- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 director thanks fans as the game hits a 95% positive review rating on Steam 11 hours ago:
I played it on a pc that was ok at the time and the physics engine glitched out so things that were supposed to be sitting still on top of/next to each other would randomly collide and sometimes fly off. Still had fun with the game though.
- Comment on The “Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state” petition just got a response. 1 week ago:
I’d be fine with a minimum support time if an end of life date is not made clear when buying. Say a game has to be able to run for at least one more year after purchasing unless there is an explivit warning about the planned shut down date. That would at least seem reasonable to me.
Of course the optimum would be requiring either offline functionality, or, even better, enabling fans to host their own servers once the official ones shut down. That way games could be preserved for much longer.
But at the very least, people shouldn’t lose access after an unreasonably short time.

Well now I actively hate them instead of just not caring for their music, which i find to be ok
- Comment on Pierogi were good though 1 month ago:
To my knowledge AC in countries north of italy is basically nonexistent in private homes. Mediterranean countries do often have it though.
Fridges don’t even remotely compare to AC in power consumption, and inside temperature doesn’t differ as much as outside temperature in summer vs. winter because in winter the inside gets heated, and in summer isolation still keeps it below outside temps usually.

Ngl the people in the screenshot don’t strike me as white, rather western asian or somewhere around there. Not that I have much doubt that your average american christian cartoon just intends to make everyone white.
This perception is very subjective, usually when features aren’t super obviously one group, humans just default to what they’re most used to out of what fits their general appearance. For example anime characters will usually look european to europeans, but japanese to japanese people.

I also just don’t get the point of censoring. I don’t have any particular feelings about the word retarded, but I’m also autistic. Do I get annoyed when people use autistic as an insult (i hope it never reaches actual slur status because I’ll never accept it as such), esp for stuff that has nothing to do with ASD symptoms at all? Sure. Does it make it better if someone crosses it out in a screenshot, or censors it in a quote? Lolno.
- Comment on Games that force you to make hard choices 3 months ago:
Yea, from how you made it sound it seems similar to how it ended up being in nier - make a choice that does seem like it’ll end the game, but really it’s probably not very serious - credit roll, hope you saved recently. It would’ve very much benefited from simply autosaving at the correct time.
Imo it kinda depends on what kind of ending it is, if it’s still conclusive but maybe a bad end, that seems alright. Just if it clearly leaves me unsatisfied I’d be annoyed. I’d still really prefer just having a reload option, but I’d also rather game devs stick to their vision, just like fromsoft ganes really don’t need an explicit easy mode.

Because I am going to know ahead of time if a game does that? And it’s not like I didn’t enjoy nier automata.
Also no ones saying games can’t have anything like that, just that it’s not really what would generally be considered good design.
- Comment on Games that force you to make hard choices 3 months ago:
The random premature endings were already annoying in nier automata, and that did have save files. I almost never replay things, I get extremely bored. Took me forever to get through the second playthrough of nier automata as well, since that is so similar to the first.
If a game pulled that on me I just wouldn’t play it ever again and watch a cut scene compilation or something.
- Comment on What a bargain! 3 months ago:
There’s like ultrasonic cleaning machines for glasses they’re pretty great. For me getting my glasses clean properly takes forever, if I had such a service near me I’d probably use it sometimes (as it is I just don’t bother properly cleaning them and just wipe them occasionally)
- Comment on Anon likes bikes 3 months ago:
Most elderly people can at least easily ride electric bikes. At the point where they can’t, they also shouldn’t be allowed to drive a car anyway.
You can haul anything you need for daily life with a cargo bike (or even a regular one depending on your circumstances). When you do need more you can just rent a car for those rare occasions.
Disabled people yes but they don’t need anything as big as current cars either.
- Comment on Be careful when you go for a pee 4 months ago:
People will judge you for it in most situations (aka when it’s not a necessity out of emergency) but you’re not likely to be charged for it and for sure not with anything sex related because… pissing isn’t sexual.

Though sadly ime that is what teachers usually completely fail to convey. And then we wonder why so many people hate math.
- Comment on Jragon 5 months ago:
And also, not everyone even has the same schedules. USA has common “9-5” office jobs, in germany people more commonly start at 8. So even with timezones you still need the schedule adjustment to a degree.
I play online video game tournaments with players globally, one person will complain about having to play at 11 because it’s so early and would rather play at 0, someone else complains that 16 is too late and would rather play at 7. And even with many people in that community being very experienced with timezone conversion, they still occasionally mix something up.
One single global time would just be better. But I also brought it up once on reddit and got pretty much the same reactions.
- Comment on Its most common use case is interrupting games 5 months ago:
It isn’t on by default, but pressing shift I think 5 times fast in a row is a shortcut not even to turn it on, but to display a pop-up asking you if you want to turn it on.
You can disable that though. However it still seems like something that shouldn’t be happening by default, since no one is going to want to use it without knowing about it, and at that point opt-in seems better with how easy it is to do accidentally.
- Comment on Would you prefer if games had a separate difficulty setting for boss fights? 6 months ago:
I have the opposite issue, so yes. I don’t particularly enjoy having to constantly pay attention to every enemy, but I enjoy learning a boss fight for an hour or two. I’ve also played a few games where dealing with random enemies felt harder than dealing with bosses due to sheer numbers, and it would help with that too.
So I don’t think it’s really a design problem. If you know exactly what you want your game’s experience to be, then don’t add it. But I’d argue for most games it isn’t integral to the experience how the difficulty of normal mobs vs bosses compares, and people have different preferences for it.
