- Comment on Codemasters confirms layoffs as EA-owned studio shifts focus away from beloved rally games 19 hours ago:
Honestly they should have never been yearly releases. Of course everyone is burnt out on them, and nothing innovate has happened in the rally codemaster games in years. I’m sad this is happening but it’s definitely mismanagement.
- Comment on Is The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion still fun for a first-time player in 2025? 5 days ago:
Yeah I definitely remember oblivion gates being a drag, but I only ever did the main campaign on one character so I never bothered with them on subsequent plays. Anyone know if the new version modifies the gates at all?
- Comment on Meta axes VR game developers amid $4.97 billion Reality Labs loss 1 week ago:
I mean we will never know but 5billion is a lot no one else is going to throw this much to VR. Gaben will buy another Yacht before valve spends this much. Apple will never care about gaming. Microsoft and google both develop as though they can’t focus on any project.
Sony has a nice headset, but it’s more of a whatever than a serious evolution of the industry.
Itch.io hosts some amazing game jams, and maybe we will see Godot and Unreal take up some slack but not five billion dollars worth.
- Comment on Meta axes VR game developers amid $4.97 billion Reality Labs loss 1 week ago:
I know people don’t like Zuck and meta in general. But flooding VR with money was a good thing for the medium. Lots of small teams and independents who otherwise couldn’t have developed for VR got to.

This cracked me up. Like I know the post is framed as a “war on Christian’s” thing but the idea that rugrats tackled these themes is just funny to me.
- Comment on Adult gamers of Lemmy how do you find time to game without being exhausted of the screen? 3 weeks ago:
It’s like the circle of life. Children start with console, move on to PC, return to console. Then LAN parties in the nursing home. I’ll touch back if I can ever afford to retire and let yall know.

Damn. Yeah that sounds good. Thanks for the heads up.
- Comment on Adult gamers of Lemmy how do you find time to game without being exhausted of the screen? 3 weeks ago:
I play on console mostly these days.
- Comment on [DCSS] I did it! I touched the Orb... 3 weeks ago:
Insane congrats. I love DCsS and haven’t touched it in a few months. Didn’t know they reworked Mahleb, maybe you’ve given me some encouragement to play.
I haven’t won in a while.

- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 hands-on reveals a proper generational upgrade, though its biggest new idea remains unproven 4 weeks ago:
Idk about your opinion on a touch screen. For both my switch and my steam deck, over 99% of their usage has been docked. A touch screen doesn’t do anything for gamers like me. I do use a keyboard and mouse very often with my deck too.
That said the joycon “mouse” looks way too small and uncomfortable.

Actually from the prices I’ve seen online they are about 5 /10 dollars more than digital versions.

So strange to me to do a prequel on something that although “loosely” is based on a true story?

Jesus. Sub 800 deaths is super impressive. Good job friend.

A dev recognizing the value of diversity. Nice.
- Comment on Roblox CEO tells parents that “if you're not comfortable, don't let your kids be on Roblox”. 1 month ago:
Terrible abusive parents shouldn’t be forced to have children they don’t want or need isn’t eugenics. Shitty people should know their options and we should celebrate abortion as a moral victory. So much less suffering in the world when unwanted children don’t have to suffer for 18 years.
- Comment on Roblox CEO tells parents that “if you're not comfortable, don't let your kids be on Roblox”. 1 month ago:
Honestly the answer is to punish bad parents. Not all of society and reasonable families. There is no orphan crushing machine, it’s people who shouldn’t be parents not being educated in why they shouldn’t. And abortion being turned into something political instead of the best choice for 99% of pregnant persons.
- Comment on Roblox CEO tells parents that “if you're not comfortable, don't let your kids be on Roblox”. 1 month ago:
Since you’re an idiot I’ll break this one down for you. Parents job = protect children. Governments job is to work for the citizens a majority of which are workers.
- Comment on Roblox CEO tells parents that “if you're not comfortable, don't let your kids be on Roblox”. 1 month ago:
Literally this shit applies to everything targeted to kids. It’s why advertising to them should be not allowed. That’s never going to happen though.
In the end it’s the parents responsibility to raise kids with a mediocre amount of media literacy to know what is and isn’t predatory.
- Comment on Roblox CEO tells parents that “if you're not comfortable, don't let your kids be on Roblox”. 1 month ago:
I disagree I think this is the only answer. It’s the answer law makers should take as well. If parents did their job just because something is made specifically for kids doesn’t mean they are getting on it. There were a ton of things I wasn’t allowed to do as a kid.
- Comment on Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3 - Announcement 1 month ago:
This kinda disappoints me. They promised a long lifecycle and that was one of the reasons I purchase. Granted I honestly did end up not liking the gameplay a ton (specifically invasions which I thought I’d love.) That said I really doubt anything they are developing is going to be a meaningful improvement. They should have supported 2 for a couple years worked in some new ideas/control/tech. Any campaign or enemy’s in the meantime could have been DLc and people would have purchased it. I’m not interested in “spacemarine” becoming a yearly or bi yearly release.
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remake Will Reportedly Be Revealed Soon, and Released Not Long After That 1 month ago:
That’s exciting. I wanted to play this again recently. I wanted specifically to play with a controller comfortably on a couch. This isn’t as easy as it sounds. My best bet was going to be getting the Xbox 360s digital version.

She was a very highly requested (and memed) assist.
What’s this about sandy hook terfs though?
- Comment on Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns – Official T-1000 Gameplay Trailer - YouTube 1 month ago:
I really wish I liked Mk1 better. The seasons were so abysmally boring I put the game down when it was time to grind the third one.
Online was fine, never had any netcode problems but the game just didn’t feel fun. I did not enjoy the air combos as much as I thought I would and Kameo timing while learnable never felt good to me. Graphics and campaign story were fine though. I’m waiting for Khaos Reigns to go on a deep discount for me to grab it just for the campaign.

- Comment on Are modern Final Fantasy games bad? 1 month ago:
FWIW 16 isn’t a basic medieval fantasy setting.
- Comment on Are modern Final Fantasy games bad? 1 month ago:
16 is absolutely fantastic. I haven’t read any reviews for it so I don’t know what they are saying but I had an absolute blast playing it. Had a smile on my face from beginning to end. Well, I enjoyed it atleast I found the ending very sad.
- Comment on The Genius of Meg White's drumming for The White Stripes | Drumeo [12:38] 1 month ago:
I don’t know that I agree that they are 100% because she is a woman. There aren’t that many bands from the 90s indie rock or early 2000 rock where a layman is going to know the name of the drummer. I think one of the things with the white stripes being a two person band was everyone knew Jack and Meg White, if you knew who the white stripes were. And then their biggest hits that got radio playtime, seven nation obviously and dead leaves on the dirty ground have relatively simple sounding drums. I think anyone who actually listened to the catalog from the band would not have those criticisms. But if you only know the radio hits 🤷🏻♂️.
I enjoyed the White Stripes a lot when I was younger, and I’ve never really enjoyed any of jacks other bands as much.

There is an insurance commercial about this movie and stuff not breaking through a roof. Made me chuckle.
