- Comment on ‘Palworld: Feybreak’ Draws 200,000 Concurrent Players, Now In Steam’s Top 10 2 weeks ago:
Especially detachable controllers and their games supporting them. You can have two per player in a 4 player game, or 8 where each holds one. I quite liked the feature and found it novel. I am not sure if you can do the same using emulators - or at least do it as seamlessly.
- Comment on ‘Palworld: Feybreak’ Draws 200,000 Concurrent Players, Now In Steam’s Top 10 3 weeks ago:
The only way there is emulation. Sure, you won’t get to use the cool features of their hardware, and you might get to play a buggy game a year after release, but you are not supporting a shifty company - and that counts.

Dumb article trying to make laziness a feature (not a bug), and shit on boomers.

- Comment on PEGI gives Balatro an 18+ rating for gambling imagery 5 weeks ago:
Fuck PEGI, their ratings always sucked and weren’t useful at all. Full blown swearing? 13+. One cigar through 500 hours of gameplay? Adults only. Never cared, never will.
- Comment on Is it time to start a campaign against kernel-level anticheat? 5 weeks ago:
Not, the problem is that kernel level ACs are a security and privacy risk, a violation of what I do and what I am willing to share, and a bullshit way to enforce fair play. They already suck at detecting cheats, it is a cat and mouse game, and the mouse has always been ahead.
Next thing is they will require for me to stream my face, hands, and feet to ensure I am not cheating…

You can do it the same way you pickle cucumbers, just leave out the cucumbers (or use less of em).

Oh, completely forgot about my Steam Deck, it is just that seamless.
I also hate the other side of the coin that is against both Steam and EGS. Citing Steam doesn’t “deserve your loyalty”. Why not? I can’t really pinpoint any particular fuckup in the 15 years I’ve been using it. Sure, some delays in games, updates, and other minor shit - but imagine if like game ratings broke, I am sure they’d get fixed in an hour.
Steam absolutely deserves our loyalty.
