- Comment on Half-Life 2 peaks at 52,000 concurrent players, 20 years after its release 5 days ago:
The full list is on steam, the main thing is it’s bundled all hl2 games in one package, integrated workshop for mod installation, and added new developer commentary for hl2. Also a bunch of misc fixes etc.
- Comment on Hades II - Seize Victory in The Olympic Update 5 weeks ago:
I can feel that, some games can really abuse the system. It can be beneficial when we’re talking about large feature sets being released, both for developers as well as people keeping track of what’s currently in the game.
Hades 2 I would argue makes sense as they just added what’s essentially another chapter of the story. Its initial release was also in a really decent state which helps a lot.
- Comment on Elden Ring is "the limit" for From Software project scale, says Miyazaki - multiple, "smaller" games may be the "next stage" 3 months ago:
Fantastic, I’m sure it was a hell of a slog for them. I’m really looking forward to their next games, their one offs like Bloodborne and Sekiro are my favourites.
- Comment on The Terminator returns to theaters with 4K transfer...Will AI ruin another James Cameron film? 3 months ago:
Nerrel did a great video, explains the difference between good remaster techniques and just pointing AI at it as well
- Comment on Archaeology Problems 4 months ago:
You are correct about the race bias, and it’s to a much lesser extent, but people do also say Stonehenge was built by aliens. As early as 1968 apparently.

Hell yeah, I get swarms of king parrots turn up and they’re majestic.
- Comment on Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster - Announcement Trailer 4 months ago:
The original is on steam now if you didn’t already know. I still love the original, I feel like the sequels kind of lost something and I’m a bit afraid this remake might have the same problem. It’s fine either way, the original will always be there, but I would have loved something more in line with the original.
- Comment on Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster - Announcement Trailer 4 months ago:
Looks like it’ll be very similar, the voice actor change for Frank and the character models really throw me off though.
- Comment on Elden Ring is "the limit" for From Software project scale, says Miyazaki - multiple, "smaller" games may be the "next stage" 4 months ago:
Thank fuck. I like Elden Ring but it took 100 hours start to finish with DLC included. Give me more Sekiro and bloodborne please, stuff on that scale seems to be the best environment for from.

Well how else are they going to justify strip searching minors?
- Comment on Ikea’s CEO has solved the Swedish retailer’s global ‘unhappy worker’ crisis by raising salaries, introducing flexible working and subsidizing childcare 5 months ago:
Wow crazy how could we have predicted this
- Comment on Ubisoft Excited To Let You Know Prince Of Persia Remake Is Still Years Away 5 months ago:
Honestly to God, while I get wanting to play an updated version of games you love, I played through the original trilogy off of gog a few months ago, and they have stood up remarkably well. I can’t help but see all of this as a bit silly.
- Comment on Hades 2 will likely be in early access until 2025, with first big update to add new enemies, maps and features 5 months ago:
Frankly given what they’ve promised and what’s already in there it could easily go to 3x. It’s fucking bananas. I was 30 runs in, and still finding new NPCs and events.
- Comment on UK petition of "Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state" just got thrown back to the Government 5 months ago:
There might still be something you can do, go to www.stopkillinggames.com and you can see what you can do based on your country.
- Comment on Anon discovers a diet trick 5 months ago:
It’s stupid but sometimes to fight the unhealthy parts of your brain you have to resort to less than optimal strategies. If it works, even just as a stopgap, it’s a win.
- Comment on Anon catches his wife 6 months ago:
It’s never bothered me as a concept either, though I’ve never had it tested. I figure it’s just a inbuilt bias or underlying thought pattern that has been built in from an early age. Not the best honestly, but not really a battle worth prioritising either.
- Comment on Choose your difficulty 6 months ago:
Eh, I see plenty of shit around the world that makes me happy I’m here. It’s fucking wild to think that after your cats have found yet another majestic galloping hand sized spider that you have to save from them.
- Comment on Choose your difficulty 6 months ago:
Haha no not quite that paranoid. Nah it’s mostly a rule for like moving stuff around in the garden and if you’re in the bush or whatever. Like the shit you have to worry about will either let you know, or set up a home far away from you. Generally. So it’s kind of another way of saying don’t put you hand into a redback nest.
Though saying that most people have had harrowing huntsman spider encounters, often in bed. They’re the most common surprise as they actively move around to hunt prey, instead of building webs. They can’t really hurt humans, aside from hiding behind your sun visor in the car and scaring you half to death, like my girlfriend had last year. They are a non zero statistic in cause of car accidents unfortunately.

ISPs can monitor and such, I’ve not gone into the intricacies of the laws myself. One can get around it all pretty easily.
Tbh game prices are actually not too bad here. I don’t pirate games, steam etc are just too reasonable, and I don’t buy them that often.

Wait do you guys not? Next you’ll tell me you don’t eat your national animal

Look you’re right and the housing market is a catastrophe also
- Comment on Choose your difficulty 6 months ago:
I’m gonna be real with you all, I’m in Australia and it’s a little embarrassing how hard you think we have it over here compared to the shit I’ve heard from other places. Like don’t fuck with the animals and don’t put your hands in areas you can’t see and you’re golden. I’ve had to deal with random violence like three times in my 34 years here. It’s pretty alright here.
- Comment on Voyager 1 6 months ago:
100% they’ve got an emulator, they’ve had dedicated test environments since the moon landing for emulating disaster recovery scenarios since the moon landings, they’ve likely got at least one functioning hardware replica and very likely can spin up a hardware emulation as a virtual machine at will.
Source: I made this up, but I have a good understanding of systems admin and have a interest in space stuff so I’m pretty confident they would have this stuff at bare minimum
