- Comment on Civilization 7 Outlines Crucial 1.1.1 Update as It Struggles to Compete on Steam Against Civ 6 and Even the 15-Year-Old Civ 5 4 days ago:
They do more Linux and Mac porting than any other company I know. Back in the day I believe they were actually game developer, but they seem to have become specialized in porting games specifically.
- Comment on PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now 1 week ago:
I’ve been playing a lot of terraria with my son recently, it’s been a lot of fun going back to it. Coincidentally, I just saw the trailer for Noita for the first time last night, and thought “woah, that looks cool as hell…”
- Comment on Roblox CEO tells parents that “if you're not comfortable, don't let your kids be on Roblox”. 2 weeks ago:
Well that’s been my policy so far. Since there are literally no controls whatsoever over the content in Roblox, it looks like my kid will be old enough to play Halo before he’s old enough to play Roblox.
I have no problem with this, there are a lot of games out there.
- Comment on WoW guild uses exploits to get world 'first' on new raid, gets banned, puts its name backwards and does it again 2 weeks ago:
Is this news?
- Comment on Rebellion CEO seems kind of awed by major studios making massive videogames: 'How do you organize a game that has 2,000 people working on it?' 2 weeks ago:
But does the texture artist need to talk to the modelers? Of course. Do they need to talk to people in sound design? Maybe. What about game engine and programming? Maybe. What about writers? Maybe.
The fact is, you’d probably have a better product at the end of the day if everyone we’re able to coordinate their efforts.
- Comment on Itch.io California Fire Relief Bundle - 422 items (187 games) for $10 4 weeks ago:
This is… A whole lot of games.
I did love tunic, fantastic game, easily worth that price on its own.
I’ve never played cook serve delicious, but it’s been on my radar. I’ll have to give this a shot. Heh, there are some tabletop games and rulesets on this list, could be some hidden gems in there. Honestly, this is big enough to be worth just buying on principle, sort it out later.
- Comment on Roll7’s OlliOlli World and Rollerdrome delisted, remaining titles now at risk along with the future of ‘Kerbal 2’ 1 month ago:
I suppose that would be unfortunate. But it hardly matters in the long run. I mean, it might be better. I believe the game is still available for purchase as an “early access” title, despite the unfinished state and completely halted development.
It would certainly be better to not list it at all than to imply that it will eventually be finished and allow people to continue purchasing it.

Wow, that is not in any way “the latest” on ksp2…
The KSP2 ip was sold to another company. All development has ended and the devs were all given a gag order, leaving them unable to even update their resumes to list ksp2 as a previous project.
The show is over.

Wait, fun can be an antidote to stress and anxiety?! Since when?
- Comment on Chants of Sennaar, a puzzle game where you decipher an alien language (Demo available) 2 months ago:
I would argue that that’s the optional game mechanic.
The main game mechanic is that it’s a Zelda like hack and slash. The secondary game mechanic is its secret puzzle system and then finally if you get through all that, there’s still this language you can decipher to solve the very last puzzle.

Sure, but I wonder if I could translate it…
Free dlc

That’s awesome! I wonder if I could still translate that?

Seems like a great replacement option, should the screen on your steam deck ever break.

- Comment on What games have you sunk the most time into? 2 months ago:
I played Wow for the first 3-4 years after its launch.
I had a party time job, but otherwise I was playing wow. At some point my /played time passed a year, after that I refused to look. I don’t know if it ever got to two years, but I fear it may have…
- Comment on Wizard of Legend - Free 3 months ago:
It’s worth playing, I’ve been playing the hell out of this game for the last month.
If you want it in a more convenient way, it’s probably $3 on steam now (at least it was during the autumn sale).

This is just what I need for my science-based dragon mmorpg!
- Comment on Exodus, the new game being led by BioWare veteran James Ohlen, finally reveals some gameplay, and boy it sure looks like Mass Effect 3 months ago:
And as soon as I saw your comment I realized I had the title wrong, it’s “Fallen Dragon”.

His book Dragonfall is I’ve if my favorite books ever.
- Comment on What are your favorite 1000+ hour games? 4 months ago:
A long time ago now I spent over 10,000 hours on world of warcraft. I wouldn’t really recommend getting into it now though, I think the magic is gone.
- Comment on How many Nintendo Switches do I need for a family of gamers? 4 months ago:
And then you have to field uncomfortable questions with your kids when they ask about whether piracy is stealing. Or worse, the judgment from other parents when your kid brags to all his friends about having all the games and they don’t even pay for them.

Aren’t we in like… 4?
- Comment on Here are the patents Nintendo and The Pokémon Company are suing Palworld over 4 months ago:
I’m pretty sure there were flying mounts even before Skyrim. Hell, go all the way back to joust.
- Comment on Sega is delisting 60 classic games from Steam, so now’s the time to grab them 4 months ago:
I’m a bit curious too. My theory is that it may have come down to licensing and trademark issue. Since the game used actual car brands and their logos and such, they may have had some agreement over their usage and perhaps the period of that agreement ended. It’s worth noting that the game was available from several different stores, and it became unavailable everywhere as far as I know.
- Comment on Sega is delisting 60 classic games from Steam, so now’s the time to grab them 4 months ago:
Well that’s certainly good news! And I admit I wasn’t aware of that announcement.
- Comment on Sega is delisting 60 classic games from Steam, so now’s the time to grab them 4 months ago:
No, you need to install them as well.
I know I have at least one game “grid: race driver” that was delisted from steam, I can no longer download it, it doesn’t even show up in my library. I’ve been trying like hell to find a way to play it, but even pirated versions are being difficult.

You know kids today, they yearn for the mines…
I can’t get mine to stop mining.
- Comment on DOOM can now run on a quantum computer with Quandoom port — seminal FPS blood and gore mixed with spooky action 5 months ago:
So, as far as I can tell, the primary difference with this version of the game is that it uses question registers?
What does that mean, functionally?
Like how does that affect the software? How would the software run on an actual quantum computer?

Wtf… There’s no narrative or throughline, it’s just like… if you distilled “unsettling” and put it on paper.
