- Comment on Survey for curiosity: How many readers are in a library network that holds video games? 2 days ago:
There are multiple library networks in my area. I’m sure at least one of them does.
It’s sad to think that with physical copies going away, libraries won’t be able to loan them any more.

I never said that any birth rate was good or bad. I only said that if population increases, and currency supply does not increase, you will experience deflation (and that slight inflation is easier to achieve than aiming for balance and ending up too low).
- Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
That’s a separate problem.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
Tell people to stop having more than 2.1 kids, then. As long as the population increases, without making changes to the currency supply, money is going to become more scarce. Keeping it exactly in line is impossible, so it’s better to keep a small amount of inflation.

Still nope. That guy just spins rumors for YouTube views.
- Comment on Game design question : how to make a "trapped" player character? 5 days ago:
Yes, this sounds fun! I would play this game.
Any kind of “action at a distance” would give you the feel you’re looking for.
- Comment on Silksong is playable in a museum this September, but that probably doesn't help narrow down its release date 6 days ago:
Unless they’re far from the chest, or at a normal distance.
- Comment on Do you think Square Enix should remake other Final Fantasy entries? 1 week ago:
There are so many games that have yet to even be thought of.
Oh yeah? Name one.
- Comment on Bethesda Gifts Everybody in the Skyblivion Mod Team a Copy of Oblivion Remastered 2 weeks ago:
No, that would probably be Valve. Several fan mods became full games in their own right (Counter-Strike, Black Mesa). Others were mods of non-Valve games (Team Fortress, Dota 2 (sort of)).

Honestly that’s probably true. Killing them with kindness. If they all have this for free, they may not have much motivation to continue.
- Comment on When Nintendo games were affordable 2 weeks ago:
In what way?
- Comment on When Nintendo games were affordable 2 weeks ago:
Still are. The Switch still takes cartridges.
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster is real - Eurogamer 3 weeks ago:
The quality of Unreal games is a product of the developer. Plenty of games have been great. Satisfactory and Talos Principle 2, for example.

It was pretty good.

The only GTA game I’ve played was the one on the DS, so 🤷♂️
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster is real - Eurogamer 3 weeks ago:
Usually they do that shortly before announcing their own, like Nintendo with AM2R. Maybe they won’t do it at all.
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster is real - Eurogamer 3 weeks ago:
Considering Skyrim and Fallout 4 inherited bugs from Morrowind, I’m sure this has inherited them again. And I’m sure everything feels just as janky.
- Comment on Eternal Darkness' infamous sanity system patent has expired - so can anyone now copy it? 3 weeks ago:
If you invented a new and novel method of painting, like Jackson Pollock’s, you could potentially patent that. Directionally brushing has imperial buttloads of prior literal art.
- Comment on Nintendo confirms $90 price for full Breath of the Wild experience on Switch 2 3 weeks ago:
The others are certainly more linear, but you could also do things like the three heart challenge. Or emulate and play a randomized game.
- Comment on American Truck Simulator is adding a road trip mode where you drive different vehicles, 'say, a powerful pickup or even a sports car' 3 weeks ago:
Why not just play Wreckfest?
- Comment on Nintendo confirms $90 price for full Breath of the Wild experience on Switch 2 3 weeks ago:
Yeah but just for a rerelease with some new paint?
- Comment on Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version 4 weeks ago:
Literally just let people host private servers. It worked fine for decades, and still does.
- Comment on First-party Switch 2 games—including re-releases—all run either $70 or $80 4 weeks ago:
I hope they still have tank controls, and designed the game with those in mind. I’ve been playing the Prime games like that for so long.
Failing that, at least a twin stick control scheme would be nice.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 GameCube controller is only compatible with GameCube games, Nintendo says 4 weeks ago:
No, they’re reporting that Nintendo is saying it, and also reporting that in the past it’s hasn’t been true. Consider it a warning, and to set your expectations if you buy a Switch 2.
- Comment on Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console 4 weeks ago:
Make enough of them that scalping isn’t profitable.
- Comment on Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console 4 weeks ago:
I don’t need it to play Smash with friends on the couch.
Really I shouldn’t need the subscription for GC ports either. What’s wrong with making them individual purchases like on the 3DS? (Answer: that’s not monthly recurring revenue.)
- Comment on Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console 4 weeks ago:
I am using my Switch just fine without an online subscription. I guess Nintendo thinks I am using it wrong.
- Comment on Physical Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games are reportedly Switch 1 carts with codes in the box 4 weeks ago:
Like forever, not just because they’re rushing this out the door? There won’t be any Switch 2 carts of cross-gen games?
- Comment on Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console 4 weeks ago:
I need a fucking online subscription to buy a controller???
