- Comment on What are your experiences using Linux for gaming? 3 days ago:
I’ve only had problems with two games.
A game called OneShot, which has some meta things as part of the game. Like, it’s supposed to change your wallpaper and such “outside the game” things. No biggy, just had to run an executable with a specific version on Wine and it worked as intended.
The other was Vermitide 2, never got around to finding a solution for that one, as I honestly didn’t care enough to find out what the problem is.
Everything else has worked splendidly.

Well, a game flopping doesn’t mean they should stop making games. It’s just they probably haven’t learned anything from it.

- Comment on Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy. 3 weeks ago:
I’d hope it only referres to actual porn games. Would hate to see a game like RDR2 taken down because there’s a heavily implied incestual relationship in the game.
- Comment on Avowed's summer update revamps fighter and ranger skills so those pesky wizards aren't having all the fun 3 weeks ago:
Oh yes, The Outer Worlds is being thrown under the bus for a second time.
First ToW1 when Private Division decided to take the Timed Exclusivity deal last minute, and now ToW2 being the first game to launch with the $80 price-tag.
Tim and Leonard just can’t catch a break on this one.

Saw this and out of morbid curiosity had to look up the concurrent playercount on SteamDB… yikes.

Sadly, all publishers are like Krafton… or worse.
- Comment on What are signs that the game devs aren't gamers themselves? 4 weeks ago:
Yup, it’s a peeve. I don’t know why the buttons just get thrown onto the keyboard with a shovel.
Who thought crouch belongs on © and Interact goes on (F) or even (X)? I get (F) if the game has a peek-mechanic, but most don’t.
Just use (E). And crouch & sprint has always been on (Ctrl) & (Shift) respectively. It’s the optimal configuration with WASD.
- Comment on How to install Battle.net on Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck for World of Warcraft and Starcraft 4 weeks ago:
Just running the launcher through Steam worked after all else failed. I used to run it through Lutris, but something prevented me from doing it again after upgrading my OS.
I’d honestly kick Blizzard and their games to the curve, but alas, there’s 2 games my little friend group defaults to and refuses to move on from. So I’m stuck with it if I want to play with them.
- Comment on What are signs that the game devs aren't gamers themselves? 4 weeks ago:
One thing, and it’s likely just an oversigt, but controls. With Consoles being the computers that everything is designed for, the lack of proper controls for Mouse & Keyboard have become a bit of a nuisance.
Normally, it’s not a big deal. You just configure them yourself.
But it did irk me some when I gave Cyberpunk a go and tried to switch the Interact/select button from (F) to (E) and it didn’t move both functionalities. Now (E) was Interact, but in menus it defaulted back to (F) as if menu select was apparently a different function.

The IPs are the really sad part here. There was some good stuff in there, but alas…

Most remake/remasters aren’t worth anyones time, as it is.

If you like it, support the Developer that made it by buying it.

- Comment on Subnautica 2 will have a bigger map and a silent protagonist, say devs 2 months ago:
It’s a different Engine for starters. I don’t know if it’s as easy as just moving assets over from one game to the other.
- Comment on Wicked: For Good” Teaser Trailer Enchants Ahead of Full Reveal 2 months ago:
Probably shot at the same time as the first.
They likely counted on success through brand recognition and just made a trilogy off the bat.
That’s my guess…

Man, I’m looking forward to this.
- Comment on New Image of Elijah Wood in 'The Toxic Avenger' 2 months ago:
Don’t they both pretty much only take projects they have a personal interest in? I think Elijah said something about not really caring if something he was a part of didn’t do well, he wanted to do them regardless, simply because it was interesting or fun.

It’s pretty nice, can’t lie about that.
- Comment on Microsoft finally solve the Linux dual-boot issue after 9 months 2 months ago:
Used to Dual-Boot Linux and Windows. I honestly can’t be bothered anymore.
If something doesn’t work in Linux, I’m just not using it.

Dusted off Raft and started a new playthrough. For all it’s upolished and unforgiving nature, it’s a good game.
- Comment on Fallout TV Show Could Run for Six Seasons Says Aaron Moten 2 months ago:
Well, Beth’ has pretty much “retconned” the entire original concept of Fallout at this point. New Vegas kinda tried to cobble it back together, but it has largely gone ignored be Beth.

An optimist I see.
- Comment on Some retailers have broken Doom: The Dark Ages' street date, and huge spoilers are already out there [Eurogamer] 2 months ago:
I know that and I’m happy that there is so much to choose from these days, simply because distribution isn’t a big issue anymore. The indie scene has never been in a better place.
It’s a nostalgia thing. Plus, I’m against the whole “exclusivity” thing. And a bunch of other reasons, but it hardly matters.
Sometimes you just need to vent your disappointment, you know?
- Comment on Some retailers have broken Doom: The Dark Ages' street date, and huge spoilers are already out there [Eurogamer] 2 months ago:
Completely unrelated.
That id software is now owned by Microsoft pisses me off way more than it should. I was already iffy when they were acquired by Zenimax.
And there’s literally no one left of the original crew at this point.
I think I’m done with Doom, Wolfenstein and all that.
Rant over and sorry. It all just dawned on me when I saw the post.
