- Comment on Got any must-play games for strategy fans? 3 days 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.

So the fuckers can learn!
- Comment on Anon gets rid of crackheads 5 days 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.
- Comment on Help me out: which looks better for the Duck - the neck tie or the bow tie? 1 week ago:
Neck tie.
- Comment on SteamOS expands beyond Steam Deck 1 week 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 week 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 week 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? 3 weeks ago:
I thought the old homeworld games were great. Kind of RTS in space ships. They’re old now but still good.
- Comment on Valve is fixin' to start some arguments over the holidays because 'All adult members in a Steam Family' can see your Steam Replay page 4 weeks ago:
Not every purchase in the UK either.
- Comment on Do you have any recommendations for casual games? 5 weeks 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? 1 month 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 1 month 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? 1 month 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? 1 month 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 1 month 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? 1 month 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.

Lol nah you weren’t the only one!
- Comment on Games to play with my late 40s brothers? 2 months ago:
Thanks mate, appreciated. Yeah I also seen a recurrent pattern in peoples’ suggestions, just what I was hoping for when I posted the question!

They have a fluttery feeling in their heart and pigeon shit leaking from their chest cavity.
- Comment on Games to play with my late 40s brothers? 2 months ago:
I’ve wishlisted it, so yeah I’ll keep an eye on it. Cheers mate, that looks like a good un
- Comment on Games to play with my late 40s brothers? 2 months ago:
Great I’ll check em out, thanks mate. I’m going to send this comment to my brothers. Yeah I’m thinking we can do co-op gaming.i don’t think we really want to play against other people, we’re pretty much looking for a private playground until we get good enough to play with the clever kids!
- Comment on Games to play with my late 40s brothers? 2 months ago:
Tbh not really. I’m the only one who’s at all flexible - I can do steam deck or old laptop (3050). But electricity is an issue for me, I’m not on mains electric just solar & batteries, and the steam deck is much less power hungry. Both my brothers have kids and homes to pay for. We’re not broke but can’t really upgrade tech without having to budget. We were hoping to find something that’ll work for us all.
- Comment on Games to play with my late 40s brothers? 2 months ago:
Thanks, I’ll check it out!
- Comment on Games to play with my late 40s brothers? 2 months ago:
I’m forwarding this whole thread to my brothers, we’ll agree on something. I like the look of sniper elite 5, thanks!
- Comment on Games to play with my late 40s brothers? 2 months ago:
Lol we actually played worms Armageddon against each other before. If it still has stuff like exploding sheep etc it be a good game to play with their kids
- Comment on Games to play with my late 40s brothers? 2 months ago:
Hmm left for dead 2 seems possible for steam deck at least. I’ll check with the others. Yeah we could do co-op, but I don’t think we wanna play against other humans. Just something we can catch up an have fun for two or three hours each week
- Comment on Games to play with my late 40s brothers? 2 months ago:
It doesn’t have to be against each other, but I think at least to start we wouldn’t want to play with other randoms cos we’re all pretty amateur level.
Yeah we’ve been trying to find something but like you say the platforms seem to be a problem for most things

- Comment on Disposable vapes to be banned in England and Wales from June 2 months ago:
TBH I like an elfbar sometimes. But I know how unsustainable they are, buying one feels worse than buying cocaine or meat or insert whatever fun and ethically challenging item.
I’ve never managed to replicate the disposable taste with a reusable vape, and I’ve had experience with reusables. Anyone know if it’s doable?
