- Comment on Nintendo Updates Its User Agreement To Crack Down On Emulation 1 day ago:
They wish they could stop me from emulating old games lol
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 5 days ago:
I hope it does worse than the Wii U tbh, Nintendo needs to be knocked down quite a few pegs. I am quite fed up with them.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 5 days ago:
I’m not so sure.
All of my friends who are less pissed off at Nintendo than I am are not even considering buying a Switch 2 because Nintendo basically priced themselves out of the market. All of my friends who have a Switch 1 will not be buying the Switch 2, that’s pretty significant IMO, but I guess we’ll see.
- Comment on Gears of War: Reloaded announced, coming this summer to PC, Xbox, and PlayStation 1 week ago:
Agreed completely, I just wish that they would stop remastering Gears 1 only and give 2 and 3 some much deserved love too.
- Comment on Apex Legends writer gets laid off 24 hours after the character she wrote is revealed, because that's what the games industry in 2025 looks like 1 week ago:
It wasn’t a clear end in sight, there was still lots of content and systems that needed to be ported over to the new system, a new payment system to be integrated, and other new features they needed. They had two developers who were familiar with the system, me and another dev. I did kind of suspect that something like this was possible, but I didn’t think they would be dumb enough to actually do it. It turns out, they were dumb enough to do it.
They were just really cheap, and I was most likely their highest paid developer on my team, and myself and another dev were replaced by friends of manager that laid me off.
After that manager laid me off, I asked for a reference or a letter of recommendation, and was ghosted entirely. It happens.
- Comment on Apex Legends writer gets laid off 24 hours after the character she wrote is revealed, because that's what the games industry in 2025 looks like 1 week ago:
I got laid off 3 months after I launched a modern website to replace my former company’s old platform that none of their other developers wanted to work with.
I did exactly what they told me, something they wanted for years and years, and then I got laid off as a thanks instead of a bonus.
lol
- Comment on 8BitDo no longer shipping to US from China due to Trump tariffs 1 week ago:
There are dozens of us!
- Comment on Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version 4 weeks ago:
Technically they’re right, which is why pirating Ubisoft games is ethical.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 4 weeks ago:
Sure but his doctors are keeping him alive regardless, clogged arteries no problem they’ll clear that right up too.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 4 weeks ago:
I’d say there’s zero chance, he could probably easily outlive us all somehow.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 5 weeks ago:
It was a rough estimate, it’s “only” $114 AUD.
- Comment on I don't know who needs to hear this, but DO NOT EVER expose Jellyfin to the internet 5 weeks ago:
Many of these have already been fixed FWIW, it’s not a collection of open issues.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 5 weeks ago:
So it’s $650 CAD $700 AUD for the Switch 2 and it’s $120 CAD $150 AUD for Mario Kart.
LMAO

I think so yes (there is a stereotype about them for good reason after all), but I think things are trending in an extremely concerning direction and things are going to get worse. I mean, they’re clearly trying to make younger Americans less intelligent, look at what they’re doing with the department of education.
- Comment on Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind? 1 month ago:
True, but if you die, you won’t be doing much running anymore anyway.
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 1 month ago:
Half of the Americans are in favor of this clown, and the other half either are too drained from the whole thing, can’t afford to miss work, or just don’t know how to protest.
- Comment on PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now 1 month ago:
Yep, that’s the thing. Games have to be bigger, better, more fun than ever before, and yet the publishers and management want it to be done quicker and quicker than ever before, so it’s a pretty difficult thing. That, combined with bad working conditions and the public shitting on you because “game devs are shitty/greedy/etc” with developers being used coloquially to absorb all the blame that should be reserved for management, and things are in a pretty tough spot.
Though, at the same time, it’s a better time now than ever before to actually be a gamer, because not only can you play any half-decent new games, but you can also play the entire library of older games, retro games, etc.
- Comment on PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now 1 month ago:
I was playing a bunch of Skyrim with mods last year! Awesome game.
- Comment on If I don't have my lunch my sugar crashes and I get sleepy 1 month ago:
That sounds more like a concert in the early 2000s than a music festival
- Comment on Emulating PS2 for my Steam Deck, would love any recommendations! 2 months ago:
All the GTA games (GTA III, GTA VC, GTA SA, GTA LCS, GTA VCS). There are some good Need for Speed games too, and a bunch of great Tony Hawk games. TimeSplitters, SOCOM, and Red Faction are great too.
- Comment on PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why 2 months ago:
Yep, just like serverless computing that doesn’t use servers, or how games benefit heavily from the blockchain and companies are always hiring blockchain devs.
- Comment on PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why 2 months ago:
Nope, people in IT know that the cloud is just someone else’s computer lol
- Comment on PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why 2 months ago:
They sent thoughts and prayers.
5 days of PSN for free.
lol
- Comment on Nintendo loses trademark fight against Super Mario supermarket 3 months ago:
Especially since they have a trademark for Super Mario when it comes to coffee lol
- Comment on Nintendo loses trademark fight against Super Mario supermarket 3 months ago:
Nintendo probably didn’t lol
- Comment on Anyone else suddenly itching to blast Nazis in Wolfenstein for no reason at all? 3 months ago:
6 of them now lol
- Comment on Video Games Can’t Afford to Look This Good 4 months ago:
I mean, look at Nintendo. Obviously aggressive legal tactics aside, they make some damn fun games because they know that gameplay matters more than graphics.
- Comment on What games have you sunk the most time into? 4 months ago:
Well, I seem to like shooters: Image
but realistically, I have like, many dozens of games with like 30-80 hours played, I’m really into variety gaming.
The only exceptions to this are RuneScape (OSRS and RS2 back in the day), World of Warcraft (I played a ton of Cata until maybe a year before Legion), Starcraft 2, League of Legends, and Osu.
- Comment on Is it time to start a campaign against kernel-level anticheat? 4 months ago:
There are tons of good games always coming out even recently, unless you only like multi-player games.
- Comment on Is it time to start a campaign against kernel-level anticheat? 4 months ago:
On areweanticheatyet.com it seems like the percentage of denied/broken keeps getting higher and higher :(
I guess it makes sense, new games come out with anticheat, and rarely do new games come out without anticheat.
