- Comment on Is it true Star Citizen players are "melting down" because of the No Man's Sky update or is that just clickbait? 3 days ago:
Those are called drama YouTubers. Just block all of them, will be good for your mental health.
- Comment on Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it' 1 week ago:
“The team is heads down,” Huckaby said. “We drew a line in the sand when we said 2026. I don’t know if we’re going to make it, I just know that we’re going to do every single thing possible to make it. And part of that is not taking time for the distraction of CitizenCon.”
That means they already know they are not going to make it. Otherwise why say this more than one year before?

When parents actually start doing things to change the world! Instead of complaining online!! YEAH !!!
- Comment on ‘I would like for us, when we fail, to fail early and cheaply’: PlayStation Studios head says Concord taught a big lesson | VGC 3 weeks ago:
During a Q&A session following Sony’s latest financial results, Tao said that despite the negativity surrounding Sony’s live service offerings thanks to the issues with Concord and Marathon, she still believes live service games are worthwhile because they’ve added a revenue stream that didn’t exist for the company five years ago.
so they learnt nothing…
- Comment on The Future Is Being Delivered by Chinese Drones 3 weeks ago:
This is actually the new big thing in China but I am not convinced it make economic sense (yet).
Is drone really much faster than transportation we have now? Remember drones flying safely require a pilot too.
- Comment on We can't keep making videogame stories for players who aren't paying attention to them 4 weeks ago:
Talking about lost feature, I feel like like less modern games like to give their players a comprehensive map.
It used to be that map is a basic feature in games that involve any kind of navigation but nowadays some games just…don’t?
- Comment on We can't keep making videogame stories for players who aren't paying attention to them 4 weeks ago:
It depends on the game. I still like Metal Gear Solid 1 & 2.
- Comment on China has built the world’s largest bullet-train network 5 weeks ago:
(I just realize that the link posted by OP is a 2017 article)
Of course. I agree that cost benefit ratio needs to be considered. I also agree that in some cases low speed rail already suffice, but is it the argument they are making? I can’t read the article despite I want to because there is a paywall.
- Comment on League of Legends is testing a new WASD control scheme, 16 years inThe WASD controls will launch in public beta first for an ‘extended run.’ 5 weeks ago:
Already seeing backlash from the gatekeeping league community. LoL is losing out to newer games partly because of the unintuitive control scheme.
When even Street Fighter is innovating despite the FGC’s reluctance, League needs to evolve or will be slowly left behind.
- Comment on China has built the world’s largest bullet-train network 5 weeks ago:
Why do we have to consider public transport “a waste of money” when they are not being run as a business???
China considers HSR a public good! They are meant to give convenient transport to everyone!
Also, do people realize road maintenance takes a lot of money too? Should governments stop doing that because they don’t make money?
FXXK this everything has to make money attitude of neoliberliasm!

I used to think education help people make right choice. I am rethinking that position now.

I hope they all started listening to AI for their life choice. Will be interesting

- Comment on AI Is A Money Trap 5 weeks ago:
People immediately knew how internet could help us even during the dot com bubble. Anyone who had used Google (or before that, Yahoo) would immediately fall in love with them with how they help their live. AI (LLM)? Not so.

Huh? This is good news for the kids. I have seen too many kids sticking to their iPads all the time.
- Comment on The PS4 version of Genshin Impact is being delisted and shut down | VGC 1 month ago:
Unfortunate, but considering that the PS4 is more than a decade old, I suppose supporting that platform must be a pain for the developers.
Also my guess is that new competitor from Kuro games is beating Genshin on the graphic front and Mihoyo wants to up their game.

- Comment on A few people are ruining the internet for the rest of us 2 months ago:
Its really not just a few people, its the system of neoliberalism that incentivised these behaviours.
With strong, common sense regulation, the internet would have been a much better place instead of the hell hole we have now.
- Comment on I’m not ignoring your message – I’m overwhelmed by the tyranny of being reachable 2 months ago:
This is so relatable… The one good thing about pre-internet is that you can really just be away and don’t need to respond to anyone.

Lol at so called rule of law that only benefits the rich
- Comment on What are signs that the game devs aren't gamers themselves? 2 months ago:
Probably priority? They have a tight deadline and skipping cut scenes is not a priority feature.
I have also seen game where dev deliberately ignore call for adding a skip scene button because they want their players to read the story. You can disagree with it but maybe the dev really think their cut scene is worth watching. That doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t play games, its just that they have high pride in their work.
I know the above is a controversial take. But I have no problem watching cut scenes if that is the dev’s intention.
- Comment on Windows 11 has finally overtaken Windows 10 as the most used desktop OS 2 months ago:
Main problem is MS is cutting security update for Windows 10 soon unless you pay them.
Using a bad OS is one thing, using an insecure one for work is dangerous, so I was forced to update.
- Comment on What are signs that the game devs aren't gamers themselves? 2 months ago:
The replies here feel more like “list of game features that I do not like”
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls Online Dev's Unannounced MMO Was Doing Well and Even Scaling Up as Xbox Cancelation Blindsided Staff 2 months ago:
The MMO market is still big, just not as big as its used to. A MMO by a successful team has a much better chance than most games.

For more context, Bloomberg also reported on this:
Xbox Executives Were Blown Away by an Upcoming Game. Then They Canceled It.
bloomberg.com/…/microsoft-s-xbox-cancels-blackbir…
No paywall version: archive.ph/daYYd
But Blackbird’s cancellation was particularly shocking because it had blown away executives at Xbox just a few months ago. During the demonstration in March, Spencer was enjoying the game so much that Matt Booty, the head of Xbox Game Studios, had to pull the controller away so they could keep the meeting going, according to two people who were in the room.
This is a game that even Spencer was enjoying and then they just cancelled it. I have no word.

- Comment on ‘Lidar is lame’: why Elon Musk’s vision for a self-driving Tesla taxi faltered 2 months ago:
Unless we figure out who would “personally” be liable when an accident happen we should not have any self driving cars on the street.
Right now if someone crash into my car I know who is liable.
If self driving car crash into my car, are you telling me to sue Tesla? Lol, as if that is feasible.

Agreed. Not sure if anything can save this game at this point. I just want an 8 hour campaign in the spirit of the original…
