- Comment on Massive generational gap: Gen Z flocks to multiplayer, while 55+ sticks to single-player 1 month ago:
I’m not that old, but time is flying at me, and in my experience it’s that older people don’t have the same time options and skill level to “git gud” at newer games and that just makes online games less fun for some of us. So single player games we can take our time on and finish without somebody in the headset barking at us. I really prefer things like Fortnite STW these days, I can log in and choose to pair up with others or go it alone and I have the option to choose my difficulty level with the different biomes.
It’s ok, one day Gen Beta will be the same way with the Z’s, it’s the circle of life.
I still play online some, but I’ve come to the conclusion I’m not great at it and never will be and I’m ok with that.
- Comment on GTA Online is no longer supported by Steam Deck thanks to a slightly baffling Rockstar anti-cheat update 2 months ago:
There have been posts on X/Twitter/Nitter and some Discords that some of the Mod-Menus have bypassed the anti-cheat, which makes all of this crappy for Deck players.
- Comment on Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions Gets First Gameplay Trailer, Will Launch On PlayStation Plus 3 months ago:
JK Rowling doesn’t believe Transgender people are the sex they identify with and as such is labeled a TERF, Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist, and many, especially on the internet believe she should be boycotted and no self respecting person would give her or her properties a money. You typically will see some form of that comment in most postings related to her or Harry Potter.
- Comment on No one should have to “grow a thicker skin”: Valorant studio commit to harsh penalties for harassment 5 months ago:
What’s their policy when someone buys one of these systems from one of these dickheads?
Most likely their policy is the same as the one Microsoft has for their games and consoles. Microsoft once told me, we’re sorry you purchased a banned console but banned consoles cannot be unblocked, buy a new one next time.
- Comment on Prison Architect 2 developers part ways with Paradox months before it's due for release 6 months ago:
I was already weary of the change from 2D to 3D, then they had a couple of delays and now the main dev is bouncing just before the supposed release, it all looks really bad. This seems to be a wait a year or two and see if Paradox sorts it out kind of title.
- Comment on HELLDIVERS 2 sees over 130K bad reviews on Steam as Sony double down 6 months ago:
They should have taken the lumps on release when they couldn’t keep up with the demand to play and kept the Sony login requirement. It was there on day one but people couldn’t get in to make accounts so they suspended it. That was a mistake if this was going to be mandatory in the end. They also really screwed up by releasing the game in regions that don’t have PSN, how did that even happen is the big question I want to know.
On the other hand, waving it and allowing people to play it without the 3rd party requirement also showed it’s a crappy requirement that doesn’t seem to do much other than annoy people to allow Sony to collect data. Sony also looks like assholes by changing their web page from “login is optional to play Sony titles on PC” to “some games require login.”
Disclaimer here, I have a PSN account because I’ve owned multiple past Sony consoles so I’m not really affected so much, they already lost and sold my data multiple times. For everybody else, I get why they are pissed.
- Comment on Warner Bros. leave developers feeling "sick and dizzy" as more Adult Swim games are being delisted 8 months ago:
I think it’s more they don’t want to pay to upkeep them.
Owen Dreery told arstechnica…
“Even if a game is making no sales they still need to track those numbers, send sales reports to developers, generate international taxation documents for Canadians like me… etc. And who at WB is going to defend these indie games? Adult Swim Games is gone. To me it’s as simple as ‘Let’s get rid of these niche products made by people who no longer work here which I don’t care about.’”
- Comment on Warner Bros. leave developers feeling "sick and dizzy" as more Adult Swim games are being delisted 8 months ago:
This reeks of the same thing Discovery did when it took control of WB’s television and movie production, they canned completed projects, canceled upcoming stuff, and had TV shows like “Final Space” that were out for years erased, all so they could claim a tax break and pocket those billions. What a bunch of frelling bastards.
