- Comment on Man Charged for Wiping Phone Before CBP Could Search It 1 day ago:
If I travel to the US next time to visit family, I’m thinking of getting a burner phone and also leave my iPad at home. It will be a boring flight but I don’t feel safe otherwise. Shit country.
- Comment on Gaming Pet Peeves 2 weeks ago:
3D level design where you can get stuck on elements when you just want to move past them. Especially frustrating in racing games or sections where you have to move fast. Controls are just not precise enough to deal with this under stress.
Visible polygons and interactable polygons are not the same thing. Play Banjo Kazooie and Yookah Laylee (including the remake) to see the difference. The latter has you constantly bump into things because the environment is not smoothed out.
On the other hand some studios take it to the other extreme and make you walk almost on rails, childproofing every corner. A good middle ground is needed.
- Comment on Games that I finished this year so far. Probably the best year of gaming for me since 2007 2 weeks ago:
Congratulations! I’m happy when I finish two games in a year.

- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 3 weeks ago:
Valve will have a good enough overview on the situation and if they think it will hurt sales they can simply make a statement. They can handle it.
It’s interesting to discuss about the price but being upset about „idiots“ who have wrong ideas and playing hero for a multi billion dollar corporation is something I’m confused about.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 3 weeks ago:
So what exactly does that change? Value already decided the price and that is what you will have to pay. Who cares what anyone ever predicted?
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 4 weeks ago:
Just finished it with all achievements (except final Takezo fight, yet) in about 50 hours. It was a little repetitive yes, but it didn’t bother me much. The setting, presentation and gameplay checks all the boxes for me so I kept going.
But I would’ve also been happy if it was shorter. That’s my general opinion on games these days.

- Comment on Video Game History Foundation Offers Retro Magazine Subscriptions 2 months ago:
I miss my old Club Nintendo magazines. Shouldn’t have thrown them away. One of them had a huge story about the „upcoming“ 64DD, which then never released outside of Japan. I used to browse through that from time to time, dreaming…

So they depended entirely on wishlists? I thought it’s the norm to buy ad spots on the homepage on launch.

How this is just a sidenote in the article is beyond me. Why did they intentionally place a knife there? So messed up.

That Whatsapp button is very annoying and can’t be removed. It feels like every app has a „helpful“ chatbot now that sits in the corner, occasionally telling you it exists. They really want everyone to use it. DDG at least gives you options to completely disable it.

- Comment on 'The Last of Us' Season 2 Finale Viewership Down 55% From Season 1 6 months ago:
I would recommend playing the game first or ditch the rest of the series altogether. Certain important moments need to be felt really hard and the series is just not delivering that. I played the game twice actually and it still works. It’s a bit long though.

I’m surprised it lasted 3 seasons to be honest. I hated it.

If the customers still buy it in the end, the publisher was right. We will see over time. Maybe there will be a drop in sales but then GTA6 comes along and no one can resist, opening the path for other games.
