Man, I’m looking forward to this.
- Comment on New Image of Elijah Wood in 'The Toxic Avenger' 3 days 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 1 week 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.

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 weeks 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 weeks 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.

Im not a Console player, but I’m pretty sure whatever hardware you’re usibg should be able to outlast the Cheeto-man’s final term.
- Comment on Give an inch take an inch 2 weeks ago:
Yet, some of the most anticipated titles released are streamlined, soulless and boring. Every edge has been rounded off to such a degree, it makes Disney look gory.
- Comment on GTA 6's delay doesn't mean the games industry's in trouble - it's already dead 2 weeks ago:
Working in entertainment is privileged. It’s not a job you just happen to end up with by accident. Most people are there because they want to be there.
And yes, the shitty mega corporations will use that against you. And yes, again, your small indie company can get purchased and suddenly your boss is the shitty mega corp. But you have a choice even then. Try to get out on your own terms or stick around until it’s time to cut the fat and get fired.
You can think I’m a dick all you want. I have my principles and I live by them. I have taken jobs most people don’t even know exist, because they can’t even imagine themselves in a position that would ever warrant something like it. And I’ve quit jobs for less than how game developers get treated. I don’t care what I do, I care about who I work for and how they treat the people around them.
- Comment on GTA 6's delay doesn't mean the games industry's in trouble - it's already dead 2 weeks ago:
We probably all have our own factors that go into determining whether or not someone deserves our sympathies.
And there’s definitely some circumstances where I’m more understanding. Like, Ubisoft as you mentioned. I have zero relation to their products nor the company it self. They’ve never really been on my radar. So I can’t speak to that.
But then we have something like Microsoft. A giant among giants in the corporate world. You don’t become a 3 trillion dollar company by playing by the book. And I understand why people would want MS on their resume, but I can’t understand wanting to work for them.
But that’s just a part of my little black book. I imagine you have your own, most people do.
- Comment on Do you know the answer? 3 weeks ago:
You can rationalize your way to exclude all but a last answer, there by making it the right answer.
Like, seeing as there are two 25% options, so there aren’t four different answers, which means there isn’t a 25% chance. This lead to there only being two options left 50% or 60%. This would seem to make 50% the right answer, but it’s not, because you know there’s only two options, which in turn means you’re not guessing. So you have more that 50% chance of choosing the right answer. So 60% is the closest to a right answer, by bullshitting and gaslighting yourself through the question.

Even the Devs out of a job isn’t necessarily something you should concern yourself too much with.
Games development is a fairly privileged job to have and for the Devs working for big dubious companies…? Let’s not pretend like they didn’t know who they worked for, what they worked on and what the personal risks attached were.

Yeah, it can be a bit tough to get across in text format. XD

It was just my lame attempt at being funny. I’m fully aware that the animal kingdom is as diverse in sexuality as our own. ;)
- Comment on Half-Life 3 is reportedly playable in its entirety and could be announced this year 3 weeks ago:
Shadow dropping isn’t a new thing Bethesda just invented, so I doubt Oblivion would have anything to do with it.
Valve does what Valve wants to do. Always have. And they don’t have a tendency to announce anything years in advance to generate hype, because frankly, I don’t think they care.
- Comment on Half-Life 3 is reportedly playable in its entirety and could be announced this year 3 weeks ago:
It’s been 84 years…
Please stop defaulting to Half Life 3 when you have nothing better to write about.

- Comment on Bethesda are so chill about Skyblivion that they're promoting it in Oblivion Remastered videos 3 weeks ago:
Bethesda is dependent on modders. They not only fix Beth’s games, they also ensure a certain amount of longevity and relevance.
It’s free labor that only benefits the company. And Beth really wants more big modders to join their Creation Club which means monetizing the free labor.
I can’t assign ‘benevolence’ to the machinations of a company their size when ‘smart business’ fits the bill equally well.

Just played through OneShot.
Very good little game. I did take a bit of fiddling to get to work properly in Linux, but worth it.

It’s seems more like them doing no thinking.
- Comment on Todd Howard Reaffirms Bethesda Is Currently Developing The Elder Scrolls 6 4 weeks ago:
I’d rather have them talk a bit about what direction they are going with it.
Because between Fallout 76 and Starfield there’s definitely room for some alternative thinking.
- Comment on Bethesda confirms Oblivion remaster’s imminent reveal 4 weeks ago:
Bethesda had already started going downhill with Oblivion. But it still held some of the intrigue that made Morrowind and Daggerfall special.
