Yeah that’s fair, I never got to play GTA3 so vice city was my mind-blown moment.
- Comment on Best game ever? 2 days ago:
I’ve not played any of the Yakuza games but they are definitely on my list.
- Comment on Best game ever? 2 days 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 1 week 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? 1 week 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 weeks ago:
I’d buy that.
- Comment on Steam Deck Gaming News 3 weeks 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.

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.

I’ll check it out, cheers!

Seems to run great.
- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages | Gameplay Sizzle | Coming May 15, 2025 2 months ago:
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 2 months 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 2 months 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.
- Comment on GTA VI Might Inspire Other AAA Developers to Price Their Games at $100 2 months ago:
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? 2 months 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 2 months 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? 2 months ago:
Neck tie.
- Comment on SteamOS expands beyond Steam Deck 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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? 2 months 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 2 months ago:
Not every purchase in the UK either.
- Comment on Do you have any recommendations for casual games? 3 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? 3 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 3 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.
