  Yeah, where’s the panda?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says⁩ ⁨⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I’m just now playing it for the first time too. I’m really enjoying it and still have so much to do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon discovers cigarettes⁩ ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  This is actually a very good description of how a shot of heroin feels, when you have a habit. It’s just much moreso than cigarettes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I’d buy a DLC for 2016 right now but I doubt I’ll buy Dark Ages, at least not until it’s on sale.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck / Gaming News #17⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I’m currently playing cyberpunk for the first time and am loving it. Haven’t played Witcher 3 either, though that’s on my list. Had a twenty year break from gaming until I got a steam deck recently so have loads to catch up on!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Catchiest video game song?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s an old one, but the Outrun soundtrack was proper catchy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Elden Ring’ Movie in the Works From ’Civil War’ Director Alex Garland, A24⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Alex Garland has made some pretty good movies, so there’s a chance. I thought his instincts with annihilation were pretty much spot on. But yeah, movies based on games do not have a great track record.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨70% of games that require internet get destroyed⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They should be required to transition the game into an offline mode!

  Seems to me like this would be good business sense too. Wouldn’t people be more likely to buy their next online game if you felt there was a good chance you could keep playing it after a few years? Instead they’re going to get a reputation for making products with a short shelf life.

  I’m playing it for the first time at the mo, seems great to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doom the dark ages...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The general sentiment among those folks was that Eternal skewed too far into “combat puzzle” territory, where encounters felt like they had prescribed “solutions” that you needed to perform to succeed reliably.

  Nailed it, that was exactly my problem with Eternal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gave him an offer, then took it away. Thanks PayPal.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess it works too, I just read all that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Baldur's Gate 3 cast got a new set of pre-painted minis and—oh, oh no, oh no no no⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t realise the town had cashed in on that incredible fuckup, fair play.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, there’s so many good games and so little time, I don’t understand how anyone wouldn’t have a big backlog anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I really enjoyed 2016, couldn’t get into Eternal though. I’m definitely going to hold off on this new one until it’s been out longer and goes on sale, unless it gets standing ovations. Then, if I don’t like it I haven’t lost much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Software engineer lost his $150K-a-year job to AI—he’s been rejected for 800 jobs and forced to DoorDash and live in a trailer to make ends meet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I make about the same and save less than you each year - but I can only do it because I live in a van. How do you keep your housing costs so low?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CD Projekt exec says "the right thing to do" is release a real Nintendo Switch 2 cartridge for Cyberpunk 2077, not a game-key card, in message to other studios: "Do not underestimate the physical edit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve just started playing it for the first time, seems to run fine on my steam deck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Silent Hill 2 (remake) now on GOG⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I played the first one or two long ago, I think it was early 00s. They were great, I was living in a big, long-abandoned commercial building we’d squatted and had a big screen (for those days) I’d found & fixed, amp and speakers likewise. I’d get stoned, stay up late playing alone, so atmospheric and proper scary. I really enjoyed them.

  I am sure I’ve forgotten enough plot to enjoy playing remakes but I’d be playing em on steam deck, and I’m a little worried they wouldn’t live up to my memories.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A month later, Japan’s cheap new PS5 rental service is still proving successful, with 200 locations renting out consoles at 100% capacity⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was a kid in the 80s this sort of business model was common with TVs and video recorders, then with early PCs. The machines were too expensive for many people to buy, so they’d rent instead. Cheaper consumer electronics killed this off, but as living standards get tighter maybe we’ll start seeing rentals becoming a thing again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 268 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I like to see good animal or bird life in games, really ups the immersion for me if it’s gotta good algorithm. Do they react if you kick em? An I think ppl have enjoyed looking after animals in computer games as long as there’s been computer games. I remember these tamagotchi things in the 80s or 90s, little LCD screens with some sorta animal you had to look after by pressing a tiny button.

  I’ve been enjoying your screenshot posts, cheers

  There’s something I like about those cat pics. Maybe it’s the way they look almost cat, but not entirely. Do they move like cats?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best game ever?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah that’s fair, I never got to play GTA3 so vice city was my mind-blown moment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best game ever?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve not played any of the Yakuza games but they are definitely on my list.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best game ever?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I felt much the same about vice city. Changed my understanding of what games could be.

  Tape will come off when they sweat, better sew them together. And trim off those unnecessary arms, it’s just efficiency.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where to find help for a game name⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was playing on Sinclair spectrum and BBC b computers in the 80s but this kinda rings a vague bell. I’ll ask my brother and get back to you if he remembers anything

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Favourite 90s platformer?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t know about 90s, but Jet Set Willy was pretty great in the 80s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The creator of upcoming life sim Inzoi says he was "recklessly brave to even think about creating a game of this scale"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d buy that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck Gaming News⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for taking the time to put this together. I dunno if you are aware but there’s also a steam deck sub here and they’d probably be happy if this was posted there too.
