  Good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon pitches a new game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Sims and sports games are just rehashes.

  Or re-releases.

  And every AAA studio will slowly stop investing into new IPs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon pitches a new game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know what you mean.

  Every sports game is barely an asset flip, sometimes even with wrong years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon pitches a new game⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  WHY DO PEOPLE BUY THAT??!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Asus and Lenovo’s handhelds get price hike as Valve pauses some Steam Deck sales⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I pre-ordered the Steam Deck.

  That is the only thing I did in the last decade.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon pitches a new game⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And the market proves it’s true.

  How in the hell is EA still not dead?

  Many studios produce barely acceptable shit, yet people buy it in droves.

  You’re going to need buckets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games are just objective master pieces?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Man, I miss those times.

  My favourite kill vid I go back to is www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnnY9e_7XZw

  I should just host some CS1.6 servers and hope some people start playing.

  Nice!

  What are you doing tonight?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tragic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Real men only use st.

  .

  I’m not one of them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tragic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  emerge human/personality && eselect personality set popular

  I use Gentoo btw

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tragic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I use Gentoo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games are just objective master pieces?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Send me links of what you’re watching, I wanna watch too :D

  I remember those frag compilations vids, those were so badass.

  You can’t replicate that era, you have to keep the memories alive inside you, and perhaps try to improve some other communities.

  I plan on helping/sponsoring some minor leagues just for the fun, find a game and try to make some magic happen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So close!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen it as ‘brother in Christ’, but this is proper gender neutral

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games are just objective master pieces?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, me too… man, I would play 16+ hours on some weekends… I was kinda good, too. Too young, but godly reflexes. I still think about those days sometimes…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games are just objective master pieces?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but it still popped into my mind sooner than other games, dunno why,

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games are just objective master pieces?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried playing it, but the combat… the combat, man, I can play many games, finished Elden Ring, played ton of CS1.6, Dota 2, Terraria Infernum… but Sekiro I could not finish.

  I’ve heard it’s a rhytmic game, but I suck at those, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games are just objective master pieces?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Games I haven’t seen mentioned yet:

  • Fez - cute little 2D/3D platformer. It’s amazing and very wholesome
  • Stalker: Shadow of Chenrobyl - dunno what exactly is it, perhaps the settings and the grit, but it has a special place in my heart. It’s about average FPS, but not too long and for me enjoyable
  • F.E.A.R. - very good FPS, with amazingly scripted enemies, decent horror elements (not compulsory - you might miss some of them if you’re not looking).
  • Prince of Persia: Warrior Within - for me the best 3rd person action adventure ever. Best combat hands down (or head, or torso, you choose), streamlined blade dance at your fingertips. You play with your enemies, and you get many tools. There are some locked camera issues.
  • Touhou: Lost branch of time - If you liked Slay the Spire, but wished for colorful mana, this is the game for you. It has anime artstyle, I usually focus on the cards, though it might turn some people off
  • Dota 2 - Dunno if it was mentioned and I didn’t see, but the mechanics are absolutely amazing, the things the game lets you get away with are incredible. 10/10, but other people might bring your experience down. Specially friends. Can play against custom (workshop) bots. Still takes too long to git gud. I studied the game for 10 years and still sucked.
  • Divinity 2: Original Sin - also haven’t seen a mention, everybody talks about BG3, I haven’t yet played it, but D2:OS was also a masterpiece. Haven’t played a lot of TRPGs, this was a blast, with easily set up multiplayer. Played through it twice completely, with many abandoned runs.
  • CS 1.6 - remember that? I lost my childhood to that. They don’t make counter strikes this good anymore.
  • Synthetik - top-down rougelike shooter, with amazing weapons and physics and classes and enemies and mechanics and 2 person multiplayer
  • Dwarf Fortress - the real objectively best game :D strategy simulation of the 3D box world, predecesor to both Minecraft and Terraria, but with A LOT more sand in your box. They are still extending it. And it’s on Steam if you want a UI.
  • Terraria (Calamity mod) - Terraria is obviously a great game, but what makes it 20/10 is the mods. Calamity specifically. Tripple the content, 5x the difficulty (20x if you try Infernum), amazing multiplayer experience. Don’t install Infernum if you haven’t beaten at least Revengeance on Calamity. Trust me, it will fuck you up.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games are just objective master pieces?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried to play that game, expecting perhaps a DMC-like gameplay.

  Instead I got a 2D plane scroller?

  Then 2D sort of platformer?

  Then some weird 3D action that I did not understand at all?

  What the fuck is that game.

  If I enjoyed combat more, I could give it another go. But it was just not for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon discovers cigarettes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Smoked 2 cigs way back when.

  Only caughed with no benefits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To join Facebook these days, one must record a video selfie⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Their point still stands - the bots need to know who to target to generate revenue, otherwise they waste your money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe turns subscription screw again, telling users to pay up or downgrade⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t pirate their software, it still helps them keep up the monopoly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[DeliberatelyBuried] Ratatouille⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wrong hole, buddy

  HARDER!!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, AI will eventually replace some workers. But that day is still a long way off⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It would be, until I’ve seen millenials do the exact same thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, AI will eventually replace some workers. But that day is still a long way off⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but the image seems pretty spot on, and that’s what you replied to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, AI will eventually replace some workers. But that day is still a long way off⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What is accurate then?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI hallucinations are getting worse – and they're here to stay⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are many interesting AI applications, LLM or otherwise, but I’m talking about the IT bubble, that grows so big it will finally consume the industry. If it ever pops, the correction will not be pretty. For anyone.

  I evaded the BS for now, but it feels like I won’t be able to hide much longer. And it saddens me. I used to love IT :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI hallucinations are getting worse – and they're here to stay⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But that won’t happen, since the bubble rose on promises of gorillions of returns, and those have not manifested yet.

  We are so fucking stupid, I hate this timeline.
