- Comment on Randy Pitchford asks fans if they'd swallow future Borderlands exclusivity deals, almost 10,000 people say just put your damn games on Steam 1 week ago:
And typically the boycotters weren’t even the sort of people who were buying a switch 2 to begin with. Maybe there’s a subsection of them that will result in some loss of sales but it would be in the fraction of a percent. There’s no surprise to me when gamer boycotts fail.
- Comment on Let's discuss: God of War 1 week ago:
I played the first 3 after the 2018 reboot, then Ragnorak on ps5 on release. All are great IMO.
GoW3 was pretty special. I played the remaster on PS4 and and it is a big graphical jump from the first two after my eyes had got used to ps2 graphics again.
The sex minigames in all 3 are so very early 2000s and I loved them.
The reboot is a pretty good continuation of the combat formula, but there does feel like there is more variety in the originals.
Ragnorak stretched on a little too far, and I was fatigued by just how amazing everything looked eventually, but it was still a fun time. Just a less tight package than the very enjoyable 2018 Gow.
- Comment on Nintendo's free Switch 2 upgrades for key Switch 1 titles are remasters in all but name [Digital Foundry] 1 week ago:
Yep, waiting for the cynically released OLED version halfway through the gen in 3-4 years.
- Comment on Mario Kart World Faces Massive Backlash After Update, Online Racing Experience Ruined 1 week ago:
I think ESL could be a factor. Definitely LLMs have better English prose than this. I’m so used to seeing long running AI slop articles answering basic questions in 1000 words (rather than 10) and this reads similar.
- Comment on Mario Kart World Faces Massive Backlash After Update, Online Racing Experience Ruined 1 week ago:
Definitely pumping up the word count. The paragraph used to come around to the fact that Metacritic (not steam) is the site where SMKW is being review bombed gave me visceral feelings of anger.
- Comment on Mario Kart World Faces Massive Backlash After Update, Online Racing Experience Ruined 1 week ago:
Is this article written by AI? Some of the longest running, poorly phrased sentences here.
- Comment on Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun! 1 week ago:
Indeed. I think if you know about the other storefronts and isthereanydeal you don’t get a wrapped about steam summer sale. There’s usually some new ATLs that push newer/bigger game prices down a bit further than usual though.
- Comment on Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun! 1 week ago:
Lot of people saying it’s Meh but ones that I’ve been tempted by are:
ATL for Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate edition Crash Bandicoot Nsane trilogy for 90% off Stanley parable ultimate edition at lowest price since 2023
- Comment on Microsoft Plans Major Job Cuts at Xbox Gaming Division 1 week ago:
That would be a shakeup. If they released a Gaming veraion of Windows on a PC with quick resume that also played much of the Xbox library going back to the OG Xbox, that could appeal to a lot of people. Xbox is run by the same company that has an operating system installed on 71% of the worlds computers, and they still haven’t figured out how to leverage that.
- Comment on Square Enix acknowledges Expedition 33 success as inspiration for next Final Fantasy as turn-based is still beloved by gamers 1 week ago:
12 is remembered more fondly than maybe it deserves. The Gambit system was interesting though.
- Comment on Why does good faith matter ? 1 week ago:
Alright, time for round 2 of bad faith argument, let’s dive into defining every word you just used.
Alternatively, your definition of Good simply uses an antonym. That doesn’t get us any closer to a definition. Define it again. This time, be careful not to use any word I’ve asked you to use previously or else I’m going to dismiss the logic of definitions as being Circular.
How can you criticise me without having workable definitions of every I use?
By the way, I define Matter as “the impulse of the human mind’” so that’s what definition we’re using in our discussion now.
- Comment on Why does good faith matter ? 1 week ago:
What do you mean by Good? What do you mean by Faith? What do you mean by Matter?
- Comment on MindsEye developer confirms layoffs as it "focuses on updates and performance optimization for MindsEye" 2 weeks ago:
Okay, we need to right this ship. Everyone who works on the south end of the office: get to work on optimisation. The rest of you, you’re fired.

