- Comment on Epic is giving away 17 games as part of its holiday sale 11 months ago:
Playnite on Windows is the premiere experience for multilauncher support. Highly customizable, and it has a UX that’s much better to lay-users than something like Gog Galaxy 2.0. Integrations are well QA’d and updated. It’s wild that this was built as a FLOSS project because it’s better than what billion dollar companies have done by a mile.

All games are flawed; SV’s unacceptably so and your copium just justifies GF getting worse on that front.
- Comment on I'm not asking to be rich. 1 year ago:
Poverty prevents actually dealing with mental health as one’s mental faculties end up limited to desperate concern for housing and food security.
- Comment on The infamous amazon Union busting video 1 year ago:
It is illegal, but the US is completely toothless with enforcement on anyone with any amount of wealth.
- Comment on What game did you find in a bargain bin that turned out to be awesome? For me it was Z by Bitmap Brothers which I got at Zellers for $0.47 1 year ago:
I got Okage for PlayStation 2 at Liquidation World for like $5.
It’s not the best RPG, but it’s one of my favourites just for its whacky humour and fantastic character designs.
- Comment on Microsoft expected to finally buy Activision Blizzard next week 1 year ago:
I’ve been meaning to play that, but still haven’t gotten to it! Maybe next week

Better spent money than feeding these vampires.
Just realizing corporations aren’t your friends? Anyways, if you like hard, unique puzzle games,

I beat Kingdom Hearts 2 last week, so I’m just starting Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days. Taking a bit of a break though, so might not end up getting to it until next week.
- Comment on Dusk Developer David Szymanski: I'd rather pay Valve 30% and put up with their de facto monopoly than help Epic work towards their own (very obviously desired) monopoly 1 year ago:
Both are true. There can be multiple contributing factors, yes.
But yes, we shouldn’t support corporations. To that point I wholeheartedly agree.
- Comment on Dusk Developer David Szymanski: I'd rather pay Valve 30% and put up with their de facto monopoly than help Epic work towards their own (very obviously desired) monopoly 1 year ago:
I’d rather neither, and that companies open up their own storefronts with standalone downloads. Unfortunately we’re in the age of Walmarts for games.

You realize that Tencent doesn’t own Epic. They have a minority stake in them, as they do bluehole, ubisoft, activision blizzard, platinum games, paradox interactive, fatshark, funcom, and discord. They also wholly or majority own supercell, grinding gear games, and riot games.
No discussion of these other companies devolves into saying that these companies personally aid in genocide. Why is that? As far as I can tell, it’s just because a small contingency of gamers online don’t like how popular fortnite is.
- Comment on SAG-AFTRA authorizes strike against video game companies 1 year ago:
Good. The video game industry’s kinda terrible for everyone who works in it. I hope the eventual positive impact of the SAG-AFTRA strikes will lead to more studios and developers unionizing.

You’re right, I did get the pseudo-quote backwards.
As far as customer experience, that’s one thing, and that’s valid. “I prefer to use Steam because it has features Epic doesn’t, even if one’s a monopoly” though is very different from the quote above, which is distinctly about supporting X company over Y company; not about product difference, but actual support.
Let’s be real though, if Epic had literally just released Steam but with a good UI people would still boycott it, referencing xenophobic shit like “because china”, angry at tim sweeney, complaining about another launcher, and anything else. The PC market has this really strange and uncomfortable adoration of Steam. It’s console-warrior levels, really.
- Comment on The Minecraft wiki has been moved from Fandom to Minecraft.wiki 1 year ago:
Looking it up, there is WikiWikiWeb implements Federated Wiki, which Wikipedia describes its primary features as:
adds forking features found in source control systems and other software development tools to wikis. […]The software allows its users to fork wiki pages, maintaining their own copies. Federation supports what Cunningham has described as “a chorus of voices” where users share content but maintain their individual perspectives. This approach contrasts with the tendency of centralized wikis such as Wikipedia to function as consensus engines.
Gonna look more into this today, because this sounds super interesting to me c:

RIP Project G.G.
- Comment on Hideki Kamiya has left PlatinumGames 1 year ago:
Off-topic, but with Astral Chain my biggest gripe was that the missions were soooo long with no way to save in the middle of one so I could pick it up later q-q
- Comment on It’s A Deal! WGA & AMPTP Reach Tentative Agreement To End Writers Strike 1 year ago:
Good point! I also think it’s interesting this is days after several talk shows ended up being pressured into staying off the air pending the WGA strikes. Could be that they were gonna try using talk shows to normalize scabbing until the unilateral public backlash made it clear they wouldn’t get their way?
