- Comment on What are your favorite metroidvanias? 5 hours ago:
Absolute favorite is probably either Bloodstained or Castlevania Portrait of Ruin. Every Metroid and Castlevania is good though. Ender Lilies, Shantae, Momodora and Alwa are some other ones I’ve really liked off the top of my head.
Not Hollow Knight, which thinks it’s clever to not fill out the map as you go unless you happen to pick the path the map dude is on. Makes me feel like my time isn’t respected which is a pet peeve of mine. Also other than bosses the combat is boring and repetitive and you don’t get stronger fast enough for revisiting areas to not be a slog.
I mostly play on PC these days but historically it was Nintendo consoles. I like exploring maps.

Corporate greed.

The joke is officially dead when you force someone 3 layers above you to demand “why did Galactica go down over the weekend, who is responsible?!”.
On the contrary, that’s the best thing that could possibly happen.

That one is fun because it’s so fundamental that everyone that takes developmental biology in college gets you read about it
- Comment on "Can i ask you for a favor?" Is it rude to say no? 1 week ago:
I’d say something like “uhhh what’s up?” or “maybe?” and let them ask a specific question since saying yes sort of feels like agreeing to do the favor without knowing what it is first.

As a kid my mom kept a list of questions and we looked them up in the encyclopedias at the library every weekend, and a lot of people with more money had encyclopedia sets at home. So people could get information but it took a little effort and wasn’t instant

Polygraph is basically just there so there interviewer can say the polygraph says you’re lying and try to get you to say what that want to.
- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies 3 weeks ago:
It’s old lunacy. Believe it or not we live in a class based society where the vast majority of the people that actually provide value to society have their labor stolen by leeches that make money by having money and that is what that person means by the investor class.

I didn’t even look at it enough to know if I’d buy it otherwise when I saw it has denuvo. Always online DRM is a hard pass for me. I haven’t played the last 3 games Atlus released either and I’ve been playing almost every one since the ps2 era.
- Comment on Software engineer lost his $150K-a-year job to AI—he’s been rejected from 800 jobs and forced to DoorDash and live in a trailer to make ends meet 4 weeks ago:
Earlier this year, the CEO of Anthropic Dario Amodei predicted that more software jobs will soon go by the wayside. By September, he said AI will be writing 90% of the code; moreover, “in 12 months, we may be in a world where AI is writing essentially all of the code,” he tells the Council on Foreign Relations.
Sure, Jan
This is drawing lines between the job market and AI that probably aren’t there. We’re just in the beginning of an economic downturn.
- Comment on Who Is ‘Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves’ For? Following Abysmal Sales, SNK's CEO Will Transition to an Advisory Role 4 weeks ago:
I was excited until they put real people in it. So they lost at least one sale trying to mainstream it (and probably paid out the nose to do so)
- Comment on Did they already take the porn? 5 weeks ago:
I don’t think it will pass this time… but people were telling me roe v Wade was safe when I was raising alarms a decade ago and now look where we are. The theocrats and facists mean what they say and they’re way more persistent and capable than Peel people give them credit for.
- Comment on Did they already take the porn? 5 weeks ago:
Just like all the other horrible shit that’s happened that “will never happen” amirite

Business leadership is a club with a specific culture. To be in the club you have you drink the cool aid, so unfortunately most of them have the same mentality

Direct input existed before xinput and works just fine

Does it communicate via usb with the camera?
- Comment on What game do you really want to play, but haven't yet because you feel it in your soul that it will get a remake/remaster soon enough? 2 months ago:
Makes sense, though unlike zero mission i suspect it would essentially be a graphical update more than a remake. Gameplay-wise dread isn’t that different from super

Lol plenty of stuff with Mary sues comes out including in anime and nobody cares (except you apparently)
- Comment on What is the point of the Nicole spam? 2 months ago:
If their claim is so preposterous then why are they providing sources and you’re not. Writing longer and longer walls of text and being more and more disrespectful isn’t going to convince anyone. If you have evidence just provide it instead of insisting is exists.
- Comment on What is the point of the Nicole spam? 2 months ago:
Provide the evidence?
- Comment on Anon is smarter than a genius 3 months ago:
More like he was one person in a company and gets all the credit because society can’t fathom that anybody other than the leech on top has the impact they really do
- Comment on Anon is smarter than a genius 3 months ago:
Pretty sure Apple just packaged shit other companies made with extraordinary marketing. Like the ipod circle everybody went nuts for they settled a lawsuit with creative because of patent infringement. I actually had a creative zen and loved it because it didn’t have Apple software trying to control my music library.

If all the companies that sell a common good at the supermarket shrinkflate, then are you supposed to just not but tortillas? For most, the answer is too sigh and still make burritos or whatever
- Comment on They're trying to charge Luigi with terrorism! Imagine that! 5 months ago:
Do you actually have a point? Innocent children slain: bad. Evil leech that has a large part in oppressing us - maybe not so bad.
Do you really think the dude being white has anything to do with it? Pretty sure “CEO of health insurance company” is a sufficient descriptor and race has nothing to do with it
- Comment on Players are now less "accepting" that games will be fixed, say Paradox, after "underestimating" the reaction to Cities: Skylines 2's performance woes 8 months ago:
I completely agree that business ghouls doing business ghoul things make studios make worse games… doesn’t really affect my point though… studios are not making games based on a “bar” set by the consumers as described in the original post…
- Comment on Players are now less "accepting" that games will be fixed, say Paradox, after "underestimating" the reaction to Cities: Skylines 2's performance woes 8 months ago:
They are part of the studios… point was “the bar” is “fun/interesting”. The vast majority of people that purchase games don’t have a bar as defined by the content I originally replied to.

Studios can make whatever they want. People aren’t putting in orders.
- Comment on Is martial arts really that useful? 8 months ago:
MMA has rules that don’t exist in real fights that almost certainly affect the dominance of styles
- Comment on Is linux actually gaming ready or is it just not for me? 9 months ago:
It’s better today than it was a year ago, and WAY better than it was 3 years ago, and is still improving. There are a few categories of games where you are likely to have problems though.
- competitive multiplayer games [kernel level anticheat, that one will probably remain a problem]
- very old games [getting better all the time, because wine is getting better all the times]
- very new AAA games [they mostly use one of a handful of game engines, so they tend to get fixed in batches]
I would say whether linux is ready for (windows) gaming depends on is different per person predicated on:
- What categories of games you play
- Any specific problematic game that is a dealbreaker for you
For me, I tend to play some older games, and there are a few that don’t work well. I don’t want to boot windows, so I just decide I can wait for it to get there for them.
For some people, “ready” means will run every windows program as if running on windows. We’re still a ways off from that, if we ever get there (it’s a moving target, as windows is still being developed…)
