- Comment on Favourite controllers 5 days ago:
Playstation controllers got it right, or at least, their kind of configuration. Doesn’t have to specifically be a controller from PlayStation.
Anything with offset analogue sticks is cancerous to use.

They want their reputation back.
- Comment on No Man's Sky Orbital Update brings full ship customisation and a complete space station overhaul 1 month ago:
I have yet to find any mods that improve the game in the way I’d like… Or that will even work with the latest version of the game.
- Comment on No Man's Sky Orbital Update brings full ship customisation and a complete space station overhaul 1 month ago:
Yeah. Kind of.
Some people have already given their take, so I’ll add to it:
The game has a couple of hours of actual, fun content. After those couple of hours you’ll start to notice that everything is the same. Oh sure, the creatures and plants are made of different parts, but that’s as far as the differences go. Every planet has the exact same pattern, every system has a space station with the exact same functions, so eventually it really feels like exploration doesn’t matter. Which kinda sucks for a game that’s supposed to be about exploration.
I’ve always said that exploration would’ve been far more impactful if the universe of No Man’s Sky had just a bit more realism in it. This would mean most planets would be frozen iceballs or low atmosphere dustballs with no life on them. This would make discovering a planet with life on it quite momentous. It would also eliminate the problem of quickly finding out all life on every planet is exactly the same.
- Comment on TIL you can remove tags such as horror from itch.io using ?exclude=tg.horror in the url. 1 month ago:
Yes, I use this to hide visual novels, otherwise one would drown in them.
Unfortunately it only works for excluding just one tag, and there are people in the forums, going as far back as 8 bloody years, begging for there to be a proper tag exclusion system.
- Comment on Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection Launch Is a Disaster - IGN 1 month ago:
The original games are about 4 GB each. Together they should be around 8 GB.
What the fuck is the rest of the size used for!?
- Comment on Star Citizen's first-person shooting is getting backpack-reloading, dynamic crosshairs, procedural recoil, and other improvements to 'bring the FPS combat to AAA standard' 1 month ago:
It’s meant to be an “everything” game.
Chris Roberts has always had the ambition for a space sim where you could truly do anything, but never had the resources to actually create it.
So what is Star Citizen supposed to be?
An open world sandbox where you, a citizen of the stars, can choose to be Whst you want. A space trucker? A pirate? A bounty hunter? A smuggler? These aren’t new things in the space sim genre, but Star Citizen wants to make these aspect less like a game and more like a life sim.
So instead of clicking a few buttons to fly your spaceship, your character wakes up in bed, has to manually walk over to the ship hangar (maybe take the train there, if you’re on the city planet. Yes, the train runs on a schedule), manually access the hangar via elevator, climb into the ship, activate the ship, request take-off from control, wait for the hangar doors to open, and then you fly your spaceship.
This level of granular detail is meant for every aspect of the game and is the reason why Star Citizen will never get done!

The desire to hate on Star Citizen is far from irrational.
Wake me up once Chris Roberts actually finishes anything by himself.

They’ve had a “basic world” for a long time at this point, unfortunately it still doesn’t go beyond “tech demo” levels of development.
Squadron 42, their single player game set in this universe, I supposedly nearly completely finished and coming “SOON™”.
If Squadron 42 actually releases it would mean Chris Roberts has finally managed to start and finish a project without a parent company ordering him or taking away the project from him.
- Comment on How does delisting a game make/save money? 2 months ago:
If I’m not mistaken, Steam will still keep the games on their servers. Sure, you can no longer buy them, but I’m pretty sure if you own the game you can still access it, and steam keys from the grey market should still work.
- Comment on I Wonder What Star Citizen Is Up To - Aftermath 4 months ago:
Eeeeehhhhh… Not really. I stopped playing Elite because it’s the perfect example of what “wasted potential” means.
- Comment on Very basic expectations 4 months ago:
Halo is overrated, I really… REALLY hate Mountain Dew (tastes like how cheap hand soap smells), cryptids… Don’t exist, but Lord of the Rings is an all time favourite.
- Comment on Steam keeps on winning 4 months ago:
Of course, but I’m not expecting that to happen until Gabe dies or retires. Until then I think Steam will be number 1.

Uh… Yeah… I’ve experienced homelessness throughout my teenage years and… Uh… It really makes the things “normal” people complain about or stress over seem small and insignificant.

- Comment on CD Projekt quest designer discusses the "challenge" of developing Cyberpunk 2 for Unreal Engine 5 months ago:
The only reason why an Unreal game looks like an Unreal game is because the developers just use the default settings for environmental lighting and LUTs.
If your intention is to make a game with a specific look you can absolutely create your own lighting and LUTs. You can make an Unreal game look like whatever you want.

Man, and I only just got mine… And considering the insides are all changed, I doubt I can simply upgrade my current one by switching out the screen and battery.
