And it won’t work nearly as well as most people would think.
Well that’s wrong, because I would think this wouldn’t work at all.

You know, I recall playing this at a friend’s house decades ago and being totally, utterly, stuck on the first level for like… many hours.
So yeah, you may be right about that.
Was there like, a maze in that level? I think I remember a maze that ultimately led to a smaller area of open water, where you were just like “well fuckin’ now what?”

I’m gonna have my kid add No AI used" to his lemonade stand sign. He’ll probably double his profits.
(so probably like $4).

Reality TV. Reality TV never changes…
- Comment on Bethesda announces a new Fallout... reality show 1 week ago:
Yeah… this seems pretty on brand really.
Actually, out arms really well themed, a needed up reality show is exactly the kind of thing you might find in a vault. The thing to remember though, is that Vault-Tec is supposed to be satirical… Bethesda should not become Vault-Tec because that would be unethical… Right Bethesda… Right?

Ok sure, but how much of the game will actually be generated by dolphins?
This will probably be just another example of HUMAN appropriation when plenty of dolphin developers are struggling to even find work in this industry. Maybe when dolphins are literally the subject matter of the game we could consider inclusivity in its development?

When you’re watching a dramatic cutscene, but then someone needs your attention, so you hit esc… which skips the cutscenes instead of pausing?! What the actual fuck? The button that pauses the game in every other context now (surprise!) skips the cutscene? Why would you do that?!

If you like his taste you should totally listen to his podcast, triple click.
It’s basically the only way I find out about new games. And it’s honestly super insightful.

We should boycott them
How? They aren’t selling to us anymore, remember. They’re ramping down their consumer products because the AI specific products are more lucrative. Hell, not buying their consumer products just proves that point. We’re behind fucked at this point.

If you like building things, I’ve been playing the hell out of “Mars First Logistics”.
Basically, you build custom mars rovers to move increasingly ridiculous shipments across the red planet. And the whole game has the visual style of a ImageLego instruction manual.

If you’re not talking about the headline, what “situation” are you talking about?

Dice - mirrors edge, battlefield
Popcap - tons of mobile games
Respawn - Alex legends, Titanfall (ex call of duty developers)
Codemasters - lots of racing games

93 was my jam.
But yeah, I’d play that.

Right, because you smelled bait… which wasn’t actually there.

- Comment on Vermintide 2 is currently free on Steam 2 months ago:
I bought it a while back on a friend’s recommendation. I should actually play it again solo, but at the time, I totally hated it; I just couldn’t connect with it. It was way too dark, hard to see what was even going on. And I couldn’t care less about the character I was playing or the gameplay mechanics. To me, it was just a fantasy reimagining of left4dead, but kind of sloppy, and with unintuitive level design.
I might be being unfair, it’s been a long time since I played it.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 months ago:
Hey, if I’ve offended you, I do apologize for that, it truly wasn’t my goal. But I do strongly disagree (which is allowed).
And I think it’s pretty obvious that microtransactions could never, ever, possibly be more lucrative for Valve than selling games. It’s just a numbers thing. I mean, dlc can sometimes make more money than game sales for some titles, that’s a fact. But Valve has what, a dozen games that they could potentially sell dlc for? That’s a pretty hard limit. Whereas they also make money on every title sold in the store, and there are currently over 10,000 titles available from the steam store. That’s just like, a lot more than a dozen…
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 months ago:
Um, no?
I guess this must be surprising to hear, but it’s just easier to sell content of actual value than bullshit. Yeah… some people will buy bullshit, and yeah, one can take advantage of those people, but having actual products is still a better business model.
But hey, if you’ve got these things all figured out, totally start your own game studio/global digital distribution system. Go make bank on microtransaction garbage.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 months ago:
I mean, they get a sizable cut from the majority of games sold on PC. I think that’s their business model.
I hear you about loot boxes and skins and stuff. It’s just, that has to be a small part of their total profit.

Having played Minecraft and No Man’s Sky, I can say that no world is necessarily too big, because infinite is not too big.

I would have if I hadn’t gleaned the premise instantly as soon as I saw the logo.

I mean, as it’s made by ubisoft, it would be pretty funny if they leaned heavily into the evil Abstergo storyline.

people still buy those games full-priced, so…
Wait, does nobody pirate games any more? I don’t think I bought a single game until I turned 25.

Well to me, borderlands 2 was the most fun I’ve had with a shooter since half-life 2 or CoD4. It’s one of the funniest games I’ve ever played as well. I think the writing in general is really top notch (props to Anthony Birch), the characters are memorable, the weapons and abilities are fun. All and all, BL2 really hit the mark in a lot of ways for me.
Borderlands 3 on the other hand, just wasn’t as good. It had a ton of great quality of life improvements, so that was nice. The player abilities were also largely really good, I liked most of the classes. But it had a ton of weaknesses… The level design was pretty awful, the much bigger maps really spread out the action absolutely killed the pacing. The story was pretty dumb, and while the villains were detestable, it was only in the way that all obnoxious teenagers are detestable. And the greatest sin, the loot was a mess. They actually threw way too many guns at you, so many that you never really get a chance to enjoy any of them. And way too many of them were uniques (with mysterious effects they never bother to explain).
