- Comment on Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Dies In Plane Crash 2 hours ago:
I’m not saying he was a good guy, but he ain’t a war criminal and was maybe really nice for all we know so I don’t really understand how you can be happy about such news.
- Comment on I want a new retro Final Fantasy 19 hours ago:
Also available on GOG I think if you want to make sure you’ll be able to play it forever
- Comment on Electronic Arts has launched EA Advertising, a way for brands to integrate ads in games 3 days ago:
I don’t really mind if it doesn’t break the immersion or lower the quality of a game.
If it’s some unskipable add or some big billboards for Pepsi in a medieval game, I do mind.
- Comment on Day 696 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 5 days ago:
Yeah I don’t like this too, but it’s already more acceptable for me than buying games owned by Microsoft, which I’m trying to avoid with some failures…
- Comment on Day 696 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 5 days ago:
I know people have some reasons to dislike EA, but they’ve created some really great games and some of my favorites:
Mass Effect trilogy Titanfall 2 Dead Space trilogy Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor Battlefield 1
As much as I wouldn’t want them becoming worse, they can still get some of my money from time to time
- Comment on Day 697 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 5 days ago:
Agreed, but it’s still very good and worth your time!
- Comment on Day 696 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 week ago:
I loved this game and enjoyed its sequel! It’s the best Star Wars game I’ve played I guess.
- Comment on Gears Of War: E-Day Reportedly Has A Staggering $400 Million Budget 1 week ago:
Gosh that’s huge and is a big risk!
I loved the first Gears of War and am looking forward to repoaying it on my Steam Deck once my backlog is cleared, but I feel like the franchise is loosing traction.
As long as I’m not the one paying the 400 millions, I don’t really care, but this sounds unhealthy.
- Comment on Alien: Isolation 2 | World Premiere Trailer and Interview 2 weeks ago:
You won’t regret playing it! It’s a great game!
- Comment on FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION - Reveal Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Look forward to this one even if I miss the turn based system of the original.
- Comment on Until Dawn 2 - Announce Trailer | PS5 Games 2 weeks ago:
I love these games.
Looking forward to play this one, but first it’ll be Directive 8020 and maybe the Walikind dead once again (by telltale).
- Comment on GTA 6 Developers Announce Rockstar Games Union 3 weeks ago:
I wish she was less pretty as Nico Bellic or the other characters weren’t.
Why can’t she just be a normal looking lady, not ugly, but normal.
I don’t want to be attracted to her…
- Comment on Valve raises Steam Deck prices by more than $200 3 weeks ago:
The only good side is that people are gonna replace their machines less often and that developpers might look at making games playable on less powerful hardware.
The gamers who are really in trouble are the ones without a PC, a console or whatever yet. Or the ones without something on the verge of failing…
I think it can have benefits for the gaming industry in a way.
- Comment on Steam - new record for concurrent players online (37,185,128) on 19th May, 2026 3 weeks ago:
Yes I know but it would be nice to be able to know directly from Steam if a game is DRM Free or not.
- Comment on Steam - new record for concurrent players online (37,185,128) on 19th May, 2026 4 weeks ago:
Steam is great and I love what they’re bringing.
Still I’m trying to buy 50% of my games on GOG because no monopoly is good and Steam still has DRM’s and no real transparency about it.
- Comment on PlayStation boss says single-player games won’t come to PC going forward | VGC 4 weeks ago:
Then I’m happy to have a Playstation 5 that I don’t use as much as my Steam Deck, but it would take a lot of great single player games to make me buy a Playstation 6 alongside my future Steam Machine.
- Comment on Forza Horizon 6 Leaks And Is Being Pirated On PC More Than A Week Before Release 5 weeks ago:
A lot of my colleagues love playing games simulating our job.
I don’t because I eork enough already and don’t want to get bad reflexes from something badly represented in a sim.

- Comment on "You Were Supposed to Feel Lost": Metal Gear Solid 2 and the Shock of Playing as Raiden 2 months ago:
I’m trying to force myself to forget about this game.
For me MGS ended with number 4. The prologue from MGSV was good but the rest of the game is just bad, without any deep and interesting story…
- Comment on Confirmed: PS5 console prices are being raised by $100 | VGC 2 months ago:
My son is pretty lucky as I’m the only dad around with a Steam Deck and a Playstation 5.
