- Comment on Please suggest budget controllers for kaizo mario.. 6 days ago:
A decent example of a bad d-pad would be the Switch Pro Controller. Unless they’ve fixed it in a later revision, the controller has an issue with outputting diagonals when they aren’t intended.
- Comment on The Witcher 4 Recasts Ciri 6 days ago:
Ciri being a witcher is already going outside of existing lore, and it seems very unnecessary; she’s powerful enough in her own right, and shouldn’t need to be swapped 1:1 for Geralt.
- Comment on Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale? 3 weeks ago:
FF7 Remake. I tried a “demo” and have been waiting for a sale. It’s still more than I’d like to spend on the game, but I want to go back and continue my saved game.
- Comment on Sony reportedly prepping PlayStation 5 portable, plans to battle Nintendo's handheld dominance 3 weeks ago:
It’s an ongoing process.
- Comment on Veilguard Isn’t the First Dragon Age Game to Face ‘Woke’ Criticism 1 month ago:
There usually aren’t many complaints of something being woke if the product is actually good. I think the main takeaway is that nobody wants to be lectured, and told they are wrong for having a different opinion, and amateurish writing can easily come across as preachy or bring a self-insert.
- Comment on In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment? 1 month ago:
Sid Meier’s Pirates! There are so few actually good pirate games.
- Comment on Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Team Disbanded After Critically Lauded Platformer Fails to Meet Expectations - Report 1 month ago:
True, but even through Steam, you’re still dealing with Ubi’s launcher and Denuvo, so it’s just adding another layer on top.

I wanted to play this, but not enough to interact with their launcher and Denuvo.

Hell yeah. I went with Kubuntu because I figured it would be easy for a beginner to troubleshoot eventual issues, given the amount of asked-and-answered Ubuntu queries online.

If you’re coming from Windows, something that runs KDE Plasma will feel very familiar.

- Comment on Ubisoft Cancels Press Previews of Assassin's Creed Shadows 2 months ago:
Inaccuracies, both historical and caused by a general lack of research. Stolen assets that they have no right to use, some of which could be considered culturally insensitive. Differences in the English and Japanese “apology” letter which make it seem like they’re disregarding the Japanese, or attempting to turn the rest of the world against them. General lack of polish.

You can buy third party joycons that make it a lot more comfortable. The originals are tiny and make my hands hurt.

I really doubt they’ve got an IP lock on place; just set up a Family and invite your siblings and in-laws.

A lot of toothless game bloggers afraid of biting the hand that feeds.
- Comment on Spin Rhythm XD 3 months ago:
You do hit notes, but not all of them. The “dots” just need to be lined up, whereas “bars” require a button press as well.
- Comment on Spin Rhythm XD 3 months ago:
I’d had this game on my wishlist for quite a while, and I also picked it up during this sale. Among rhythm games that aren’t based around specific peripherals, i find this one of the most tight, well-playing ones, and I’d encourage anyone with even a little interest to check out the demo.
- Comment on #StopKilligGames update: Finland just passed the threshold. 4 months ago:
I don’t know whether it is the case, but it could be because those places have fewer English speakers, so they’re more difficult to reach.

Good immersive sims are few and far between. I’m cautiously optimistic.
- Comment on Louis Rossmann's response to harsh criticism of "Stop Killing Games" from Thor of @PirateSoftware 4 months ago:
No chance. There could be a few exceptions, but there’s no shot that would have any amount of widespread adoption.
- Comment on Louis Rossmann's response to harsh criticism of "Stop Killing Games" from Thor of @PirateSoftware 4 months ago:
The potential legislation would be specific to the EU, but doesn’t really matter; this market is large enough that it would directly affect other markets. Either the games are patched for all territories or others will make the EU-specific build available. One option generates positive press, the other negative, and any difference in cost would be negligible. There’s also the argument of preserving art.
- Comment on Braid: Anniversary Edition "sold like dog s***", says creator Jonathan Blow 4 months ago:
From a Steam review:
The game was advertised as having 40 new levels, which at first glance is sounds engaging and interesting, until you find out most of those levels are programmer/beta/alpha stages. It’s not entirely new content, but rather going through iterations until you arrive at the level as it is today. While interesting, it does feel disingenuous to advertise this as a new level. When I hear braid has a new level, I think “There’s one more puzzle piece”, but that’s not the case. You are not rewarded with anything in game, but instead receive some occasionally insightful commentary. In total, there are around 14 actual, new puzzles.

- Comment on Beyond Good & Evil remaster arrives next week with "improved graphics", new in-game content, and more 5 months ago:
Seems like everybody forgot about the HD release. It was good, and the only reason I haven’t played it a third time is because I don’t want to set up the console for it. Hopefully this new version won’t be too bogged down with Ubisoft crap 🤞
- Comment on FromSoftware says Elden Ring's popular Seamless Co-op mod is 'definitely not something we actively oppose,' and may even 'consider ideas like that with our future games' 5 months ago:
Their anti-cheat implementation could definitely use some work. Either that, or just give players the option to disable chromatic aberration, use ultrawide etc. I played the entire game offline, with the exception of a few specific spots. Sucks.
- Comment on V Rising has launched out of Early Access! 7 months ago:
Appreciate it. I actually found that out earlier today, and I gave it a shot. Tried it for a bit and uninstalled it, but I now know for sure that I would pay $10-15 for it, and no more.
- Comment on V Rising has launched out of Early Access! 7 months ago:
I have not, no. I don’t typically open the store page unless I have a specific goal in mind, in which case I do my business directly, and then leave the page.
- Comment on V Rising has launched out of Early Access! 7 months ago:
Without being able to try a demo, that price is more than I’m willing to pay for this, yes.
- Comment on V Rising has launched out of Early Access! 7 months ago:
Not paying much attention to early access titles didn’t pay off here. I was unaware of the game until today, and would like to play it, but the dealbreaker is the price; I would pay what they were charging during early access, but not the current price. Guess I’m waiting for a sale, though that means I’ll very likely just forget it exists again.
