- 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 2 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.

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? 1 month ago:
Yeah that’s fair, I never got to play GTA3 so vice city was my mind-blown moment.
- Comment on Best game ever? 1 month ago:
I’ve not played any of the Yakuza games but they are definitely on my list.
- Comment on Best game ever? 1 month 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.

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

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

I’d buy that.

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.

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.

Seems to run great.

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 3 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 3 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.

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? 3 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.

- Comment on Anon gets rid of crackheads 3 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.

Neck tie.
- Comment on SteamOS expands beyond Steam Deck 3 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 3 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 3 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? 4 months ago:
I thought the old homeworld games were great. Kind of RTS in space ships. They’re old now but still good.

Not every purchase in the UK either.
