Hope you feel better soon.

I just have this feeling that someday soon we’re going to look back at this time and wish we’d stood up and acted while we could. I’m not advocating murder - but we’re voting in elections and having endless online discussions while the world is circling the drain.

Seems to run great.

Yeah, it also puts off people like me who are crap at games but still want to enjoy them. I am in my 50s and missed a couple decades of gaming. Recently got a steam deck and been trying to catch up. Recently finished bioshock! And I’m about halfway through doom 2016, enjoying it a lot. But I know I’m shit, I’m playing on little bitch difficulty and I still got stuck on a boss for two frustrating weeks.
My point is that some of their market it going to be people like me who don’t have time to put hundreds of hours into learning the mechanics but just want to have fun for an hour here or there and blow up some monsters.

Lol he may not actually know he’s sharing these with everyone. I’m which case he’s in for a disconcerting moment when he realises.
- Comment on Resident Evil 2 remake has sold fewer than 10,000 copies on iOS, estimates suggest 4 weeks ago:
Yeah I’ve had this problem recently. I bought limbo on steam to play on my steam deck. Recently realised there’s an android version but it seems like to use it on my phone I would have to buy the game again on Google play. Maybe I’m wrong about this, it seems to me that once you’ve bought a game in one format you should be able to download it in any format.
- Comment on GTA VI Might Inspire Other AAA Developers to Price Their Games at $100 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, and we have inflation going on, prices are going to increase. That’s not a crazy price for a game you’ll enjoy for years - if it’s not broken when it’s released. If you pay that money and have to wait for months of patches you’d prob be a bit pissed off.

I keep seeing people comment that they really like it, I’m wondering if it’s completely inaccessible for someone who has never played poker?
- Comment on Got any must-play games for strategy fans? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, I recently replayed homeworld 1 and 2 and they hold up well. Still haven’t played Deserts of Kharak but that looks good too. I’ve not played 3 either but unfortunately I’ve heard it’s not great.

- Comment on Anon gets rid of crackheads 5 weeks ago:
I had smack and crack habits off and on for almost twenty years. Never stole anything (aside from occasionally shoplifted food). I always worked and paid for my shit. However there are an awful lot of people out there who use their habits to justify shitty behaviour, so yeah, I’d err on the side of caution.

Neck tie.
- Comment on SteamOS expands beyond Steam Deck 1 month ago:
Hmm yeah I was thinking about possibly trying to boot from a usb. Haven’t done that with linux since the 90s, I guess I assumed the linux os thingie would be too big or too slow. Maybe I’ll give that a try, thanks for the suggestion.
Yeah I’ve been out of the loop with tech for fuckin decades. Bought the laptop a while back without knowing about the Nvidia ting. TBH I mostly start the laptop up maybe once a week for spreadsheets, calibre, and as a file transfer medium. I’d planned on using it for gaming too but then I got a steam deck. But yeah, there’s some stuff I can’t easily do on steam deck and I’m really getting sick of fuckin windows. Every time I start the machine it’s trying to install some new AI shit or something. I don’t need that, just want a working computer!
But you’re right - next time I buy a laptop - if I need to - I’m thinking AMD for sure.
- Comment on DeckSight: OLED mod for the LCD Steam Deck 1 month ago:
Yeah I don’t either. I have an oled steam deck, my mate has an LCD one. I can’t really see much difference TBH, they’re both great little machines.
- Comment on SteamOS expands beyond Steam Deck 1 month ago:
I’ve heard linux has problems with laptops with Nvidia cards, like I have. Is this still an issue? I’m getting pretty fucked off with windows but frankly don’t have time to embark on an ongoing technical challenge.
- Comment on Longtime buddy of mine just got a gaming PC. What games would make up a good "welcome to PC" care package? 1 month ago:
I thought the old homeworld games were great. Kind of RTS in space ships. They’re old now but still good.

Not every purchase in the UK either.
- Comment on Do you have any recommendations for casual games? 2 months ago:
I am in a similar situation, I get home tired from work and don’t have much time to myself, I can pick up my steam deck for half an hour or so but not long enough to get very involved with something. I’ve been playing doom 2016, you don’t have to commit much time to it at once. I’m pretty shit at it though.
- Comment on Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale? 2 months ago:
Hmm I’m not sure I like the idea of tilting the device - with the steam deck you’re tilting the screen too. Doesn’t that impact your view of the screen?
But I’m definitely gonna try your trackpad suggestion. Thanks, I’ll see how it goes. Do you use it in hectic situations - like doom etc? Or is it better for sniping and stuff where you have time to aim?
- Comment on How Trump's Tariffs Could Cost Gamers Billions 2 months ago:
I kinda missed the gamer gate thing, was distracted by other shit and wasn’t gaming at the time. Am I right in thinking it was some kind of misogynist incel bullshit? Like, girls aren’t allowed to play with the boys’ toys?
But yeah, I’ve seen enough stuff on discussion boards and heard enough anecdotes to see that there’s a lot of bigotry in gaming. The hard right are successfully using it as a recruitment platform for kids. Fuckin appalling, but they are well organised and fascists don’t have to worry so much about sectarianism.
I just don’t get how people can’t see that there’s strength in diversity. Like, in gaming you want a team with different skills, abilities, experiences, and characteristics. It’s the same IRL - a diverse community is a strong community.
- Comment on Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale? 2 months ago:
Man I’m the same. I have a couple hours screen time after work but often I’m tired an just wanna read a book.
I’ve only just started gaming again after a twenty year gap so I’ve got a big wishlist. I get excited about games that I want to play, buy them on sale - and then don’t have time to play them.
I started gaming when pong and space invaders were cutting edge. There’s just so much cool stuff out there these days, damn we’re lucky, I just wish I had more playtime!
- Comment on Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale? 2 months ago:
Hmm no I haven’t. Thanks, maybe I should give it a try. I guess trackpad aim is just using the pads instead of the joystick? I’ve not used gyros at all, does that require tilting the device? Yeah I seem to be enjoying FPS games but I’m frustrated by how shit I am even on easy mode! I used to be good at unreal tournament way back but seems like games have come a long way since then and I’ve lost the knack.
- Comment on Day 134 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 2 months ago:
I played silent hill and silent hill 2 long ago on a PS2, really enjoyed them and I’m up for giving this a go. Did you mention in another post that you’re playing it on a steam deck? I would be doing the same, how’s it going? Steam says it’s unsupported.
- Comment on Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale? 2 months ago:
I got a steam deck last spring, before that I’ve not done any gaming since I had a PS2 so I’ve got a good twenty years of games to catch up on. It’s a bit frustrating how crap I am at gaming, particularly with shooters. I’m trying some different things to try and figure out what I’m into. I recently finished bioshock, so I just bought bioshock infinite. Also alien isolation, Alan wake, resident evil, and Uncharted legacy of thieves collection. I don’t get a lot of screen time but I’ll find time to try em out and see what grabs me.

I’m not at all sure you can assume gamers are leftists. An awful lot seem to be pretty hard right.
