artsy theatre play and a Burning Man festival. Watch first half an hour and then go check out stills from the rest of the movie because scene compositions and art direction is insane.

How can you still hate it? It’s been enough time to discover that it’s the greatest love story since Sam and Frodo.

- Comment on Next Xbox Rumored To Launch In 2026 With New Call Of Duty 1 month ago:
IF 2026 was a real date that wouldn’t matter that much. Microsoft wants to be the first one to sell you the last console you will
needbe able to afford to. People will get it for generationally better experience but there’s not much else to look out for on the horizon. Hardware got too expensive for the consumer and games beyond certain budgets are much too risky. Consider upcoming trade wars and overall bleak economic outlook and you have to assume every player is looking for a survival strategy. Market analysts say that Microsoft is going to become software publisher primarily again but this makes no sense to me. Game Pass Cloud and Xbox are the only places where they don’t have to share the spoils with owners of other platforms. Obviously they’ll want to keep it going regardless of circumstances. Microsoft could be banking on getting high-end market for now and transition with revisions of the same hardware into lower segments with time as market conditions improve.I’m very stoned currently so I can’t vouch for the quality of my analysis long term but I will stand by it for now.
- Comment on Next Xbox Rumored To Launch In 2026 With New Call Of Duty 1 month ago:
I call bullshit even if it would make sense.
PS5 Pro wanted to do RT at smooth framerates but turned out to be way too undercooked. We’re seeing glimpses of that on XSX too with Indiana Jones and Dragon’s Dogma 2 (that 40 FPS VRR window makes it work). It’s working as a tech demo that’s building appetite for more because of how transformative to the experience in both games that is. If Microsoft could deliver it at this timing it would be extra awkward for Sony who need to keep on going with current hardware for a couple more years not to look like Sega with 32X and Saturn. Even if Nvidia shows something revolutionary with new line of GPUs it will be prohibitively expensive in the context of consoles anyway.
- Comment on AMD announces FSR, will only be available in RX 9070 Series cards 1 month ago:
They made FSR vendor-agnostic for reasons that turned out to be irrelevant in the long run. It was just couple of years ago when games supported DLSS only and engines weren’t ready for plugging multiple different upscaling solutions. Nvidia and AMD tried to get exclusivity deals and things seemed fire for a moment. AMD hoped FSR would be enough for smaller players to adopt it but being vendor-agnostic handicapped them so much that everyone developed their own solution anyway (PSSR, XeSS). Not that it really matters that much because in the end modern AA gives similar results to old FSR and game devs will use what works best.
- Comment on The Two Genders 2 months ago:
People 18-39 vote predominantly for Konfederacja (far right), KO (populist centre-right), PiS (populist right). I could dig some more precise sources with gender data but I think it’s telling that these are the results even with women in the mix. Coincidentally even among young women voting for far right is more common than for centre-left. I’m not mentioning left since their popularity is within the margin of error.
Yeah, artists skew left but you won’t find a more bigoted libertarian than a young polish programmer. Most of them are also pretty spoiled too because of the degressive tax system that favours them so much.
- Comment on The Two Genders 2 months ago:
Please stop blaming those things on everything except people. I’m Polish. Polish people drink homophobia with their mothers milk. We didn’t need to import it from US or Russia and it’s still better than the 90s. Average developer is a young male who predominantly votes for outright fascists. The reason CDPR appears progressive is because they calculated it to be more profitable.
- Comment on What game surprised you with their length? 2 months ago:
Is that correct? Kojima bought full rights to the IP couple of months ago and released Death Stranding on everything immediately. Seems like it’ll be timed exclusive at most.

Could be that US rejected modernity because it wasn’t working for them.

Politicians lie so I’m mostly interested in outcomes, not the narratives that politicians use to make things happen.

They will do what’s most profitable. If domestic production becomes competitive someone will do it.
- Comment on How Trump's Tariffs Could Cost Gamers Billions 2 months ago:
If you proposed something else that would uplift lower classes sooner they’d probably vote for it. What Democrats were offering wasn’t credible enough because people have been deceived for too long.
- Comment on How Trump's Tariffs Could Cost Gamers Billions 2 months ago:
Are you arguing that tariffs and other market restrictions are ineffective at incentivising moving of production sites?
- Comment on How Trump's Tariffs Could Cost Gamers Billions 2 months ago:
I’m not here to convince liberals that they should try to care for the poor. I’m here to argue that the jig is up for the liberals - people are voting for literally anyone, including fascists, that promises to change the course.
- Comment on How Trump's Tariffs Could Cost Gamers Billions 2 months ago:
Tariffs can serve as a stimuli to build out local manufacturing capacity, which sounds pretty leftist to me. I understand arguments for laissez faire policies but at heart they are liberal and not left. It’s the refusal to accept it that led to far right being as popular as it is.
- Comment on How Trump's Tariffs Could Cost Gamers Billions 2 months ago:
Won’t the tariffs incentivise domestic production and give work to more regular folks? Sounds like a leftist idea to me.
- Comment on From Deadpool and Wolverine to Dune: Part Two, all 10 of the highest-grossing movies of 2024 are sequels – and it's the first time that's happened in at least 50 years 2 months ago:
The title is quite confusing. It sounds like the last time all top 10 spots were occupied by sequels was 50 years ago. What they actually meant is that over the last 50 years numbers of sequels in top 10 was gradually increasing (starting from 0 in 1973/1974).
- Comment on Why are most mobile games trash? 3 months ago:
Most of the games in AA that I played have been reworked to remove monetisation while their regular App Store versions offer freemium model only.

If you own an iPhone just get Apple Arcade through Apple One, it’s really worth it if you game on your phone. No predatory monetisation, regular self-contained games, plenty of high quality titles.
