- Comment on What MMORPG are you playing, and why? 12 hours ago:
I started playing GW2 at the end of 2023 an been having a blast with it! I played WoW for a decade until the combo of Shadowlands and the Acti-Blizz allegations soured me on that company forever. I tried FFXIV with everyone going over to that game and the story was good but the button bloat pushed me away from really getting into it. I then had that MMO itch at the end of 2023 again and decided to try GW2 and it’s been great. Fun story, good gameplay and most importantly no subscription. It’s so nice to be able to play with breaks and come back whenever you want to with no need to open up your wallet every time, just buy the expansions and Living Worlds once and you are done!
- Comment on Assassin's Creed Shadows Will Feature Denuvo & Account Linking + EULA also requires you to allow Ubisoft to "monitor" your RAM 3 weeks ago:
Companies realized they can sell cheats as microtransactions instead and people will pay for them. They will likely also include some cosmetic microtransactions like their previous game, which they definitely don’t want people just cheating in. It’s why so many single player games require being always online as well.

Refresh rate is king. I would much rather use a 1080p 120+Hz monitor over 4k 60Hz. 1440p 144Hz is the sweet spot though, big visual improvement over 1080p without the need to bankrupt yourself on a GPU powerful enough to drive a 4k 120Hz display or relying on upscaling making everything a blurry mess.
- Comment on Baldur’s Gate 3 director says he thought the game would be too short because of all the cut content | VGC 3 months ago:
Yeah, I was very dissapointed by that as well. As far as I’m aware, the only time it matters is when
Act 3 spoiler
The Emperor offers you the Astral tadpole, if you used any worms you have to pass a check that grows harder the more worms you consumed to resist using it, if you abstained you can just say no.
Big shame that’s all that remains of this system.
- Comment on Baldur’s Gate 3 director says he thought the game would be too short because of all the cut content | VGC 3 months ago:
Yeah, stuffing more worms into your brain being purely a beneficial mechanic with no drawbacks is a very weird choice. This whole system was honestly better in early access than it ended up being, having the tadpoles be just a dialogue option with a very easy check but consequences the more you used them. The ring that Omeluum gives you was even supposed to help, only to get changes into a boring Charm resistance ring on release.

This looks much better than the last trailer, I appreciate how so many of the animations are clearly inspired by the janky but charming original ones. My biggest complaint from the Teaser was the overly talkative player character. Don’t turn the Nameless Hero into your bog standard “must comment on literally everything that happens” character so many modern games have.
- Comment on Gothic, Risen, and Elex Dev "Piranha Bytes" Reportedly the Latest Embracer Studio to Shut Down 5 months ago:
I’ll reserve my final judgment until 2nd of August and the THQ Nordic Showcase but the playable teaser they released doesn’t leave me optimistic either.
- Comment on Gothic, Risen, and Elex Dev "Piranha Bytes" Reportedly the Latest Embracer Studio to Shut Down 5 months ago:
The remake is still happening as it’s developed by Alkimia Interactive and published by THQ Nordic, Pyranha Bytes had nothing to do with it.
- Comment on Getting the Skyrim itch again... Any mod recommendations to freshen it up? 5 months ago:
While it’s not a gameplay mod, LORKHAN will freshen up your Skyrim experience all the same. It’s a complete soundtrack replacement mod created by the legendary young scrolls himself. It’s a stark departure from the original Skyrim’s soundtrack while still fitting in perfectly with the game.
- Comment on Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Saints and Sinners Trailer 6 months ago:
Guy is mad that Larian decided to add the pre-order items (literally some cosmetic items that reference their previous game, soundtrack, some art and DnD style character sheets for the Origins) as an optional bundle for people to buy if they missed out and want them. But “day 1 DLC bad” so it doesn’t matter how inoffensive this thing is, hate must flow, game shit, 0/10.
- Comment on Our Next Chapter On Road To Release | SKYBLIVION Development Diary 5 7 months ago:
They announced the release date in their previous development diary, assuming no unexpected delays it’s planed to come out in 2025. Follow Rebelzize, the project lead, on whatever socials you use if you want more frequent updates. He sometimes streams his work on the project on Twitch as well!
- Comment on Skywind 2024: The Road So Far 7 months ago:
Worth mentioning, the Skywind team is active on the Fediverse! They have a Lemmy community (!skywind@lemmy.world) and a Mastodon account.
- Comment on Our Next Chapter On Road To Release | SKYBLIVION Development Diary 5 7 months ago:
I’m very happy to see them re-implement the attribute system with classes and birthsigns while combining it with the Skyrim’s perk customization. Taking the best parts of both games! It’s also amazing to see the classic lockpicking minigame from Oblivion re-implemented! I always liked that system much more than the spin-the-circle one Bethesda has been using in every game since Skyrim.

