Lets see If I get this right, input lag is the time it takes from when you make an input (move your mouse) to when you see it happen on screen. So even the speed of light is at play here.
- Comment on Steam owner Valve accused of ripping off 14m UK gamers 2 weeks ago:
Forcing you to sell at the same price as on steam when customers will be downloading from steam servers anyway is not sketchy but very fair.
As a developer you could set the game price on steam to a high number and sell keys on your own site for cheaper. Anyone who buys a key then used steam resources to download it. The dev keeps the 30% since its not a sale through steam. Yeah id like free file hosting with terabytes of bandwidth too please.
If you seek the game yourself and provide the files, you can set lower prices. This is fair and valve doesn’t restrict that.
- Comment on Doom: The Dark Ages is introducing big changes to combat because id Software came to one core realization: "Every projectile mattered in the original Doom" 2 weeks ago:
Recently replayed doom 64 on pc and that game is so crisp. Feels really good on a controller and no vertical aiming is handled superbly in that game.
- Comment on World of Warcraft boss says Microsoft is happy to 'let Blizzard be Blizzard,' but I'm not sure that's entirely true 2 months ago:
We hear you valued customer, that’s why we are happy to announce Overwatch 3! Note: overwatch 2 will be inaccessible when 3 launches.
- Comment on Overwatch 2 story missions future uncertain after January layoffs (according to ex-devs) 3 months ago:
They took away access to a game we payed for and replaced it with an inferior product with the hopes and dreams to one day have single player content… which you would have to pay for anyway. Thats all i have to say on the matter of overwatch. Fuck blizzard.
- Comment on Several indie studios tease the "iii initiative", including Darkest Dungeon/Slay the Spire/Vampire Survivors devs 3 months ago:
A non profit digital game store with 1% commission for triple A or better yet, triple I indie games.
- Comment on Square Enix’s president says it will be ‘aggressive in applying’ AI 5 months ago:
I’d say the end result will be a broken mess delivered behind schedule by a team of juniors.
- Comment on Factorio pretty much rewrote its world generation to account for new planets—like this volcanic one 5 months ago:
Starfields world gen is realistic. Empty plants with empty caves dotted with mining facilities… Yeah… That’s actually probably what space is going to look like lol. It’s not something youd want in a video game though.
- Comment on The Last of Us Online is Dead 6 months ago:
Yeah I wasn’t looking forward to a last of us live service game. I’m glad Sony didn’t grab them by the balls and pushed more on this as I’m sure they’d jump at the opportunity to have a cash cow live service on their hands.
It did look like naughty dog was having a tough time with this one seeing how we’ve had no updates on it despite being in development for 4 years? Certainly didn’t feel like their hart was in it. I hope this is a weight off their shoulders and now can focus on the next project.

Started Brotato as a break from Starfield. It’s… a good distraction to say the least.
- Comment on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Falls Out of the U.S. Top 20 Games for the First Time in Six Years - IGN 7 months ago:
Also add a subplot involving an underground crime ring stealing VCR/DVD combo units.
- Comment on WoW Tokens now require you to buy a real-money subscription first 7 months ago:
Damn, I never knew you could do that in wow. Played for a bit 15 years ago and liked the game but was not in a position to pay the monthly fee.

The cockatrace from Marburg.
- Comment on On Starfield And Hogwarts Legacy’s Single TGA Nomination Between Them 7 months ago:
I mean, the only game on the GOTY list where the hype is still going is Baldurs Gate 3. At least thats how it feels to me. Granted Im not into nintendo games as I once was both the new Zelda and Mario felt like they flew by me. Maybe it was the stacked year. maybe I didnt have as much time for gaming or maybe Im not seeing them much on the internet. BG3 sure feels like its cementing itself into the 2023 zeitgeist.

Yup. This has been their use since the ‘type these two words’ capchas which were used to train for OCR.
- Comment on GTA 6’s Publisher Says Video Games Should Theoretically Be Priced At Dollars Per Hour 7 months ago:
Awesome proposal. Some indie games would suck me dry and I’d be paying 1/4 of the price for AAA releases! Is this the redistribution of wealth Marx has been talking about?
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
This is what I remember as well. Also it was laggy.
- Comment on The best MMOs in 2023 - PCGamer 7 months ago:
Huh Palia looks interesting. Gotta keep it on the radar.
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
Handhelds are very performant. They achieve high enough framerates with a low power demand. They sacrifice fidelity. Something which most people are happy to exchange for the portability.

It’s an ad and a profit stream!
- Comment on Intel's New GPU Drivers Boost Performance Up To 750% in DX11, 53% in DX12 7 months ago:
This is where the bulk of the market is. I spent 600eur on a4070 recently and I still feel sour about it. Intel needs to enter this market.

Man, Dirt 3 had YouTube integration and npcs telling you to ‘upload that sick trick to youtube’.

- Comment on Bike Riders of lemmy, you okay with me riding my eScooter in the bike lane? 8 months ago:
I mean theoretically, if a runner goes as fast as a bike they wouldnt interfere with each other but I get your point. A bike hitting a runner is gonna be a bad time. Maybe maneuverability is more important than speed.
- Comment on Bike Riders of lemmy, you okay with me riding my eScooter in the bike lane? 8 months ago:
Shouldnt be called bike line. It should be called “faster than walking lane”, “above 15km/h” lane or something. The point is, it is for object going faser than walking. No, i dont mind.

Wait, dark chocolate keeps you awake?
- Comment on Chad scraper 8 months ago:
Step one will be learning to code in any language. Step two is using a library to help with it and don’t use regex like the meme says haha. HtmlAgilityPack has always been there for me.
- Comment on Not my account, just posting this on behalf of UK people I used to follow when I did have a twitter account. Elon deleted the UK. 8 months ago:
Musk can’t code well enough to be able to replace an emoji.
