I know, right? Management is certainly a necessary skill, but worker-owned cooperatives could hire in management. In a more humane economic environment.
- Comment on DroidDeck Is Bringing the Real Steam Experience to Android, One Impossible Problem at a Time 5 days ago:
I appreciate the work, but the result is kinda depressing imo. I’m seeing a future where the younger generation can’t afford consoles or PC gaming - parents spending ~£2k on a machine for their kids just isn’t feasible for most families. They’re gonna miss out on the incredible experiences we had as young gamers. But most people can afford a phone or android tablet, so I guess mobile gaming is going to be how the next gen get to play games. Maybe it’s just cos I’m an old bastard but I can’t help but feel the mobile gaming experience isn’t the same. That said, this is pretty cool.
- Comment on EA is shutting down BioWare and the next Mass Effect has been canceled 1 week ago:
They’d love to make a game about hacking up journalists, but their lawyers say it would be inadvisable.
- Comment on 'If you can’t show your game to the world without fearing it’ll be cloned, something’s broken' says Moonlighter studio on its canceled demo 1 week ago:
Yeah, I heard an interview with Lucas Pope where he was saying he was working on something but wouldn’t be telling anyone anything about it - because he didn’t want a hundred crappy copies of whatever innovative idea he has, before his game is even published.
- Comment on GTA 6 Digital Preorders Already Topped 6 Million and $594 Million, With PlayStation Accounting for 74%, Sensor Tower Estimates 1 week ago:
Be funny if it does a cyberpunk and all the pre order ppl have to wait months for patches. Doesn’t seem likely tho, ho hum.

In the extremely unlikely event that it’ll run on my steam deck - or its eventual successor - I’ll probably play it in a few years when it’s on sale. But there’s so much good stuff out there already that I’m in no rush.
- Comment on Console market craters as Xbox sales crash 33% to the lowest since launch 25 years ago, PS5 sales drop 25% 2 weeks ago:
Good lesson to learn. You can possibly still sell all that shit and break even, the way prices are these days.
- Comment on Man dies after tiger attack at wildlife park 3 weeks ago:
Kinda sounds like he done too many drugs or had a mental break.
- Comment on Man dies after tiger attack at wildlife park 3 weeks ago:
Nah, that’s when you kill your tiger. I guess you could say the guy was a tigreophile tho
- Comment on Anon experiences a glitch 4 weeks ago:
Didn’t know there was a term for not having an internal voice. I’m actually kinda glad I don’t have one, seems like it would get annoying. I can make one when I try, but wouldn’t want that shit going on all the time.
- Comment on The PS5 hacking scene just took a big leap forward 4 weeks ago:
I prefer the more salacious ‘Rodgered’ or ‘spanked’.
- Comment on Realistically, what do people plan to do on the Moon and Mars that requires a permanent, or long term human presence there? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, I understand the Martian dust is kind of extremely carcinogenic too. And it’s so fine you just can’t keep it out.

I’m playing baldur’s gate 3 and loving it. Wasn’t that AAA? I’m planning to try the game of the year winners and nominees for the past few years - I haven’t much gaming experience, but if a lot of ppl think they’re good, that’s a recommendation to me. I think they’re not all AAA productions though. The only problem I see with AAA games is the expense - but I can wait for steam sales. But yeah, in thinking to play tactical breach wizards next, looks great.

I kinda feel like it’s going to struggle to live up to all this hype, no matter how good it is.

What’s wrong with coal, eh?

This is why companies should be worker owned cooperatives. Yes, management is a useful skill, and the workers can hire it.
Wishful thinking I know, but so much more sustainable.
- Comment on Dwarf Fortress' creator says the industry's in shambles over AI and layoff-happy CEOs: 'Everyone I know, their bosses are slowly getting psychosis' 1 month ago:
If AI ever reaches the point that it can produce a creative, fun game that feels worth playing - which I doubt, because you gotta have a soul to make art - then anyone can press that button. Why would people buy their game when they can get AI to make their own?
He’s right, these people have shit the corporate bed.

Yeah, and it’s all made up money and value. Capitalism seems to have reached the runaway diesel engine stage, where it ain’t going to stop until we cut off its oxygen or it blows the fuck up.
- Comment on The Witcher III: Wild Hunt Remastered - Reveal Trailer | gamescom 2026 2 months ago:
Great, I’ve been meaning to play Witcher 3 for ages and it’s nearly reached the top of my ‘play next’ list. Be nice if the remaster runs on steam deck.

Lol they kind of have a mutually assured destruction thing going.
- Comment on 'Bioshock Review' - MandaloreGaming 2 months ago:
I played it for the first time about a year ago and actually really enjoyed it. But yeah, it did feel like it could have been a bit shorter.
Did you mean bioshock 2 is better or infinite? Cos I’ve not played either yet.

The enemies are usually foreigners or aliens, so it’s cool with them.

IMO that absolutely is misleading! It’s like the fuckers have squeezed another number in somehow! I guess they didn’t feel they could use zero lol

Everyone draws the line somewhere.
- Comment on Following accusations, James Pond Legacy devs say no generative AI was used in creating artwork 2 months ago:
Yeah that’s definitely AI. At least there’s no doubt now.
- Comment on Frustrated GP patients hang up as Yorkshire accent baffles AI receptionist 2 months ago:
This shit might actually be an improvement on my GP. They put you on hold, annoying music and regular messages saying “You are now number . . . 53 . . . in the queue.” Then, after an hour, when you’re actually number 3 or something, they automatically hang up.
- Comment on Fired Rockstar devs don’t want you to boycott GTA 6 but ask for support - Dexerto 2 months ago:
Won’t be an issue for me - my only gaming device is a steam deck so I very much doubt I’d be able to play this even if I wanted to.
- Comment on Anon doesn't have a plan 2 months ago:
I think people who do work that involves contact with the general public have to be petty emotionally resilient. I am no good at it. A lot of the public are utter wankers and throw you into fight or flight mode.
- Comment on Anon doesn't have a plan 2 months ago:
Back in the day, I used to eat pretty well out of dumpsters. Wasn’t really homeless, was living in an old caravan, but was proper broke.
These days, at least round here, they lock up the dumpsters, have security guards, or deliberately contaminate the food. Wankers.