- Comment on Windows users don't want copilot on their taskbar 8 months ago:
I recommend taking a look at this Linux gaming wiki guide about getting started. It is geared towards gaming, but even if that is not your primary focus there is a lot of really useful tips and steps to take for anyone trying to switch to Linux. If you have some other questions you can shoot me a DM, I’m by no means an expert but I’ve been using Linux for around 4 years now so I like to think I’m at least moderately experienced!

I stand corrected! That’s a lot worse then I thought.
- Comment on Halo Infinite Update to Bring Networking Overhaul, Easy Anti-Cheat, and More Next Week 9 months ago:
I’m pretty sure games that use kernel level anti-cheat on Windows do need administrator permissions to launch (I’m not certain though, I haven’t used Windows since before this whole kernel anti-cheat thing started to become common). It’s just that on Windows it’s a simple OK box majority of people click through without a thought because of how used they are to doing it without really knowing what it does.
- Comment on Halo Infinite Update to Bring Networking Overhaul, Easy Anti-Cheat, and More Next Week 9 months ago:
I dearly hope that it stays that way forever. Can you imagine having to input your sudo password before launching a game so it can compile and load some sketchy external kernel module? Fuck that!
- Comment on Halo Infinite Update to Bring Networking Overhaul, Easy Anti-Cheat, and More Next Week 9 months ago:
It absolutely is on Windows, on Linux all the kernel level anti-cheats that work at all (EAC, BattlEye) operate purely in user space with no kernel level permissions.
- Comment on Games that force you to make hard choices 11 months ago:
One of the few games where I naturally gravitated towards the lawful evil route because it just felt so natural. It’s such a shame we will probably never see a sequel.
- Comment on Lethal Company reaches 100,000 concurrent players on Steam 1 year ago:
This is a game that pretty much requires you to use voice chat to play it, and using voice chat in PUGs is not something I’m keen on doing.
- Comment on Lethal Company reaches 100,000 concurrent players on Steam 1 year ago:
Well deserved! I don’t have a group to play the game with myself, but I’ve been watching other people play it and it’s an absolute blast!
- Comment on The best MMOs in 2023 - PCGamer 1 year ago:
Whatever AI they used to write parts of this article must be trained on 2 years old data, where Shadowlands was the most recent expansion and where the 2003 release date of EVE would make it 18 years old, at least that’s my hypothesis. The part about Palia is likely just lazy journalism, where the author didn’t even do a basic search to check if the game actually came out, I mean they didn’t even take the time to correct these incredibly obvious mistakes!
- Comment on The best MMOs in 2023 - PCGamer 1 year ago:
This article was either written in parts by AI or the author is in such a hurry they didn’t have the time for even basic proofreading. In the first paragraph of the WoW part, they mention Shadowlands being the latest expansion (along with some hilariously false statements about it “bringing the game back to it’s glory early years” despite it being an absolute flop) only to mention Dragonflight in the very next one, even linking their own review of it!
- Comment on Skyblivion trailer | Our Scariest Update On The Road To Release 1 year ago:
Yes, I don’t remember if it was said during one of those showcase videos or if Rebel himself answered it during one of his streams but Daedric realms will be reworked to make them more interesting and fun to do.
- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion 1 year ago:
It really is! It’s honestly amazing how much love Morrowind is getting even even 21 years after it’s release! Between Tamriel Rebuilt and OpenMW, the game actually just keeps getting better and better with time!
- Comment on Skyblivion trailer | Our Scariest Update On The Road To Release 1 year ago:
I’m most excited about them reworking all of the dungeons and forts! One of the biggest issues I have with Oblivion (aside from the enemy level scaling) is how bland and boring most of it’s dungeons are. It makes exploring the world feel bad when I know 90% of the caves I enter will be the same and have no worthwhile loot in them.
- Comment on What did you think of Sea of Stars? 1 year ago:
I know about the bird, I just have absolutely no desire to go hunting through the maps for the one chest I missed. I’m not a completionist, and this game was definitely not incredible enough to get me to become one.
- Comment on What did you think of Sea of Stars? 1 year ago:
Oh, I thought that the conches were entirely a completionist thing, learning that they are required for the true ending puts a damper on my desire to finish this game… It was a fun game, but I got no desire to 100% it. Oh well, guess I’ll just watch the true ending on YouTube instead.
