That thumbnail is really not helping the movement. Really hope this goes through though.
- Comment on Mass Effect 5 is "still in pre-production" says director as BioWare shifts full focus to the sci-fi RPG amid dev reshuffles and reported layoffs 1 week ago:
Mass Effect is a trilogy. I really enjoyed it and glad Bioware just let be great on its own without needing to reboot it /s
- Comment on Do Australians in the northern hemisphere celebrate Christmas in July to have a Christmas that reminds them of home? 1 week ago:
That’s a good question, I’d be nested to hear their answers. I wouldn’t, the concept of a white Christmas is novel enough to me that I would just celebrate in December and honestly Christmas in cold weather/snow is still in the public conception with the decorations down here. We still put up a tree with snow themed decorations, even though it’s just about the hottest time of the year.

- Comment on Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic as Steam’s top-rated game 2 weeks ago:
Steamcharts showed about 150,000 concurrent players playing the game when I saw a few days ago; I’m shocked at just how popular it is as well. I think he could basically just work on it 70 hours a week for the rest of his life and it would still be a great hourly rate.
- Comment on Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic as Steam’s top-rated game 2 weeks ago:
Mate, it’s one man, Self-published, pulling in the proceeds of a game that has sold 41 million copies. Even if he has made $5 per copy, that’s over $200 million dollars. The profit margin on his time even after 10 years is insane.
- 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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.

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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks ago:
Is this article written by AI? Some of the longest running, poorly phrased sentences here.
- Comment on Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun! 4 weeks 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! 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 Why does good faith matter ? 4 weeks 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.

What do you mean by Good? What do you mean by Faith? What do you mean by Matter?

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.

- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 1 month 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 1 month 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.
