- Comment on Are achievements still relevant in 2026—especially when mods disable them? 2 days ago:
Idgaf about achievements. It always was a scattered mess and (imo) epeen length comparison. I play for the experience and fun of it.
Ymmv. Have fun however you’re having it!
- Comment on Sony is testing dynamic pricing: one game - different prices on the PlayStation Store 5 days ago:
Trying to only establish proprietary media in the past, mostly ignoring open standards.
- Comment on Do not look at this if you live in Germany. 😐 1 week ago:
Me too! What should we do??
- Comment on Current events dictate that I post this. 1 week ago:
Short-sighted.
Sorry.
- Comment on Game over 1 week ago:
And likely also water, like from a toilet!
- Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 2 weeks ago:
There is no reliable scientific proof. Thread end.
- Comment on Earbud question: Does anyone actually like to silicone tipped earbuds over the solid plastic ones? 2 weeks ago:
I was on your side for a long time until I found awesome fitting and sounding ones.
- Comment on It makes me shudder 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, sugar intake, I’m aware of that and fighting for a long time. But no, it’s officially no drug, hrhr. Fun stuff to look up, the sugar cartel.
Anyhow, my condition is okay but I’ve got too many neurological issues which basically make it impossible to read my own body, so that’s there, too.

Thanks, I found out that was the case whan I played mmorpg and assumed some bad English speakers were not native speaking, but they were. Interesting thing in fact.
Still, some things are lost with specific wording or also culturally - worst of all are the things that seem identical but are different (not the average false friends stuff).

Hm, maybe I should keep some dextrose on me then.
- Comment on It makes me shudder 2 weeks ago:
Erm, late for me to learn but if so: shaking is a symptom from having to eat?
- Comment on It makes me shudder 2 weeks ago:
Apologies, I’m not natively English so that might pose language and cultural understanding issues (additionally) 😁
- Comment on EA invents new microtransaction nightmare as it breaks paywall promise on Skate: rent a playable area for 24 hours or buy a premium pass, bucko 2 weeks ago:
I still just buy games and play them.
They’re just 99,99% not triple A games.
- Comment on "Game preservation only works if people care" As GOG doubles down on its commitment to saving old games, it's asking players "who give a s**t" to support its crusade 2 weeks ago:
Oh man. I’ve supported gog from the beginning, always purchased there.
Even if it was more expensive or late or downsides (especially to steam).
Still, they didn’t always hold up to the drm free standard they set.
The they come up with this, which to me sounds like ‘give us subscription money for what we already did the whole time’.
The Patrons initiative is particularly interesting
No it’s not! I care for the games. I want a drm free packaged version. You name the price, but keep all original features.
I don’t give a flying shit about any online badges or whatever. How could I know where the additional money goes? By my estimate I’ll pay the subscription and your ceo gets more money but the games wont see any of it…
- Comment on It makes me shudder 2 weeks ago:
I disagree (it necessarily being hyperbolic), by now it’s been proven we can have “real” physical pain (and thereby also damage). Maybe the number sounds exaggerated but we don’t know.
- Comment on It makes me shudder 2 weeks ago:
Infuriating since annoyances are equated with real suffering. I always try to explain that yes, there are things which NT can experience but they have a scale from 0 to 100 and ND scale can be wildly off like > 4000% which can cause a whole range of psychological as well as physical issues.

Es is for gaming like popcorn is for haute cuisine.
- Comment on Consumerism ahhhhh moment 2 weeks ago:
*mainstream gaming.
There’s still a world out there not bothered by this. I’m a big spender but AAA gaming lost me a while ago. On all systems I’ve got more games to play than I could ever have the time for.
- Comment on Is it normal to be mildly exhausted after talk therapy? 3 weeks ago:
Mildly?!?!?
- Comment on Do you ever feel guilty for trying to sign up for government assistance programs? 4 weeks ago:
I think guilt tripping is part of it in the US. Here (Europe) we just apply for the stuff that were eligible for.
- Comment on What are we being distracted from? 4 weeks ago:
Rich people holding 99%.of everything and pitting us against each other. Most people have no idea about the scope of riches. We could all be much better.

You evil being ♥️

I’d like to have the kids menu, please… Err what?
- Comment on Is it theoretically possible Trump and ICE are killing a very large number of immigrants (like 25% of those detained) and no one knows? 5 weeks ago:
I think you underestimate the creativity and power of these people.
It’s exactly like ww2. People just didn’t want to see it. It will come out at some point. I am certain the USA is already using German KZ methods.
- Comment on Ubisoft Montreal Lead Fired After Critical Comments on New Return-to-Office Mandate 5 weeks ago:
Is it yes?
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 5 weeks ago:
Lots, as you said too. Blizzard lost its way a while ago, not giving them money.
Neither epic, ubi, ea. F all of them.
On the bright side there’s so much games coming out and so much backlog too, I don’t miss them.

Well that was a load of nothing

I loved it for removing the messy timezones.
I learned with that a lot of other problems are created, hehe.

Gemeinschaft. Kommune is a little bit different context… 😉

I recommend the data approach since you can just change layout on the fly and not have classic word processing mess up:
