Nah, we can bend space. Sam Neill checkmates God.
- Comment on 'Oh god': There's a buried Steam help page that shows how much money you've ever spent on the platform, and you may not want to know 2 days ago:
1300$ in 17 years. Around 1200 games. I think I probably spent more elsewhere and got steam keys. I still have a physical copy of portal 2, which was cheaper at release than on steam haha. Good times.

I get it and yeah, it does sound like you have other things to worry about. Not everyone does though. Most people who are hurt by the pricing of a video game console are probably in a better position where their more basic needs are already met.

And if you go to Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, Congo, people are worried about losing limbs, life and actual stage 1 Maslow survival. They probably envy your problems right now. They keep focused on shit that actually matters, like not dying.
Yeah, people care about different things related to their circumstances. That’s life.

Its the only way you can signal your intentions. Being predictable is the best way to ensure yourself and other from harm on the road. Combine these two and its a no brainer. Always use them.

50 eur, second increase in its lifespan. 1st increase was 50 eur as well.
- Comment on 'There Are So Few Of Us Left': Even Full-Time Games Journalists At Big Websites Are Feeling It In 2025 1 week ago:
Can’t they just follow the trends and write short interesting pieces of the game-du-jour? Cant the content we see coming from streamers, tiktokers and youtubers be matched by professional media publishers?
- Comment on Nintendo president responds to Switch 2 price increase fears amid Trump tariff fallout 1 week ago:
Business to business is different than the consumer market. Nintendo comes to Nvidia and orders a custom product with a minimum order of 10 million chips, Nvidia wants that deal. They aren’t going to arbitrarily increase the price because they can because Nintendo can and will move to another vendor. Nvidia wouldn’t risk fucking up a long-standing relationship like that, especially since Nintendo is a repeat customer, and they can rely on repeat business from them each year. These are long standing relationships that don’t just fall apart that quickly unless one party wants to drastically change what they are doing.
- Comment on Anon makes life choices 1 week ago:
I firmly believe you cant really fully articulate what a certain career feels like. You need to experience it for yourself because it subjective. Some may like it and some may not. If he were to listen to your advice, he may be left wondering the what if.
- Comment on I really need these games ported to Steam. What do y'all have on your lists? 1 week ago:
Freelancer. No need for any remastered nonsense, just patched to work on modern systems.
AvP2, same deal.
Id actually like to try the mess of a SimCity game EA put out in 2013, for some reason it’s still not on steam.
- Comment on How Ubisoft spent $2.1M on influencers to secure the launch of Assassin's Creed Shadows 2 weeks ago:
So marketing? What’s the problem here? Should they have spent it advertising on radio?
- Comment on 90s band alignment chart 2 weeks ago:
My first thought exactly. To do so, we must bend space itself? We’d need a wormhole.
- Comment on I'm leaving the US for good, anything I should do before I leave? 2 weeks ago:
I’m not from the US but maybe, some day when I’m old and grey, I’ll visit one.
- Comment on I'm leaving the US for good, anything I should do before I leave? 3 weeks ago:
While many (if not most) countries have national parks, the policies surrounding them are different. A simple thing like camping is often restricted in European parks, mixed land use is allowed so you are more removed from pure non human nature. As a result, the experience of visiting one may be vastly different - depending on what you are doing. American national parks are exceptional not because they are the only country that has them - which isnt true as you pointed out, they are exceptional because of the governing policies surrounding them.
I’d surely visit one, before I left, because the experience isnt going to be the same in any other.
- Comment on Nintendo Announce Virtual Game Cards (Digital Game Sharing) 3 weeks ago:
I don’t get why they needed a 14 day limit. Sounds half baked to me. Steam, although with its own limitations, still does a better job at game sharing.

Pistols and rifles. There’s even this thing:
- Comment on The specter of a GTA 6 delay haunts the games industry: 'Some companies are going to tank' if they guess wrong, says analyst 3 weeks ago:
I’m the same but I may just be getting older. Last game I was hyped for was Cyberpunk 2077 coming off of the stellar Witcher 3 and having followed both games I loved, W1 & W2. Sometime before it released, I just dropped all hype for it and haven’t felt the same after. Haven’t even played it yet either.
Today, I let myself be pleasantly surprised by games I never thought I’d like. I really liked Death Stranding and I’m waiting for its sequel but still no hype… I haven’t even seen the trailer yet and I doubt I will… I’ll buy it and go in blindly.
- Comment on Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today 3 weeks ago:
It wasn’t “my” Half Life but it was a damn good one. It felt true to the series and that brought a tear to my eye. The writing, the environments, the soundtrack all felt very Half Life without compromise. I didn’t like that it was a VR title but I understood why they went that route. In 2D, it would probably lack in depth (in more ways than one).
I borrowed a VR set from a friend to play it and bought the game at 60% off, which it frequently drops to. I’d urge anyone who has a VR capable PC to try and play it some way but VR is always going to restrict access to this. I’ll probably play through it in 2d Mode (via mod) some day in the future to try and relive it.
- Comment on Fable delayed to 2026 3 weeks ago:
I preferred fable 2 over 1 because it had guns.
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 3 weeks ago:
protest is storming and taking control of the representation of authority in the country.
Jan 6. 2021… just the other side protesting though.

Fence it, let it regrow and let lose a shit ton of chickens. Market free range eggs.
If you lease it to a farmer, you’re no better than a landlord and I don’t see why the whole of lemmy doesnt start pissing on you right away. - Comment on Happens every time 4 weeks ago:
Afaik its always going to have some parts of uranium right? 50% after one half life, 25% after two half lives and it will keep on halving practically forever (or till the last atom decays). In the end it comes down to when you consider it a negligible amount.

I once went on a role playing server and it had really nice people on there. Everything was civilized too, they had police officers walking around lol.

If its good enough, the news of it will get to me eventually and I will see for myself.
This is how I live now.
This is what it means to be old.
I’m 34.
- Comment on I wonder if the "money can't buy you happiness" people ever lived in a car. 5 weeks ago:
Good old Maslow. This is correct. The first two require money. As a single person without children, I’ve generally got the first two covered. I can not cover the third and I also feel like any amount of money will not help me either.
- Comment on Vampire Survivors devs launch official wiki "free of ads, banners, and all of the junk that gets in your way" 5 weeks ago:
Very nice to see. Might start playing again to 100% it (yet again) now that there’s an actual useful wiki for it. Always love to see pure media wiki usage.
- Comment on Reception for Avowed has been very positive with Xbox and Microsoft, game director says 5 weeks ago:
Regarding the lack of romance mechanics, it just seems like they dont know how do romance then? Why would a character have to suddenly become a “yes man” once romanced? In any case, does the game really need such mechanics to begin with?
I havent played it but from what I’ve seen, it looks like an action RPG - action first with some rpg mechanics. This is a safe genre to invest in, especially to offer on a subscription service because it is casual friendly. The drawback being it polarizes the more hardcore crowd and leaves them wanting more.
- Comment on Sci-fi and fantasy are at odds in Split Fiction, which makes no sense 5 weeks ago:
The game looks fun, but I personally can not get into a world that switches between fantasy and sci-fi so much. The mix just isn’t my thing. Magic and tech don’t mix well in my head.
