I flippin love Stardew! Nice choice.
Also, have been follwing since your first post. What a journey.
- Comment on Video game PEGI age-ratings are changing in Europe from June. Four new categories added to tackle elements of addictive design, unmonitored online communication and loot boxes 2 weeks ago:
That’s the right direction I think.
Making an informed choice is important. If you do it anyway, who the hell are we to be everybodys parents.
But maybe that’s wrong of me to think that?
- Comment on Nintendo sues to prevent Trump from dodging full tariff refunds 2 weeks ago:
That’s the insane part.
The companies charges the people for the tarrifs = gets their money.
The companies sues the government for the money they took from the people = gets more money.
Almost like that was the plan to begin with.
- Comment on Nintendo Suing U.S. Government Over Tariffs 3 weeks ago:
Are you arguing for Nintendo being as evil as the US government, or what is the point here.
- Comment on Nintendo Suing U.S. Government Over Tariffs 3 weeks ago:
Nintendo evil for locking down emulators, using it’s market power to smash small indie etc etc.
US evil for raping children, killing them, kills civilians, destroying millions of lives, bombing other countries, deporting families, stealing tax pater money etc etc.
Yeah, good comparison you idiot…

- Comment on Tesla Sales Down 55% in UK, 58% in Spain, 59% in Germany, 81% in Netherlands, 93% in Norway vs. 2024 5 weeks ago:
If you buy one after the Elon sieg heil on stage, you either dont follow anything news related, or you’re bat shit crazy.
- Comment on Tesla Sales Down 55% in UK, 58% in Spain, 59% in Germany, 81% in Netherlands, 93% in Norway vs. 2024 5 weeks ago:
And they buy so many EV’s per capita, so it’s also an important one.
- Comment on The EU moves to kill infinite scrolling 1 month ago:
What-about-ism.
Why should people looking at social media addiction look at the education system?
In what world is it a choice between the two?
- Comment on Stop Killing Games Update: final signature count revealed 2 months ago:
Forcing games to be playable offline is a child hood memory/dream come true.
I miss the times, and it’s insane it went away so fast.
- Comment on YouTube's long unskippable ads may have finally met their match 2 months ago:
Brazil and Japan is adopting the “side loading”, so it is happening, but slowly.
There’s also a few examples of this, that we dont hear about in the media as much, but there’s some food quality and plastic standards that spreads.
I also remember something about airplanes and your rights when flights are delayed and stuff, but I cant recall it specifically.
- Comment on YouTube's long unskippable ads may have finally met their match 2 months ago:
Not yet anyway, but it might have a ripple effect on other countries doing the same.
Just like EU consumer laws sometimes gets adopted by other countries a few years later.
- Comment on 3 months ago:
Most games being released aren’t even worth my time, let alone my money.
I dont think you are in their target group then.
- Comment on Malaysia says it will ban social media for under-16s from next year 3 months ago:
If it was me, I would suggest that everything where you can post stuff to a feed is considered Social Media.
Direct messaging is not. But if they implement other features into the app, like stories, it’s Social Media again.
- Comment on The EU made Apple adopt new Wi-Fi standards, and now Android can support AirDrop 4 months ago:

- Comment on HyTale has been acquired by the original devs and is going to release into Early Access 4 months ago:
Seems like the new engine had so many problems that the old engine was actually better made.
They wouldnt have chosen this approach without good reason.
- Comment on Hytale announces a return 4 months ago:
Going up against Minecraft. About time someone makes a serious contender. I’ll watch this one.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 4 months ago:
Steam Machine is also bigger. Small costs money if you want powerfull.
Also, it’s newer hardware.
I also think it will be priced at least a 100€ above the Deck, but I would also be willing to pay that for a console/living room computer.
- Comment on Square Enix says it wants generative AI to be doing 70% of its QA and debugging by the end of 2027 4 months ago:
Well, it’s not game development, but bugfixes and quality testing.
I dont know, but it does makes sense, when there’s still 30% work being done by human eyes. There will still be people checking everything through.
Even if they hit 50-50, they could put more money into the development.
The argument that they will just save the money only works as long as another company doesnt use it for game devs. Otherwise you naturally fall behind.
- Comment on Pornhub says UK visitors down 77% since age checks came in 4 months ago:
/s right? Because it’s obvious people wont age verify for porn, when there’s a thousands alternatives.

Nice change. But it’s probably because of the EU making it mandatory more than Sony being good guys.
- Comment on Confirmed - Electronic Arts (EA) sold off to investors including Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund 5 months ago:
Well, I think it’s too nice to call them facists only. It’s literally a dictatorship.

- Comment on Nintendo can disable your Switch 2 for piracy in the U.S., but not in Europe, as confirmed by its EULA 8 months ago:
Cant you sideload on iPhone now after EU regulations? Or is it only 3rd party app stores?

- Comment on EFF and 80 Organizations Call on EU Policymakers to Preserve Net Neutrality in the Digital Networks Act 8 months ago:
Good on them. Nice that they speak up about bad proposals and call them out.