God this guy broke ToS while connected to the internet? Can’t MigSwitchs run offline? I thought it was just a cart dump.
- Comment on Was my ex really sorry/guilty? 2 weeks ago:
If you still have those messages and they prove that he knew you were a minor and pursued you anyway, you have an opportunity to take a civil lawsuit against him. Considering the age difference the value of that case to you may be significant.

The lost crown was extremely refreshing.

Loll, people will never stop getting these confused
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t know if offgassing is the reason the water tastes better when cooled overnight. I would do this with an enclosed bottle (no off-gassing possible) and it would taste equally better.
Definitely cooling it is an improvement, I always thought it tasted different due to how our mouth/taste buds responds to the dropping temperature.
- Comment on Xbox Game Pass might be getting a price hike 3 weeks ago:
Indeed. I think the last 6 months have been great value for PC game pass. Of course it goes against the OP/thread sentiment that Xbox is ripping everyone off.
I buy on steam/key resellers at heavy discount most of the time, but game pass allows me to play new release games that are in the “looks interesting, but I’m not dropping full price to try this out” category of games.
- Comment on Xbox Game Pass might be getting a price hike 3 weeks ago:
I think if you’re playing 1 new release game every month or two, you’re getting the value. I’m enjoying Avowed and Doom the Dark ages recently, but I’m very glad I didn’t pay for Doom.
Xbox has kind of been on a roll lately with the games they’ve added.
- Comment on Blue Prince - Have you played it? How blown is your mind? 3 weeks ago:
Regarding BP:
spoiler
Yeah, it feels like rolling credits on blue prince is just the beginning. I think you could have 100 hours in BP.
I feel the same way but will put more time into it if I get it on steam one day
- Comment on Switch 2 Breaks Records By Selling Over 3.5 Million Units In Four Days 3 weeks ago:
The comment I replied to believed that both the console and the game price is a scam, that is their valid opinion.
They criticised OP for “half caring about the rip off pricing”. OP didn’t think the console had ripoff pricing. Why is that a character flaw of op like is suggested by the commenter?
- Comment on Blue Prince - Have you played it? How blown is your mind? 3 weeks ago:
I played Blue Prince and Clair Obscur back to back on Game pass and I’ve got to say that these were two of the best games I’ve ever played in their respective genre. Makes me want to go back and try Myst/Riven.

Didn’t realise that consoles were sports teams that you were either in the club or out of it. OP is allowed to have a nuanced take.

- Comment on The Switch 2: Is it worth buying? 4 weeks ago:
The new Asus Xbox would be really cool if they got quick resume working. That would then be a really decent Game pass + windows handheld machine. I can’t see myself moving away from my steam deck OLED for a while, quickly resume is the killer feature.
- Comment on The Switch 2: Is it worth buying? 4 weeks ago:
I’m an Australian so I’m not 100% sure on what you’re paying for other consoles at the moment, but the switch 2 hardware is cheaper than the base disc PS5 slim and Xbox series X over here. Don’t even get me started on PC hardware.
Xbox raising their prices to $80 isn’t a good sign. Sony increased the price of the PS5 over here recently even though it won’t be subject to any tariffs, to subsidise their losses in the US.
All that is to say that Nintendo aren’t being so anti-competitive relative to the industry that I think they’re going to be forced to drop prices
- Comment on The Switch 2: Is it worth buying? 4 weeks ago:
I think the average PC gamer on Lemmy isn’t going to see the value in the Switch 2. I think for people that want things to just work the switch is a great console.
The Switch 2 is getting a little greedy with paid upgrades to switch 2 performance for switch 1 games, and that goes against the “just works” ethos.
- Comment on Microsoft and Asus announce two Xbox Ally handhelds with new Xbox full-screen experience 4 weeks ago:
If they can’t do that then this thing is kind of DOA. I’ve just assumed for some reason that this is what they’re doing.
- Comment on Microsoft and Asus announce two Xbox Ally handhelds with new Xbox full-screen experience 4 weeks ago:
LTT describes that the XBOX team have also trimmed down 2GB of W11 desktop bloat with this and have attempted to make the W11 experience more similar to a console. I’m curious to follow this. I’d imagine Microsoft are a bit intimidated by the fact that SteamOS is a better gaming OS than Windows. Obviously this must have been in the pipeline for a long time now.
