Yeah, I’ve also known people who can’t handle being on their own at all. It’s not obvious if they spread themselves amongst a bunch of different people. I’m the exact opposite, I guess somewhere in the middle is the sweet spot.
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 1 day ago:
Ah, fair enough. I played it for a bit and then moved on, partly because the steam deck was struggling with it. TBF I’m impressed the steam deck could play it at all.
- Comment on What is the definitive way to play certain games? 1 day ago:
Silent Hill - alone, in the dark.
- Comment on Gaming market melts down after Google reveals new AI game design tool — Project Genie crashes stocks. (A.K.A . Investors panic because they don't understand what "real" videogames are) 2 days ago:
That’s all it does so far.
But I doubt AI games will succeed, people are always going to want the human touch when it comes to art.

Great, you’re in for a treat
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 2 days ago:
Yeah, same. And my hands are fucked up, and my reflexes slower. Shame, I used to like that sort of game when I was younger. Ho hum, plenty of other good stuff to play.
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 2 days ago:
That’s a shame, I really enjoyed it on my steam deck
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 2 days ago:
I played it on steam deck about a year ago, and TBH it struggled. Though it’s probably been optimised better since, I think development is ongoing. Still the best driving game I’ve played.
- Comment on Players are returning their Dispatch copies due to Switch censorship 5 days ago:
Yeah, also if we argue that violent videogames don’t cause violence - what’s the problem with sexual content? If they’re censoring sexual stuff because they believe videogames if corrupt and change behaviour, the violent ones should definitely be banned.
Also - I’m using Google’s Android keyboard and just realised the dictionary didn’t know the word ‘sexual’. Just in case someone might try to write something spicy. FFS. It knew ‘violent’ though.
- Comment on Anon likes pizza 5 days ago:
Also the cost of actually cooking the thing. Doesn’t take long but oven has to be proper hot. The cost will be negligible compared to the ingredients, but many people are carefully watching their utility bills right now.
- Comment on Why do you need a launcher? (asking older gamers actually) 1 week ago:
It’s there, and I’m lazy.
- Comment on Ubisoft target audience when they play a good game 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I played it for the first time last year and I couldn’t really get into it. Gave up a few hours in.
- Comment on AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028 4 weeks ago:
Doesn’t that rely on everyone having a fast internet connection with a high data cap? That’s not the case for a lot of people
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Hey that looks good actually. Wishlisted it for when I have more time.
- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 2 months ago:
Yeah, the steam deck does this, it’s a great feature.

Didn’t he buy a massive yacht on the same day steam announced these products? It can’t be easy to sneak a superyacht under the publicity radar, but he seems to have pretty much managed it.
- Comment on Anon finds a bot 2 months ago:
I like to think that somewhere out there, an LLM is slowly digesting my reddit history, lurking in the cloud, waiting to one day puke one of those stinky brown nuggets into some executive’s quarterly sales report.
- Comment on Gaming Laptop with Linux Preinstalled and 32GB+ RAM? 2 months ago:
Yeah I have a gaming laptop and I haven’t used it since I got a steam deck.
- Comment on Anon gets his life in order 2 months ago:
Personally, I prefer dating a woman who has sex with me when she wants to because she wants to. Fuck these manipulative head games.

Didn’t realise there was a new black company book out - wow, thank you!

You’re in for a treat, I wish I could read them for the first time again!
- Comment on A weaseetlduclob fights a salamander gang and grows ever more horrifying in abomination evolver Strange Seed 2 months ago:
I didn’t know ‘abomination evolver’ was a game category but it sounds great!
- Comment on Anon hates dark fantasy 2 months ago:
Yeah, I loved this series. If someone could translate the slightly sardonic tone into a videogame that would be great. Currently reading Steven Erikson’s Malazan series, which is excellent. If you liked Black Company, you might like this too. Different tone, but both basically follow soldiers dealing with fucked up stuff.
- Comment on Godot Engine – 2025 Showreel 2 months ago:
That looks pretty versatile. I guess people are still wary of unity after they shit the bed a couple of years back? This seems like a plausible alternative.
- Comment on Square Enix says it wants generative AI to be doing 70% of its QA and debugging by the end of 2027 2 months ago:
Market gardening isn’t so bad, people gotta eat. But yeah, if you’re cutting lawns you’re going to suffer when the economy shits the bed.
- Comment on Protests erupt at Rockstar Games offices accusing GTA 6 developers of “Union Busting” 2 months ago:
GTA Bangkok you’d be stuck in traffic the whole time. The tuk tuks would be cool though.
- Comment on My friend got hacked and of course microsoft will not even try to help 2 months ago:
At least he got a response. A while ago I clicked on a bad link when drunk and lost control of my Facebook account. Zero response from meta. Wankers. It’s unfortunate, I’d like to delete the account as there are some unfortunate photos of me on there from way back. I guess I will forever be visible wearing my ex’s lacy underwear and gripping a can of strong cider. Ho hum.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 3 months ago:
I live in England, but maybe twenty years ago I’d go to my regular pub most days, have a couple of pints and maybe some food, socialise with people I’d got to know there.
Obviously that doesn’t happen anymore, it’s way too expensive now. Going to the pub or out for a meal is a rare treat these days.
- Comment on If A.I. is so fast and efficient, and CEOs are paid so much, why not replace CEOs with A.I.? 3 months ago:
It’s gotta be said, Zaphod kind of had a point there.
- Comment on Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed 3 months ago:
Yeah. I might break my rule for phantom liberty, it’s reduced to £17 at the mo. I’m enjoying cyberpunk so much I might make an exception here! But I’ve still got plenty in my backlog.
