Why? This fits under the pineapple on pizza category. It’s exactly the same concept. At least now you get to feel how everyone feels about pineapple on pizza. :V
- Comment on Game developers desperate for you to join their Discord "server" 1 week ago:
That’s a you problem. Most gamers and developers do want those things and every thriving game I can think of has a very active Discord community.
- Comment on Game developers desperate for you to join their Discord "server" 1 week ago:
It is if you want to use it for that.
If everyone that cares about your game is already there, it’s much simpler to use Discord to drop an announcement.
- Comment on Game developers desperate for you to join their Discord "server" 1 week ago:
It’s only trapped on Discord if one refuses to ever join Discord. Most people playing games use Discord, so that’s not a real issue for them.
Making things searchable, such as problems and solutions, is dependent on how well managed a community is; over the years I’ve had plenty of issues trying to find something on a forum simply because something like keywords, and tagging didn’t exist or wasn’t enforced, or bug reports were regelated to a single forum thread.
The same it is with Discord. If you’re smart you’ll create a “forum” channel for bug and issue reports and force users to use tags as a rule.
- Comment on Game developers desperate for you to join their Discord "server" 1 week ago:
Discord isn’t friction as most developers and gamers use Discord regularly. You refusing to use Discord makes you a tiny minority. So it’s friction for you, and you personally.
These same people want an online live discussion about the issues in the game. This again makes you part of a tiny minority that doesn’t want that.
Since you’re part of a minority, developers lose nothing by your lack of interest in the Discord community they’ve created. A game certainly won’t fail if you choose to ignore Discord. Rather, a game is likely to fail if there doesn’t exist any Discord community for it.
- Comment on Game developers desperate for you to join their Discord "server" 1 week ago:
I know this is very unpopular, but something like Discord is very much preferable for real-time conversations than a forum. The interactions with developers and players is a lot more natural, and having a voice chat is always nice.
Discord can also have separate chat rooms about specific issues that can be tagged and searched.
So the functionality of discord is second to none. The only real issue with discord is enshitification. It is very enshitified, and the only way to mostly circumvent that is to have a custom discord client.
If only Matrix was as fully-functional and easy to install and use with just a click.

Yes.

I never really got into Heroes of Might and Magic. Somehow the kind of strategy this is never really captured me.

Oh right. This guy. Anyway…

I would not. Not a single success I wouid attribute to Chris Roberts, because each of his projects was Star Citizen. A studio exec had to step in tell him to actually finish up each time, and for Freelancer he was literally kicked off the project.

I’m well aware what Hades is. I guess that guy doesn’t understand the Rogue-like model…
- Comment on Steam Autumn Sale 2025 Has Begun 2 weeks ago:
Never played the first Hades. Never played Cult of the Lamb. They’re both on sale now, and they seem like pretty good Steam Deck games.
- Comment on Marvel’s Wolverine - Gameplay Trailer | PS5 Games 3 weeks ago:
It’s The Wolverine we’re talking about here. If there is any hero that deserves a brawler game it’d be him.
Besides, we’ve also had open world story driven adventure games with Insomniac’s Spiderman games.
- Comment on Marvel’s Wolverine - Gameplay Trailer | PS5 Games 3 weeks ago:
Midnight Sun is incredibly boring, though. It’s like 75% VN type crap and maybe 15% actual gameplay.
- Comment on Marvel’s Wolverine - Gameplay Trailer | PS5 Games 3 weeks ago:
If it sucks I’ll probably eventually get it through Humble Monthly.
- Comment on Palfarm Trailer - Palworld Spin-Off Game 3 weeks ago:
So, their take on Story of Seasons/Harvest Moon.
Does this mean they’ll put Palworld on the back-burner like they did the game before they started working on Palworld?
What state is Palworld currently in? Did the physics and AI get more polished?

D section.
All the most interesting flavours come from D section.
There also lies the birthplace of spices. Wars were fought over those pices. The earliest forms of global trade was formed over those spices. Europeans started colonialism largely driven by the need for regular access to those spices.
Do not underestimate the power and value of spices. No other section, as presented here, compares.

In other words:
“We don’t want to put resources towards optimising our product. We don’t care if the methods we built our product with make it more difficult to use, while regressing in several key visual aspects. The burdon of our shortcomings will be placed on the end user, who will have to spend their resources to out-power them.”

Like, does it actually just have candy inside, or is it regular toothpaste with a candy flavour?

If you look into the history of Chris Roberts you’ll know it’s not a scam. Roberts is one of the few creatives I’d say actually needs an executive board to hold him back, because he’ll never stop and actually finish something.
I don’t think there’s a single project Roberts has finished on his own accord. He has always been made to finish.

- Comment on Scientific unprogress... 5 weeks ago:
Do not mix theory with hypothesis. A theory in science is a very big deal and needs a lot to be true in order to even reach theory status (which is why “string theory” isn’t a theory. More like “string idea”).

They’re both the same thing for a different area.
- Comment on Scientific unprogress... 5 weeks ago:
The standard model of physics is not implying it has the answer to everything, or that there is nothing new to discover. The standard model of physics is the periodic table for fundamental particles. The bits that make up all the other parts.

Right, yeah. That too.

I’m not sure I mentioned anything about landing on other planets… However, engineering and science are closely related.

Well, while I agree that things are pretty shit and regressive, let’s not downplay the achievements we’ve had in the past 10 years:
- Completion of The Standard Model of Physics with the detection of the Higgs Boson.
- mRNA technology, which is now a serious candidate for curing HIV, and is potentially capable of being used against most viral diseases.
- Imaging a black hole. Doing it again. Providing more proof of general relativity.
- Measuring gravity waves. Doing it as a normal measurement now.
- Salt batteries are finally reaching the market, which will eventually end the destructive mining and refinement of lithium.
- The James Webb Space Telescope, which was already making breakthroughs and creating new questions within the first 3 months of activation.
- Solar power becoming incredibly cost effective.
- Cybernetic limbs for the physically disabled. Yes, cybernetic limbs.
- Though overused; medication that effectively combats eating disorders.
These are just the ones I know from the top of my head.

But Adam Sandler movies just generally aren’t funny either. Like, the jokes aren’t good.
