- Comment on Adult gamers of Lemmy how do you find time to game without being exhausted of the screen? 4 days ago:
I take a lot of breaks. Just a few minutes doing something else.

That was mostly when it was pointed out that he had solicited a minor some years ago.

Again?
- Comment on Union workers at Fallout and Elder Scrolls company ready to strike against Microsoft after two years of haggling 1 week ago:
Man, the whole “Mick Gordon thing” gave a bit of insight into the workings of Bethesda/Zenimax as a company. And that it apparently was a pretty shitty company to work for. And then Beth/Zeni went ahead and sold themselves to Microsoft, the peak of ruthless and shitty companies…
I feel like there’s no really winning scenario for the employees in this.
- Comment on What game do you really want to play, but haven't yet because you feel it in your soul that it will get a remake/remaster soon enough? 2 weeks ago:
I would never hold off on playing a game for a remake/remaster.
I love my oldies.

It’s ridiculous how hard they are pushing the MS Account.

Yeah, Tabasco is the weakest link when it comes to hotsauce. Sriracha definitely is a step up, but even that has to move aside for the Buldak Sauce.
Buldak has become my go-to hotsauce. It’s so damned good.

Tobacco clearly has the last laugh in this story.
Well, it’s not like we’re immortal if we abstain.

Yes, Officer. This one right here.
- Comment on Metro 4 will "inevitably" be shaped by Russia's invasion of Ukraine 4 weeks ago:
Seeing as Exodus was only loosely based on ‘Metro: 2035’ and that being the last book in the series, I’m guessing this installment will be completely their own brain-child.
I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing as I loved ‘2033’ and ‘Last Light’, but didn’t much care for Exodus.

Animals experience the same emotions as we do.
It’s just their understanding of the situation that might be lacking.
- Comment on 'Starship Troopers' Remake Set From 'District 9' Director Neill Blomkamp 4 weeks ago:
I’m a bit in two minds about this news.
I love both the novel and the movie as two separate things.
And District 9 was good, but Chappie wasn’t even a blip on my radar as what little I saw of it was cringy as hell. :/

Ahh, that headline title could have been more clearly written then.

Was Stalker supposed to be like Far Cry?
Am I missing something?

- Comment on Make your complaints heard about bad games, says Dragon Age veteran Mark Darrah, but "your $70 doesn't buy you cruelty" 1 month ago:
I see how it’s different. And I’m not making excuses for anyone.
If anything, I’m saying I can understand where it’s coming from. But that doesn’t mean I’m onboard with it all.
- Comment on Make your complaints heard about bad games, says Dragon Age veteran Mark Darrah, but "your $70 doesn't buy you cruelty" 1 month ago:
The cost of developing games hasn’t skyrocketed. Developers have more means than ever. Many things that was handcrafted on crappy slow computers then are auto-generated in seconds now.
There’s no massive shipping costs or printing of physical mediums anymore. And no losses if the already printed cassettes or CD’s didn’t sell.
If a game costs hundreds of millions to develop, in this day and age, it’s by design and/or because of bloated companies.

I have no personal vendetta against any of these individual Devs.
My stake in this is slightly different. Like, when I heard about how Blizzard treated it’s own staff and then the whole sexual harassment thing popped up, I was done with them. From that point on, that company doesn’t deserve to exist and I blacklisted them. So i try to keep up with gaming related news.
More studios have joined that list since, for various reasons, and I find myself mostly playing indie titles from small upcoming developers now. I feel better about that.
I do believe we should be(e) kind. But I also believe kindness is a two way street.
- Comment on Avowed Launches As Steam's # 1Top Seller In The US And Worldwide 1 month ago:
It’s now Sunday and the number only “jumped” with 1000 players from release to now.
I honestly thought it would be more. But it looks like it isn’t gonna cross the 20.000 mark.
- Comment on Xbox Boss Surrenders In The Great Console Wars 1 month ago:
They’ll still make the Xbox consoles as long as they are selling. They’ll hopefully just ease off the “Exclusives” going forward.
It was a shitty way of trying to move consoles anyway.
Although they are late to the party, Sony is also trying to sell on PC and other storefronts. So my guess is that the console market isn’t treating either of them super well atm.
- Comment on Avowed Review Thread 1 month ago:
A quick internet search would suggest that no, you can exchange them, but not dismiss them entirely.
The game seems pretty hard-coded in regards to how they want you to play it.

As I said, there’s bound to be other opinions.

I don’t think anyone really celebrates layoffs at a studio because they didn’t like a game they made.
I think it’s mostly reserved for when Devs or CMs have come out of the woodwork to shit on their own potential audience. A response to overconfidence and disregard of the customer. Because there’s definitely been some of that as of late.
Ofcause there bound to be other opinions, but I think this is the overall gist of the current situation.
- Comment on Avowed Launches As Steam's # 1Top Seller In The US And Worldwide 1 month ago:
We’ll no doubt see that number jump a bit over the weekend, but atm it’s anyones guess if it will do well or not.
So I wouldn’t crack any party poppers just yet.
- Comment on Avowed Launches As Steam's # 1Top Seller In The US And Worldwide 1 month ago:
I’ve only completed the first Pillars game and it’s an ok game.
A bit linear for a crpg in my opinion, but the story is pretty good. Like, you only really have a couple of choices that have any consequenses.
So not top tier crpg, but ok. But that’s just my unsolicited two cents.
- Comment on Avowed Launches As Steam's # 1Top Seller In The US And Worldwide 1 month ago:
There’s been quite a few titles that launched as “#1 Seller” that underperformed lately.
So yeah, I’ll happily dispute this as a sign of success.
