- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 1 day ago:
it doesn’t look “more realistic”, it completely changes the character’s appearance: hair that looks dyed, redder, fuller lips, more prominent cheekbones, a more defined chin, and eyes that instead of kinda looking away avoidedly, now stare at your soul through the screen (although that one might be just the lighting, idk)
basically this except more subtle, but the idea is the same, make her look more attractive under the guise of realism. it’s gross on its own, but the implications are even worse imo, just giving gooner chuds the tools to turn any game into the porn of their dreams, fuck art amirite? it’s literally turning everything you see on the computer into slop

oh i’m sure the “hire fans lol” gamer chuds will be over the moon about this
- Comment on Valve says 5,863 titles earned over $100,000 on Steam in 2025 6 days ago:
and considering that there were over 120k games released on steam as of 2025 😵💫
game development is not the goldmine some think it is

the fact that they picked a woman of color to be the new lead of xbox lmao. least obvious glass cliff

anyways play cassette beasts instead
- Comment on 'We Thought It Would Be Fun': Nintendo Has a Whole FAQ on Why It's Selling Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Separately for $20 Each - IGN 3 weeks ago:
everything about this release is ridiculous
20$ is way too expensive for what it is, it should honestly be 10/15$ at most
why just fire red/leaf green? why not other pokémon games? ruby, sapphire, emerald, these have never been rereleased!
why are all language versions separate purchases??? you couldn’t be arsed to bundle them?
the only new feature of this release, and really the only reason one might want to use this version instead of emulating on another platform, pokémon home compatibility, is not available at launch and will be added later. come on. - Comment on When a Nintendo lawyer joins a forum to ask for direct download links 3 weeks ago:

- Comment on ‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront 4 weeks ago:
i didn’t have any paywall, maybe it’s a regional thing? here’s a version that shouldn’t have it.
anyways, here’s a screenshot of the Relooted review i talked about. if you check the game’s negative reviews and sort by most pertinent, it’s the 3rd one. it was here yesterday, and despite me reporting it, it’s still here today, and in fact has been here since february 11th. as time of writing, it has 373 people who found it useful, and 115 who found it funny. some of the comments under that review are critical, but most just say “based” and the like.
CW: screenshot of a racist review, makes fun of George Floyd's death
it’s an anecdotal evidence, but as you said, “you can find articles and reddit posts claiming this same exact thing going back years”, doesn’t that mean it’s a recurring problem?
- Comment on ‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront 4 weeks ago:
as the article mentions, if you’d bothered to read it, steam rarely enforces their guidelines, which is the problem here
- Comment on ‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront 4 weeks ago:
for a more recent example, the negative reviews under Relooted are fucking sickening. one of the top ones is a joke making fun of George Floyd’s death.
what does steam do? nothing. valve is one of the most profitable companies per employee out there, and they have no pressure from investors to botch their work, they could absolutely moderate.
they actively choose not to, because despite what bootlickers on lemmy would have you believe, gabe newell is a libertarian dipshit who values “free speech” over the safety of marginalized people.

- Comment on What digital indie games would you like to see at libraries? 5 weeks ago:
i think Undertale would be a perfect fit for a library, it’s an amazing game with a great story (and especially great characters), it encourages compassion, and it’s not too long, so if you play it well you’re likely to finish it before having to return it!

Baba Is You feels like a flash game you’d play as a kid on a school computer, and i mean that in the best way possible

it seems likely, FF7 is one of the most voted for games on their dreamlist and 4 FF games released on GOG recently

- Comment on Bears or no bears? 1 month ago:
kinda, not really
arctic, from ancient greek ἀρκτικός did mean “of the bear” originally, probably as a reference to the constellation (cause i don’t think the ancient greeks ever went to the arctic to confirm if there were bears or not)
antarctica doesn’t mean “no bears”, it means “the opposite of the arctic”
- Comment on GOG now using AI generated images on their store 1 month ago:
if it’s any consolation, some people at GOG don’t like it either, so maybe they’ll revert this and won’t do it again
this sucks, still. to me this just sends the message that GOG doesn’t care and will not put much effort into what they do. that’s not a good message to send when you’re selling yourself as a games preservation platform…

"we care about games being DRM-free, and fucking nothing else this is our only value lmao"

- Comment on Ubisoft target audience when they play a good game 1 month ago:
that makes sense. maybe the mod they installed causes steam to not count the hours.
- Comment on Ubisoft target audience when they play a good game 1 month ago:
is the time shown on steam reviews accurate? cause i’d guess that it takes more than 12 minutes for a casual player to finish half-life 2
in fact i checked and the world record in speedrunning is around 36 minutes lol

it is your fault (collective, not individual) you didn’t change the spelling
rendez-vous’s spelling is perfectly regular in french
- Comment on Pet Peeves with Games? 2 months ago:
i can confirm that pokémon is normal and lets you have multiple switch accounts with multiple saves on one console. which is actually a big improvement, because pokémon never let you have multiple saves on one cartridge, so on older consoles you did have to buy multiple cartridges! (thankfully you could share the console because the save was on the cartridge, not the console)
on switch, animal crossing is the only game i can think of where there’s only one save per console. and even then, i think they added save slots in the latest update
5 years later… meh. better late than never i guess.
- Comment on ‘As usual, we do what Nintendon’t’: Peripheral firm ‘fixes’ Switch 2’s new Joy-Cons 2 months ago:
to save you a click: the “problem” that was “fixed” is that the new joycons weren’t colorful enough. so dbrand (the “peripheral firm”) made decals with more prominent colors.

- Comment on The Best-Selling Video Games Since 2020 2 months ago:
i’m wondering if the boycott had adverse effects and promoted the game in more gamer-centric spaces that otherwise wouldn’t have cared that much
obviously it’s a harry potter game, it was always gonna sell well. but 2nd best selling game of the last 5 years??? ouch
- Comment on Among 2025 games with over 10K reviews, Deltarune is the most highly rated 2 months ago:
honestly surprised so few people mentioned deltarune during the GOTY discussions
maybe because it’s not technically fully released yet?