He didn’t even have to ask for these as I’m the one gaming the most.
I guess none of his friends is gonna get a Steam Deck or a Playstation 5 soon with the prices or the availability of these things…
- Comment on Nvidia's DLSS 5 Is a Slap in the Face to the Art of Video Game Design 2 months ago:
To be honest it looks great and at first I thought about how impressive it is.
Then you think about how it modifies what was created and how it could lack consistency with a character looking a certain way in a part of the game and differently later.
I don’t know know what to think about these technologies like FSR and DLSS…
I don’t think I mind the fake frames as it could give you more performance on something like a Steam Deck, but the rest is tricky…
- Comment on Asset reuse in videogames is essential, and we need to embrace it, says Assassin's Creed and Far Cry director: 'We redo too much stuff' 2 months ago:
Interesting article. I think it would be really stupid to not reuse stuff if your game is set in a realistic universe (would be different for a cartoonish universe).
In fact, it would even be a way to avoid using AI (even if I think we’ll end up with devs reusing stuff and using AI).
Then you can use colors or lighting to create a different feel to the game, just like different movie directors can film the same place in a totally different way.
- Comment on Are achievements still relevant in 2026—especially when mods disable them? 3 months ago:
As you can see, I care about achievements: sh.itjust.works/post/56525516
As others have said, it’s a great incentive to go deeper in a game. It should just not become a grind and that’s why I don’t 100% a lot of games.
It can also make you remember what branch of a story you went for in a story driven game.
If it gives data to developer about how a game is played, it ain’t something I mind as the way I play isn’t a important privacy wise as other data.
What’s stupid is when people buy a game just because it has easy achievements though…
- Comment on Roblox says it paid out $1.5B to game creators in 2025 and the top 1,000 earned $1.3M on average; 50%+ of creators list high school as their highest education 3 months ago:
The voice chat isn’t activated on my kids account as hés clearly too young. I didn’t have anything to do to disable it, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable if he wasn’t playing Roblox in the luving room where I can see what hés playing.
Also he loves it when I watch him play so we get to share and discuss a lot about the games he plays.
I guess Roblox is a game where you have to have good parenting behind.
- Comment on Roblox says it paid out $1.5B to game creators in 2025 and the top 1,000 earned $1.3M on average; 50%+ of creators list high school as their highest education 3 months ago:
My son plays a lot of Roblox.
At first I had a really bad impression about it because I thought it was just another microtransaction hell with pedophiles lurking around.
In the end, hés not really spending money and there are some pretty good and different games on the platform.
I also appreciate the fact that Roblox made him accept that you can play graphically simple games and have fun on cheap hardware.
So, while I’d prefer if he only played single player games on Linux or Playstation like me, I think Roblox is better than what people are saying.
I’m not saying it’s good for the game industry or consumer, but it’s almost better than an Nba 2k with its constant microtransactions despite paying for the game already…
- Comment on Xbox Project Helix may cost $1,200 with massive performance upgrades 3 months ago:
Yeah I know. What I wanted to say is that it would be an incentive to buy one (and convert it to Linux) if they were losing money on every unit.
- Comment on Xbox Project Helix may cost $1,200 with massive performance upgrades 3 months ago:
That would feel even sweeter if they were losing money on every Helix sold.
To be honest, my Linux daily driver is a Microsoft Surface Go 1 and it has served me well for the last 6 years.
Still it’s not what I’d get if I had to choose again.
So if I have to upgrade from my Steam Deck/Playstation 5 gaming combo, it’s probably be a Steam Machine, even if it’s way less poweful than Helix.
- Comment on EA invents new microtransaction nightmare as it breaks paywall promise on Skate: rent a playable area for 24 hours or buy a premium pass, bucko 3 months ago:
Add Mass Effect, Dead Space and Star Wars Jedi series…
- Comment on Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems. 3 months ago:
While I understand the pain of someone having no hardware right now, I think you should still be able to get an old gaming PC or an old Playstation 4 to enjoy games.
In fact, almost everyone has something like this lying around…
While it means running old AAA or lower demanding current games, it’s still great gaming time.
- Comment on Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy 3 months ago:
You haven’t read my comment I guess.
I have a lot of games that I bought (mostly for max CHF 20.-, so max 25$), but they are only playing free live service games.
